A creaking sound comes from the door can get annoying. Other than that nothing has gone wrong with this car.
This is my first new car and I love it. I have always wanted a corolla S because of its sporty look and its great gas mileage. I love the interior of this car it makes everything look even more sportier than it already is. For a four cylinder engine its pretty quick at accilerating and passing cars. I would highly recommend this car to anyone who wants a car that not only looks nice, but saves you $ in gas.
That's nice that you love your car; I want to get a corolla too I'll be getting the red corolla S.
Well I would reconsider ever getting a RED car of any kind. They are Police magnets. Seriously RED cars get pulled over more than any other color.
Toyotas may have the realiability and ease of use parts worked out, but they could really step it up a notch and make these cars a bit better than what they are. Right now, they're quite bland and boring.
(That being the reason I bought a VW Jetta. May not be as realiable, but sure is a lot more fun to drive and the 5speed stick... ohhh yeeaaahhh)
I will take bland & boring & reliablility over that Jetta anyday. They have way too many problems.
I bought a 2006 Corolla S (I call it maroon, rather than red). I absolutely love this car and I am going to keep it until the wheels fall off :)
Jetta's aren't bad when you buy smart. About 1/2 the people on here don't know the first thing about cars. You can't listen to them and their flawed logic.
I bought my 1998 for cheap. Put $300 worth into it in parts (I'm mechanically inclined so no labor costs) and I have a great car with all its usual problems fixed. Overall, I'm very satisfied for it being my first car.
I'd buy an older Toyota later in life if I needed a 2nd car for reliable transportation. They are just too bland and appeals to EVERYONE, which IMO is a bad thing. I like cars that are love/hate ones. However, Toyota reliability isn't all its cracked up to be nowadays, still pretty good, but they are going to follow in the footsteps of the big 3's downfall in the late 90's. What brands will take over after that? I don't know, but it scares me if its korean or chinese as I could not fathom owning one of those cars.
Jettas were good cars 20 years ago, but now they are nightmares. I am biased, of course, because I am the proud owner of a 2006 Corolla CE 5-speed. My last Corolla was a 1991 that I bought new, and was still goin' strong at 350,000 km. I sold it for $3000!!!
$3,000 for a 1991 Corolla with 350k miles on it? The buyer must've been a massive sheep for you to fleece them quite that much. How many sweaters did you make with all that wool?
WOW that's koo on how many coments my review got, but yea a red car does get pulled over a lot and sometimes its not worth it unless you don't speed or drink and drive you know, but I think you will get pulled if you drink in any car.. yeah jettas may be cuties to, but when it breaks down on you, you better still have a good warranty on it unless you want to sell a kidney to fix it... Me I still love my corolla I of course added some mods to the engine to make the horse power jump and I am planning this trip to LA to do my ultimate custom a sun ruff like the sion tC.. we can talk more about corollas for all the fans of them look me up on MYSPACE if you have one at memeandonlyme@msn.com PS don't email the email cuz I don't chk it ever...
I am glad you like your corolla. I have always been a honda girl and just bought a new car. I decided to look at toyota's and honda's. I do admit that I did give toyota's a chance, but I really prefer honda's I bought a 2006 Honda Civic EX and love my car!! Would recommend it to anyone. My mom loved it so much she bought herself one the next day!!
First of all, Toyota doesn't MAKE red Corollas. We wanted one, but they are not made in red. Just a really ugly maroon.
That's why we bought another brand. Corollas are basically designed (apparently) for older retired people, as they are only offered in really bland and boring colors and only as a 4-door. As for the police pulling over red cars, that is an urban myth. I've driven nothing, but red cars since 1988 and the only time I have been pulled over was when I was driving one of my other cars, which was pale blue.
First of all, Corollas are not for old people, I know lots of young people with a 2006 Corollas, and they love them, so rethink it.
Boring? Corolla? DEFINITELY!! Any bland, 4-door car that only comes in "old lady" colors is NOT a very exciting car. Maybe when I'm 80. For now I want something that doesn't have "I'm old" written all over it. Besides, for what Corollas sell for you can get a really nice, sporty car like the Mazda 3, Focus, Cobalt or Mustang. The Corolla is basically a great car for elderly people who can't afford a bigger car.
I saw three corollas or camrys whatever they are. All those fake "sporty" sedans with the lower body kit. All beige in color. It disgusted me greatly to see people settle for such boring appliances.
A boring car is still boring no matter how much plastic gook you stick on it. Toyota needs cars that look more sporty and appeal to people under 60.
