Best selling car in the world. That's all I really know about Corollas.

I rent them frequently. I think they are the stereotypical generic Japanese sedan, and not particularly competitive relative to the newer American and Korean compacts. They are actually pretty uncomfortable....but they get very good mileage and are almost certainly reliable and trouble-free if maintained.

The new ones have strange styling but a nicer interior.

Honestly would not be my first choice in that segment. Probably not my second or third either.

Change the oil regularly and it will run for 200K+ miles

Good car you can get for cheap and will last a loooong time with very low maintenance.

If you have a small pecker and need a big and/or expensive car to make up for it, it's not the car for you.

I used to get caught behind old people in Buicks. Now I get caught behind old people in Corollas.

I had a 1994, sold it in 2001. Great car. Damned dependable and cheap to own.

got an '03 with 175,000 miles on it. still running good, just the normal maintenance.

the 1 con is it is slow as shite. little engine, but thats why it gets good gas mileage.

cant go wrong

Pros: Good value, reliable, and low gas mileage

Cons: Small, uncomfortable cabin and weak engine/acceleration

The 2014 Corollas have a pretty nice looking exterior. Do NOT get a 2013 corolla. My dad has one ad it has the worst acceleration of any car I've ever seen.

Noticed a brand new one today at a light. Besides being one of the most dependable on tbe road the new style looks pretty good.

Old people cars:

Grand Marquis.
Buicks (but not Enclave).
Pickup truck, but only if it has full bed cap.
Older Camry.

Bought one new in 2010 to drive back and forth to work because it was almost the same price as a used one. So far I've had zero problems and just about to hit 100k
