Reliability and dealer service. Price is a factor. Excellent car for the price.

Not enough space in the back, tires are a joke, does not handle well in rain. Not a very good car for a high-skool student, something i could see a grandmother in. But whatever......

Nice car, good product for the price. Smooth reliable car. This car will never die on you. Toyota service is overpriced but excellent. Things get done the away you want it. They actually know how to fix every problem. Opposed to Chrysler. . They can't fix their own car's.

Very reliable. Very agile for a car like this, great visibility. Pretty nice seats too. Great transmission and fairly quick for a 1.6L engine.

Even the hi-end stereo isn't any good. Only 3-spd automatic transmission offered, makes it loud at highway speeds.

Very good at what it does (gets you from point A to point B), but other then that, a pretty boring car. If you're looking for a reliable daily driver, this is one of the best.

Honda Civic. I liked the civic better, but I got a good deal on this car.

Looks, awesome acceleration with the 4.0L 6-cylinder. Good ground clearance, easy to buy aftermarket accessories for it. Really good off-road. Handles corners well. Good gas mileage compared to other comparable engines. Jeeps hold their value well.

The ride's a little bouncy. The back seat won't stop squeaking.

I bought it for $5650 in 2000 and I love it so far. I would recommend it for anybody.

Chevy S10 4x4 pickup--The Jeep has better acceleration and handling around corners, and more ground clearance.

Damn quick, believe it or not, for a economy car (beats civics)
the 1.8 engine for 93/94 is faster than 2000 in my opinion, 115lb@2800rpm vs. 120lb@4600rpm. it sure felt faster than my cousins 2000 LE
Very, very smooth ride
Autotranmission is superb
Grippy brakes
LOW MANTENANCE!

Rear leg room kinda low
No road feel (good to some, bad to some)
Understeer
Steering slightly heavier than Honda's
Less resale value than civics, but you wouldn't want to sell your corolla anyways.

Its kinda like a poor man's Lexus,no, really.
i bought it used in 1994 w/ 25000 miles on it. Now it has 91k miles and I've just recently replaced belts and a couple of fluids for the first time! It's been running PERFECT. Just change the oil everytime 3000miles and you'll have an excellent running car.

I have been very satisfied with my Corolla (which i have nicknamed "TOYO")The detailing in the interior is beautiful as i got the rarely seen wooden interior.It drives very well has ample space for my needs and is smart looking on the outside too.It does very well on gas. the AC and heat work excellently! one of it's admirable qualities is that on teh highway the sound is mimimal and the drive comfortable. I feel totally comfortable and safe every time i drive my "Toyo" and will recommend it to anyone.I find all the alarms and reminders great as i cannot ever leave my car with the lights on ect.I would not recommend it for large families.It is a good 2 person car as space is limited.

I would have liked more leg room in the back .
Unfortunately the car i find, does not handle well in the rain and tends to skid.

I payed 17,000 for my car - well worth the price.I would recommend it highly.

it is far beyond it's competitors in style and economy.

I like everything about it. very quiet car compare to my chevorlett corsica. Get the manual transmission, it accel much faster.

I think the Honda civic interior is better. I miss the elbow rest :( .

I paid 17,700 for the LE with all the packages. I could of gotten a faster, more hp car but I dont' need it, saves alot on gas and insurance. Corolla will last for a while.
I bought the car on the first dealer I went to. It's a great car.

Needs 15 more HP, Does not handle well in rain

I am completely satisfied with this car. I paid $13,200 for it and got all the options I wanted. It gets great mileage(40 HYW) and has had no problems. The car is not flashy or exciting, but I would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting bullet-proof transportation.

Low Maintenance! I've done regular oil changes, etc - and this vehicle has been the most dependable car I've ever owned. Currently up to 158,000 miles, and the only thing that's gone wrong with it is the alternator. Great turning radius - can U-turn/park anywhere with ease. Excellent overdrive for getting on the freeway. Good AC/heater, too (important here in Texas!).

It does have a tendency to slide a bit in wet weather - different tires would probably correct that. Wimpy sounding horn - no one takes it seriously.

Paid $12,000 used (1 yr old).

Lots of value and reliability. It's compact and easy to park. It actually handles pretty well, although acceleration isn't the best.

-It doesn't feel very safe sometimes, but I think I drive more carefully to compensate. Probably overall, I'm almost as safe as someone recklessly driving a car with tons of safety features.

-The tires that originally came with the car sucked - I hyrdoplaned and did a 360 on a wet freeway. I immediately purchased Aquatreads and stopped speeding in the rain.

I've had my Corolla for 7 years now, driven it for around 65,000 miles. I've probably put around $800 total in unexpected repairs. It's really held up well, despite not being garaged or anything. The car still looks great and drives great.

This Car has been very reliable. Since 1993, we only been to one or two maintainance but this car always started when the ignition was turned. The comfort was execellent even on a fabric chairs instead of the leather.

The engine power is poor. I hate the fact that my friends who own a integra, civic, or eclipse always tease me about my cars' power and I gotta agree with them. Also there just aren't any body kits that fits my car. If there is one, it doesn't look good at all.

I paid 15,000 for my car when I bought it new. I guess I would recommend it to thoughs of you who likes slow, quiet, reliable types, but I would completely stand against for thoughs of you who like your cars turboCharged, expended, and screaming with power.
