    Why Did You Buy A Toyota Corolla?

    It began with my father, who bought a 2001 Corolla - no problems @ 250k km and still going. My older sister then got a 199__? Corolla - again, no problems, also high mileage. Very reliable. Father gave his '01 to my younger sister this summer, and bought a gently used 2013 - lot's of room...

    Study Says: For Cleaner Air, Set Your Vents to "Recirculate"

    So if your car is full 'o people, and you have Recirculate on, then at some point you'll all Pass Out from carbon monoxide poisoning, breathing in each other's exhaust fumes, and your Rolla will happily find itself going off-road or worse yet, into on-coming traffic, and then your Rolla will be...

    New (to me) 2010 Corolla XRS

    Woohoo! I'm picking up a 2010 Corolla XRS 5MT, this Friday. It's black and beautiful :D Trading in a 2012 Focus SE -it's just too small for me, and the Corolla fits just right. The XRS has pretty much all I need and want. Great handling and decent power when needed. We just picked up a...

    Best Time to Buy a Corolla

    Totally agree here. ...also, don't be afraid to walk out that door, if they won't give you something off the price, or include something with your purchase. No one is forcing you to take the deal. You be in control, otherwise they have you. Choosing something that is in-stock will give you...

    Newbie / 11th gen Corolla

    Hi all We're picking up our new 2014 Corolla S w CVT later this week. As soon as I sat in it and then drove it, I was hooked. Nice vehicle. Plenty of room, which is great, and the engine does what it needs to do. It is plenty perky. Love the layout of everything, and the seats are very...

    Thinking of Buying a Corolla

    Test drive both and then decide. I had a similar experience and went with the Corolla. For me, the C has much more room, is much more comfortable, has a nice set of gauges, etc. I don't like the two-tiered dash on the Civic, and there isn't a whole lot of room.
