If you have ever felt cursed with cars like I have; meaning that every car you touch dies!!! Then this is the car for you. I have never met a car like this one. Every car I bought in the past has always broke down on me, even if it was borrowed. I was told by a family member that Toyota Corollas don't know when to quit. They had told me that you can drive the life out of them. I now know this is true. I had my car for 3 years and has never quit on me yet. The sway bar was cracked and the struts were shot; along with the alignment way out of whack, and she still kept truckin'... I have taken this car from Nova Scotia to Ontario and back with one oil change and only cost me $150 in gas each way. These cars are extremely reliable and very easy to handle in the snow; with the right winter tires. My car in particular drove 532km on a single tank of gas. I love my car and would definitely buy the latest model if I could. The only other car that would make me part with this one is a Ford Mustang. They got POWER!!!
