I owned a Toyota Corolla LE for 5 Years. I bought it because a friend of mine who is a mechanic recommended it to me.
He also has two toyota's in his house , an older celica and a corolla and as independent mechanic he always says that Toyotas are the most reliable cars.

I bought my car with five years of used and with a clean record. I have ridden it for it for 5 more years and have never had a single problem with it. The only visits I have done to the mechanic is for the periodical oil, tires and break pads changes.

I have own other cars before: Honda, Chevy, Cadillac and Ford and non of them has been as reliable as the Toyota Corolla.
