2011 4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I bought pre owned and I couldn't find another brand SUV with the same features for the same price. Definitely a fan of the low price.
2011 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Incentives are enticing 0% financing and very competitive lease options
2011 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 For the price, you get a very well made car
2011 4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Very competitive pricing compared to like size and equipped vehicles.
2008 4dr SUV turbocharged 168hp 2.5L I4 Diesel
5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Our year old range topping Sorento XT auto cost £17000. The eqivalent VW, Audi, Land Rover etc start at £30000+ for the base models.
2007 4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.8L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 For a 4wd with pretty much every option and being a 07 left over paying $20K for it was a pretty sweet deal.
2005 4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Best price for what you get on the market today. EX model 4x4 for 25K. No other manufacturer can match it.
2003 4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic AWD w/low range		 Because of the relatively rapid depreciation, it is a great value as a used car.

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr SUV 191-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Not a terribly expensive vehicle, and a good value, but in comparison to the Dodge would be significantly more expensive to get anything close to the feature set the AVP Journey has

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Toyota Corolla

Price of the Toyota Corolla: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 The payment on the car is less than 300 a month for a nicely equipped car.
2010 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 The Corolla provides a lot of "bang for the buck" in my mind. It has all the things I need in a car, all the things I wanted in a car, and even a few minor fun "bells and whistles" for good measure - all at a price I can afford easily.
2009 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Decided to go with Corolla because it was several thousand cheaper over civic for similar features.
2009 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 I felt this car was reasonable price for its class.
2008 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Low interest rate on lease payments. Reasonably priced car while well equipped.
2007 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 we got a pretty good price (before tax,tags and title fees) from a ford dealership. Bought in 2010, it was a used 2007 model.
2007 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Low payments and priced right, it seems that newer corollas can be had for what you would have paid for a new vehicle 2 or 3 years earlier.
2007 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 I only took the automatic transmission option and it was one of the cheapest. Interest rate was only at 1.7% for me.
2006 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Great pricing, easy financing
2006 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Paid $14,500
2005 4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Purchased new, well-equipped for the market segment for 15k. Very competitive pricing relative to lesser known (by me) brands.
2005 4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 It was what I felt I could afford at the time I had to replace my 1995 Saturn SL1.
2003 4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 low price
2003 4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 A/C, power window, power door lock, ABS, side airbag, rear spoiler, alloy wheel, 6 speakers, remote keyless entry, and more for $16,000 brand new.
Price of the Toyota Corolla: Cons

2010 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 This may just be a little quirk with me/my location but I could not find it cheaper used anywhere in Texas. I guess on the other side though, it was one of the cheaper Pre-Owned Certified vehicles I was trying to find. Another one was a 2011 Honda Fit asking was 15k but had 40k miles for example. I bought this one for 13.7k (full bumper to bumper coverage for next 4 years) so you can't be too sure.
2009 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Its expensive compared to Sentra, Elantra and Lancer, while providing the same or less features. Also mainteinance is expensive but is because the brand, not the car.
2009 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 More expensive than a Focus (but more car, too, and better resale value for sure).
2008 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Not as much of a bargain for what you get and the payments were too high for a boring daily-driver.
2005 4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 sort of upmarket cost for a dinky little eonobox with crappy handling. But I guess you pay for the fact that it will biodegrade before it will wear out.
