| Price of the Toyota Corolla: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 | I only took the automatic transmission option and it was one of the cheapest. Interest rate was only at 1.7% for me. |
| 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. |
| 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 | 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. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD | low price |

| 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. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Probably mostly due to the economy tanking, and car dealerships wanting to move product, I got a very good deal on this car. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD | I bought it via internet shopping-the only way to go. Got a great price & saved more w/refi. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.3L I4 6-speed manual FWD | Approx $3500AUD less than comparable Toyota Camry with similar features. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual AWD | Picked mine up pre-owned with 17k on the clock and about 3 years old. As a used car, it is hard to find a better bargain for what it offers. Cost thousands less than any Evo, Sti, or R32 I could find on the market. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual AWD | I bought as a 2006 leftover when the 2007 MY was already available. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD | It fit my budget. What else are you supposed to put here? |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon 215-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | I got an excellent deal on my Mazda6, about $800-$1000 less than a comparable car with similar equipment. |
| 2004 | 4dr Wagon 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Was going to buy a 2004 with $4000 model year-end rebate |
| Price of the Mazda Mazda6: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2014 | 4dr Sedan 184-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Extras added up quickly, but you get what you pay for. No special MSRP discounts from Mazda, as the car has only been out for a short time this year. Toyota and Honda were offering better discounts. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | More expensive than Malibu with fewer features. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | The price changed between our phone conversation and my visit to the dealer. |

| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
For an entry level car it seems put together well. No noises indicating loose parts, no odd rattles, every window seam was solidly affixed. A lot of little things that wear quickly or look poorly installed were not present in the Corolla. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
No problem so far. I use the car daily for work commute and then to carry two kids around. gave it a good clean up last week, look as good as new. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
No rattles, good fit, good materials |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The interior seemed to be made of high quality expensive looking materils that fit mostly well together, I did have to have dealer repair a couple panels that did not fit as well together as most of the other trim pieces did |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The interior has a quality sturdy feel, with no loose or hollow plastic moldings that i've seen on other cars. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Again, very high quality and very durable. I've put 70,000 km's on it over 4 years and it still looks good inside and out. Nothing a good vacuum and polish can't clean up. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Fit and finish are very good both interior and exterior. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Even after 190K km, the Corolla still feels tight and well made. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Very nice inside, not luxury but def comfortable. |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Interior is full of cheap rubbermaid plastics that are ultra hard and creaky. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Poorly designed new engine has mechanical noises when started and runs rough when first started. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Interior was not as well finished as the Sentra and materials seemed cheaper |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Possible this is only my Corolla, but the exterior seems to be falling apart, roof trim peels, dash rattles, rear bumper cover is always loose. Speedo off by 5-10%, braking clunks. Dealership says this is normal. Toyota has let me down. Have owned 2.5 |

| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent paint and precise panel fits (better than the 2010 Honda Accord I previously owned). The doors close with a dull, Teutonic thunk. Inside, fit and finish is very good with generally good materials. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
There are no cheap materials in this car; interior AND exterior. The vehicle is solid; no rattling noises. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
I was surprised by the interior finish, actually a nice place to be. Cabin is comfortable, even on long road trips. Interior plastics do not have cheap feel and fitment is on par with an Acura sedan. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
Fit and finish was better than any car I have ever owned. In about 25K miles of ownership, I did not have one thing break, fall off, or come unstuck. The car was built in Hiroshima, Japan (not in the US). |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed manual FWD |
No rattles, well screwed together |

| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Some of the plastics are cheap hard plastic. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Too many small rattles and little problems. Granted this was the first year model run, but the quality control needs to be upgraded. Dealer and manufacturer support has been the best! |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
The interior just feels too cheap - especially for a car with MSRP of over $30000. |
| 2004 | 4dr Wagon 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Interior materials not up to standards of Honda or Toyota |
| 2004 | 4dr Wagon 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Inferior quality of interior plastics used. Persistent (and irritating) squeaking and rattling noises from steering column and dashboard. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Too much hard plastic. Fit/finish was just OK. |
