| Price of the Toyota Corolla: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 SUV 187-horsepower 2.7L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | We were able to get a new Highlander for much less money than a Honda Pilot and still get all the features we desired (larger than a Rav4/CRV, >20 MPG city, leather, and full compliment of air bags/antilock/traction control) |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 155-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | I got it for a good price making it an easy decsision to purchase |
| Price of the Toyota Highlander: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Felt some options missing for $38K vehicle such as memory settings, more detailed tire monitoring |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | VW was offering a sizeable discount on the Routan, a similar Highlander was from 8 to 10K more |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | you pay for the reputation. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | More expensive then Pathfinder for same year and higher milage vehicles. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Because you had to purchase features you did not want, the vehicle was much more pricey than others with the same features. They charged a premium for basic features included with other makes of cars. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Over priced because was new model at time I was looking. Configured with unwanted trim and features vs competition. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD | I paid full MSRP. |

| 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 |
Very nice inside, not luxury but def comfortable. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Even after 190K km, the Corolla still feels tight and well made. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Toyota Corolla: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |

| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Trim and fit is well executed. Controls are well positioned for easy reach and intuitive use. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Fit and finish are first rate. Paint jobis exceptional. Leather seats are sturdy and should hold up under rough usage. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 215-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Will hold up over time; easy to keep clean and looking new |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD |
Toyota quality is there to to bottom. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Toyota, made in Japan. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 215-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Typical great Toyota craftsmanship. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Fit and finish is great; no indication of rust anywhere after 6 years; |

| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The "leather" or whatever it was on the seats seemed hard and uninviting. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
A lot of poor interior materials - headliner, hard plastics on dash, some key controls (door locks, mirror adjustment) unlit at night |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
looks cheap inside. |
