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

| 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. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Hyundai Sonata
| Price of the Hyundai Sonata: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Currently a good lease deal on the sport version with turbo. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very competitively priced. I saved $3000 when compared to a camry or accord with similiar features. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
0 |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Compared to the Accord or Camry, the Sonata cost considerably less even though it has a longer list of standard features. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Best car for the money. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Best bang for your $$$. Test drove comparable Accord and Camry and they were at least $2000 higher with less options. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Cheep car. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Always great incenstives. 0% financing or cash back. That combined with the low price to begin with, hard to beat. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Price is 2-5K lower for comperable competitors, Malibu, Toyota, etc |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Heavy dealer discounting gets you a fully loaded 6 cyl. Sonata Limited at the same price as a base 4 cyl. Accord or Camry. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This car currently has the lowest price point for a mid size car with the electronic stability control, front, side and curtain front and rear air bags all standard. A 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and 10 year 100,000 mile warranty too. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Its price was lower than comparable sedans for the features that the Sonata offers. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Cost less than the camry and in my mind just as good if not better |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Thousands less than the Camry |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
bought used, paid cash, cheap to own, excellent value |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
For Mid size car this was the best price |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I bought mine at a dealer auction, repo, 11270 miles, for ~ 60% of what a new one would have cost. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 234-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
For all of the standard features on the SE, such as V6, fog lights, 17in wheels, ESC, and side airbags, there is no greater value out there. I feel like I own a $30K car for only $20K. After the rebate, I was out less than some base model cars. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 234-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
3-$5000 cheaper then competitve offerings from Honda, Toyota and Nissan. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Many safety features (airbag, vehicle stability control) standard resulting in substantial savings |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 234-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Good discounts and excellent dealer combined to make this a great offer. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
cheap cheap cheap! |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
It was 5k less than an Accord, what else is there to add. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Really compared to its competitors |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
0% financing |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Best value in its class by far. Excellent price, drive a near-luxury car for less than $20k. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Price is low and you get ALOT |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Best value in class. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
best bang for buck, period. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
It met our budget at the time. |
| Price of the Hyundai Sonata: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Dealer was not willing to negotiate at all. Such is often the problem with a brand new model that is high in demand. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Too expensive for what they represent (cheap and low class) |
