| 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. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Pontiac Vibe
| Price of the Pontiac Vibe: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Discontinued brand(Pontiac) & model(Vibe) that had been discounted. |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | 0% 60mths, $800cad grad discount, and another $2000cad off on top of that. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD | At $6,000 less than the Toyota Matrix, it is a TRUE bargain. After all, it is essentially the same vehicle with a Pontiac badge on it. |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | GM was willing to cut a great deal! |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Basically the same car as the Matrix, but for you get much better options for significantly less money. Overall price quite reasonable. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | With the brand now gone, dealers are giving these things away. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | It was affordable (I bought it used) and still had the space I needed. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD | A new Vibe is dirt cheap these days; great value for the money...a used Vibe is an even better bargain. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | My Vibe Base was priced less than a comparably equipped Toyota Matrix XR at the time I bought mine. |
| Price of the Pontiac Vibe: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | I thought the Vibe was overpriced. I only made the purchase when GM offered the 2009 at the same price as the 2006-7, with added safety features now standard. |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Overall, I think the Vibe is overpriced. But then so is every other car on the market. That is what happen when the government bails out private companies when they make poor business decisions. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 180-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD | The Vibe GT would have cost far more than the Protege5. |

What Our Members Are Saying about Toyota Corolla Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Toyota Corolla: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |

| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Feels solid - well built |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Pontiac Vibe: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Everything felt cheap - interior was especially weak. Too much cheap plastic. |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
workmanship a+++ but interior plastic will scratch if dinged. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Some fit and finish issues such as trim that came off (not covered under warranty) and radio buttons that lost labels. |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
A couple of plastic pieces did not fit together too well and when I heard a buzzing, pushing on them made it stop. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
There are some small but noticable rattles and clicks that indicate some loose construction of some of the dash and door pieces. Nothing loud, but I notice them. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Lots of minor things had to be fixed on warranty (loose wires, rattles, etc.)...the usual complaints that have plagued the Big 3 over the years. No major concerns or deal-breakers though. |
