Detailed review: |
I've had my Corolla LE for 2 years now. My only complaint is the engine noise. Extremely loud when accelerating. Every one who drives my car always comments, 'Wow, this takes off like a rocket!' which it does. However, it drops off quite a bit when you hit 45-50 mph and sometimes sluggish when you need to pass on a hill. Turning off the Overdrive solves that problem. I love the interior. It looks expensive. I have the cream colored cloth seats, and the faux wood grain on the dash is very stylish. The tires dropped off very quickly and the stereo isn't that great. Lots of room for passengers and on a 2000 mile road trip, the gas mileage and comfort were excellent. I was really unimpressed with the Honda Civic I test drove. It didn't even compare. Very tinny and every bump you hit, you felt. I would definitely recommend the Corolla. |
