Because Toyota's fabled build quality means a Corolla owner can expecta long and typically trouble-free service life, you can expect the ownership
experience to be a very satisfactory one. This fact offsets the car's modestly
higher sticker price, and it's further reduced by a $400 factory value-package
discount, right on the sticker, for a group of the most popular options.
There is less expensive competition out there, and more stylish, too,
but there are the usual trade-offs; less-expensive may mean less equipment,
ultrafashionable design might mean less interior room. The Corolla is a
good compromise. You'll discover a well-made, fun-to-drive little four-door
that will provide many years of service--and then your child can take it
away to college.
