I still love my Corolla...do you?

Now a days it seems like there are so many problems with everyones corolla. heck, even I've had my small share of problems. But, even after having my CEL (Check Engine Light) come on after 4k miles, rough shift from park to reverse, getting sometimes horrible gas milage, and a miriad of random things falling off the car, I still love it. Am I crazy, or does the car have some character. I like cars that are just a little different. I may be a little but I absolutely love my car. I just want to see if I'm the only person who still loves it.

I don't think that many people are having problems with it. I haven't heard of any serious issues. The build quality on my Corolla is exceptionally high. It does have a rattle or two...which need to be fixed...but no car is perfect.

I bought the Corolla almost begrudgingly...having turned my nose at Toyota's in the past. But I found it was a good car and a good buy. I like it more and more.

no regrets here... +9,000km and still happy as a clam

SOOO happy I didn't get a Mazda3GT or a Saturn AstraXR.
My new fav thing about my corolla is how nice the HeadLight "Cut Line" with Stock's. Perfectly Straight Across.

Other than blowing a tire on a pothole, and a plastic underbody panel coming off on the Interstate (covered by dealer). I've had no issues with this car at all.

I do like the car, alot. Yes I do know that some complain about the drive and throttle by wire. But I got used to them. Would I recommend the 'rolla to family and friends? Yes, without hesitation, just not the metallic gray, that one is mine.

I still love my 2009 corolla le.
I'm getting as low as 33 mph and as high as 38 mpg.
The quality so far is excellent - no problems
Steering kinda twitchy at high speed.

I haven't even noticed the drive by wire throttle system. It seems very responsive to me.

The XRS is a joy to drive...I wish it had independent rear suspension but that aside it handles beautifully.

=====================================
I find the older I get, my needs at the pump have changed. I miss my Mini Coooper BUT, I like filling it up and watching the gas guage "drift" down instead of rocket down. I have been a happy camper since buying the Corolla in June....let the other guys worry==========================

Was the Cooper fun? SURE WAS!!!!...but having a bunch of xtra cash is more fun!! SO IF A HURRICANE HITS, I will feel badly, but not as bad as if it hit me! We have enough trouble with E-Quakes!!!!!

I do.

I like everything about it, and when I go to the pumps it makes me smile again.

I love mine too. Just as I expected it to be. Economical, reliable, comfortable. No surprises.
Still figuring out how to use the auto climate control without using the air-con.
Learning and adjusting as in newly wed.

Just wish they had made the rear lip out of a single piece rather than 2. Other than that. Was happy since Day 1.
