 My Corolla has been an excellent 
commuter car - great gas mileage (close 
to 30 around town), easy to drive, and 
even a little peppy when you need it.  
For the 5 years my wife and I have 
driven it we've had no problems with 
it.  Although it can be sluggish when 
it's loaded down.  When my wife and I 
switched cars, my Camry for her 
Corrolla, I had to get use the less leg 
room and foot room.
