 Cons: It's noisy on the highway (probably due to limited interior insulation).   Pros: Extremely reliable; We bought it new in June, 2008 and now (Oct., 2015) are still driving it with over 132,000 miles. The only real repair, other than the wearables, (tires, brakes, etc.) has been a rear wheel hub replacement ($500. expense) which was necessary due to a bad internal sensor.  We found out later that a properly-inserted pipe cleaner might have cleaned off the dirty, not defective, sensor and eliminated even that repair expense.  We really like our Corolla and consider it to be our most dependable, and economical vehicle evr.  PS: We have been driving for 41 years and have had well over 20 vehicles in that time period.
