 If you want quality, reliability, safety, and economy, buy a Corolla.  This car drives and feels more expensive than it is.  The engine is so smooth.  In the past, I shifted when it felt right, or when the engine sounded ready.  I can't do that now, because it is too quiet and smooth.  Two complaints:  1) The stereo sound quality is poor. 2)If I adjust the seat so that my legs are comfortable, I have to stretch my arms to reach the wheel.  The seating position is too high, also. I am still very pleased with my purchase.  And I know it will last forever.
