2006 Toyota Corolla Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by JackTripper

Fuel economy

The Corolla has nearly identical fuel economy of the smaller Echo/Yaris

Brand reputation & image

Toyota well known for quality and reliability

Color choices

After driving around for months, seeing how well different colors age on cars, i knew i wanted a dark grey car.

Materials & workmanship

The interior has a quality sturdy feel, with no loose or hollow plastic moldings that i've seen on other cars.

Feature availability

This was my first car with an air conditioner; i really wanted one, and i use it all the time.

Front seat room

At 6'2" there is no leftover room, even with the driver's seat all the way back.

Driving position & visibility

The rear pillars make it very difficult to see while reversing.

Audio & nav systems

The sound system had no capability to handle USB storage, or an MP3 player. Had to install aftermarket stereo.
