2008 Toyota Corolla 4dr Sedan

126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD

21080 mi no repairs, though there is an issue with the front brakes. After changing direction and braking, the brakes make banging noises. The service rep said it was OK - due to larger calipers. I let it go, but the next time I'll have them fix it.
