Corona? Never liked the stuff. I'm more of a cognac drinker. Anyone know what this guy is talking about?

The only problem is that we may already be at the inevitable point where foreign cars will be the only choice. Hopefully they will at least be built in this country. They are fine, well built economical cars of high quality and workmanship with long Warrentees. The dealers know their product lines and want to sell cars. A hard combo to beat on the domestic scene. The tunnel vision gutless clowns in this country are still sound asleep as their businesses are going belly up. Sorry, :soap: just disappointed as can be with what has happened over the past 50 years I have been driving american iron. Dennis

No personal experience here; but if volume is any indicator ... it must be pretty decent. ;) It seems like it is the car of choice for commuting in the Northern Virginia area. More and more Corolla and Corolla S drivers are showing up every day. Now if we can only keep 'em out of the left lane. :rolleyes:

Heard they use to much soy sauce.

Are you aware this is mercurymarauder.net? ;)

A coworker of mine has gone through two of them over the last 3 years of our 'road work'. The first two were leases, and he bought the third. Averaging 27k a year in travel milage, he made out on fuel economy, and had nothing warranty wise to speak of. It made my Vic's 22mpg feel like a gas guzzler in comparison.

The only 'issue' as you put it, that I noticed, and should likely be brought to light...

When I rode in it, or watched him drive off....
He, we....I ....look like a fag behind the wheel of it.

Just as folks look at us in a Marauder, they will look at him in this tiny little car.

Aside from making the driver appear queer...the car does little more as a failure than that unjust deed.

Buy it. Look queer. Enjoy the economics.

Barry,
You should be an ad writer for a US car manufacturer. :D

[Thomas C Potter]

Such high quality replies !!

[RoyLPita]

I never see anyone drive a Corolla with a smile on their face. All I see drive them are very fat women who fit like Sherman Klump in the Viper. When they are traded in, the Haitians get them. Then you hear them go around corners and rattle my fillings out from the CV joints crackling.

Have you noticed that people in Chicago with 6666 posts cannot even pronounce the name correctly?! :lol:

[SergntMac]

Such high quality replies !! Whoa...What did you ask of members at a Marauder site? From Marauder-minded owners?

You want "Consumer Reports" like replies? Go ask Consumer Reports!

Dude...I know our "Lounge" area is (arrgh, ahem) "for off-Marauder" topics, (hack, cough) therefore somewhat "open and free" like late '60s sex. But, don't ask for our advice on DVD players, microwaves, "does this make me look fat", or, Crayolas. There IS a limit...Eh?

If you're pizzed right now, I apologize. I started it with the first wize azzed reply. But, it was your question...Right? I apologize for the...(Ahem) "mud" but, you took the first step into it...

My friend has a Corrolla, rather my ex-friend but I won't get into why I don't talk to him any more, cough stoner, cough.... I've driven it, its slow, noisy, handels okay and has a super cheap interior with lots of parts, like the storage bins that are extremely flimsy and snap very easily. I suggest a look at the Chevy Cobalt or a Mazda 3. That's just me. Pretty much what Roy said is right. A lot of kids get them as first cars too. But if I were getting a compact, it is NOT what I'd spring for.

If you take out the spare tire, it'll fit in the trunk.

Isn't that the Japense word for "turd" ?
