I have to say, I have an '02 Corolla and compared to all my other cars (2 BMW's, a Bentley and a Range Rover, the Corolla was my first ever car and I just couldn't sell it so that's why I have it if you were wondering why in the world I did) it's not so bad! So my family and I have been pretty loyal to Toyota and my mom VERY rudely bought the '09 Corolla RIGHT after I bought her a BMW convertible, but that's another story, and I've driven it and it's a great car. The Civic is too small and the engine is wimpy, the Mazda 3 is fun to drive but very small and a piece of crap, and everything else it's in class just doesn't compare to the Corolla. Out of a scale of 1-10 that's as honest as can be, I would really give it a 9.5. It's a great car and you will like it!
