    I'm not going to walk 7 miles to the grocery store. Here in the country, the main purpose of a car IS to get from one place to another. We are considering a new Corolla later this year and I've heard mostly good things about this car in terms of function and reliability. I've also heard minor complaints like it doesn't look sexy or the acceleration is tepid, 0 to 60 in about 8 seconds, but what do I care, I'm not entering any races or car shows. What I want out of a car is two things, affordability and reliability and a Corolla gives you both. Sure, it's not as cool looking as a Mustang but lasting 30 years without major repairs is also pretty cool. It's a choice and I choose affordability and reliability. Thanks for confirming this for me Scotty.

      I'm retired and after decades of buying Chevys and Fords, my friend and Scotty here convinced me to buy a 2016 Toyota Camry le with only 56k miles. Paid $15,494 out the door for $17,347. Not new but looks and rides new. At 56k miles it was affordable and the CARFAX showed it was well maintained. I suggest shopping and comparing price online to narrow down choices and save you from wandering all over trying to find a great deal. 😊

I use landmarks to get around so I don't know street names or locations otherwise. I always wanted adaptive cruise control since I bought my first car, no idea why. I do quite like alloy wheels however. The rest of that I'd pass on though no question not necessary for me in reality.
      My car has none of that, including the specifications I'd prefer. It's from 2008, and I keep having to sink $1000's into it ever increasingly. I dislike non Japanese cars in general. Never had an issue with my car until recent years., Sadly I own a Jetta from 2008. I've sunk more than 6x it's current value into repairs in the past 1.5 years so far. Despite the lack of issues before recently. I can't afford to buy a newer car for a long time still. I only really like the Mazda's now from what I've seen anyway.

    Love sunroofs cuz heat rises so if you just open/tilt that and crack a side window it lifts the heat out! Cuz just cracking 2 side windows isn’t as effect since wind doesn’t constantly blow sideways and when it does the heat circles the car before exiting. If it’s a short breeze then not much heat will exit
    Compared to sunroof and heat going out rising naturally

      Most reliable car is actually Toyota Hybrids based on 2.5L engine. They go into Camry, RAV4, Highlander and Sienna. But you need hybri as it comes with planetary indestructable transmission. Do not buy regular gas models as they all come with traditional 8 speed automatic, which is good but nowhere near planetary transmission of hybrids.

    If there's room in the wheel arches you can use slightly higher profile tyres without any major problems. The speedo will be slightly off but as long as you know that it's not an issue. Also you are essentially gearing up the whole car so acceleration will be reduced but gas mileage will improve slightly & you get an old fashioned hot rod type look & a much improved ride.
    Weirdly higher profile tyres are often cheaper as well, I thought more rubber more money but apparently not

These smaller cars with 17"-19" tires are unacceptable for driving on real, pothole filled roads. I like most people have never been to a race track. So those paper thin, heavy, over sized wheel/tires are not beneficial to the everyday driver. Especially if the tires are those deadly run flats
