My poor S was totalled last week....trying to decide if I should get another. I had it for 13 months. Mixed driving I usually got around 34...mostly highway I would get around 40. I miss my car and have to buy a new one soon, although no dealer seems to be able to find "my" car, ABS/Sidecurtain etc. |

| Whoops...forgot to say that I had 13600 miles on my car (used it to commute). | |
I purchased a 2005 Corolla S automatic with expectations of getting good gas mileage. I started out getting about 33 on the highway and 26 in the city. With only 4000 miles on the car and primarily city driving, I am now getting about 20 in the city. I am confused and somewhat upset. My husband's Highlander is getting close to 20 in the city.

Hi- I am in the market for a new car. I am particularly interested inMazda 3, Honda Civic, and Toyota corolla. I am having a hard time finding 5 speeds and one of the toyota dealers I visited told me that the automatic corollas actually get better MPG than the 5 speeds do. Oh by the way he only had automatic corollas on the lot. He was incorrect wasn't he?

Replying to: nfriday (Oct 30, 2005 5:18 pm) The salesman was probably lying, but maybe just mistaken. Some automatics do get better mileage than the same car with a stick. It just has to do with the gearing of the final drive ratio.

Still get about 700,000 km on a 40L full tank. Driven at over 70+ mph most of the time. Change the oil every 4,000 miles or so. Just a beautiful dependable car. I can't believe it, but is still have all the original exhaust system parts. Haven't had to change the muffler yet. This car is like the energizer bunny. It keeps going and going and going..... I wish women were as dependable as this car is. |
