Replying to: aviboy97 (Jan 15, 2008 10:06 am) I believe you re Mazda including the CX-7 in their marketing event. The Mazda marketeers must have thought that "honorable mention" was close enough for horseshoes, or selling cars. Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Jan 17, 2008 3:21 pm)

#739 of 879 Reliability Issues on the Corolla by zzoomp09 Apr 09, 2008 (7:49 pm)
http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2008-04-09-toyota-recall_N.htm   There goes the so called reliability of Toyota Corollas. IMO, all these 3 cars are reliable, but they still have their own issues here and there. In my experience with these 3 cars, I never had really big problems, but I enjoyed the 3 out of all of them.

Replying to: zzoomp09 (Apr 09, 2008 7:49 pm) Recalls are not a judge on reliability, but rather quality control and safety hazards. Toyota has had more then their fair share of recalls in recent years. It sure does look bad.
#743 of 879 Looking at these 3 cars by jjanders Apr 30, 2008 (11:20 am)
Just bumping this thread as I am currently debating between:   2009 Corolla LE 2009 Mazda 3 i Touring Value 2008 Honda Civic LX   Corolla has VSC, good mileage, quiet, smooth ride, a little boring but that's fine for me as I'm looking for a comfortable commuter. Also has 0% (at least I hope it's extended through May)   Honda has good mileage, best exterior (IMO), but not sure how I feel about two tiered dash though.   Mazda is the sportiest of the bunch but terrible mileage for automatic, 4 year old model (though it does still look pretty good), higher insurance.   It seems both Honda and Toyota have slipped a bit in quality lately, lots of build quality issues with 8th gen Civic. Corolla is new and I'm usually wary about buying first model year cars, though no big problems have popped up yet.   Tough choice, I am thinking of going with the Corolla if they have 0% in May.

Replying to: jjanders (Apr 30, 2008 11:20 am) My wife and I have shopped the Civics and Corollla's until we are exhausted. The 0% financing on the Corolla really peaked our interest. We initially like the Corolla LE but then saw an XLE and we loved that model. Really liked the traction control on the Corolla but know that the Civic will be getting this in this year's update. The only thing about the Corolla we did not particularly like was the steer by wire feature. When the steering wheel comes back to dead center it takes a little effort on the driver's part to bring it back to center. Also on the highway the car tends to drift a little because of the steering-that is okay once the driver becomes familiar with the tendencies of the drive by wire setup.   The Civic is nice but we also had reservations about the digital speedometer so high up on the dash. We did not particularly like the upholstery on the LX model but did the EX model.   Hard decision.   Hope you enjoy whatever you pick.   FYI, we are still on the fence and were hoping for some manufacturer help on the Civic with respect to finances. I know I am dreaming.   Brad Replies to this message: bits4brains (May 02, 2008 4:27 am)
#745 of 879 Honda/Toyota low APR by jjanders May 01, 2008 (8:22 am)
Well, the local Honda dealership called me today since I had told them I was waiting for special financing....Honda is having 2.9% for the month of May.   Toyota has also extended it's 0%/1.9%/2.9% through 6/2 as well.   Definitely pulling the trigger this month to take advantage of low financing, now I just need to decide between the two cars!

Replying to: jjanders (Apr 30, 2008 11:20 am) I'd rank them as follows:   1. Mazda 2. Honda 3. Toyota   All three are good cars, but I place a premium on performance and driving enjoyment. I also detest slushboxes. Between the Honda and Toyota I'd go with the Honda, only because I find almost all current Toyotas to be bland transportation appliances. That said, you are the one who's going to be driving it, so pick the one that makes YOU smile... Replies to this message: nvbanker (May 03, 2008 1:40 pm)
