Love my Toyota!!
 2009 Toyota corolla LE, I bought in 2012 with only $23k miles on it for $11K. I have done regular maintenance, never miss oil changes, taken for all recalls, changed the brakes once in 4 years, and tires once, that's about it. I guess the quality of the tires will give you better traction in snow, but I hate driving it in the snow because there's a lot of hill in the city I live in. I now have 65k miles on it and the car is GREAT! About $25 to fill tank and lasts me 2 weeks (I live very close to work) but a full tank almost gets me from Massachusetts to NY and back, thats a 3 1/2 hour one way. I just passed it on to my daughter as her first car and she loves it too! She learned how to drive in it and is comfortable. The visibility is OK. I also don't drive like a manic or treat my car like its a race car or like I don't care about it. Everything in it, buttons, heat/AC , radio, windows, still work fine. I am about to get it detailed because the paint is starting to seem dull so if you can, try to have it buffed and wax once a year but as with any car its all about how you take care of it. I love our car!!
