Dollar for Dollar, You Can't Go Wrong
 I purchased my 2007 Toyota Corolla from the dealer new in Jan of '07.  Overall, I went with the Corolla based purely on the proven track record of its reliability.  It hasn't let me down. Only maintenance I perform is changing the oil every 5k miles (I've used synthetic since the first change at 2000 miles).  The engine runs like new.  Tires have been replaced (upgraded to 205/16 from 185/15) with some 90,000 mile Michelin Hydro-Edge so I think they will be the last set I buy before I trade it in.  I will perform a full maintenance at 90,000 miles just to be safe.
