1998 Toyota Corolla Sedan LE 4dr Sedan
Great car!
 We purchased this car new in '98 and
besides regular maint. and a $1 muffler
repair (no joking, a bolt came loose)
this car has been problem free.  Not bad
for over a car with more than 100K
miles.  The ride is comfortable and
handling in the winter is much better
than I expected.  I also like the fact
there are *no* rattles or squeeks.
 I don't think you can do better for a
inexpensive small car.
