Guest guest Posted July 28, 1999 Report Share Posted July 28, 1999 Meenie, I was a Loan officer at a credit union (not working any more) but will tell you there is no comparison between the Kia and Corolla. The Corolla is the best I had one and wished I had never sold it. I drove it 5 years with hardly any maintenance. I only sold it because my dh and son were to big for it. and we could not travel in it because they were cramed. However I am also looking at another new car and I am most likely getting another Corolla you just can't go wrong and the resale value it great. As a matter of fact the new corollas are the size the orignal Camarys were they call the Corolla the Baby Camary. I drove mine 5 yrs and it had 100,000 miles and I still got back over half of what I paid and was thrilled. Nice cars!!!! Good Luck.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 1999 Report Share Posted July 28, 1999 You know Meenie you might inquire on the Honda Accord LX not EX but LX. Mike and I were surprised that it ran about the same price and a bigger car, however Mike felt the Corolla had more pep to it. LOL a man thing I guess. anyway just a thought. They don't give those cars away do they????? Hugs Shelia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 1999 Report Share Posted July 29, 1999 Meenie - Of the two you mentioned, I would go with the Corolla. The Sephia does not have a long enough track record in the States for my taste. (remember the Yugo?) I currently have a 1994 Honda Civic. I love it, I have never had even one day's trouble with it, and it now has about 64k miles. I had a 1997 Nissan Sentra, and my brother still has his 1987 Sentra (his has over 200k miles on it!). My Sentra had 175k miles on it when I traded it, and I had never had to do anything other than routine maintenance. I think both the Civic and the Sentra are in a similar price range to the Corolla. Good luck! in Cincinnati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 1999 Report Share Posted July 29, 1999 I'd buy a Volkswagen Jetta if I bought anything. I wouldn't drive anything else. (I know, sounds snobby, but I've put hundreds of thousands of miles on my VWs and can't say a single bad thing about 'em). K.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 1999 Report Share Posted July 29, 1999 Thanks, Shelia! I agree about the Kia... I just test drove one and it wasn't as nice as the Corolla. It was nice and roomy but the materials were definately not as nice. We plan to test drive a Honda Civic and then decide on either that or the Corolla. Right now the Corolla is in the lead Meenie Re: off topic : cars >From: SRicha9391@... > >Meenie, I was a Loan officer at a credit union (not working any more) but >will tell you there is no comparison between the Kia and Corolla.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 1999 Report Share Posted July 29, 1999 Meenie, Go with the Corolla. We are on our second. The first one which was an 84 which we gave to our church last year when we bought a 96. It is still one the road and running well. Absolutely no problems with the 96 yet. Not even a seconds. Corollas are the best cars we have. If I didn't need the mini-van because of my scooter I would be driving one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 1999 Report Share Posted August 1, 1999 Doesn't anyone on this list buy American cars?! Don't trot out that old Japanese engineering being superior, blah, blah, blah. They stole and copied all our ideas. The worst car I ever had was a Datsun. The best I ever had was a Cutlass Supreme, 1977. In fact, I would seriously consider buying another " new " '77 one if I could locate one. Have also had good experiences with Pontiacs and more recently, a Buick Regal which my wife purchased. On the other hand, Plymouth's suck and Fords aren't much better. I must appropriately add...YMMV. PAUL KOSSART Peru, IL USA NMRA, LDSIG, OPSIG, BRHS, TP & W-HS LaSalle & Bureau County Model R.R.
