I'm deciding on what to buy for my first used car, do you think buying a used Toyota Corolla is still a safe and affordable option?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

M$Toyota Corolla - This Toyota vehicle shares many of the characteristics of the Honda Civic and is a favorite among teenagers as both a new and used vehicle. It's reliable, with good performance, has plenty of room inside, and there are many options from after-market companies for styling and performance improvements. Buyers of this vehicle, and others in our list, should consider getting the stability control option when available. It's one of the most effective safety features being offered on cars today. The Corolla is priced at about $13,700 for base models. If the Corolla is not quite large enough, look at the Toyota Camry, one the best-selling cars in America for the last few years.
On a SMART note: The Toyota Corolla will ALWAYS hold its resale value! It doesnt matter if its a 1980 version or a brand new one! They are selling Corollas on www.craigslist.org as we write for more money they you may think its worth but they are selling like HOT CAKES because they are such great cars!
No doubt in my mind, you find the right one, for the right price and you will have no problem what so ever at all! Keep oil in it, keep water in it and you're good to go!

M$Used cars can be great, but with Toyota's recent problems, I wouldn't trust any of it's models, new or old. And this isn't because I hate Toyota or their vehicles; I'm just trying to look out for your safety and others who drive with you. Maybe I'm taking it a little on the safe side, but... that's how I roll, I guess :)
There are plenty of other cars just as good as the Corolla, like the Ford Focus or the Honda Civic. So why don't you go for one of these?

Just my opinion, but I think you should wait a couple years to go the Toyota way. Affordable, yes. Safe, it's iffy.
Opinion.
