buying one of these is akin to announcing that you no longer have any ambitions in life and are content with being merely passable.

WTF??  I should leave this alone, but honestly, you know NOTHING about me beyond what you might read here, and presuming you can ascertain my entire life by the fact that we own a Corolla make you nothing more than a troll, destined to judge people based on brands instead of actions.

If you read what I have written concerning this very car, you'll see that I agree that it is an appliance and not designed for enthusiast driving.  However, I do understand that this car has a place, and even enthusiasts might own one for whatever reason.  I never ascribe personal traits to someone's choice, and their automotive choices are only one TINY part of their life.

I suppose I could make the assumption that your FWD sedan means you're a dullard, as that car is pretty much a soul-less commuter machine compared to, well, a Miata...

...but I won't.

Don't go away mad, just go away.  Or provide constructive content to the forum.

I am certainly not in the poor house and I also own a Corolla. It's a good car and my wife loves it. In fact she chose it.

So what is the issue here?

Seems the regenerative braking system gives brake pad life of 300K or more.  Crazy!!

Wow...300K on a set of pads....thats amazing.  :o

My Pruis has 350K and still on the same pads. Nothing gone wrong either. Just keeps on going.

Our Corolla is used almost all in the city and I replaced the front brakes at over 110K, and the rears have 70% left.  I wasn't unhappy with that.
