I used 27mpg for the Corolla. If it is well over 30mpg then it has a 100,000 mile advantage over the Pious.
The wife had a Corolla for a work provided car. It wasn’t bad. It isn’t a BMW, but it did well overall. For comfort and ride, not to mention safety, I’d take a Corolla over a Pious any day. I’d say the Corolla is one of the best small cars on the road, especially at $22,000.
I used to commute about 70 miles a day, and drove a Corolla for 250,000 miles. Made it past the moon. A great commuter car. Gas and go. Fantastic car.
I heard Corollas and Camrys have the least time spent in repair shops.
