^^^ That wasn't really the question. Personally I'd rather have a Mazda3 but maybe the OP can get a great deal on a Corolla right now. And doesn't personally need/care for the sportier character of the 3
Dad works for Ford, so I can get employee prizing on the Mazda 3 lease= $225 per month. Same exact options and lease for the Corolla is $166 per month. Also, the buy out for the Corolla at the end and the cost of the lease is less than the sticker price of the car, not for the Mazda 3.
I would RATHER have a Mazda 3 right now, but I was going to buy a used car to get payments down. The Corolla would mean I could do a new car with warranty.

But my husband is nervous about safety. I am not.
I really was only pointing out that the Toyota performed at the worst of its class. If safety is your only concern, I would not worry about it. The Corolla is slow, so even if the accelerator sticks it would be an easy switch to neutral.
I don't understand why anyone would buy a Toyota Corolla to begin with! Slow, cramped, ugly, and uncomfortable...why buy one?
People give the argument of "well...it gets good gas mileage". Plenty of larger vehicles get good gas mileage as well, hell a Cadillac DTS with a V8 can achieve 28 mpg on the highway!
If I'm buying a vehicle I want it to be either sleek and fast or big and luxurious. My 'Vette satisfies the former and my Yukon satisfies the latter. Why would someone want a vehicle that does nothing well?
