Having said that the Toyota Corolla 2013 is insanely reliable. The important thing is to not get a car with a CVT transmission and no DGI . If you want new , the Corolla has a CVT transmission so it’s a no go for me. The RAV4 does not. All Subarus have CVT’s so stay away from. Or go with Mazda. None of their cars have CVT’s.

If anything is to take away from this list, is that cash for clunkers *really* fucked shit up for the used car market. Cars nearing 15-20 years old with 5k asking prices is nuts. 20 years ago, a 20 year old car/truck (in ok condition)could almost always be found for 500-1000.

People are mind blown that the '13 Cruz with the 1.4T I bought used got 170k+ before giving up the ghost. The stupid water block I could change in about 10 minutes on the side of the road and kept a spare in the trunk for that purpose. (Plastic parts under hood are ignorant) Replaced the radiator and kept the Oil changed every 3k. Even their stupid PVC system still functioned properly. Replaced the oil return line behind the Turbo "just in case", it had already been updated. It was a good vehicle that served me well and I am seriously considering pulling the engine and rebuilding it. I can get an entire rebuild kit from crank to piston for less than $7 bills.

From 2007 to 2009 Mazda did NOT build a Turbo version of Mazda 3. Mazda 3 during that time period offered two, NON turbo engines: 2.0 liter and a 2.3 liter naturally aspirated engines. Both were excellent but 2.3 was remarkably faster.

[@briang70]

Mazda did build a turbo from 2007 to 2013. It's called the Mazdaspeed 3, appropriately enough. And my 2008 3 S Sport did lose oil.... only from a gasket leak which, after replacing, did NOT burn a drop of oil until the day I sold it at 186K miles.

[@briang70]

Gotta correct you there, bud, on the Mazda 3. The "S" (as in 2.3L) vs. the "I" (2.0L) are worlds apart. The 2.0 was barely adequate whereas the 2.3 was noticeably quicker. The turbo was only available on the 5 door hatch. I had both the "I" and the "S" 4 door sedans. I only got rid of my 2008 S Sport due to owner negligence when it came to taking care of the paint. The car started to look ghetto so I sold it at 186K in April, 2024. It was in perfect condition mechanically and the only major repair was the transmission which went out at about 130K. If I could afford three cars, I would still have it today as a grocery getter. It's handling and very capable transmission performance are second to none, IMHO.
