Is buying a Toyota Corolla a good decision?

I am thinking about buying a Toyota Corolla, but I'm not sure if it's a smart choice. Can you give me some advice?

As a Toyota Corolla owner for the past 5 years, I highly recommend it. It's affordable, reliable, and has great fuel efficiency.

I would suggest looking into the Honda Civic as well. It's a bit more expensive than the Corolla, but it has a better reputation for safety.

My friend had a Corolla and it broke down constantly. I would recommend doing some research and considering other options.
