"PROS:Love the car in general. It get decent gas milage, good pick-up, plenty of room in the interior even for a small car, power little 1.8L engine, Rides very smoothly, Good handling, A lot of cool options, great sliding moon roof, very sylish, Comfortable front seats, Power Everthing, Hands Free Cell Phone Hookup through your speakers for safe driving while talking on the phone, 6 Air Bags. All around a great car for the money. CONS: So far we had to take it in for service because the was a noice in the steering wheel column that was getting louder by the day.. They replaced one part and it made the noice alittle better. The dealer said that the other part in the steering column that is making the noice still is a $2000.00 part and Toyota will not authurize the repair because they claim it's a charictistic of the car and that there is no safety issue?!?!. I have had the car for 31 days now. We took it in for service on April 2, 2013. We had a rental car, same year and moel with about the same milage and it didn't have any sounds to it. We also road a 2010 Corrola S for about a week and their was no noice in that car either. Bottom line is they have to replace that part because it was within the 30 day no questions ask policy to fix ANY problem the car may have. Prior to taken it to the service center we took it tto our mechinic and he said it needs to be replaced and it will continue to get worse. That was not right what this Dealer is doing to my girlfriends car. So buyers beware. If you are looking at any newer used Corrola Sport listen close to the steering colum with the windows up, radio off and nake sure the heat or air isn't on. If you hear a noice coming from the steering colum either don't buy that car or get it in writing that it will be fixed no matter what the expence is for Toyota. They have a lot more money then most of us car buyers. Just thought I would let people know about this. In China there was a re-call on the steering colum of 1.5 million cars. It also said there was another 1.25 million recalls for the same issue but only mentioned they where in other countrys?!? Good Luck"

"Traded in my 2005 Corolla S for a 2012 S, deciding that the reliability AND the mileage, which was still pretty decent after 8 years. After less than 5 months (and confirmed after extensive travel over Christmas), I will not buy another Toyota and will not keep this car after I have paid it off. Besides the loose and mushy steering feeling; the annoying beeping of the key fob (my last one was silent); and the chronic loss of bluetooth connectivity to my iPhone, the real issue is the appalling mileage. It is worse than my previous car at 8 years. My 2005 new was getting 40 mpg highway immediately and after 8 years I could count on 35, which wasn't great to me, but acceptable. This new car? 30, if I am lucky, at 5,000 miles. I feel sick driving this car and so disappointed, I am going to be saving to try and pay it off sooner just so I can trade it for something with better mileage. I never imagined that the mileage would be so abysmal, and regardless of the reliability and the fact that most of my family buys Toyota, I will not be buying another one."

"The 2013 corolla is a big disappointment. First the dealership told me it had all the features of the 2006 corolla I had until a State farm customer destroyed it. I bought it and drove it home after dark only then finding out that despite a clever attempt to make it look as though it had automatic headlights , it did not. I spent the next day trying to get the dealership -- to do something about this or take it back, but they used the delay time to register the title ( signed at 5:30 p.m. yesterday) and said it was now a used car. What a scam. I would never have bought it had i known it did not have automatic headlights."

"Recently I had a chance to rent a Corolla S for a week. Car had 11k miles on it. My expectations crashed as badly as they were high. The things I disliked most about the car were twitchy unrealistic steering feel and the dash(radio etc..) straight from 1979. Lacked power for any kind of passing manuevour. Besides that the audio quality and the horn (yes the horn) were the most annoying details of this car. You know the Roadrunner commerical (beep beep) ? yeah the horn sounded exactly like that."

"I have driven a Toyota Corolla for 10 years and was sad to give it up, but I must admit my new Corolla is better than I ever thought it could be. It is so comfortable and easy to drive and has all the necessary extras that I could ever want. Actually more than I expected to get. And they came with the car and did not cost extra as did many other cars I looked at. I am hoping to keep this car for another 10 years and that it is as reliable as my last car! Thank you!"
