Very reliable car with decent gas milage.

The car is great as a daily driver, but I will always miss my SUV. The gas mileage is pretty good and it seats 5 so carting people around isn't too bad.

Excellent performance

Perfect for daily use. I used it for 130,000 miles and it never ran into any issues. I made sure to take it to service on time

MOST RELIABLE CAR IVE EVER OWNED.

excellent in all categories! best car in its class. would purchase a second one as a family car. Toyota's best vehicle yet. Cant get enough of the trunk space or engine in this car. Great for any highschooler or commuter. Runs very quietly!

Reliable and low maintenance

This has been the best car I've ever owned. No repairs, very reliable. Handles well in winter. I bought a pretty basic model at the time so my only beefs were the very basic radio (which I replaced) and the lack of keyless entry.

Old reliable!

This car is almost 10 years old and while it doesn't run like a brand new car, it still runs well for the years and mileage that have accrued. I got the car used(and this may in part be because of the care from the previous owner ) but there has been very little maintenance that has needed to be done other than the regular oil change,brake check up, tire rotations. Mileage is pretty good, even comparable to some newer vehicles. I will likely upgrade to an electric vehicle in the coming years but, this car has provided me great use. I would definitely recommend others purchase based on maintenance costs and long term performance. The only negative comment I can truthfully give is that I think the manufacturers of this vehicle may have skimped on the exterior styling because the paint rusts off on various and noticeable spots on the car. Looking around at other Corolla's confirms that this is a defect common among the model, however, this may have been fixed in later models.
