Best grandma car.

What this vehicle lacks in performance and excitement, it makes up for tenfold in reliability and safety. Driven this car well over a year now, and only had an issue with the alternator going out. Put around ten thousand miles on it with no problems! Never left me stranded. Gets great gas mileage, and with a less restrictive air intake it sounds quite nice. It’s not the most comfortable car in the world, no heated or ventilated seats, no fancy electric gizmos. It’s a car that’ll do what cars were made to do. Take you places.

Good "I just need a car that works" vehicle

I cleaned up and flipped a 250,000 mile 2011 Corolla owned by a construction worker followed up by a man on disability parts were cheap and a lot of the OEM stuff was still holding up very well. The interior is fine nothing fancy but it gets the job done it works and the seats are surprisingly plushy and comfortable. For the exterior who cares it gets you around from point A to point b it works. The car gets decent MPG rear seat and trunk space is decent not particularly interesting or fun to drive but if you just need a car that works this is a good choice that is cheap and easy to maintain and can hold up well.

2011 Toyota Corolla LE

This is my first Toyota and I can’t say I’m disappointed in the least. It’s safe and reliable. My car only has 101,000 and has been meticulously maintained and cleaned before I got it. I fully expect to get 300 to 350,000 miles and more from this car with just maintenance. A great car for anyone.

Great car for the money

This car has given me a reliable mode of transportation. Even after the 12 years that i have had this car it has not given me any problems. The best part about this car is that even when I put an automatic starter in it and every winter i say it is the best money i ever spent on this car

This car will outlast your interest in driving it.

Just Looking to get from point A to point B for the next 10-15 years with just regular maintenance? A manual Toyota Corolla may even surpass that. I did a round trip from NM to AZ non-stop during the summer getting 32+ MPG with no issues. 12+ hours straight. I was more worried about the podcasts and audio books to keep me entertained. If reliability and low maintenance is the priority, you cant beat a manual Toyota Corolla.

My first Toyota

For a small car it has plenty of room inside , exterior is smart , it’s got just the right amount of bells and whistles without being difficult to use , I like the trunk pop up from remote , the car is quiet ,smooth , and good gas mileage 25 mpg for about 1/2 and 1/2 interstate and in town driving ,

Best daily for the money

I’ve now owned this car for close to 7 years. Outside of regular maintenance and oil changes , I’ve had to get an alternator at 75,000 miles and a water pump at 110,000 miles. My corolla now currently has 126,000 miles and is running like stronger than ever. The car has never left me stranded and has had its fair share of road trips and adventures throughout its lifetime. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for something small, efficient, and affordable.

Small reliable car for daily commute

It is a reliable little car, that gives good mileage, has decent looks inside and out. Overall great value for the money especially on a budget.
