Solid reliability & economy

Let's face it. You don't buy a Corolla if your are wanting a sports/performance car or to go off-roading. If you are looking for a super-reliable, inexpensive car as a daily-driver, you can't do much better than a Corolla. This is my second one and I still own my first (yes, I own 2 corollas) and both average about 34 mpg with the mix of driving I do. I never have any issues with these cars. I keep the oil changed, do routine maintenance, replace tires & brakes as needed and these cars seem to last forever. If you are looking for a vehicle in this class, a Corolla should get serious consideration.

Great Value and Fun to Drive

I've driven a Toyota Corolla for about a month and I am very pleased with it so far. It has good pick up, handles well and lots of bonus features like a stylish dash, intuitive controls and the AC is amazing. An excellent value , I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Most comfortable car ever

I was hesitant at first...but test drove it and immediately fell in love. I have always avoided buying a car because I just never felt safe in one, but after test driving the Corolla...I immediately purchased it because of the safety features and overall performance.

Consistent, reliable, great features for the cost!

I love my Corolla. I drove a Toyota Solara for the last 5 years, and it made me realize I want to drive a Toyota for the rest of my life. My Corolla is much more modern, has great features, is surprisingly roomy, is awesome for fuel-efficiency, and is kid-friendly. I can't say enough good things about my Corolla.

Excellent car for price value.

The car runs very smooth and has great gas mileage. The size and features of the vehicle are just right for our needs. It?s perfectly designed.

We love our new car!

This car is amazing on gas. It has 2 usb ports. This car has a rear camera that took me some getting used to, buts it's quickly become one of my favorite things. Our new car came with brand new tires, and drives so well and smooth. I would definitely recommend looking at this car and purchasing. The leg room is amazing, and the seats are really comfortable.

WORST CAR WE OWNED

BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT, VERY STYLISH EXTERIOR, INTERIOR WAS KIND OF AVERAGE. BACK SEATS HAD ONLY ONE POCKET FOR ITEMS.FRONT MIRROR FOR PASSENGER TO LOOK INTO HAD NO LIGHT.A BIG ISSUE FOR A WOMAN.THE DRIVE FELT LIKE A MARBLE IN A TIN CAN.THIS MAY BE A GOOD CAR FOR A SENIOR CITIZEN, NOT VERY SAFE FOR A NEW DRIVER.

Reliable, cute, fuel efficient, perfect little car

I love my Corolla. It is exactly what I hoped it would be - fuel-efficient, lots of modern features (bluetooth, back-up cam, etc), stylish interior and exterior design, reliable, and just absolutely perfect for me. It's great to commute in, and perfect for the weekends when I take my niece and nephew on adventures. :)

Nice ride and a little fun to drive

Nice interior, love the corolla S. The paddle shift makes it fun driving in the city. Gas mileage is excellent for a commuter car. Love the reputation it has for long life and dependability. Love this car!
