  • Worst dealership in Rochester

    The vehicle is fine, the dealership are thieves. Misqouted milage, inserted bogus Carfax, paid way too much based on these facts, and tried to have me pay for damages they said they'd take care of on my trade INS.

  • Not Stylish but dependable

    I have 45000 miles on this car and so far everything seems to work well. It is definitely not a powerful car- stay off the Interstates- and the drift is pretty noticeable at speeds over 65. You get great gas mileage- 38 MPH on my Eco- and the ride is typical small car bumpy. Forget the cruise control- useless on this car and the lane assist and other "assist" features are bothersome. If you want dependable and good mileage buy this car. If you want style and speed, shop elsewhere.

  • The world's most perfect car.

    I love the 2014-2019 Corollas so much. They do everything beautifully. Great acceleration, ride, comfort, quality inside and out, dependability, efficiency, and resale value. Legendary longevity. The best value by far, since Civics will cost quite a bit more. My Corolla is very fun to drive, which is something that is understated. You really don't need to buy a sports car with a bumpier ride to enjoy driving. It's the perfect combination of zippy power, comfortable ride, and enjoyable handling-- while making 35mpg. They're still worth a good amount of money once you have 150K+ miles on them, and don't cost much to begin with. Which means a very low cost to own, and trouble-free long term peace of mind. Like I said-- the world's most perfect car. Which is why Corolla is the world's best selling car OF ALL TIME.
