A Great Vehicle

It’s a great car all around. Lots of leg and head room even for someone over 6ft 4in. Lots of pep and superb gas mileage.

A very enjoyable car to drive.

The car suites my needs but comes up short in some areas. There is no leg room in the back seat. In order to make more room the front seat has to be pulled up. This shortens the leg room for the front seat passenger and puts the driver too close to the steering wheel. The trunk space is too small. The owners manual is not clear in some places.

Most Reliable Car I’ve owned

I freaking love my car. It’s sporty and has enough room for my 4 month old. First 4 door car I’ve ever owned. This is also the first brand new off the lot car I’ve ever owned.

Style, Safety, Efficiency, and surprising Performa

This car is awesome!! I have always respected the Corolla for its mpg and reliability but always thought of it as too generic. Then they brought the hatch back!!! This car has all of Toyota's Safety Sense options, gets 40+mpg, and is surprisingly quick and sporty. Looking forward to many years of driving enjoyment!! Get you one!!!

So happy with this car!

This car is the best I’ve owned. It’s got everything I wanted. Bluetooth, backup camera, gps and tons more great stuff. Upgraded from Scion IA and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my purchase.

Great little car!

I was looking for an economical little city car, but one with some oomph and refinement for highway trips. This car car has far exceeded my expectations. Quick, quiet, stylish and loaded with safety features. I really like the simple, peaceful interior. Sporty when you need it, too. Very good MPG, although I am getting a bit lower than advertised despite mostly conservative driving. 6 months, 2k miles, zero issues/defects.

Fun to drive stick shift

I have about 300 miles on my hatchback so far. I bought the car to try to mimic my first car, 1968 TR4A. I wanted a stick shift that I could wind out through the gears and scoot around corners, all while not getting a ticket. This is what this car does well. It is fun to drive. Out on the highway, it is so smooth. The active cruise is great. There are only a few negatives. The first is the cargo cover. It clunks when I go over a stiff bump. Some roads have a lot of stiff bumps, so this thing drives me crazy. The second is the center arm rest. It would be OK with an automatic, but it is too high for the stick shift. I can put my arm on it while shifting, but I am sliding my arm around on it as I shift. I can go to the driver's side of it, but then it's in the way when trying to go to 3rd and higher gears.. It needs to be 3 inches lower. I thought of removing the cover, but looking at it, it would not be easy to do so.

Best Corolla in a long time

I love the looks and performance of this car. It's a lot faster than the previous generation. It does have fake exhaust tips in the bumper... buts it's amazing overall.

Excellent value

Love this hatchback. It looks fantastic and puts a smile on my face every time I see it. It comes with a lot of standard features for the price: Push to start, keyless entry, apple carplay, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, LED lights with auto brights, etc. The only gripe is the legroom in the back is a little cramped, but I rarely need to carry passengers in the back, so it’s not a big deal for me. Overall, I’m very pleased with my purchase. It is a new design and platform, so I’m hoping that Toyota reliability keeps this car going for many years to come.
