2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback consumer reviews

This car meets all my expectative, security is a must and it has it , its a sport car, something I love , and even for its size has power. It the total package.

This car exceeds what I was looking for and the sales staff was like family. Micheal Wells was the best salesmen I have ever had he knew his stuff and wasn't affraid to go the extra mile to help us find a reliable and affordable car

Here are my XSE - manual bullet points: Comfort: Good. Not a cushy ride. Not cushy seats. A bit stiff. Actually, the bigger profile tires do not absorb commuter potholes. You will feel 'em. Performance: I like that it is naturally-aspirated -- no turbo. In the long run, less to go wrong. The manual maximizes the engine's zip around town and it certainly does not feel underpowered on the highway. Not a speed demon, by any means. Good, but not great fuel economy for this segment. We live by Lake Superior, with frigid winters. Had a low oil pressure warning with about 600 miles on the car. Diagnosis....water/condensation in the oil. The oil was losing viscosity (freezing) with the below 0 weather. I will reserve judgement on dependability. Too early to tell. Not used to an Toyota engine issue on this new car. Exterior Styling: I love the looks of this car. The Corolla is now making a fashion statement. (Not the norm for this model.) I also ordered the white premium paint. After a number of washings and waxing, the finish is excellent. Not a blem to be found. The best...... Interior Design: Overall, nice. Fit and finish shows Toyota is paying attention. Dash screen options are good and colors are, well, stylish. Not sure whether I like the large flat screen, but it does provide good clear driver / front passenger communication. Back seat is a bit cramped and the hatch room is stingy. Value for the Money: My Corolla approached $25K. Not the cheapest in this category, but you get a lot for the money.....and hopefully, Toyota dependability. All the safety features. Heated seats. Intelligent manual -- I've been driving manuals forever, but I can tell the difference in IMT mode. Apple carplay. LED lights. 18 inch wheels. Great fit and finish. Reliabliity: One issue, so far. I am hoping for a huge dose of Toyota reliability. I'll reserve judgement. With three months of ownership and 1500 miles.....too early to tell.

This car is perfect. I have zero complaints. It’s nimble, quick, has quick steering response, is planted firmly on the ground (balanced) and takes curves like a champ. It’s a true joy to drive. That, along with the reliability...what’s not to like? I test drove many cars before this one, but one drive was all it took.

I needed a reliable 2nd car. Car drives great. Very comfortable and smooth. My only complaint is the back seat doesn't have a lot of leg room, but that is OK since my wife and I are very short.

The car is extremely reliable, eco-friendly and stylish. It’s interior and exterior offer wonderful juxtaposition, as it appears quick and sporty while offering a luxurious dashboard and seats.

The perfect size and really comfortable. I always feel safe driving in this car. Love the stereo system and apple car play. I also save so much money with gas money!

I've gotten used to driving hatchbacks over the years and the styling of the Corolla sold me over. As soon as I find the model and color, I will buy one.

Because the small ones I tried had no guts we were contemplating a mid size SUV to replace our sedan. But we're empty nesters now and don't need all that space and all those big gas bills. Just want a smaller practical vehicle to get around our congested city traffic for the most part but also must be comfortable enough for highway use when we have to travel to visit the kids or relatives out of town. Also need a hatch opening for hauling the occasional garden supplies and and other stuff that won't fit in the trunk or the back seat of a car. One drive of the Corolla Hatchback was all it took. Rides a bit harder than the sedan but it's not bad and comparable to an SUV but the nice part is it doesn't wallow around and it tracks great. Little thing drives like a charm, corners great and scoots right along - nothing like my wife's old Corolla which was built like a tank but drove like one too. Finally a Toyota that's fun to drive. Seats are comfortable and the car is very relaxing to drive, especially with the standard all speed cruise control which makes driving congested highways a breeze. Making excuses to go out for a drive again - haven't done that in years. As for value for the money category, like that old commercial said you can pay me now or pay me later.

Most comfortable heated seats! Apple play is great...everything about this car is wonderful! Fun fun fun to drive! I?m tall and there?s plenty of room. Low center of gravity my dogs stay put in the back seat.
