Expert 2017 Toyota Corolla iM review

our expert's take
Our expert's take
By Joe Bruzek
Full article
our expert's take

Not to be confused with the Toyota Corolla sedan — the one you probably know — the 2017 Toyota Corolla iM is a four-door hatchback formerly called the Scion iM. Parent company Toyota dissolved Scion in 2016 but adopted the iM into the Toyota house. More than just the badge is new: For 2017, the iM adds important safety features not offered when it was a Scion.

Otherwise, little else has changed. The only options are a dealer-installed navigation system and an automatic transmission to replace the standard manual transmission. Those who want heated seats, satellite radio or a moonroof are out of luck — none are offered, which keeps the price low.  

I tested an iM with the automatic transmission priced at $20,375, including an $885 destination charge.

Exterior & Styling

The iM is an attractive hatchback. Its sleek profile and sharp edges create an athletic appearance. There’s a minimal gap between the wheels and fenders, and the standard 17-inch wheels are an attractive set of rollers with dark gray spokes and low-profile tires. Toyota did an admirable job pumping up the sedate overseas version (called the Toyota Auris) with more aggressive styling for the U.S.

How It Drives

Unfortunately, the iM’s hot-hatch athleticism is only skin deep. The Toyota Corolla iM is the automotive equivalent of smoking cigarettes while wearing skintight activewear. The iM looks sporty enough, but try to get the lead out and the iM coughs and wheezes up to speed. Its noisy 137-horsepower, 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine isn’t nearly as refined as the offerings in the pricier Chevrolet Cruze, Honda Civic or Mazda3 hatchbacks. Compare the iM with those here.

The iM isn’t underpowered, but the gravelly sounding engine is ill-matched with the responsive continuously variable automatic transmission. The CVT is quick to accelerate, but the buzz saw under the hood exaggerates every CVT adjustment into a noticeable and loud groan. In the handling department, the iM drives more like a casual commuter than a hot hatchback — atypical in a class that promotes driving fun, as in the tight-handling Cruze, Civic and Mazda3. 

Interior

The iM’s front seats were cushioned and contoured to fit my slender, 6-foot-tall body well, and they were comfortable over a five-hour trip of mostly highway driving. Sitting in the rear seat, however, is a little less luxurious. It’s tight for the class; hatchbacks like the Cruze and Civic offer more spacious rear seats.

Quality materials are a high point of the iM’s interior; they’re a tad higher-quality than the Corolla sedan. Climate controls include piano black buttons and toggle switches surrounded by contrast accent stitching and minimalistic dark silver trim. My automatic transmission test car had a stitched gear selector boot, and the center console is padded to let a leg gently rest against it during long highway drives. What stands out as exceptional is the leather-covered steering wheel and details in the instrument panel that were more interesting than those in a top trim 2017 Toyota Corolla XLE I recently tested.   

The iM’s standard features aren’t going to blow you away, but what’s offered is impressive considering the car is priced at the bottom end of its class. Dual automatic climate control, keyless entry, cruise control and the leather-trimmed steering wheel are all standard, as is a standard forward collision warning system (discussed in detail below).

What’s missing are options like heated seats, a moonroof, leather upholstery and remote start. Those, of course, add cost to competitors, but they aren’t even optional on the iM. I tested the Corolla iM in the middle of a Chicago winter, when heated seats are a must-have. Right afterward, I drove a Cruze hatchback with optional heated seats, heated steering wheel and remote start. They made the Cruze a much more pleasant car to drive in the cold, but then, it was nearly 30 percent more expensive at $26,475.   

Ergonomics & Electronics

A standard 7-inch touchscreen includes Bluetooth for phone and music streaming, plus a USB port. It lacks satellite radio and heavy-hitting features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which mirror smartphone functions like navigation and streaming music applications to the car’s multimedia display. The Chevrolet Cruze and Honda Civic have more feature-packed multimedia systems: The Cruze hatchback has standard CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as subscription-based 4G LTE in-car wireless internet. The Civic includes CarPlay and Android Auto on EX and above trims. Thankfully, the iM’s main display has a volume dial that makes it easier to use than the Civic’s touch-sensitive-only controls.     

Cargo & Storage

The 20.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the iM’s backseat is less than the Civic hatchback’s 25.7 cubic feet and the Cruze hatchback’s 22.7 cubic feet, but only slightly more than the 20.2 cubic feet in the Mazda3. A difference of 4 to 5 cubic feet is hard to notice in these hatchbacks, and I easily fit luggage for three people into an iM for a trip from Chicago to Detroit, then into a Cruze for the return trip.

Safety

In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety testing, the 2017 Toyota Corolla iM received the highest rating in side impact and moderate overlap front crash tests. It hasn’t been subjected to the institute’s other tests, though, including the more-difficult small overlap frontal crash.

The iM’s most impressive feature is its standard forward collision warning system with automatic emergency braking. Called Toyota Safety Sense, the TSS-C package includes a camera and laser to monitor the speed of the vehicle ahead and will alert the driver when a collision is imminent and automatically brake if the driver doesn’t intervene. This packaging of safety features also includes lane departure warning and automatic high beam assist. A backup camera is also standard.

To see how well a child-safety seat fits in the iM, see the Car Seat Check here.

Value in Its Class

Other hatchbacks with similar forward collision warning systems and automatic transmissions can’t be had as affordably as the iM’s $20,375. The iM also includes Toyota’s two years/24,000 miles of complimentary maintenance, though it’s not alone in that; the Cruze offers two years/25,000 miles.

With the exception of the safety systems, the iM feels about five years outdated. It doesn’t move the needle in any particular way and lacks the type of wow features found in competitors — which are also more fun to drive, though more expensive. On balance, the inclusion of the iM’s safety features at this price is a big, safe, practical reason to give the iM a look.

  • My mom is 80 years old.

    My mom is 80 years old. She bought a 2017 Toyota Corolla IM brand new and it has 7500 original miles on it. She went to drive it and it left her stranded in the road it would not go over 35 miles an hour and she started smelling something is she explain to me was oil or something was burning getting hot. I'm in San Diego California and she's in fort Lauderdale Florida. Right now she's calling a tow truck I'm looking for any kind of recalls on this car because it has 7,500 Mi she should not be having any problem with the car. She's very meticulous about getting it serviced at the toyota dealership. She only drives to and from grocery stores and to and from church. Up until now she never had a problem with it.

  • Great car !!!

    This is a great car! I love the features, esp the sport function, which gives you a boost if you need to jump on it. Obviously, some people don't use this feature or don't know what it does. When getting on the freeway, I always use it, then simply turn it off when necessary. I usually get about 34-36 mpg on long trips and around town about 28-32mpg. The one and only complaint I have is that it is too low to the ground and sometimes it's very difficult to get in. If I move the driver's seat back, it makes it easier. I am the original owner of a 2017. The other features i like are the backup camera, electric side view mirrors, speak feature to make calls, the interior is gorgeous, the hatchback. I just really love this car. I have never had a problem with it. If you're looking for a reliable car, this is it!

    Is the perfect car!! The trunk will swallow up anything you give it, the legroom is excellent all around, it's super fun to drive, and the touch screen is super responsive compared to Honda's system.

  • Great Little Car

    this car is well designed and fun to drive, fortunately the sound system is a decent quality this helps drown out the road noise at high speeds. the single speed trans feels like it's holding the car back, but sport mode lets the car get up and run fairly quickly. the voice automated system seems to have a hard time understanding what your asking it to do if you have the fan running or at freeway speeds due to the road noise. but all in all good interior and exterior design.

  • I love the car but the resale value sucks!!

    This Corolla iM is really a fantastic car. The only problem is it's resale value is terrible. I love this car, from the styling to the tranny, this car is quick and nimble, has really great gas mileage to boot. I have gotten 47 MPG a few times, but the handling is superb , with the right tires it is fantastic. There are two issues with it, 1st. the hood is low and is a catcher of tiny stones so there are marks on it! No dents but paint loss! 2nd. is the air filter, I changed mine to a K&N, it works great now!

  • Wonderful little hatchback

    I love this car. I used to drive a rather old SUV and needed something a little smaller (i.e. a sedan or hatchback) for my rather tight parking stall. The Corolla iM /hatchback has the same body as the Corolla but with more trunk space. There's good leg space in both the front and back, and the entire design is quite lovely. Having a touchscreen is also awesome, as well as the ability to hook up my phone to it either via cord or bluetooth to deal with calls and listen to my playlist. Driving it is a charm. The brakes are way more sensitive than what I'm used to, but I've gotten a hang of them now. It also has a pre-collision braking system and lane departure alert (which you can turn off or change the sensitivity of). It's quite agile on the road. Great on gas, too. Other features include a remote-starter (which I'm certainly grateful for---I live in Edmonton and love the idea that I can start warming up my car from my apartment on the 10th floor; I'm also grateful for the heated seats) and side rear-view mirrors that fold up at the touch of a button for parking somewhere narrow. I would definitely recommend this car to friends and family. My only complaint, honestly, is that the horn is a little wimpy. Even so, both times that I've needed to use it, the other driver heard me perfectly fine.

  • Just good looking car

    This is really a good looking car. Especially, it looks better in the night time with its lights on. But the mpg is not that good as I expected, around 31~33. These days, Accord and Sonata get around 34. My previous car, 2012 Camry and 29~30. Not much benefit for mpg. Also, it does not provide good acceleration. It is just looking sporty. The best thing of this car is suspension. it is well-balanced and not that soft and not that hard. While cruising, it is comfy and on turning curbs, it is swift and firm. but I said acceleration is not good even in the full throttle. It's toyota. There is no problem and sturdy so far. it seems it will go over 150k with no problem. But CVT is suspicious. If there will be a problem, it could be the transmission. There is no symptom but it does not match with the engine. It's just my feeling.
