My 2003 4Runner was totaled in December. I loved that car, and dreaded looking for another, particularly since it was going to be the first time I'd purchased a car all by myself - without my husband along. The last thing I wanted and needed was HAVING to buy a car - and fast! I'd been taking my other 4Runner to Metro for service for many years, so I knew the quality of the dealership.I needn't have dreaded buying another car; Bob Kearns made the experience enjoyable, and easy, He also treated me with respect, answering my questions to ME, rather than the friends I'd brought along for reinforcements. He & I also have the same sense of humor, which was great! Bob hunted for the car I wanted, with the list of options I'd given him, along with the colors I preferred. And he found it!! I would recommend Bob to anyone who wants a relaxed, enjoyable no-pressure car buying experience. Glynis Fenn, proud owner of a new 2017 Toyota 4Runner.

Good car if you use it just for work

It is a good car for people that go from house to work and hang out with friends but not for those who want to speed up and off-road
I moved to Kalamazoo back in the spring and needed to have my oil changed and tires rotated in Nov. I called the Ford dealership in the Kzoo area and could not get any appointment for two weeks. Never had this issue with Grand Ledge Ford in my previous city. I called up Lakeview in Battle creek and they got me in the same day. Arrived for my appointment early and they had my truck on the rack in less than 10 minutes and I was out of there quickly. Service staff was very nice and professional as well. Even though it 18 miles and a 25-30 minute drive from where I live, as long as I live in the Kzoo area, I will use Lakeview for all my Ford service needs!
Oh, and they didn't pressure me on buying all kinds of things that I know I didn't need as well. I was a service manager for 16 years for several major car rental companies and know when I am being taken advantage of.
So again, thank you for your outstanding and honest service. It got you a customer that will be dedicated to you as long as I am in the Kzoo area.

Great Gas Mileage, Reliable, Not Very Comfortable
by Michael from Lawrenceburg, Kentucky

Averaging over 36 MPG in mixed driving. The "S" version handles well, and rides fairly well for the car's size, but that isn't saying much - you still feel pavement strips, bumps, etc. It's certainly no Camry or Avalon!
The car is attractive, and as reasonably priced as other cars its size. There is enough power for anyone who drives sanely. If it doesn't have enough power for you, you probably drive too aggressively to start with. The CVT is not a problem. Driven sanely, you'll never notice it.
Reliability is excellent for all years of the Corolla. That, and the excellent fuel economy are the car's best selling points.
On the downside... If you are considering a Corolla, take a long test drive. Compared to a Camry or Avalon, the car is simply not very comfortable, especially if you are older.

Good performance, very cheap interior!
by BillT from Boston, MA

Excellent basic cheaper car with good gas mileage, good brakes, and good drivability. A little noisy, but like most in its class. Cruise control is terrible with any hills on your trip. No real cupholders, power outlets, or USB plugs in the back even though this is NOT the low end Corolla. The seat material stains way too easily and can't be cleaned, even by the dealer. The floor "carpet" is NOT carpet, but felt---which CANNOT be vacuumed or really cleaned well at all. It is the worst floor material I have ever had since my first car(of many) since 1962! Bought used with 7000 miles, I took it to my dealer every 500 miles for checkup and service. At 38K, I took off the wheel to check the brakes and found the inside of the rotors were heavily grooved while the outside was barely used. The calipers were BOTH frozen. Unfortunately, neither brakes or calipers are covered under any warranty, and the dealership (Acton Totoya) offered me nothing when I showed them the problem! How could they have missed such a big problem if they really checked my car over each time? I fixed it all myself and now, with 68K, have had NO more problems with the brakes. The plastic front overhang is too low and has broken off twice when hitting the curb stones in parking lots while parking at low speed. The left front two speakers have not worked since about 10K and I haven't taken the door apart to find out why, but heard there is a problem with the door wiring just above the lower speaker. Except for the brakes thing, it has been an economical and zippy commuter car, but I will definitely go back to the Camry next time!
On September 29, 2018 I purchased a Toyota from Sunshine Toyota. WOW, the salesperson I dealt with was Krista Shields. She was exceptional in ALL the requirements of what a salesperson should be. I drove from 60 miles away and Krista greeted us as we pulled in the parking lot. That was impressive! From that greeting until the end of the deal, Krista performed beyond anything I had not experienced in my lifetime and I am 84 years old. Krista was very accomodating in answering and explaining all of our questions thru the whole process and made buying this Toyota a friendly, fun and fast experience. I noticed one of the e-mails Krista sent to me was written at 4 a.m. That's what I call a truly dedicated salesperson who goes the extra mile to make a sale.

Just took a road trip and couldn't be more satisfied with my new Corolla - very reliable and great gas mileage. Am a big fan of the Toyota Corolla - great value for the price!
Nothing was ever wrong with it really... I drove it for many years and didn't have any major problems. The paint started bubbling at the wheel well around 5 years in though

Still working great!

I bought a Corolla through Gene Messer Toyota and I still have it. I now drive a 4Runner that I bought at another Toyota dealer in Plainview. The only reason I went back was to service my 4Runner since my old Toyota place closed.
Aaron our salesman was referred to us by Christy, the Internet sales supervisor after I made an online inquiry. Aaron got back with us the very next day about the Toyota Tundra we were interested in and we made it clear because we had a far drive we would need to see some numbers in writing first. Wow did he act fast--our quotes were emailed to us within 1-2 hours. Impressive! Even more impressive he met us at the dealership on his day off, spent about 2 1/2 hrs with us closing the deal then introduced us to Dennis the Finance Manager. Wow!! Again another top notch, honest person to deal with just like Aaron. No game playing or lack of integrity with these people!! This has been the best experience at a car dealership I have EVER had. I've been purchasing vehicles for nearly 30 years so that says it all!! Thankyou for your outstanding service. We are forever customers and will refer everyone we know to you Aaron 😊

Nice Car

It was newer than the 2015 Sonata I test drove. Lots of bells and whistles. I fell in love with The Sonata. Dave Hinkley gave us complete info on both vehicles. Easy to talk with and very professional and friendly. Excellent salesman. As a female it can be intimidating to buy a vehicle. David put me at ease. I felt total trust in his ability as a salesman. I’d recommend David Hinkley to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. I definitely would highly recommend K&R of Auburn/LewistonMainr
Had been looking for a car for over 5 months. Knew what I wanted, the price range but nothing was sticking or the dealers were very rude and not interested in talking to me (the person buying the car) but would only talk to my dad leaving me out of the conversation. Not here. Was SO appreciative of Dave talking to ME and reaching out to ME about models I had expressed interest in and not my father who was only there to help. Dave was very patient, enthusiastic and willing to answer questions without being the "pushy sales guy." Very personable and made the browsing and buying experience easy. Jon slowed down the financing part for me and explained everything in great detail (as I was a first time car buyer) I just wish he smiled a little more and seemed more enthusiastic about his job :) But overall everything was done and taken care of for me in a timely manner!

this car is very well made. Its comfortable and a very nice ride , the body style is also very nice and it over all looks great
From the moment we walked in the door and met Kyle and Jim we felt comfortable. They were very welcoming and knowledgeable. After visiting other dealerships in the area with pushy salesmen that felt shady, it was nice to feel valued as a customer. The whole process of purchasing a vehicle at Jim Koestners was stress free and enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back for our next vehicle purchase and any service that needs to be performed. I really cannot express enough how happy we were with the whole experience.

Car basically drives itself. Car small I would love to stay in the middle of lane but the computer says different. Seems like I fight with the car more then anything. Other then that I love the car just wish I didn’t have to fight with the computer so much.
