I like that its not a gas guzzler. I don't like how low to the ground it is. I don't like that there's no backup cam in the car.

Reliable car, but other than that just ok

Purchased a 2012 corolla le last year. car is in great shape and very reliable the transmission shifts smooth. The bad stuff is the car is very weak, vert bad acceleration and very basic on features compared to other cars. Also gas mileage is not so great compared to my friends civic and sentra of the same year. if you are just looking for a reliable car for a daily driver without too many issues, then i recommend this car, but if other tech features and performance from a car is an issue then i do not recommend.

Most reliable car ever

After having different cars for almost eighteen years I bought a used Toyota Corolla two years ago and drove it for 30,000 miles. This car is absolutely reliable and comfortable, very fuel efficient, I had no problem with it. Just got bored and want to buy a sport car.

Toy Car

This car is a joke. It's falling apart all around me. The automated door locks have stopped working, the arm rest have caved in, most of the plastic interior has popped out of place, and the sun visors no longer stay up. Now theres a recall on the air bags because they are not safe. They recommend not having passengers in the front seatuntil thry figure out what they are going to do to fix it. Too top it all off this car feels like it's going to blow off the road during strong winds.

Simply the most reliable

I purchased this car new in late 2012 when I was a hit and run victim, destroying my previous car. This car lasted for over 132,000 miles over 4.5 year when the guy in front of me slammed on his brakes causing me to hit him, and causing me to be hit from behind. It was a sad day because this car and I had been through a lot. She was totaled out by my insurance on Feb. 21 '17. This car..., she was special to me. She never gave me any problems, zero. The water pump was just starting to develop a small leak, but she was running as good as the day I bought her. I would have this car for at least another 2 years at least, if it wasn't for that 'jack wagon'in front of me, and I miss her. My new car is also a Corolla, but it'll never be the same as my 2012.

Great Buying Experience

Purchased this car for our daughter from Liberty Toyota in Burlington, NJ. This car was a steal. Only had 10,000 miles and looks brand new. Dealing with the sales team was like working with a friend. They were professional, courteous and just plain down-to-earth. Would highly recommend both dealership and this vehicle. We couldn't be happier.

AWESOME Salesman and Service at the dealership!

I bought my 2012 Corolla S from Hershey Motors in Parkesburg, Pennsylvania from a very professional young man named Dustin Worner. He was very helpful, and very enthusiastic about his job! I would recommend this dealership to anyone if they are looking for nice, used vehicles for great and negotiable prices. I am very satisfied!
