2012 Toyota Corolla consumer reviews

I would like to thank to a friend at Maguire Family of Dealerships name started with H and Sh that explain me everything about this toyota corolla 2012. This is a good car and reliable vehicle.

Bought this 2012 corolla May 2012.Car now has only 6000 miles on it.Dont drive car much. its uncomfortable ride,lack of power,bad location of side view mirrors,exstremely bad steering controls,.I feel that this electric power steering is not safe,and probably cause accidents. I don't understand why they went with electric power steering, but its probably cheaper than hydraulic.I have a 2001 corolla that I prefer to drive with 177m miles. It has more power,gets 34mpg,much more comfortable,feel safer in it,and pleasure to drive.I cannot wait to get rid of this 2012corolla.do not recommend this car at all.

This car is a great car for a college student who has to worry about paying for gas and maintenance. Gets great gas mileage and has lots of room for bringing stuff back to school. It is comfortable for a small car and the Bluetooth and satellite radio is wonderful to have ....so is the Navigation.

PROS:Love the car in general. It get decent gas milage, good pick-up, plenty of room in the interior even for a small car, power little 1.8L engine, Rides very smoothly, Good handling, A lot of cool options, great sliding moon roof, very sylish, Comfortable front seats, Power Everthing, Hands Free Cell Phone Hookup through your speakers for safe driving while talking on the phone, 6 Air Bags. All around a great car for the money. CONS: So far we had to take it in for service because the was a noice in the steering wheel column that was getting louder by the day.. They replaced one part and it made the noice alittle better. The dealer said that the other part in the steering column that is making the noice still is a $2000.00 part and Toyota will not authurize the repair because they claim it's a charictistic of the car and that there is no safety issue?!?!. I have had the car for 31 days now. We took it in for service on April 2, 2013. We had a rental car, same year and moel with about the same milage and it didn't have any sounds to it. We also road a 2010 Corrola S for about a week and their was no noice in that car either. Bottom line is they have to replace that part because it was within the 30 day no questions ask policy to fix ANY problem the car may have. Prior to taken it to the service center we took it tto our mechinic and he said it needs to be replaced and it will continue to get worse. That was not right what this Dealer is doing to my girlfriends car. So buyers beware. If you are looking at any newer used Corrola Sport listen close to the steering colum with the windows up, radio off and nake sure the heat or air isn't on. If you hear a noice coming from the steering colum either don't buy that car or get it in writing that it will be fixed no matter what the expence is for Toyota. They have a lot more money then most of us car buyers. Just thought I would let people know about this. In China there was a re-call on the steering colum of 1.5 million cars. It also said there was another 1.25 million recalls for the same issue but only mentioned they where in other countrys?!? Good Luck

great car r rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Traded in my 2005 Corolla S for a 2012 S, deciding that the reliability AND the mileage, which was still pretty decent after 8 years. After less than 5 months (and confirmed after extensive travel over Christmas), I will not buy another Toyota and will not keep this car after I have paid it off. Besides the loose and mushy steering feeling; the annoying beeping of the key fob (my last one was silent); and the chronic loss of bluetooth connectivity to my iPhone, the real issue is the appalling mileage. It is worse than my previous car at 8 years. My 2005 new was getting 40 mpg highway immediately and after 8 years I could count on 35, which wasn't great to me, but acceptable. This new car? 30, if I am lucky, at 5,000 miles. I feel sick driving this car and so disappointed, I am going to be saving to try and pay it off sooner just so I can trade it for something with better mileage. I never imagined that the mileage would be so abysmal, and regardless of the reliability and the fact that most of my family buys Toyota, I will not be buying another one.

I like my corolla. It has everything I need and gets me to point a to point b. Also I like how it has ipod and blue tooth. Had it for a few months and I am impressed.

The 2013 corolla is a big disappointment. First the dealership told me it had all the features of the 2006 corolla I had until a State farm customer destroyed it. I bought it and drove it home after dark only then finding out that despite a clever attempt to make it look as though it had automatic headlights , it did not. I spent the next day trying to get the dealership -- to do something about this or take it back, but they used the delay time to register the title ( signed at 5:30 p.m. yesterday) and said it was now a used car. What a scam. I would never have bought it had i known it did not have automatic headlights.

Runs great,economical,comfortable front seats. Backseat not very roomy.Corolla S bought for a good price.

Recently I had a chance to rent a Corolla S for a week. Car had 11k miles on it. My expectations crashed as badly as they were high. The things I disliked most about the car were twitchy unrealistic steering feel and the dash(radio etc..) straight from 1979. Lacked power for any kind of passing manuevour. Besides that the audio quality and the horn (yes the horn) were the most annoying details of this car. You know the Roadrunner commerical (beep beep) ? yeah the horn sounded exactly like that.
