My 4th Corolla, but never again.

My 4th Corolla, but never again. Electronic locks went out just after warranty ended (less than 3 years). >$1200 to repair so I skipped it. Manual locks, ugh. Then problems with ball bearings, then alternator went out, then another problem (burr something), and other things. With my previous 3 Corollas I did not have ANY issues. Only normal maintenance- brakes, tires, etc. PLUS, I never got as good gas mileage with my 2013 as with my 2003, even when my 2013 was new and my 2003 was 10 years with 170,000 miles. Guess I got a lemon. Done with Toyota.

Great car, huge value!

This car is great! It’s small but mighty. It zips and I have not had any issues with it. It’s super reliable and ridiculously good on gas. This particular year, in my opinion, is great because even though it’s older it still looks newer/modern. Toyota did a great job with this one.

Great Car

I own a 2013 Corolla LE and it has been nothing but great to me. It is very reliable and has amazing gas mileage and handling even in a brutal winter it will startup with no problem, you can absolutely never go wrong with a Toyota.

Extremely reliable, affordable car

This is my first car. It is 10 years old, with 300,000 miles on it. It has a fairly new engine with about 100,000 miles on it. It makes a little noise on the road but runs like a dream. Beautiful blue color with a few scratches, but very limited rust. I cannot say enough about the gas mileage on this car. I love driving. I drive for over an hour most days of the week, and only need to refuel once every 1-2 weeks. This vehicle handles very well, it is very easy to control and has excellent steering. Top speed is 115 mph, and 0-60 is 9.3 seconds for my car. It hasn’t slowed down at all. Can’t say enough good things about this car. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. Definitely recommend as an affordable, reliable, sporty compact car.

Reliable car for a long time

I bought the corolla le in 2013 and just this year upgraded to a new car. It was extremely reliable, I can't emphasize that enough. Never had any major issues, just regular maintenance. I drove it up and down the west coast several times and never had an issue. It's a great first car or if you need something reliable that won't break the bank.

Most Reliable Car I've Owned

My wife and I have owned this car since new and have never had a problem with it. We have been its only owners and have taken really good care of it.

Great car! Excellent gas mileage. Runs great!

This car is very dependable. Gets great gas mileage and never lets you down. Toyota will run forever and makes a great car for work or kids car for school.

I enjoyed my car driving from home to work.

This care met all my needs and helped me for past four years to drive home to work and to return. Great mileage. I enjoyed driving it. When I bought it it had only 4000 miles.
