I have been having problems with (what I think) some part

I have been having problems with (what I think) some part of the electrical panel. Initially, the driver's side LED light went out along with the reverse camera. I replaced this light (very expensive) and also the battery! Needless to say, it went out again! I am so disheartened! I have called the dealer...I know of 2 other people who also had trouble with electrical system. I need help....

My sweet Toyota Corolla S. !!

This particular 2016 Corolla S we bought used in December 2021 and so far so good. I had a small Toyota pickup back in the mid 1980’s and it was awesome!!!

Safety First

the headlights.....feels like the traction control has me skid in rain like conditions.....and in the snow I feel it is dangerous....the noise from the brakes (skid like) to be the traction control... I have no idea... I didn't like the feel of it from the beginning....it is a smooth ride... great gas mileage....but I don't feel safe on wet or snowy roads...the dealership did adjust my head lights...and had to fix my brakes in the first 60 days...I even bought new tires last winter...had enough tread on my old tires thinking it would help ......it didn't.....I wonder if anybody else has had this problem...I bought the car brand new....I feel it could be a safety issue for some reason...I..will buy a different car soon...

Avoid Corolla's at all cost

This car sucks all around no pickup you step on the gas all you get is high RPM's as the motor fights the transmission to accelerate. If you decide to put a system in to try and get some enjoyment out of the car don't because there's no insulation to separate you from the outside noises and will cost you about $2600 with 3 layers of deaden with labor to fix the problem. With the radio off you can hear what's going on all around on the roads. For extended periods of time your body will be in pain due to how uncomfortable the seats are and not much room at all. I will gladly trade this car for a V8 non efficient car to get rid of it and enjoy it while driving Corolla's sucks....

Best performing car we've ever owned!

We bought this car brand new after owning Cadillacs and Corvettes, also bought brand new. We're in our 80's now and needed a reliable, moderately priced vehicle 6 years ago and needed dependability. After researching Toyota, we bought this 2016 Corolla and are extremely pleased we did. We have had zero problems with it, it is safe, economical & comfortable. If, and when, this vehicle becomes too expensive to maintain, we will definitely buy another Toyota!

Fantastic on all aspects.

Car is exactly what we wanted, is very nice looking, is extremely reliable, and has 5-star safety ratings. It is really a great value; would recommend to anyone looking for a safe, reliable small sedan.

Great car for the price.

This is my third corolla. I love the style and overall ride. My very first car was a corolla back in 1977. They last forever.

Worse car to buy.many defect thattoyota pretends n

I think Toyota should be ashamed of the defectsthis car has especially withthe paint. Toyota knows about the defect in the paint on all the corolla models and colors but lies to the consumer and toyota of glendale service lies and misleads customers without documenting service complaints when it wastoldto them

Very reliable and great on gas.

I love it. There is plenty of room and the bluetooth capabilities are awesome. I will buy a newer model one in the future. I recommend it highly.
