Great Design & Features

This car has plenty of leg room and is loaded with features. It also will be great for a second car to run around town.

Basic Transportation & Commuter Car

I'm not impressed with its ergonomics. It's adequately comfotable, but for ease of recognition of engine status and use of controls the design is lacking compared to at least one other Japanese import.

Top notch fit and finish all around.

Very high quality assembly and thoughtful interior design. I'm very pleased overall with the comfort , value of features, driving characteristics, and gas mileage. The only two minor complaints I have are: I wish the lane departure warning and steering assist could be active without beeping. I also wish the tires were quieter over 60 MPH on the highway.

Great Reliable Car

I have a Corolla LE. I love how it drives, and I love how historically reliable the model is. In the six months I've owned the vehicle, I've noticed fuel economy goes down in the colder weather, but is still within the listed range. It's very plain, it's very average. This isn't a flashy car. I enjoy how it drives and enjoy the step up it provides from the sub-compact class of vehicles. The features are pretty standard for its class. There's no included apps in the Infotainment system, and navigation is available only through Android and Apple Carplay. The Corolla holds it value very well. I looked at the price of buying a Toyota Certified Used, but decided it was worth the extra few thousand dollars to buy new instead. The two-year/25000-mile Toyotacare no-cost maintenance package that comes with buying new was a definite bonus. I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking for the best combination of affordable, reliability, and potential future value.

I would not buy another one

at lower speeds the CVT transmisson clunks and jerks like a 20 year old golf cart the cruise control is not user friendly, cumbersome process, the buttons hard to hit dealership tells me I have to wait for a "repair bulliten" from Toyota to fix CVT problem apparently all of the CVTs 21 Corollas do the same thing I drove another 21' with Technition same thing clunky trans Teck heard it and felt it too...cant spell sorry

Fuel Efficient and Stylish

This car is a dream to drive. It handles do smoothly on the road. The fuel efficiency is superb. The best features are the backup camera, side view warning caution, and lane change warning. Love the lighted vanity mirror!
