Overview & Reviews

Well into its fourth decade of production, the compact Toyota Corolla is the best-selling car in automotive history, and for good reason. Small, inexpensive, fuel-efficient and as reliable as the day is long, the Corolla is the quintessential economy car. As long as you change the oil on time and don't hit a tree, any Corolla should provide dependable transportation well past the 100,000-mile mark. That's why so many shoppers keep buying Corollas year after year.

Since its 1968 introduction in the U.S., the Toyota Corolla has come in a variety of body styles, including a sedan, coupe, hatchback and wagon. More recently, however, it has only been available as a sedan. Today's Corolla has almost as much rear passenger space as a midsize sedan and its fuel economy is impressive. Although rivals boast sportier designs and more entertaining driving dynamics, a Corolla is nonetheless an excellent choice for smart consumers on a budget.

  No Buyers Remorse Here - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By dfwtol - October 16 - 10:00 am

  This is the first new vehicle that I have purchased and have not had buyers remorse about (Thanks in partly to the Edmunds price guide). I truly feel that this vehicle is worth the price paid. Interior is modern and does not look or feel "cheap" compared to other models in this price range. The Corolla is a quality car inside and out. I would highly recommed it to anyone.

  It gets the job done! - 2009 Toyota Corolla
  By Hurasame - October 14 - 10:00 am

  My wife totaled our 2006 Corolla LE. Decided we wanted another Corolla but with a little sport. So we purchased the S Model. Car looks sleek and aggressive. I agree with some posters that the paint needs to be more durable. Like maybe 3 or 4 layers. Gas mileage is incredible and you have to love spending about $30 dollars to fill up the tank. I wish though the seats can be adjusted in more different ways and the steering feels at times a little artificial. Other than that, Id buy another Corolla.

  Good MPG for the long trips to the city - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By Jack - October 14 - 7:00 am

  I purchased this car in 2/08 in Tempe AZ and save about $3K instead of buying it in ABQ, NM. Im getting about 38.5 to 41 MPG a week. Car is great on gas and has low engine noise. AC works great and came with most of the options of the LE (i.e., cruise control, tire pressure sensor, power locks and Windows variable speed windshield wipers etc). Good suspension and no interior problems. Seats fold down and tons of trunk space. It been a good little car.

  Rattling Noise, MPG not up there - 2009 Toyota Corolla
  By chewyxrage - October 13 - 10:26 am

  Ive had my Corolla for one year now and have driven it approx. 7,000 miles. I enjoy the car overall but there are some things that really annoy me about it. The panels for the side curtain airbags rattle and it annoys the bejesus out of me. It comes and goes. I have also recently noticed some more rattling noise (again, comes and goes) from the back area of the car. The gas mileage I get driving around the city isnt as good as advertised. It appears to be more like 25 for city driving and 30-33 on the highway. This was my first economy car. Being 63, I fit pretty comfortable in this vehicle. The engine is very quiet and has some quickness for being a 4 banger.

  I think about selling it - 2007 Toyota Corolla
  By Pavel - October 12 - 10:53 pm

  This is my second car - I bought a new one in Nov 2006 (my first car was an old Mitsubishi Galant, which I drove from 60K to 100K miles). Actual mileage (city + some freeway) = 25 mpg. The battery went dead at 6K miles, after I didnt drive for 2 weeks. The car has a good ground clearance, but when I drive on a windy freeway, it feels like the car is going to be blown away. Not enough power entering a short or ascending freeway on-ramp.

  Very pleased - 2010 Toyota Corolla
  By dvd0060 - October 10 - 3:53 pm

  For the money this car is fantastic! The 1.8 liter engines has plenty of get up and go (I was surprised!) great breaks, handling is light and steering was quick and accurate (made it kinda fun to drive). The seats are comfy and theres plenty of room inside. Stability and trac are standard! This car feels more substantial the you might imagine. Low road noise and very absorbent ride, all help make the car feel like quality.

  Corolla Type S 2013 - Automatic - 2013 Toyota Corolla
  By fionn - October 9 - 10:08 pm

  My wife and I purchased this new 2013 model of the Corolla Type S 2013 this week for her birthday and to get rid of her old Saturn. We were not considering the Corolla because in the previous years model we did not like driving this car and felt the interior was too plain. Although there are similarities between the 2012 and 2013 model, some of the improvements were the touch screen digital display in the center of the dash. It allows me to touch navigate through my music and between my artillery devices like my iPhone. The bluetooth pairing was simple. Driving was fun, comfortable, and felt solid. The steering is loose but easy to navigate. The ride is very comfortable.
