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.

  I love this car! - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By blinkchik - November 22 - 2:00 am

  This car is a peasure to drive. I do only modest driving but the time I spend in it is well appreciated. It rides like a bigger car, smmoth, but with the advantage of tight steering and sufficient pick-up for passing on the turnpike.

  The best car of its class - 2003 Toyota Corolla
  By Daniel B - November 20 - 10:00 am

  An excellent car. Driving is smooth, silent, sound isolation inside is perfect, steering is great, need to use a manual break bar while parked since it adjusts a rear breaks. Convenient features are great. Need to be careful on the freeway if windy -- do not exceed 80 mph -- may be unstable beacause of its design.

  Meets Expectations - 2007 Toyota Corolla
  By Paul - November 18 - 6:03 am

  Today, I have owned my new 07 Corolla LE exactly 3 months. I have over 11K miles on it, 80/20 highway/city at around 73-75 mph, highway. I drive with a light touch and I am getting 34.9 mpg. I anticipated closer to 38. We got this car for economy and reliability. I think the mpg will improve as the car wears in. Handling is ok, acceleration is ok and road noise is ok. It’s an econo-box, not a sports car. We are happy with the car, it has met our expectations. I like the traditional body style.

  Like a good pair of old jeans.. - 1995 Toyota Corolla
  By Carlos-Puerto Rico - November 13 - 8:26 pm

  For me its car # 5...but the best till now and I think that it will be hard to top. I have a 2000 Sienna, but not even this excellent family taxi can top my little warrior. I have had her for 10 years now and I do not have a doubt in my mind that Ill have her for 5 years more... with help from God maybe 20 yrs, even in an island like Puerto Rico which is known to be tough on cars even the tough SUVs.

  As Expected - Reliable Vehicle - 2015 Toyota Corolla
  By tinar0926 - November 10 - 2:55 pm

  Bought my 2015 Carolla, December 2015. I had not purchased a vehicle in 10 years. Was looking for something reliable, updated, fuel efficient, fun to drive and looked good. The Carolla has come a long way since its inception. The styling and design is 21st Century. Its comfortable, drives smooth and looks good. It has everything I wanted in a new car. Was also very pleased with the Dealership I went to and their staff, very helpful. Was able to get what I wanted for the price I wanted!

  By asad9 - November 8 - 5:10 am

  bought it from a used dealer, 137k in 2009. 4yrs later its at 230k. Good on gas, no break downs, just needs gas and oil change. Manage your fluids. Toronto (401 and VP) to niagra on probably 6-7 gas. Friends tell me its ugly, but i tell them there ugly!

  By Yolanda C - November 7 - 6:20 pm

  We purchased this car for our daughter who is a senior in high school and getting ready to go to college in the fall of 2016. She hasnt had it very long but so far so good except its so quiet and smooth that she doesnt realize shes speeding sometimes!! Other than that well definitely know after she runs up and down the highway a few times.

  My first Corolla and really like it so far - 2014 Toyota Corolla
  By donovan1983 - November 7 - 6:17 am

  I traded in a Chevrolet Sonic for this and my fiance and I share this car. I have the "no regrets" model with the Entune system with navigation, moonroof, and keyless ignition. Ive only had it a few weeks but I can definitely say I like it. What attracted me to the car in the first place is the huge number of features for the money. I also wanted a car with a CVT if I had to have an automatic. Fit and finish are excellent and above what I expected for the price. The interior is comfortable and surprisingly spacious and attractive. My fiance and I both enjoy driving it very much. It also looks great, especially in slate gray, which I thought Id never say about a Corolla.
