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.

  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.

  Not a Bad Car - 2010 Toyota Corolla
  By yan - October 8 - 7:26 pm

  Full tank, I get about 360 miles before the gas light comes on and refill is around 11 gallons. Overall Im satisfied with the car. The recall was a system wide measure that Toyota took to make sure that they would gain our confidence and Im not concerned, knock on wood. They even said that not all cars are affected. Steering is a problem, the car veers from side to side like having a gust of wind hitting the car. I could never keep the car straight on the road, it gets worse as I gradually increase speed. I took it to the dealer to check my alignment and it fixes the problem...mostly. I would still feel a slight drift, but not as bad as before.

  For the Price, It is Well Worth It!!! - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Alexiander Soler - October 5 - 9:10 am

  The price that was paid for this vehicle, I would have to say that it is well worth it. The Corolla LE is extremely comfortable, reliable, and fun to drive. It saves me plenty of money on gas, where as there are times that I do not have to fill the tank for at least two weeks. I think that I made the right choice on this one.

  Im satisfied! - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By big fan - September 30 - 1:43 pm

  Have had my 2001 LE with 4-speed automatic almost 4 years and I can honestly say Im 100% satisfied with the car - the mileage is very good, checked it today and I got 31.3 mpg on my last tank - car handles well and the engine is quiet - I did have to replace the blower motor at 22,000 miles but luckily it was still under warranty - if I had to to it over Id get the same car only a different color - dark colors show everything -

  Best Car I Ever Owned - 1998 Toyota Corolla
  By Donna - September 29 - 7:36 pm

  I am amazed that I still have the original muffler and pipes on this car! I have it serviced regularly and never had any "surprise" problems with it. Its got over 90,000 miles, is fuel efficient and I love it because its dependable, not because its "fun to drive". Maybe Ill upgrade to the Camry next time but Im sure happy with my Corolla!

  2009 Toyota Corolla LE - 2009 Toyota Corolla
  By thaip - September 28 - 1:36 am

  It is a great car for driving to work and local shopping. The mileage is incredible, I am averaging between 35 to 38 so far, including local and highway. The car has decent horsepower but the interior is looking a little cheap. Overall, it is a great car and I cant complain!

  Love My Corolla - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By jenniajoy15 - September 23 - 10:00 am

  I love this car! I get 35-41 MPG (highway).Seats are comfortable & front is very roomy.Speakers are great.Lots of little storage areas.Trunk is big.Pick up is good.Cruise control works great.Rides smoothly and handles well.Only complaints which dealership will look at: AC is not very cold.Console/dash around radio and gear shift scratches too easily & shows fingerprints(at least they can be wiped away).Seat cushions are already showing their wear.Area where back meets butt is balling up.Otherwise, I am so pleased with this car.I would buy another one and wouldnt think of buying anything but a Toyota!!
