Enjoyed it while I had it but decided to trade in. - 2013 Toyota Corolla
By camrygirl2 - May 31 - 11:13 pm2013 Corolla LE w/ complete package. Cute, stylish & economical car. Was averaging around 30-34 mpg in town. Full tank gets you 400 miles + . Had steering wheel issue but the problem was fixed by dealership under warranty. Touch screen display not as responsive & had to push it a couple times. Entunes could use some improvement. The sound system is nice. Loved my sunroof. Sometimes its much nicer to drive a smaller car because you can make quick u turns & fit into smaller parking areas. I really liked this car but it didnt have enough power for me. I didnt feel comfortable merging on to busy freeways/highways. Also space & leg room felt kind of tight. Other than that this is a great car.

Not as cool but definitely reliable! - 2013 Toyota Corolla
By Chi Hin - July 28 - 4:03 pmThis car maneuvers around busy streets and the freeways pretty easily. The electric power steering was a little hard to get used to because the steering wheel turned so easily especially when driving 40+ mph but I don’t even notice a difference at all now. This is a great and reliable vehicle to look stylish in for a price that’ll keep your wallet happy. I do miss driving V6 engines at times because I came from mostly bigger engine vehicles but this corolla will get you from point A to point B with no problems as long as you’re keeping up with the maintenance and oil change intervals. I strongly recommend this car.

Love my Toyota Corolla - 2013 Toyota Corolla
By C. Thompson - May 26 - 8:48 pmI was having to replace my 2001 Mazda MPV and was looking for something that was comfortable and easy to get in and out of. Was interested in a small SUV or crossover; however, I saw this little beauty on the lot and it had less than 6,000 miles on it! Took it for a couple of rides. Love the acceleration and the drivers seat is comfortable for me, though maybe a little lower to the ground than I would like at my age. Banking on Toyotas reputation and Edmunds review, I bought it and am very happy so far.

Great car but needs some improvements - 2013 Toyota Corolla
By amit8 - March 26 - 3:17 pmIt has been more than a month and I am happy with my Toyota Corolla S car. It has nice interior and built in touch screen display for bluetooth smart phone connection, radio/CD buttons. S trim doesnt have variable wipers. All your smartphone contacts are visible and thats a great feature on display. The interior is also nice and spacious compared to Sentra in the same class. S trim doesnt have intermittent variable wipers compared to LE. Its 0.7 inch shorter than LE. Makes lot of noise and vibration when it changes gears to high but then its pretty smooth. When climbing uphill, it sometimes smells gas. It has good pick up (torque) but not like previous corollas.

Wow - 2013 Toyota Corolla
By dman777 - December 20 - 8:35 amI just bought a 2013 Corolla S loaded. I am still in the high from it. I can tell you that thing is nice! Its not a boring ride at all. I have plenty of power for traffic maneuvering. I love how it has a luxury ride feel and how spaciousness the cabin is. I think it looks very cool and hip...especially at night. Not plain like some others say. This thing is sharp on the outside also...very sporty. I really made a wise decision buying this. Not only is it cool and stylish, but it will last many years to come thanks to Toyotas quality. I wish I had a garage to preserve it.

2013 Corolla white paint mismatch - 2013 Toyota Corolla
By notoyotaagain - December 14 - 10:19 amDecided to give Corolla a try, bought new from dealership. Huge mistake!!! In the light you cant tell as well, but overcast and evenings its horrible. Front fender does not match hood and front doors, front doors do not match rear doors, rear doors do not match quarter panels. Dealer admitted seeing problem and called corporate Toyota. Corporate said since we see it on all white Corollas, it is "normal". Took to arbitration (as "required" by Toyota before court) who also sees mismatch but does not deem it to be a "defect" Im not talking about the horribly mismatched bumpers here, but the metal panels. If you dont like feeling you got screwed, dont get a white Corolla

Toyota corolla... Do you have to say anything else? - 2013 Toyota Corolla
By gdogpile - May 3 - 1:01 pmDo careful research and test driving and there really is only one option and no competitors. You simply cant find a car with the size comfort quietness and safety. Plus fuel economy is the same as the yaris and the echo before it except in town. Reliability... Its a toyota. Just change the oil and it will keep running forever. We live in our car and put about 800 km on it every week. I upgraded for the 2008 Yaris. It makes sense they dropped the Yaris sedan, for just a bit more you get a car you could live in with the same gas milage. Yaris had legendary dependably but it was a point A to B kinda car. To spend money on any other compact would be a a choice that is not based on facts.

My lease is ending & I am thankful it is. - 2013 Toyota Corolla
By yoo - March 29 - 4:12 amTo get going on the freeway on-ramp, I literally have to floor it to get my 2013 Corolla LE up to speed of traffic. The shifting of gears jolts my car forward when trying to accelerate and I hate it. If I am going through a yellow light, I am afraid my car wont make it sometimes because of how bad the acceleration is. I also had to get the radio and "sun roof open button" replaced because the white writing was coming off. I only had the car for 1 year when the writing started coming off and they told me not to use hand sanitizer and touch the writing...a bit upsetting. Taking this car on trips is also upsetting because of the space inside. The car is very compact, especially in the front seat (Great trunk space though.) This car is great for a first car, maybe for a new driver, but it was not for me.

My Third Corolla - I Really Like It - 2013 Toyota Corolla
By bobnc3 - March 28 - 1:05 amTraded my 08 Corolla CE for the 2013 L because of a great deal at my favorite dealer. Only thing I didnt like was the compulsory power windows and locks. Shame the pure base car is no more. Love the Continental OEM tires. First good ones on my 3 Corollas. The Integrity tires on my first two were dumped before 10K for Michelins.

Great car so far - 2013 Toyota Corolla
By yankees102110 - March 17 - 4:29 amI bought the car brand new back in April. So far 8,000 miles and no issues. I am averaging around 30mpg. This is my first Toyota Ive always owned ford focuses, I test drove the 2013 focus and hated the way the transmission felt. I have no problem at all with the 4-spd transmission that the corolla offers and the car has plenty of peep when i need it. I love the electronic steering. I have the premium package so it comes with the 17 inch rims and the sunroof.
