  Should have stuck with Civic - 2013 Toyota Corolla
  By berkshirebabe - April 15 - 1:50 pm

  I had a 2008 Civic sedan and was getting itchy for a new car. I looked at the 2013 Civics first and almost bought one, but had trouble with the dealership. So Toyota had 0% financing and I went to look at Corollas. I loved the new red SE--cute and more stylish than the 2013 Civic. I test drove it and it was smaller than the Civic and rode OK, but the controls seemed a little "cheap" and there was not much in-dash storage for things like CDs. I ended up buying the car because I made a great deal on it. Well, 2 weeks later--I miss my Civic like CRAZY! I really feel like I took step down in quality and space. The car is super-tiny inside (and I am only 5 feet tall).

  Dont Rush into it! - 2013 Toyota Corolla
  By mike806 - May 25 - 2:09 am

  I actually just bought a Corolla S a hours ago and I already regret my purchase, I should have gone with the CIVIC or the Sentra, better Gas, more power, more leg room and much better Dash Board Look., I did like the sporty look of the S model, but after a few hours I should have just gone with the Civic, 30 more dollars a month would have been definitely worth it.

  Should have bouth the Civic. - 2013 Toyota Corolla
  By justin82 - September 17 - 1:14 pm

  I was looking at the Civic LX and The Corolla LE. I ended up with the Corolla. The dealer I worked with gave me an ok deal on the car and my trade, but it was the 0% financing that sealed the deal. I will say that I am not impressed with this car at all. It was in the garage 2 different time before I had 500 miles on it. vvt-i gears, both of them. Now Im going to be making another appointment because Im getting a very hard shift from 1st to 2nd gear. I should have went with the Civic.

  2013 Corolla white paint mismatch - 2013 Toyota Corolla
  By notoyotaagain - December 14 - 10:19 am

  Decided 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

  My lease is ending & I am thankful it is. - 2013 Toyota Corolla
  By yoo - March 29 - 4:12 am

  To 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.

  Bluetooth FAIL no voice dialing...very limited while in motion. - 2013 Toyota Corolla
  By mwadeb - February 25 - 11:51 pm

  I actually cant wait to get rid of this car, and Ive only had it 5000 miles. The Bluetooth in the 2014 Corolla does NOT have voice dialing. It really sucks. You cannot even view your contacts while driving. You cannot manually enter a phone number while driving. There are only two ways to make a call while the car is in motion: 1. Calling a recent number (called out or received while in the car). 2. Speed dials, if you have placed that person in your speed dial entry in the car...which is limited in the number of entries. Maybe its my phone, but it only locks up after pairing with the car.
