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.

  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!

  My First Toyota is Great - 2009 Toyota Corolla
  By M Gamble - September 23 - 12:13 pm

  38.9 MPG. Do I need to say anything else? I travel 30,000 highway miles annually and since purchasing the 2009 in July of 2008, the LE is providing great fuel economy, reliability, technology and above average comfort. The only design flaw is the lack of proper location of arm rests for the drivers seat. This really comes in play on the highway; not as much in the city. Suggestion: If you log the high miles, purchase the bumper-to-bumper package. For the additional $700.00 it will pay itself off in the off-chance this Toyota has a major mechanical failure.

  My 2006 Toyota Corolla CE w/ Man. Trans. - 2006 Toyota Corolla
  By Dean - September 23 - 10:30 am

  This is a very nice compact car. It is small, but rides nice. Its easy to park in tight places and will fit in any garage. It is easy to drive. For a small engine, it does have some pep. I would recommend this car as excellent transportation for those who are not large people, want the best car for the money, and those who want a car that will last them for many years without trouble.

  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!!

  2004 new car - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By ankhlenda - September 23 - 10:00 am

  This is a great driving vehicle if you take off the 2 rear head rests. The stero in it that comes with AM/FM/CD has fair sound quality and the front speakers dont work to well as they are placed toward the bottom of the doors. The console for drinks is in a bad place if you are driving you always have to look down to see that the drink is going in the right place. And the middle console is ackward to get to along with the AC plug in that is inside the middle console.

  Our best car ever! - 2009 Toyota Corolla
  By Dave C. - September 23 - 1:29 am

  Cons: Its noisy on the highway (probably due to limited interior insulation). Pros: Extremely reliable; We bought it new in June, 2008 and now (Oct., 2015) are still driving it with over 132,000 miles. The only real repair, other than the wearables, (tires, brakes, etc.) has been a rear wheel hub replacement ($500. expense) which was necessary due to a bad internal sensor. We found out later that a properly-inserted pipe cleaner might have cleaned off the dirty, not defective, sensor and eliminated even that repair expense. We really like our Corolla and consider it to be our most dependable, and economical vehicle evr. PS: We have been driving for 41 years and have had well over 20 vehicles in that time period.
