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.

  #1 purchased vehicle on planet - 2007 Toyota Corolla
  By Toyota Tuff - November 30 - 1:23 pm

  Well if you get down to it, the Corolla is the highest purchased vehicle in the world due to popular demand. 42 MPG, affordable, dependable, sporty, and talk about resale. I drive a Tahoe that I love and we needed a vehicle for my wife and looking at reviews on this car it is the highest rated and most purchased. There are a lot of other vehicles out there cheaper, but when I buy a vehicle I would like it to hold its value so when I trade it in I can get what its worth. Anyone looking to purchase a car need to purchase the Corolla or the Camry.

  This car has given me only one worry and that was a fault starter after I owned the car for 5 years. Great car to have in college you just have to add gas and change the oil!!

  This vehicle could be better built. - 2003 Toyota Corolla
  By C Foltz - November 30 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this vehicle for a little over a month now. On 2 seperate occasions I had to put the vehicle into the body shop to repair the doors due to dents received from vehicles parking next to me. Its probably due to the vehicle being so low to the ground. The body side moldings do not protect the vehicle. What the vehicle needs is dent resistant panels on the doors like the saturn vehicle has. ( I did not know this until afterI bought this vehicle. I am sorry I did not buy a saturn ).

  forget civic - 2003 Toyota Corolla
  By motown - November 30 - 2:00 am

  The new design on the corolla puts it head and shoulders above other cars in its class. From the rear it resembles the near luxury lexus is300s. The drive and handling are excellent for an economy vehicle. The reliability of Toyota vehicles has never been in doubt...what sets the toyota apart from the second best car in its class (in my opinion) the honda civic, is that 2003 corollas standard features would cost several thousand dollars

  Decent Car For The Price. - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By aaaaa - November 28 - 10:00 am

  A pretty good car, I got it for under invoice so I dont really have much to complain about. Toyotas have a great record for reliability but Im disappointed with the build quality. Gaps are already starting to appear in the plastics surrounding my audio console and dash. There is a rattle in the steering column. Dashboard controls (HVAC, Audio, etc) feel cheap, the plastic feels weak compared with the older toyotas. Trunk lid feels cheap and flimsy but doors have a nice solid feel to them. Stock tires (Goodyear Integrity All- Season) are terrible, can easily lose traction when accelerating and tend to squeal when taking corners a little fast.

  The Excellence of Toyota - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By Deb Smith - November 24 - 2:00 am

  I recently purchased my first Toyota Corolla LE: What a sweetheart she is! I could not have asked for a better car at ANY price. She handles beautifully, starts when most other cars will not (the cold weather), corners like a dream, and looks like a "doll." I am very pleased to give my "Philly" a high mark of excellence in auto manufacturing. I would, indeed, buy another Toyota Corolla in a heartbeat!
