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.

  Great car - 2007 Toyota Corolla
  By Hap - April 11 - 12:00 am

  I have had my car a little under a year, and I love it. It handles real nice. Winter driving is ok, if you drive smart. The best part is gas mileage. I get about 40 MPG. Thats great with the gas prices up right now.

  Reliable But Boring - 2011 Toyota Corolla
  By delrey - April 10 - 9:22 am

  Smooth, quiet engine. Transmission shifts well even though it could use another gear or two. Ive been averaging 34-35mpg with 60% highway. Couldve been better with an 5 or 6 speed. Steering and handling is dull and unresponsive. The car does not give any feed back during cornering nor give any warning when near the limit. Steering is really loose. My wifes 2006 Mazda MPV is a better vehicle to drive. Exterior styling on the S is clean and nice to look at. Interior is simple and easy to look at and functional. Quite basic compared to some competition though. If you need an reliable car with no frills, you found it.

  By KP1234 - April 10 - 2:00 am

  This car is just great. It turns heads all the time. Gas milage is over 30, while not sacrificing power.

  Great Car!!!!! - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By Pd799 - April 10 - 2:00 am

  I have had this car for 3 weeks now. It is such a comfortable car to drive. I am 6tall and it is very roomy inside the car for me. The ride is quiet on the road and it has a smooth ride. This is my first Toyota and so far I am very happy.The wood grain interior looks so much like the Camry. My sister has a Camry and they say the car looks so much like the Camry in Looks.The dealer was GREAT!!! they got me the color I wanted.

  2004 Corolla - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By trcarroll - April 10 - 2:00 am

  Owned a 97 Geo Prizm before and didnt hesitate to buy a 04 Corolla. Unfortunately I did not test drive it close enough. Major problem with steering wheel too close to dash, and an ackward seat/floor. This has resulted in personal left foot problems (Ive called "Toyota foot"). Also problem with rotten egg smell while ideling at a stop. Need to inform passengers that its the car "not me".

  By cheryl - April 9 - 10:00 am

  I have had Toyotas for years and keep returning. They are reliable to a fault. I bring them in for routine servicing with usually no problems to be checked. I am currently shopping for my 4th Toyota

  Love my Corolla - 1998 Toyota Corolla
  By ADwyer - April 8 - 5:53 pm

  I bought my Corolla because I wanted a car that would last, I could depend on, and wouldnt require a lot of unexpected repair cost. I have not been disappointed. I love the gas mileage, I love the realibility (which is second to none.) I have 165K on it today, and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Other than regular maintainence I have put nothing into this car. I think about buying something bigger because of the short backseat, however, I am scared to give up the dependability I have grown to expect.

  Nice car - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By JJ994 - April 5 - 10:00 am

  I have the car for only 5 weeks but so far it has been nice to drive. It is quiet and is good on gas. I am getting 30mpg on the hyw. with a heavy right foot and about 26 mpg city/hyw. I have been from N.Y.C. to Montreal and it cruises nicely at 90mph.
