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.

XRS is a good compromise - 2005 Toyota Corolla
By mattie_me - March 13 - 10:00 amOne drive and I had to buy this thing - its nice enough to take your grandmother to church in - yet crazy enough to go go rip it up in the curves chasing that R32... It doesnt seem like its as fast as it really is and the guy in the WRX will give you a wierd look when he has a great deal of trouble passing you.... Its not going to beat an awd car from a light (for that youd want a neon) but it is one of the best all around packages of comfort, economy, safety, reliability, and sportiness that you will find for 20 grand.

False mpg claims - 2011 Toyota Corolla
By smithy6 - March 11 - 5:18 pmI have had this car for 6 months. The mpg/epa fuel economy stated on the original sticker is way too high. I am lucky to get 17 mpg city driving; not on hwys. much at this time. Two local dealers service reps. said they have heard similar, it is a national issue. The national call center is checking with them, but said not all of their cars will achieve even the minimum 21 mpg. One dealer reset the computer and tire pressure, still no difference. Both dealers said I have to drive it 5,000 mi. to see any better performance. That wasnt on the contract and I wont drive that much for the next 6 months. Plus the tank only holds max. 12 gallons.

Could not kill it! - 1999 Toyota Corolla
By themanindbox - March 11 - 3:41 amWell, I owned a 99 corolla from new until 2005 when I sold it for 4 grand. At that point it had a little over 315K miles on it, didnt burn oil, no lights, and everything that was in it worked. I had to replace oil every 3k miles, but that is about it. It handled better then a civic, got better mpg, and was faster off the line, not to mention cheaper to insure. I would love to get my hands on a 99 corolla with a blown motor with the options I had in mine, it is a perfect candidate for a 2zz swap. I have owned over 18 cars in my life, and nothing on the planet will take a beating like a Toyota. Not Honda, and nothing American can come close.

Transmission issues - 2003 Toyota Corolla
By Lynette Morris - March 10 - 2:00 amWhen Toyota redesigned this vechile they did a great job. I had a Camry and when it died I drove the 2002 Corolla and hated it, but fell in love with the 2003. Like everyone else there are alot of rattles and shakes in this car, but mainly I have had major transmission problems. I have an automatic and sometimes it will not shift up in gears. It revs at 3000 RPMs and I have to put it in reverse to correct it. Ive had it at Toyota 4 times and they said they can not find the problem until the Engine light comes on. I am literally afraid to drive it. Toyota designed a great car but their service has downgraded big time.

Good, reliable, no frills drive - 1997 Toyota Corolla
By nycjen - March 10 - 12:43 amIf you dont feel the need to impress folks with the car you drive, this car is a cheap and reliable one to drive and way easier to find parking spaces in than trendy SUVs!

Great commuter car! - 2009 Toyota Corolla
By C.S. - March 7 - 7:20 pmAfter test driving Mazda3 and Civic, I decided on the Corolla because of its superior fuel economy, price, and reliability. After 800 miles, Im still very pleased with the purchase. Im averaging 34 mpg overall and its a quick, quality ride. I love the new styling and the simple, elegant interior. I prefer the driving position over the others also. Steering is a little light, but I have gotten used to it. Bottom line - great commuter car from a great company.

Steering - 2010 Toyota Corolla
By Sammy - March 6 - 10:03 pmI have the same problem with steering like the earlier reviewer "Steering is a problem, the car veers from side to side like having a gust of wind hitting the car. I could never keep the car straight on the road, it gets worse as I gradually increase the speed"

Just your average Corolla - 2003 Toyota Corolla
By Toyota Man - March 4 - 10:00 amThe car blows around on the highway when there is wind. You have to keep 2 hands on the wheel. I have the sunroof on my LE and when you pull back the cover it rattles. Good gas milage, good pick up for a Corolla.
