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.

  07 Toyota Corrola LE - 2007 Toyota Corolla
  By Karron Boaz - August 9 - 1:20 am

  Just have had my 07 Corolla LE for not quite 1 year now and the computer is going out in it. The Toyota dealer said that this is common in the Corollas and they have them on order. Bought the car as a certified used in 08. I still love my car and Toyota will replace it. Happy with their service very much so.

  This Corolla S Really Hugs the Road... - 2016 Toyota Corolla
  By Cynthia Costa - August 7 - 1:15 pm

  It was a choice between the S Premium and the LE Premium but I knew I wanted a Corolla! Ive been driving Corollas since 1992 and it has been my favorite model of all the Toyota cars. I also owned a Camry XLE for the last four years but didnt like how it handled in the New England winter weather; too much car with not enough traction control. If you want a more cushioned ride, go for the LE model; but if you want to feel the road and have more control of the handling, go for the S model. I chose the S Premium because I wanted to upgrade to the luxury of heated SofTex seats, moonroof and an awesome Entune Audio System with Hands-free Phone capability.

  Great All Around - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Mike - August 7 - 9:33 am

  Great car for many different uses. Large driverspace! Im 65" 265 and I fit in there somehow. The rearview mirror creates a blind spot for me. Great gas mileage. Great trunk space! Road handling is nimble and can handle cornering well when pushed to the limit.The base model Corolla and the S model share the exact same engine. I would have boosted the engines horsepower output. Maybe use the Camry motor found in the new Scion tc. The manuals gearing is so long 55 mph can be reached in 2nd gear at 6500 RPM! Also the vvti kicks in too late in rpm range making it almost useless.

  Great Car - 2006 Toyota Corolla
  By kptak17 - August 3 - 8:40 am

  I recently switched from driving a truck, so my opinions are skewed a bit. I personally dont like being low to the pavement or the small mirrors compared to what my truck used to be, but the gas milage is awesome! Its a sharp looking car with a comfortable ride. The positives far outweigh the two negatives I mentioned earlier, but those are due to the change in vehicle type, I would be saying that about any car that I would have chosen. I recommend this car.

  The Best Of Several Worlds - 2006 Toyota Corolla
  By Flash Gordon - July 29 - 12:13 am

  I work & stay 100 miles from home so the car gets a regular dose of highway driving to return home. Performance is excellent! The car does not want to stay at the speed limit and given the opportunity, would be a favorite of state police. I actually forget when I last filled the tank. Gas mileage is excellent. The 4 speed automatic works great and when I kick down to pass, it downshifts at highway speed. This little car will get going! How can they couple such performance with miserly gas consumption? I had economy vehicles in the past that when floored, offered a slight difference in engine noise but no "GO". The days of the "economy" cars (spelled "DOG") have changed forever.

  GO COROLLA - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By Tom Zarkos - July 28 - 2:00 am

  I traded in my 2003 Honda Element for the new 2004 Toyota Corolla S Type. The Element was not fuel efficient at all and didnt handle weather conditions well. Also, there were many blind spots in the vehicle especially when you stow the back seats. The moon roof and back windows were too far back to reach. Everything but the front windows and side mirrors was manual. Corolla had it all including daytimer light switch, passenger seat belt alert,moon roof upfront, awesome stereo system, and the look and feel of a luxury car.

  My first new car - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By lspark658 - July 28 - 2:00 am

  I sold my much-loved 88 Corolla for the 04 LE Model and although I miss the great fuel economy of the 88 (I got 40+ mpg), I LOVE my new car. It looks good inside and out, feels safe and is very comfortable to drive. Im told that mpg will improve after I reach 1000 miles...I sure hope so...

  Ordinary with Hiccups - 2007 Toyota Corolla
  By kk2482 - July 26 - 1:27 pm

  I purchased my 07 Corolla brand new. It now has over 60k miles. My car is immaculately maintained. Sorta fun to drive. Comfortable seats. Great reaction time when driving. Only hiccups Ive had: The keyless entry for some reason stopped working about four months ago. Dealership says I need to get it reinstalled and they dont cover it. Yet my friend with an 03 Corolla has never had her keyless entry maintenanced and it works flawlessly. Odd. Oh also sometimes the windows dont work. The driver side door lock button will not unlock the doors, yet it will lock them. Electrical issues are popping up everywhere seems like. Good car overall, minus hiccups. Hope this helps!
