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.

  2004 already! - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By hippoz - November 26 - 10:00 am

  Having owned a 1999 Corolla, it was interesting to see the differences. This vehicle is larger, more comfortable, feels safer. Trunk is a nice size. I dont find the instrument panel to be very attractive as it is so white, not hi-tech looking. Also, the doors dont automatically lock when the car starts as did my 1999 model. The keyless entry does offer the option of opening one or all the doors, a good safety feature. The cup holder was also more convenient on the older model.

  Quick, Fun & Comfortable - 2003 Toyota Corolla
  By smithhayward - November 26 - 10:00 am

  Ive had it for just over 6 months and driving 100 miles a day can put some wear on a person. This car makes the time fly. Whether on a side road or the highway, this car has the necessary pickup to get you going when you need it, and a smooth ride when just crusin along. Interior is superb. Recently rear-ended, I rented a 2002 Honda Accord for two weeks, and boy did that solidify my decision. The interior quality of the Corolla is TOP NOTCH. Soft seats worthy of a 10 hour drive, seating position that accomodates a 6+ driver and gauges and controls all in the right places. Roomy inside for all passengers, and a huge truck top it all off.

  Worry-free ownership - 2010 Toyota Corolla
  By Dave S. - November 24 - 12:39 pm

  We bought this new from dealer. This is the best, most reliable car Ive owned. Owned Thunderbird, Expedition, Civic, Toyota truck, Suburban. Best so far. Never been in shop for repairs. Always had synthetic oil. Runs like a more expensive car. Does 80-85 easily on freeway. Gets decent mileage, especially with K&N filter. The paint is the only negative. Very thin, gets scratched easily. Other than that, weve been very happy with it. Wife does not want to give it up. (I wanted to trade it in.)

  The best little car available - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By Jason - November 22 - 6:36 am

  I bought my corolla over 2 years ago from my mom, she had it for 8 years herself. She never had one problem with it and neither have I. Just replaced the timing belt and thats it besides normal maintenance!! It feels like a 5 year old car with 50,000 yet it has 180,000 and is now 13. If youre looking for reliability this is the car for you.

  Pleasure to drive - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By J. B. Hoehn - November 20 - 11:56 pm

  I purchased my 2005 Corolla LE in January 2005 and absolutely love it. It is very comfortable and the drive is very smooth. I traded in my 2000 MR2 Spyder for this car. I normally only purchase Toyotas that are built in Japan. This car was built in Canada and feels very solid.
