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.

  New to Corolla - 2009 Toyota Corolla
  By Huxley - July 31 - 1:50 am

  If you want to save on gas but still want to buy something thats has some style to it, this is your car. I loved the redesigned look of the latest Camry when it out, and this new 2009 corolla is like a smaller version of the Camry. The exterior of the S model is beautiful in person, most pictures dont do it justice I think. The interior is nice and there is plenty of room for a family of five. Myself, my wife and our 3 girls (one who is still in a safety-seat). The JBL stereo upgrade is well worth it, it sounds great with plenty of deep bass, and the added Bluetooth support that comes with it is a God sent. We are so glad we chose the Corolla, it fits us just fine!

  2005 XRS - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Bobbi Hammaker - July 30 - 10:00 am

  I just purchased this car after doing extensive research! I LOVE THIS CAR! I bought a 2003 Corolla S in 2003, and when I found out that they were coming out with the XRS for 2005 I had to have it! Well needless to say after waiting for months for my car to arrive (I ordered it in March)I finally took possesion of my vehicle 2 weeks ago, and I have not 1 bad thing to say! It was well worth the money, and I look forward to seeing what they come up with next!!! On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate this car an 11! Good job Toyota!

  Happier every day with my purchase! - 2003 Toyota Corolla
  By jp999999 - July 22 - 10:00 am

  This car has been great to own so far. It has plenty of room and is very comfortable. I am averaging about 37 mpg and am waiting to see how it does on an extended trip. It seems like a scaled down camry and i have no complaints so far. I expect to feel the same at 120K miles...!

  Still Reliable - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By RCOBB - July 21 - 7:00 am

  I bought this car with 97,000 miles in 2008 from a certified dealer. This is my 3rd Corolla. The Gas Mileage on the street is 30-33 mpg, only when I drive between 35mpg and 42mph. The cars elevated height has a PRO & CON. CON: when backing up (or making a turn at a low curb) it becomes difficult hard to judge the distance of the car behind me, or the curb below. PRO: rocks, curbs and parking blocks wont scratch the bumper, or my under-siding at all. The Seats are comfortable enough for a little car. And at 57, I can sleep in it, for a few hours, reclined. The sun visor hits the rear-view mirror. I change my oil before 3,000 miles. And I change Trans fluid once a year. No repairs so far.

  I love my car! - 2010 Toyota Corolla
  By atardi - July 17 - 3:56 pm

  This car is the best one Ive ever had. Its built nice and it looks nice. This car drives smoothly and its way to good on gas. I had an 1997 mazda protege and if you know that car its a lot smaller than the toyota i have now, but that car spent double on gas than what my Toyota Corolla 2010 does and the miles i put is what i have driven so far in 6 months. Oh and at stadium Toyota they treat you so great even after you have already purchased the car.

  Owned a 1999 Corolla - 2003 Toyota Corolla
  By cpoled - July 16 - 10:00 am

  A mini Camry.Not a whole lot of power but on the highway can scoot. A higher (seat position)and smoother ride than older Corollas.(Used to feel just about every pebble and crack)But not with car. A solidly built car that is gas conscious. I can park just about anywhere.Fun to drive.I LOVE this car.

  Honda lost a sale - 2014 Toyota Corolla
  By flyhi152 - July 16 - 7:54 am

  I was going to buy a Honda Civic but then I changed my mind because the red color is only available with a disgusting beige interior, the seats reminded me of my grandfathers TV couch. So I bought a Corolla S-Plus with the convenience package. I just returned from a 700 mile test drive to Los Angeles. What I can say is that I am less tired now compared to the same trip in other vehicles. Driving at speeds of up to 80 mp/h feels like driving 60 in other vehicles. The noise level is low, the suspension and steering are excellent, the climate control is very user friendly.

  Better cars available than the Corolla - 2010 Toyota Corolla
  By Vijay - July 15 - 5:06 am

  Toyota of Dallas has great Customer Relations, Service, and New Car Sales. Im satisfied with them. I am not satisfied with this car. My commute is 6 miles local one-way. I average 22-23 mpg. The steering is stiff, there is a huge driver side blind spot, tire noise is very noticeable, the ABS engages even at low speeds and makes a whirring sound. Cornering and braking doesnt inspire confidence. Acceleration is jerky. Interior is cheap quality with lots of plastic. Look at the flimsy rear cup holders! I wish the headrests and armrests were softer. Lastly my change holder broke already after two months and I didnt use it once. I like the mud flaps, rear bumper protector, cargo net and tray.
