Toyota Corolla Change Vehicle

"I enjoy my Corolla because it is a manual and I have more and faster control. It performs well on acceleration. The handling is good, but even better when I have heavy items in my trunk. The car responds well to sudden necessary evasive maneuvers."

"I'm surprised for a little engine and relatively modest horsepower, this car has decent pickup and acceleration, and maneuvers well in traffic during lane changes."

"Still fun to drive after 12 years. Good acceleration and steady braking (even without ABS)"

"Peppy and solid handling"

"it takes a corner very tight; get a comfy ride with suspension. I would prefer more cushion for lumbar on driver's seat--but overall, very happy with model. I know models are upgraded every 10 years--so, I was happy to find one when I did, as used corolla's of this model were scarce when I was looking to buy."

"My model wasn't listed. It is not a CE, LE, etc., but it a performance model called the 'X'. I do appreciate its acceleration and handling for a small sedan that delivers good fuel economy."

"Drive, comfortably, gas mileage, dependable."

"Very good"

"Handling and performance are boring. Car leans too much when going around corners."

"Nice handling and sufficient acceleration"

"Responsive auto with good acceleration."

"This car loves to drive and has been incredibly reliable. It has hair-trigger brakes and a very fast acceleration, so the first time driving it is quite exciting. The paint has cracked off in the hot sun, so it looks pretty awful, but it really is a good car for getting from A to B."

"Pretty good acceleration for a 4 cylinder engine."

"I get excellent feel for the road and what the vehicle is doing. Really enjoy using the stick shift too."

"Acceleration is leasurely but I expected that because it is an economy car."

"Acceleration is adequate, and although its not a BMW, it handles pretty well for an economy sedan."

"Good acceleration."

"14 year old car still takes off from a standing start. good brakes and steering."

"Decent acceleration for a compact car"

"It has amazing power acceleration, responds quickly and is great when trying to pass or get out of the way of another vehicle. It steers easily and responds well. It has one shortcoming that I think could be improved upon, that is the range of viewing from front window...it could be wider."

"Fairly stable"

"This car handles very well, especially considering it’s age. Also, it gets excellent gas mileage."

"Acceleration is still good. Handling is predictable"

"Quick acceleration is somewhat sluggish but with a 4 cylinder it what can you really expect"

"Very easy to handle. Very responsive, great visibility"

"Excellent handling and acceleration."

"It still handles well. It never had great acceleration but does fine for a 4 cylinder."

"comparatively quiet ride. mpg. surprising acceleration."

"Engine is fairly noisy accelerating. Road noise is a greater than I would wish. Handling is predictable, stable, and fairly quick. Breaking is very good; pedal forces are easy and predictable to modulate."

"Acceleration and handling are very good for a 4 cylinder vehicle"

"A little week in the engine department but it does have over 200k miles on it."

"good acceleration, handles great in all weather"

"Road noise gets to us after a fashion."

"The seats are very comfortable and I like that I sit up high and can see well in the car. I hate the car is so loud. I have to turn the music up too high and it is sometimes difficult to hear a caller's conversation"

"The primary driver is my wife who is smaller in stature and can never get the seat belts to fit comfortably. The car is used for short local trips as reflected in the poorer gas mileage."

"Blower motor lost two fan speeds."

"Stiff ride and can be a noisy ride."

"like the "tight" ride seats good for short person very noisy interior; difficult to hear sound system (even though sound system is good quality) when driving at highway speeds"

"Ride is a bit noisy"

"After driving the car for several years it seemed like road noise at higher speeds became more noticeable. General field of vision (including rear) is pretty good. Dashboard controls are easy to see and use."

"The driver's seat loses it's bounce and gets hard. I have to use a rubber donut to not feel the bumps."

"Everything OK. I am very short and the driver's seat will go up far enough for me to drive safely."

"The car is very noisy."

"Lots of road noise but pretty comfortable interior overall"

"Too loud of road noise"

"Seats are hard."

"Short seats create cramps in back of upper legs on longer trips."

"It is not as quiet as I would like. Seating is comfortable although it might be a problem for tall drivers."

"This car accelerates smoothly, rides well and smooth with low road noise."

"The seats are comfortable except for the fact that the headrest pushed your head forward so you cannot sit up straight."

"ComfortAble enough for a 4600 mile trip. Just noisy! If my lease get repeated the voice on the smart phone. Otherwise no. Mostly wind noise."

"Not as comfortable as other car (Taurus SEL)"

"Road noise I pretty good. Ride is ok but that is what I expected"

"wind noise"

"There is a lot of wind noise when driving. The seals around the rear doors were replaced numerous times under warranty but never really were repaired completely."

"The cabin is noisier than desired. The seats are not comfortable on long trips over 100 miles. The ride is bumpier than anticipated."

"The seats are not uncomfortable but not special. The noise level is higher than I want."

"seats are uncomfortable on longer rides"

"Ride is reliable but noisey. Seats front and rear are acceptable"

"reliable to still have a good value after many years"

"Hands down the best car I've ever owned since 1961. Dependable, reliable, still looks as new except for a few chips on the front."

"Excellent gas mileage and reliability. Low maintenance cost."

"The price was good. Fairly comfortable seats. Heater and AC work well. Road noise is somewhat loud. MPG is fantastic! 40 MPG on a trip. Enough power for 2 people. A little under powered for 4 people. Ride is acceptable but certainly not luxury. Very economical on long trips. Easy to drive and park. Tires are cheap when replacing. Original battery still going after 14 years."

"Reliable"

"This car gets decent mileage. No major problems. Dependable. These are the things I care about."

"I have put 280,000 miles on with no engine problems and just now put new struts on. Engine burns very little oil and is still has pretty good power considering the mileage."

"Very dependable with usual maintenance"

"Extremely low maintenance vehicle, but noisy."

"Solid, low maintenance and dependable"

"My Corolla has 204,000 miles on it, and I've not had any major issues. They built it well, and I have benefited from that."

"Reliable"

"It has been a terrific car ....few problems, low maintenance"

"I now have 190000 miles on this car. I have never had any problems beyond normal wear and tear items like tires or the battery. Everything else (clutch, brakes, muffler, suspension, heater, a/c and so on ) is factory original. Remarkable !"

"Overall good value, amazing gas mileage on highway still, Repairs have been regular maintenance only Has been a reliable vehivle"

"costs are very low"

"In 12 years [110,000 miles] the only repair was a new starter, as the solenoid started acting up."

"I bought it used with just 20,000 miles. It's been very reliable. It's not electronic (windows, doors....) so nothing breaks! It works, and starts up every day. Good car. Drives well, parks easily. I'm short and can see around it, rear view mirrors good. Not a lot of fuss -- just a good, basic car."

"The most reliable car I have ever owned. Except for brake pads and light bulbs I have NEVER had to repair anything in 109,000 miles."

"Great little car for the money."

"Great value for the money!"

"Excellent gas mileage. Never had this car repaired. Only complaint is the airbag recall."

"Has been very reliable and economical."

"I've owned Toyota before, purchased new. This is the first used vehicle I've purchased. Even my previous Toyota, at 12 years old and totaled (not my fault) was worth a lot more than I expected. They hold their value. I've been extremely satisfied with Toyota's performance and value for what I paid."

"good value and reliability"

"Dependable"

"Great Toyota quality. The rear suspension had a very noticeable creaking, with the handbrake applied, when passengers got into the rear seats. The dealership refused to fix it."

"THIS CAR JUST KEEPS ON GOING AND GOING. WE HAVE SPENT NO MONEY ON MAJOR CORRECTIONS AFTER 200,000 KILOMETERS."

"can't go wrong with a corolla"

"It has 423,000 miles on it. It's a manual and other than regular oil changes, replacing brake pads and a new clutch, I have had no additional repairs. The car is an outstanding value. I continue to get 38-40 mpg on highways and about 32 mpg in the city."

"Good price, good value"

"The only dissatisfaction is passenger-space is a bit limited : front seat space too short.; back seat spec too short for all."

"Fantastic older car, had it since 2004 and it has been great as a 2nd vehicle."

"The cost of this car for the value is exceptional. It runs great and rides well. This car's outward appearance shows its age but the remainder is a solid reliable vehicle."

"Before I got this car I used to get a new car every 5-6 years. This car has held up so well I have kept it more than twice as long and it is still going strong. Most people are surprised to know how old it is. Other than oil changes and air filters I had no maintenance expenses in the past year."

"Still looks and drives like new."

"I have never gotten the mileage I expected out of this vehicle, now or 14 years ago."

"My car is 14 yrs old. Never had any major mechanical problem, driven daily and in all kinds of weather and never broke down for any reason. It has been maintained well, and is still very reliable. It is easy to handle, has good "pickup" speed, comfortable to ride, just the right size for my taste, and roomy enough for passengers. Had two minor "fender benders" in 14 years and some minor incidents in the parking garage at work where on three different occasions other drivers some driver "hit and ran" leaving slight dent or scratches. This is over the 14 years while working. I LOVE my Toyota! (oh, and also, just now showing some tiny hints of rust!!"

"It runs. It goes and goes. There is rarely a problem. It is easy to park. It doesn't need oil between changes. I go for up to a year between changes because of my low mileage. It's utterly reliable and fairly easy to park."

"This car is reliable and keeps on running!!"

"Very reliable car for the money"

"Extremely reliable transportation, great value!"

"Most value I have ever gotten out of a vehicle. Maintenance costs have been low throughout the life of this vehicle and it has been supremely dependable."

"In 18 years of driving the car - primarily in town - we have only one repair made - the starter [solenoid stuck once]. I can always count on the car being ready to go. I always carefully maintain my vehicles, and replace the synthetic oil in them every 5000 miles."

"Reliable car; good gas mileage. Still drives just like it did when new. Good visibility. Relatively low maintenance costs."

"Definitely a good value for the price."

"Very reliable and good gas mileage for a very good price."

"Got a great car for the price and have had very little unscheduled maintenance. Most reliable car I’ve ever owned."

"Great price has been rewarded by 15 years of superb service."

"No repair problems, yet, no maintenance costs beyond the ordinary, dependable and mostly trouble free car."

"Extremely reliable, economical to run, and economical to purchase"

"Few repairs and a lot of miles"

"An excellent vehicle. Drives well, looks good. Has had normal wear and tear and no dramatic failures"

"A boring, but extremely reliable vehicle. We have no desire to replace it!"

"I have had this car since 9/03, and it runs great and gets good mileage"

"It was purchased as an economical vehicle and has proven to be fuel efficient and very reliable. This makes it a very good choice for value as it is low maintenance cost and fuel cost."

"The car is 13 years old and still in good condition."

"Has run like new since 2004. Maintenance cost has been minimal. Reliable commuter car that can easily carry 4 adults or 2 adults and 3 kids. Fuel economy has been excellent. Great car!"

"Has been so solid....My wife drives in to and from school every day...never had a problem"

"unbelievable reliability"

"Great value - looks good - easy and cheap to ,maintain."

"Over 211,000 miles and have had very few problems besides routine maintenance ( nothing significant) Still runs great !!"

"Reliable car"

"Nothing ever goes wrong with it, reliability is excellent."

"Had not even one issue mechanical or otherwise in 13 years. Fun to drive and handles well."

"Exterior style looks awkward."
