Toyota Corolla

"Acceleration could be improved as well as engine noise during hard acceleration."

"Drives well and the stick shift is great. Acceleration is good."

"Tires aren't particularly good in curves-----Toyota always puts cheap undersized tires on the 3 new cars I've owned over 25 years. When they wear out U put on a larger size and the car handles much better."

"Very zippy pick up to get to highway speeds quickly. Fun car to drive."

"Excellent handling; very sporty feel, yet comfortable."

"We have had no problems driving this vehicle at all."

"the CV transmission deliver excellent highway mpg, but in town the transmission is sluggish."

"I experience (and I see others do too online) an occasional hesitation when accelerating from a stop when turning) Personally I feel that can be dangerous. I gave it high marks for accelerating and handling because other than that occasional hesitation, it performs well"

"The Handling and acceleration are both excellent, all my friends are impressed of it very quick acceleration when needed."

"This car has a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). I was somewhat leery about this, because I had read bad reviews about cars with this type of transmission, but I am completely satisfied with this one. The acceleration is adequate and the "shifting" is unobtrusive and seamless."

"The CVT transmission took a little while to get used to. The engine revolutions was not always as expected.I thought the CVT would be lackluster but surprised me by being peppeir than expected and giving better fuel economy."

"This car handles like a sports car, and provides the best of both worlds between economy and performance."

"Hard to fit into Parking spaces, doesn't turn or corner well, I'm always near missing adjacent cars... Might be my driving"

"Love the CVT"

"acceleration is reasonable in eco mode, better in sports mode. Handling could be improved."

"When in ECO mode, the acceleration can sometimes be dangerously slow. For example, if I am trying to pullout into traffic, the car will accelerate so slowly that I almost get into accidents with approaching vehicles."

"Acceleration is decent, but not great. Road noise is fairly pronounced. Otherwise it handles all right. Feels somewhat cramps and driver seat. I'm 6'2", and often will hit my head on the door frame just by turning my head. Also don't care for the seat pump to adjust the seat height up and down."

"Seems to rev too much. TERRIBLE in the snow."

"The CVT transmission performs very well, acceleration is good and the transmission shifts smoothly so you never really notice the gears changing."

"A lot of road noise in the cabin"

"It has the very best CVT (Continuously Variable Transmissions); I would not have a car without CVT."

"The CVT and on MPG display make this car very easy to hyper-mile on my commute. Easily getting 40-41 mpg."

"Acceleration, braking, climate control"

"Despite the rear view camera, blind spots (front and rear due to roof posts and headrests) are very bad especially when backing and sometimes when pulling forward into traffic or on a turn."

"suspension is firm and holds road well, a bit too stiff for comfort"

"I find it does not handle well when it is windy."

"acceleration could be improved"

"When needed the acceleration is more than sufficient and I use cruise control whenever I am on a highway so easy to drive."

"no"

"Good but not spectacular acceleration. Solid but not spectacular handling. Excellent stopping."

"Drives and handles well"

"CVT works very well, and car is peppy when needed. Engine noise is not a problem."

"This car is great for acceleration and handling, especially for Los Angeles traffic--it is smooth, responsive and plenty fast enough. I would prefer the whole body to be a little higher so as not to catch on curbs, etc. otherwise it is the perfect driving car for m."

"Poor acceleration unless using Sport Mode, and even then all it does is allow engine to rev higher. Handling is mediocre. Far from a fun driving experience."

"For a 4-cylinder engine, acceleration is very good. It has the newer transmission. Also like being able to switch to a manual-like mode for driving in snow."

"The Continuously Variable Transmission is very responsive and smooth"

"excellent handling auto"

"This car has the perfect blend of performance and economy. It has plenty of power, handles like a sports car, and on a good day can get 40 MPG to boot! This car feels like an extension of myself it handles so well."

"Acceleration is pretty slow. This car needs a more powerful engine. Handling is good. This is not a sports car."

"For the size of vehicle, good handling and acceleration"

"Good enough for me but I’m an old lady"

"I find accerlation very noisy handling adequate"

"Terrific handling, excellent turn radius. Acceleration is just OK, but this was accepted choice for best fuel economy."

"The Corolla accelerates quickly enough to merge safely with traffic and handles pretty well. I’ve never felt unsafe taking turns and the car feels planted with plenty of grip"

"The Corolla feels underpowered compared to its contemporaries. The CVT acceleration is terrible. I have the 6 speed manual and it is better but still not on par with competitors."

"The transmission struggles and whines in cold weather. Dealer said that it 's normal."

"I like the acceleration that it has when it is necessary to pull out into heavy traffic."

"It is really slow to accelerate as well it doesn't handle well. I wish it had more get up and go for being a S model and better handling."

"Very slightly sluggish in pickup, but overall a very pleasant driving experience."

"We mainly use the Toyota for around town driving. It is especially easy to park and maneuver in and out of traffic."

"For 4 cylinder car it accelerates very well and handles great!"

"continuously-variable transmission"

"both are excellent"

"Gas pedal does not give the smoothest acceleration"

"gas mileage"

"Very smooth transmission, easy to drive. Seats can become uncomfortable on long trips."

"Tight suspension; nice cornering."

"It's a surprisingly peppy car, but then again, I'm 73 yo... ;-)"

"Although a little sluggish from dead stop, once my Carolla LE Premium achieves 25 MPH it has plenty of power and acceleration to handle any traffic situation."

"It responds quickly and solidly, no screeching of wheels or shacking of the body"

"For the size of a the vehicle, the ride is quite smooth and quiet. The seats are somewhat uncomfortable and could us a manual or electronic adjustment feature."

"Too noise inside"

"Noise level is good in the Corolla, could be a bit quieter, but better than my other vehicle. Seats are captains chair but would benefit from lumbar adjustment and ventilation. Ride is good, car responds quickly and safely when necessary"

"seats are a little short and edge comes to mid thigh and I'm 5'4" is a little noisy"

"Seats are very comfortable. Excellent! it is noisy, you hear the roar of the road. Ride is very smooth."

"The car rides well, but is exceedingly noisy on the highway. It makes long trips uncomfortable."

"I have a premium LE which even though it does not have lumbar adjustment, it nevertheless is very supportive for long trips. The noise is quiet and the ride suprisingly compliant for a compact."

"Only have 1 complaint, the front defogger isn't powerful enough and doesn't clear window satisfactorily. Ride is fine; when traveling & driving, need to stop & stretch. Are there more comfortable seats, in terms of needing the stop to stretch less often?"

"Seats could be more comfortable, Steering requires too much attention (sensitivity). Noise is acceptable, but could be better damped especially on noisy, rough road surfaces."

"The AC is amazing its like being in front of a giant fan-------heat is not as good."

"This car is "tinish" meaning it does not have a solid feel. It is a noisy and in comfortable ride. I do not see as well as I do from a larger or higher automobiles."

"It is more noisy and the ride is not as smooth as other cars I've had, which doesn't bother me, however. The acceleration is excellent."

"This car is great for my 5'4" wife, but lacks enough legroom in the driver's seat for my 5'11" body. It's okay for short trips but long ones get painful. Otherwise my wife and I are very satisfied with the car. :)"

"The driver's seat area is extremely limited on size and adjustments and therefore not very comfortable."

"I'm a big guy and Corolla isn't, seating can be a bit uncomfortable especially in the back."

"At my age comfort is important. It is so comfortable, I can drive all day and not get tired."

"it is not a luxury car. so the ride is a little rough and noisy, at times.but it is okay."

"There is a lot of engine noise when accelerating"

"a little noisy."

"Road noise is more than I like"

"Fairly noisy, otherwise fine"

"Seats are fine for shorter drives. Longer drives are not as comfortable. I get stiff on longer rides."

"The automatic climate control maintains a precise and steady temperature.."

"Really like the in dash navigation, phone controls and back up camera. Car is comfortable and easy to maneuver and park. Also like the styling and interior finish including leather type seats."

"there are few adjustments to be made both in terms of head rest and seat shape for persons of varied height, leg needs etc. Also the seat shape is not ergonomic and there are insufficient ergonomic adjustments. I routinely have lower back pain, neck pain and hand after driving this vehicle and am not finding suitable solutions. Finally, the newer steering wheels are thicker. Perhaps more sporty?? but for a petite person as I am, my hands become tired using this wheel."

"The "Auto" climate control only works with the dashboard vents which blow right in both the driver & passenger's face. The only way to stop the wind in the face is to have the air on the floor which takes off the automatic temperature control. The Owner's Manual indicates the "Auto" will still work but it doesn't seem like it. The fan never turns down."

"seats very uncomfortable and even tho I am tall I have had to put in a cushion to sit hight enough. This was a used car when I bought it and came with this problem"

"comfort in arm rests is 'okay' for value, sun visors are way to short and do not expand."

"There is more wind noise at highway speeds that I would have expected"

"Quite a bit of road noise is transmitted to the cabin on all but smooth roads. Roads seams come through loudly and as harsh knocks. Climate control is excellent."

"There's not much noise control"

"The ride is quite stiff and noisy."

"The seats are very comfortable but the noise level inside is unusually high. I keep checking to make sure the windows are closed."

"I am tall so I have to "fold" myself into the car, but then there is plenty of leg room."

"Back of driver's seat could use more support."

"Car has "leather" seats which are very hot in the summer. I will never buy this type of seats again."

"Seats are very comfortable. I have been told that the back seats are more comfortable and roomy than this person had ever seen."

"The driver's seat is extremely uncomfortable, even with use of the adjustments available."

"interior needs to be more isolated from road noise and it could use a better antenna."

"The Corolla is a modestly priced vehicle, as cars go. It is generally comfortable, handles very well, gets excellent gas mileage, & generally does what is needed. The touchscreen is bad -- radio-tuning does not respond well, & the screen is almost impossible to read if the sun is out. It's a bit noisy to drive (road noise), but I have never owned a luxury car, so I don't really notice. The seats were very comfortable to begin with, but after 50,000 miles, they have deflated a bit..."

"The driver seating is one that my wife actually enjoys being in"

"seats are not comfortable on long trips."

"Accelerator lunges a bit from a stop. Must change radio stations frequently to keep from listening to static. The roominess of my 2015 is far superior to my previous 2006 Corolla, however my 2006 had automatic lights as a standard feature, but my 2015 does not. Road noise is less in my 2015 than in my 2006, but still needs improvement. The seats are better in my 2015 than in my 2006, but still need some improvement (ok for short trips but not pleasant for long ones). Overall, it's a good car fo"

"It is a little less comfortable then the Camry I had previously but is acceptable"

"Seats are very comfortable for a small car like this. Ride is good as well and noise levels low"

"the seat is uncomfortable - too wide"

"Car is very uncomfortable"

"The ride is noisy. Hard to have a conversation in a normal voice"

"The road noise is a little loud, and after having the Avalon, we find it more irritating on longer drives."

"Seating is extremely comfortable and the back seat is larger than expected. Road noise is a bit loud."

"seats a little stiff and low"

"Passenger seat uncomfortable due to hump in floor."

"just great"

"Too noisy at highway speeds."

"The driver's seat has minimal adjustment capacity, it is too close to the steering wheel and uncomfortable."

"drivers seat sits lower than I would like, model I have does not have power seats"

"It is noisy on certain roads. Conversation is difficult at times."

"The seats are very comfortable, front and back, on long drives. So I’m confident in using my car for passengers. The material is great too since I’m not sliding around."

"Seats are very comfortable."

"Fair"

"Good adjustability of seat distance and back angle. Wish it had heated seats. Noise levels and ride are fine"

"not ergonomic - always get lower back ache and muscle spasms - no way to adjust adequately. upsetting many autos have one size fits all, and the seats are poorly designed."

"The Corrolla seats are comfortable and not too soft. The ride in the car is good but not great. I like to "feel" the road. Noise is good except for acceleration due to the CVT which can be disconcerting until you get used to it."

"Long trips are sometimes uncomfortible."

"Heat shield came unattached (very bad design there) and is very noisy and hard to access to fix."

"Seats fit me well and are the right firmness. Pleasant being in the car. Quiet."

"The biggest comfort issue for me is road and wind noise. I have tinnitus, and often when I drive at highway speeds, the noise causes the ringing in my ears to worsen. I wish the Corolla had much better sound damping. other than that, it's a great car to drive."

"Both my wife and I find the seats to be very comfortable and provide good support. The vehicle is very quite and us a smooth ride"

"Seat fabric is cheap!!!"

"Too noisy"

"The car is noisier than I was previously used to. The driver's seat has fewer adjustment controls than I was used to."

"Had a 2003 Camry until just recently and it had a much smoother ride than the Corolla"

"Seats are comfortable and supportive with the leather like material they are made of. I have the 8 way adjustable seat which helps on long rides ( though after 4 hours I usually need a break). Wind noise is well blocked out. Road noise not quite as good. Rides good for a compact car. I noticed when I replaced my 60000 mile tires with 90000 mile the ride became a little less absorbent. Still it rides better than my daughters 2016 Rav which is more bouncy."

"The drivers seat is awful. I feel like I am sitting in a hole. I use a cushion to fill up the hole. I tried to find one on the Toyota site to no avail."

"Would like more driver leg room. Seat goes back and down rather than back and remain at the same height."

"Quiet Mirrors function well Front bumper big nuisance"

"For the price paid this is a well appointed and very comfortable car. We had an older Corolla which was very reliable and satisfactory car but was conspicuously "cheap" while the newer Corolla is quite plush."

"The seat cushions in this vehicle are kind of hard at the back and hurt my tailbone after sitting for more than 10 minutes. The NVH on this vehicle could be improved a bit too. I have to drive a lot of gravel roads and rocks strikes from underneath seem to echo throughout the car."

"Front seats are not very comfortable on long drives. Road noise should be reduced!"

"Road noise level is fairly high"

"Good comfort (seats, noise) for such an economic car"

"Original equipment tires are noisy and get even worse as they wear down."

"Every little bump can be felt in the front seat. In the back seat the ride is terrible. The road noise is too loud. The person in the back seat has a hard time hearing anything said in the front."

"Reasonably priced does everything well. Great every day car, drives well in all weather, road conditions."

"My Corolla has so many more features than my Honda CR-V. I love all of the technologies that come with the car. The radio is excellent. I call this car "my bat mobile"."

"wanted a reliable car that maintains it's value and has a history of being a great car for years"

"Accelerator lunges a bit from a stop. Must change radio stations frequently to keep from listening to static. The roominess of my 2015 is far superior to my previous 2006 Corolla, however my 2006 had automatic lights as a standard feature, but my 2015 does not. Road noise is less in my 2015 than in my 2006, but still needs improvement. The seats are better in my 2015 than in my 2006, but still need some improvement (ok for short trips but not pleasant for long ones). Overall, it's a good car fo"

"Great value"

"Great car inside and out. Fun to drive. Excellent gas mileage."

"It was the best value with the best reliability in its class. I drive this second car very little and it wasn't worth it to spend a lot of money."

"Great little car ,fun to drive and very economical."

"I expected 35 mpg and I constantly get over 40 mpg. Best auto that I have ever owned for gas consumption."

"got what I paid for"

"Does everything you expect, but seats are just so-so. Basic touchscreen is harder to see, but simpler to operate than most"

"My car has leather interior, nav, sunroof, electric seats all for $23k. Great value."

"I purchased the car used because it was factory warranted, low mileage andgot very good gas milage"

"For the price we paid we received a very practical, reliable, and robust vehicle which should last us a long time."

"I feel that this vehicle is an excellent value for the price. It is extremely reliable and a comfortable car for both in town and highway travel."

"exceptional fuel MPG"

"It was well equipped for the price and has provided enjoyment for my son who is the main driver"

"This car bought used is a great value. I have the S plus trim. New it is fairly expensive but I purchased it with 9,000 miles. Toyota dealers in the Southeast practice very deceptive practices when selling new cars with thousands in fees. The first owner of my car paid for all those fees ( window VIN etching, paint protection, and all the other rip offs). I would never buy a new Toyota due to dealer practices."

"How anyone could want a better car this the Corolla, is hard to imagine. It is so dependable, comfortable, and low cost to operate. Best car (to date) that we ever had (including two Mercedes and two cadillacs."

"Both the car just as the new models were coming out and the dealer was wanting to clear out last years models. After checking Blue book, USAA and other sources this Corrola was a very good deal."

"Very reliable"

"The Corolla is not an exciting car, but it drives well, is comfortable, has plenty of space, and has been reliable. What else could you want in a small commuter car?"

"I researched the price and was able to get a very good deal--I got the sport version for what the CE would have cost."

"Exceptional gas mileage....above and beyond the ratings or expectations."

"i think you get a great value for the price and the car handles like new. Gas mileage is great"

"Great gas mileage, very good acceleration, like the back up camera, stereo system, Bluetooth and the map driving directions system all work very well, Like my sunroof comforta 100% happy with this Corolla."

"Gas mileage on Eco version amazing-----43 MPG HWY."

"Most of my driving is local. The milage continues to be very very good (34.8 mph)."

"Well-built car, reliable and well-designed."

"excellent vehicle for it's price"

"I bought the ECO model which is gets 4-6 more miles per gallon then the standard LE model and only cost $400.00 more dollars which Consumers reports said wrongly that it was not worth it!"

"It is very quick , it handles rather lethargically but accelerates rapidly"

"Nice car - good interior and exterior, good fuel economy"

"Because I am 95% retired and don't allow myself to go galavanting to the beach or downtown, I use freeways infrequently. This Corolla LE Plus Eco, not common in 2014, was said to get 30 mpg city, 40 highway. 24 miles per gallon is absolutely unsatisfactory though slightly better than my 1994 Camry's. The Eco cost around $1,500 more than a Corolla LE. Plus the showrooms just were not making less costly models available: I had to buy with plastic guard on door edges and rubber guard just below trunk opening. Nonetheless, I couldn't get a nicer color without paying $800-$1,000 more."

"Good value as in four years of ownership have not had any major repair issues, just routine service."

"Good value."

"Very reliable car in terms of maintenance. Handles well, good visibility. At midnight on I-70 a deer ran out, right in my path. I was able to slow enough that it only did cosmetic damage as it leaped onto my hood and windshield. No broken glass, and I got home safely."

"Good value for the price. Good gas mileage, and very dependable. The ride and comfort not as good when compared to the Camry but it is a compact."

"Reliable, cheap to own"

"You get a reliable car where nothing has gone wrong. I did have problems with the cd player but that seems to have resolved itself. The car drives as soundly as the day I bought it. It could use more horsepower but what it has is adequate for when you need it. I'm now retired and get 36mpg putzing around town. When I worked I got 39.5 mpg. Plus it has decent room for passengers in back. If I buy another car it wil in all probability be a Corolla, though perhaps a new hatchback. And did I say it is one of few cars to still have a cd player."

"Excellent value for the model S due to its higher quality components"

"Great value for a compact car under $20,000. Very pleased with the 40 mpg."

"The Corolla, like most Toyota vehicles, is very reasonably priced and reasonably equipped for the price. If you are planning to keep your car for over 5 years, both the Camry and Corolla are excellent choices"

"Price fit our budbet."

"Fair"

"Good value for the money"

"A small car that doesn’t feel small. Great gas mileage and easy to drive."

"Lowest maintenance and most reliable car I've ever own."

"I bought the car new for cash at our local Toyota Dealer. I bartered quite hard for is and was pleased with the price I was able to negotiate. I also checked one other dealership to see if I got I good deal at the first dealer and learned that I did negotiate an excellent price"

"Very reliable, low maintenance, no problems"

"The Corolla is an exceptional value for mostly in-town driving, but can move at highway speeds, too. Quality and low maintenance costs are a plus."

"CVT transmission very well"

"it never breaks down"

"for comparable cars in its class...it's cheaper, better gas mileage and more reliable."

"Very reliable and good all around car."

"I got the base model; I wish I had spent an extra $1000 for a bit of upgrade (keyfob lock/unlock, back up camera, etc.)."

"Nice reliable car, does well in everything, nothing outstanding. Quiet car. Audio controls are a pain ,changing stations. Navigation is awkward, expensive updates."

"Fun car and a great value"

"I purchased this car for $5,000 less than my 2003 Toyota Corolla. Part of the difference was going from one Toyota to another instead of from Mazda to Toyota."

"This is a very reliable car that rides well and requires minimum maintenance. There have been no repairs required."

"Having the moonroof, satellite antenna, back-up camera and infotainment system were a plus. My main gripes is the distance of the headlights (not projecting far enough) and seatback comfort."

"Maintenance has been minimal; cost has been very reasonable."

"A great looking car for a reasonable price, which performs to perfection and has never needed any kind of repair"

"Extremely reliable and very good mileage. Comfort and trunk work well."

"Easy on fuel"

"Outstanding value. For the money it is a very reliable vehicle."

"Very good design was very good looking.and very roomy for this price range"

"The "S" trim is very stylish and overall the car looks great. Everything is well thought out."

"I think the style is up to date"

"The navigation works quite well, and redirects me very fast. Love the body lines, and the of course the nice wheels."

"I had an older Corolla and was a bit disappointed that the model got wider and longer."
