Toyota Corolla

"This is a economy car and based on that I set my expectations lower. The handling is competent if not sporty. Steady of the highway. The CVT transmission acts like a CVT meaning more engine noise and sometimes feels like less pwr than you know the motor has. I wish they would drop the CVT and just go with a good 6 speed automatic."

"Very quiet engine for a CVT. Always has adequate power on tap. Handles well in all weather and has excellent brakes for the class. Could use more active safety features as available options."

"easy to handle locally and on long distance trips"

"higher than expectant gas mileage. Very comfortable ride"

"Our Corolla handles very well and has average acceleration. While it doesn't have all of the "bells and whistles" of our 2017 Rav4 we choose the Corolla to drive m most of the time. It just seems "easier" to drive."

"Good power with infinetely variable transmission is problem free."

"Only had it 2 months. Weak acceleration. Hard to see screen in sunlight. Pressure after the sale for optional add-on items & features. Very comfortable, but inside is a little smallish. Large trunk."

"Very sporty, clean lines looks more expensive than it was"

"the sports 17 rims and sports suspension makes a huge difference in driving pleasure. but the acceleration is weak yet 34 MPG.."

"Slow to respond on ramps"

"I have gone on two trips with my new car. To the mountains. I was very I,pressed with highway mileage: 40mpg. And the way it traveled up the mountains was impressive. Really love the car"

"I didn't know about it advance, and don't like, the unusual way you have to pull up the manual shift to go into reverse"

"Car feels less responsive to driver."

"Handling is great. Corners tight and secure. Brakes stop on a dime. Very smooth ride and comfortable."

"It really struggles at highway speeds."

"Acceleration with CVT is a little difficult to get used to."

"A little more "oomphy-oomf" would be good. It doesn't really accelerate with much gusto, like when merging. Otherwise it's been nice."

"I feel it has very bad acceleration. I almost have to floor it to get it up to speed from a dead stop."

"Great acceleration, smooth ride over rough roads, firm handling in winds and windy roads. Firm grip on the road. Very quiet,"

"Accelerates well, occasional hesitation with CV transmission when easing off gas."

"When I floor the gas on rare occasions I feel the engine is sluggish and unresponsive. It would be nice to have better pick up- I am used to my 2000 Honda Civic which had excellent acceleration when needed."

"It could handle turns better. That would be the one thing that would make me rethink buying this car."

"Very nimble and well built"

"the acceleration and handling of this car is excellent"

"Acceleration a little less than my 2014 Camry and a little more bumpy."

"Corolla is somewhat underpowered, but OK for a commuter car."

"Very easy to drive on highway. Handles very well."

"When A/C is on, no pickupwhen getting into traffic. needs larger engine."

"Before purchasing I read CR's review. I agree in most part. However, in handling and acceleration, I find it is very quick, nimble, and can be driven very spirited with ease. Tires need a bit more grip in turns to truly match what this car is capable of. I enjoy it very much."

"very sluggish acceleration, handles like driving a boat"

"Noisy on hiway"

"very peppy, gets up and goes"

"While I’m not a huge fan of the CVT on our Corolla, the car is peppy enough and after the transmission issues we had with the 2012 Focus we owned for 5 years—it’s a breeze. Handling is responsive and nimble."

"It handles fine. It took a bit of getting used to the variable transmission"

"Poor acceleration."

"I love everything about my Corolla except for the cruise control. I use cruise control quire often, and on this vehicle it is slow to respond when I raise or lower the control to accelerate or decelerate. My 2009 Corolla's cruise control is MUCH better than on this 2016 model."

"Design of front is awful. Can't see where front of car ends! Hood slopes downward. Have to guess when parking & turning. At least I have rear camera."

"good acceleration and very comfortable to drive. handling is excellant"

"lights showing forward,, reverse, park, etc I would like larger to see."

"The acceleration of the car is very good. It handles well in all types of weather. In rain and wind I feel very secure on the road."

"Acceleration is a little slow--I have to really gun it to get on the freeway. Also the right side of the windshield has a big blind spot which has caused me one minor accident and almost another"

"Good acceleration from dead stop and throught driving range we have the S plus package and it handles well"

"The cruise control is pathetic The engine is underpowered The transmission is not smooth"

"Poor accelerations. Excellent handing and braking"

"The 4 cylinder engine and variable speed transmission far exceed what I was expecting."

"The odometer needle sometimes does not move when you accelerate. Undiagnosed problem, never occurs when at dealers service center."

"It does not accelerate smoothly. It tends to jump forward. However, this may result from the fact that I use the ECO function."

"both acceleration and steering feel good"

"good acceleration, good braking, good handling, mirror view is limited"

"Unremarkable to poor acceleration. Not a fun car to drive but VERY reliable and economical"

"Light weight and very noisy on the highway"

"I absolutely LOVE driving manual transmission vehicles; and, with the exception of my 2016 Corolla not having cruise control - which makes long-distance highway driving a breeze - driving my vehicle is the most fun ever. Don’t like automatics, but finding good manuals is getting more difficult. ??"

"holds well in turning circles"

"continuously variable transmission works well to give good acceleration. car hugs the road when sudden changes in direction have to be made."

"Accelerates quite briskly when needed, suspension is very "present", holds road well."

"This car does not have the quick start up acceleration of our previous Corolla. This is probably due to the new belted transmission but it means a slower pick up when entering traffic."

"it has plenty of pickup for a car this size, and does a great job on the rural roads in our area."

"Needs more power - acceleration is quite weak."

"Steering: the car wanders; frequent correction needed"

"Brakes require too much pressure. When I switch vehicles from the Prius V to the Corolla, I have to remember that it takes more brake pressure to stop in the Corolla."

"gas mileage, 33avg., up to 38.75 on trip using cruise, I always use eco mode. mostly highway driving. This car handles well and backup camera is great. The car accelerates well always."

"Outstanding car."

"This car handles beautifully. It corners well, accelerates quickly, and is comfortable."

"I love how the car handles, except for its acceleration when entering a highway."

"In the beginning OK. Now acceleration is not as responsive."

"i hate the CVT transmission"

"Excellent handing, at least as good as my Maxima or SAAB, reasonable acceleration for a 4-cylinder. You GOTTA get the "S" model with manual transmission."

"Comfortable and responsive."

"Adequate acceleration, handling."

"The 2016 Toyota Corolla is a car that is fun to drive in many respects. The engine is strong and responsive while the handling is nimble and fun to drive. Acceleration is above average for a car in this category with the ability to modify the responsiveness of the vehicle by selecting normal driving mode or sport driving mode. The selection changes the shift characteristics of the transmission resulting in improved acceleration in sport mode. The overall performance of this car in acceleration and handling is well above average."

"very smooth"

"Somewhat sluggish on acceleration but good on handling"

"Good excelleration Much better than the Camry"

"The manual transmission offers good acceleration and speed control when needed in city traffic or mountain driving."

"Electronic throttle control still not optimal for smooth acceleration, though much better than with my previous, 2012 model. Both with manual transmission, and both suffer from throttle input lag."

"Very smooth engine-transmission."

"It is extremely sluggish when it comes to accelerating especially when attempting to pass another vehicle. The vehicle is very unresponsive when the throttle is depressed."

"wife like update items , backup camera, automatic A/C"

"ok but the cruis control doesn't hold a setting and acceleration is sluggish at times"

"it has very good pickup and handles well"

"Do not like the CTV transmission - it makes the wrong gearing decision too often - very bad when cruise control is engaged and decending a hill."

"A bit less acceleration than 2014 Camry."

"It is a 4 cylinder car. I gets good pickup and moves well from stop to go. I do not push the car, but I maintain a good speed so as not to have people behind me feel frustrated."

"slow pick-up on acceleration"

"Little noisy on a rough road surface."

"seats are comfortable but could be more supportive very noisy engine/transmission under acceleration noise at highway speeds is acceptable soft, wallowy ride but composed"

"I have the softex seats and the seat back doesn't breath and your back gets very warm and sweats. The seats should have some form of venting in them."

"Driver's seat is significantly more comfortable than passenger seat and back. Car is better for someone who doesn't drive passengers. But this car is still good value for its price."

"Seats are just ok for long rides. Need mot lumbar support."

"The driver's seat isn't great for short people. I am 5', and the headrest can't be adjusted to comfortably accommodate my head being much lower than the designer expected - it forces my head a bit forward."

"The seats are plain looking. Don't really like them. The seats on my 1999 corolla were cloth and looked better. These seats look cheap."

"Seat comfort is non-existent. Windows fog-up. Takes forever to start cooling down. No day/night rearview mirror. Side mirrors have noticeable delay when pressing button to adjust them."

"Road noise seems excessive. Seats, reasonably comfortable. Climate control, very good. Ride, good."

"Annoying rattle in the dashboard area."

"Seat is not very comfortable for short people."

"When I lean my knee against the door; the door pull handle pokes into my knee."

"The climate control has an auto feature that is not explained in the owner's manual, although manually I can make the a/c work o.k."

"Drivers seat doesn't go back far enough & difficult to adjust (side pump lever). Climate control system is somewhat quirky and difficult to understand."

"A single push of one button get climate control going be it for heat or for cooling"

"There is a squeak within the driver's side door."

"All good except interior noise level. Better than past years but needs more improvement in interior noise at interstate speed."

"rear seat head rests are causing me blindspots while driving and backing. i put the rear seats in the down position so that i may better see behind me. the rear camera is totally useless. i must move my head to the right and then look downward to be able to see the screen and during the day, it is far too bright to even see the screen. I simply don't use it now. i much prefer to look behind when backing like i was taught way back when. and, the shifter. it is far too easy to get into the wrong g"

"Had AC problems shortly after the warranty expired, and had to replace the entire unit."

"Seats could be more supportive, especially in the lumbar support."

"My wife and I like the fact that the driver seat can be raised higher (both for comfort & better view out front window."

"it has a bumpy ride - we should have test driven it more"

"Front seats are a little hard. Front passenger seat could be more comfortable. Ability to tilt both front seats is lacking."

"My wife and I find the front and rear seat comfort are impressive, with plenty of leg and head room, even for me. The automatic climate control system is intuitive and easy to operate. The ride is great as well. Moreover, the car is relatively quiet."

"the seats are very comfortable, easy to adjust but I would like more leg room"

"Would have preferred a straight angle steering wheel position instead of the slanted."

"outside noise is louder than expected."

"Has Too much road noise,daylight running lights are not automatic have to choose and switch back to night lights as needed.Needs more horse power."

"Ease of use and comfort provided."

"Air vents don't adjust enough. Can't direct air away from passenger/driver."

"Outside noise is more of a problem in this car than in our Camry, but that's to be expected when you pay less, I'm sure."

"The climate control can be reset and goes to the same temperature and fan speed you used before. Of course, this can be changed. The seats are comfortable, although I would have like more lower back support. The ride is quiet. Like our 1996 Corolla, when the [standard] transmission is in idle, you do not hear the engine at all. I really like the wide angle backup camera that comes on automatically when put in reverse gear - especially helpful in crowded parking lots. The light and windshi"

"some wind noise at higher speeds"

"Driver seat does not allow me as much leg room as I thought even after a satisfactory test drive before leasing."

"Seats not as comfortable (side bolsters too intrusive) as my all-time favorite car (1993 Corolla), which I kept for twenty years. External noise very pronounced (road, manual transmission, engine), presumably due to decreased sound insulation compared to previous. Side windows too small for comfortable reaching of ATMs, window pickup service, etc. And, most important, the outward visibility resulting from the small windows and dumb wedge design of the body make for a decidedly uncomfortable dr"

"Enough room, lots of road noise"

"a little too much noice when driving"

"It rides like a truck, every bump shakes the car and feels like the car is breaking apart. AWFUL"

"i DON'T THINK THE SEATS ARE WILDLY COMFORTABLE. AND YOU DON'T GIVE ME THE OPTION FOR "LEAKS" BUT THAT'S MY #1 COMPLAINT - WHEN IT RAINS, WATER COMES IN ALONG DOOR FRAME ON THE FLOOR AND ALONG SIDES, DESIGN FLAW IF YOU ASK ME. AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE TO BACK UP SO NOW I KNOW WHY THE CAMERA - ANOTHER DESIGN ISSUE IF YOU ASK ME!"

"Never get tired or uncomfortable."

"I love the larger-than-sedan size doors, as entry and exit is much easier than on a mid-sized car., Seats are quite comfortable with easy to work adjustments."

"iThe road noise on highway is dissapointing."

"The driver seat is too low. You cannot see the front bumper and hood."

"Vehicle is comfortable, but quite a bit noisier than a comparably sized Lexus."

"The seats are easily adjustable, very comfortable. The ride is controlled, comfortable and somewhat firm. Road noise is intrusive on many of Florida’s newer asphalt roads that have a rough top coating on them."

"I get a backache from driving very long; the seats don't seem very ergonomic. Also, the motor can be a bit noisy, and even road sounds are loud, so I often have to turn up the volume on the radio just to hear what is being said."

"The seats are not very comfortable, especially the passenger front seat."

"Seats are comfortable but the ride is jiggly at times."

"Seat is a bit narrow for my shoulders"

"seats well for me"

"Good ride, smooth"

"Seats could be a little more comfortable with better fabric - maybe a little softer like the Camry 2002 use to have..and the noises need to be worked on..the center console and dashboard make noises"

"moderately rough and noisy."

"Could be a little bit quitter on the road."

"More tire noise than I would like."

"seats are hard after awhile. A bit noisy. ride is ok."

"The ride is a bit noisy but not overwhelmingly loud."

"The seats are confortable and offer a good support. The ride is smooth."

"a little "tight" getting into driver's seat."

"THE SEATS ARE A BIT HARD"

"The material used for the seats in my 2016 Toyota Corolla stains easily. It even show wet spots after the area is dried. If it is raining heavily and you clothes get wet the stain will remain after the fabric is dry. The color of the material is tan which shows the stain more."

"It's a bit noisy on highway driving and car will sway when passing semi-trailers on highway, otherwise the seats are comfortable and roomy enough for the front passenger and driver."

"Ride is a bit more rough than my Camry."

"Very comfortable commuter. Just a little boring inside."

"very high road noise"

"Seats are uncomfortably hard. People in back complain a lot. I drive long distances, very numb after 50 miles. If I could change anything, change seats."

"driver's seat needs more padding and muffler to noisey"

"I think the cabin interior noise is excessive at interstate highway speed. Considering price paid, the car should be much quieter inside."

"Extremely noisy due to the tires. The dash vibrates and rattles."

"wife car third corolla but first automatic"

"Seating comfort appears to be designed for taller people. Even with seat height adjusted, I still need an extra seat cushion to adequately see over the hood."

"Seats are not comfortable, do not go back far enough. The longer the car ride the more uncomfortable it gets. Where as the passenger seat goes back further."

"The engine is a bit noisy with hard acceleration."

"It feels very solid to drive, rides smoothly, external noise is very low. A pleasure to drive and a pleasure to ride in as a passenger."

"Very comfortable car for its size."

"ride somewhat rough on not smooth roads"

"1. Seats marginally too narrow. 2. Interior noise higher than I've experienced in any of the previous Corollas I've owned, resulting mainly from ill-fitting, poor-quality plastics. Also, overall engine and road noise MUCH higher than previous. Minimal noise absorption measures to lower costs and weight?"

"comfortable ride"

"Seat adjustment is relatively limited. My wife is small in stature and has difficulty in getting an appropriate driving position"

"Lots of wind noise. Doesn't seem like windows are sealed that well. As in most cars, the seats always seem to be geared mostly for taller people. It is hard to coordinate your leg room, the steering wheel, etc. for a shorter person. You always have to settle. The other thing that is terrible, is the blind spot. I am a good driver, but have almost wiped out 3 other cars because even using the mirrors correctly, there is a horrible blind spot."

"seats are comfortable.Manual adjustment.noise level is slightlly higher in rear seats ride is fine"

"The front seats have inadequate lumbar support. The car in general is great for the price."

"The seats are the Softex leather type material but they are not perforated. Because of this I find that in the summer the seats are extremely hot and don’t breath causing my back to sweat which is very uncomfortable when driving. The seats otherwise are comfortable."

"At 40mph, tires "sing" Goodyear tire don't last! Front end can be bouncy."

"Corolla has much better ease of entry front and rear seats than 2016 Honda Civic. Better handling than 2016 Nissan Sentra."

"The seat is comfortable but a little low for me. I wish I had bought a car which sits a bit higher. The fabric seats are also a bit more difficult to keep clean than leather or leather looking seats."

"Noisy cabin-engine noise."

"We have taken this car on many road trips. It is extremely comfortable. We never seem to be uncomfortable after 8-10hours. Also very smooth and quiet on the road."

"economical to run, comfortable, great sound system"

"excellent value for the money"

"Problem free driving with acceptable fuel economy."

"The Sport model Corolla is stylish, well made, good mileage, and if cared for, maintains a high resell value."

"A great car for the money"

"My wife has driven 4 or 5 corollas and put in excess of 100,000 miles on each. We just sold her last yesterday with over 111K miles. The only expenses beside oil changes were a brake job, tires, battery and transmission flush. And we sold that car easily for $6300 for which we paid $15,000 six years earlier. About $1400 per year not countinig gas, ins, etc. (Other sellers and dealer asked much higher for the same 2010 Cor w/similar milage)."

"This is a very comfortable, low cost vehicle with many standard features."

"There are many standard features on this car that would be considered options on a similar make and model."

"good, got extras at no cost plus a discount."

"excellent value for a $17k auto, bullet proof engine and put together with quality no other car maker can match at this price level. good easy driving, high comfort level for driver and passengers, not a BMW driver wise, but with lots of $ in your pocket"

"I bought it for its dependability and relatively low cost to operate"

"I felt I received a great deal on my lease price through a manufacturer's special."

"Comfort and gas mileage"

"Excellent value for the money"

"I like the fact that it came with the backup camera and Bluetooth in this price range."

"At $23,000, I thought it was an expensive car. However, most cars cost more than I think they are worth."

"Good gas mileage Reaspnabe mamtemance costs"

"Good price for features of this model Corolla. I like especially the "ECO" feature which shows when my driving is "stretching" the MPG."

"This is my first Toyota. It is a much better vehicle than I had expected."

"good solid car for the money"

"Well built and very dependable. Very good gas mileage."

"It's a very good value, inexpensive to own consider the quality and reliability of Corolla LE. It also gets very good mileage saving gas money especially on long trips."

"excellent quality car (maintenance, fuel economy, comfort) for the price"

"Reliable,good gas mileage,good value, good size"

"Dependable, reliable, low cost maintenance, good value for price, good mileage"

"I think great engineering and easy to maintain. Feels solid."

"It is a good car for the money."

"Excellent reliability and gas mileage"

"The Toyota Corolla is a great vehicle. It has everything one would need at a great price and very low maintenance."

"MPG Stylish"

"great looking car that gets excellent gas mileage and a super reliable"

"I THINK OVERALL TOYOTA COROLLA IS A VERY GOOD VALUE. I HAD A 1997 TOYOTA COROLLA BEFORE THIS I KEPT FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS AND IT WAS RELIABLE AND AFFORDABLE TO PURCHASE, AND AFFORDABLE TO MAINTAIN."

"It's not cheap."

"It's a good reliable car. It may not be fancy but it gets me from A to B. It's all I need."

"Too expensive for the quality received."

"Price was right for this car model."

"The price was hefty but the car perform well and is comfortable."

"Excellent value for all items"

"Received a great price for a very reliable vehicle. Good gas mileage for non-hybrid"

"Runs well, maintenance is easy, mileage is great"

"good gas mileage,handlling good, not very much maintenance"

"0 down 0% and easy finance"

"A really good value. I got 2 years of free service when I bought the car. The care gets great gas mileage. I do not drive as much as when I worked full time so I am doing well with the care, and costs have been so minimal."

"I really like the way it handles, the gas mileage and for the money I think it’s great"

"What an amazing amount of features for the price. Great looks foglights, sunroof, auromatic temperature, heated mirrors etc."

"good value for the money paid"

"Really great car for the money; excellent handing, reasonable acceleration for a 4-cylinder."

"I am very satisfied with the quality and value of the car and the price I paid for it. It is built very well, high-quality and caring with manufacturing I am satisfied with the mileage the smoothness of the ride and the general handling of the car. I foresee owning this car for many many years trouble-free."

"Excellent value."

"No automatic headlight feature. My 2013 Corolla had it and it’s frustrating to remember to turn on headlights when using DRL. I mistakenly think my headlights are on."

"Fabric on the seats in the car Stain If water spills on them. They are disgusting. I have tried shampooing and it is only somewhat helpful. Had I known I would’ve purchased leather or vinyl seats."

"$2000 lower price when purchased after rebates and discounts than similarly optioned Honda Civic. No repairs needed."

"It is a good reliable car for a good price"

"Very reliable and efficient vehicle for the price."

"It is a reliable car and get good gas mileage, service is still covered by Toyota so the operating expense has been zero."

"My Corolla has been without repairs of any kind, and has performed well. It is a well designed car that is both attractive and functional."

"Comfortable ride good transmission"

"A car is used to perform tasks such as getting from point A to Point B. This car performs these tasks with ease, economy and comfort.. For the price, I could not have asked for more. It doesn't break down, it is reliable, requires minimal service, just regularly change the oil, rotate the tires, Keep it clean. Bottom line. For the money, I received value."

"Great price for quality and economy received"

"The Corolla is worth every penny we spent. It’s very reliable and gets great gas mileage"

"I paid almost the same price as my 2005 Corolla and I have a lot more safety (air bags, ABS brake) and electronic (audio, Blue Tooth) devices for the price with the inflation."

"Our Corolla was reasonably priced, and has proven very reliable so far. It is a comfortable, nice looking car that drives well."

"Fun to drive"

"Very good car with good mileage and remarkable reliability for a good price."

"The clothes seats are not family friendly. Water will leave a stain on the seats. I have never seen seats that stain so easy. I am VERY dissatisfied with the seats in my car."

"Smart , stylish , compact"

"It is very important to be able have a sun visor extender which Corolla doesn't have. Also, to have the seats adjusted automatically and not manually and being able to raise the passenger front seat."

"I personally like the styling in the inside of the corolla. After reading what Consumer Reports mentioned about the plastic pieces for décor, I was a little pissed off, because I happen to like the placement of them and how color coordinated they are. So, I don't think that that should be a factor at all, when rating the inside...the remark sounded like the car was "Cheap". Because of this remark I won't get this book anymore....if someone is going to put something that minor in there...forge"

"Love everything about it."

"Frontal Area"

"Very sharp looking. Turns a lot of heads."

"The car looks nice. However, I think the body is too close to the ground, catching on curbs or hitting bottom on sharp inclines. The wheel covers are very nice (S version). I would not have ordered a sun roof, but it comes with the S version. The vision from the windows and mirrors is good, making it easy to change lanes and see what is going on around me."

"Beautiful styling and look on the S model especially the 17 inch painted rims"

"The interior is a bit too economy designed. Some additional features and design qualities would be good."

"I liked the previous design aka smaller Corolla this car looks like my grandmother should drive it"
