White sporty Toyota Corolla.

I have not had any problems with my vehicle. I love it. Best purchase & we got it for a good price. It is great with miles & the interior is sporty looking. The only thing I wish it had would be push start instead of keys. I tend to lose keys a lot. Navigation system would be nice too.

Emily S

Safe, affordable and smooth. Bluetooth features and safety features.

I absolutely love this car! It is comfortable, affordable and rides smoothly. I love the safety features that come with this car such as letting you know if you begin to drift or beeping when you come close to a car in front of you. This car has many safety performance tests that provides for a safe ride. The size is perfect and is a four door with huge trunk space.

Dale D

My car gets fantastic gas mileage, I get almost 40 miles to the gallon.

It is a very reliable car. It gets great gas mileage. It is very comfortable to drive on long trips. I use it to and from work every day.

Jennifer S

The brake assist is an interesting detail.

I don't have any problems. The lane assist is a great safety feature. The brake assist is different if you are not used to that feature. I like the display that tells me how many miles to empty on gas. I like the smooth design for the radio display. I like the customization options for the screen display.

Luis R

The car is very good on gas.

The car is really good on mileage. Very comfortable to ride in, and drive. The worst part of the vehicle, is how small it is. Comfortably, 4 people is the best way to go, but it does fit 5.

Gabriela J

Comfortable, economic, safe.

I love my car. It is comfortable, really economic, ai do not spend much money to put gas on it. I feel safe driving it, I like to use the feature where it tells me if I changed lanes, it tells me if I am too close to a car, it tells me how many miles I can drive with the gas I have. It has a great trunk space. The panel is beautiful. I am really satisfied with this car.

Mari H

Love it l, comfortable, reliable vehicle. Safe to drive, spacious. Gas saver about 36 mpg freeway, great sound system and additions.

Diane W

I had a system that lets you know if you are going over the dividing line on the freeway or highway. It's a very outstanding car for the price.

I loved the price first of all. I have always had Corollas and this is actually my fourth one. I love the color white and the way my car looks. I feel good driving it.

Paint Problem .easy scratching, performance weak.

Wrong purchase . 2018 Toyota Corolla Se. Paint Problem , Every Time I go thru carwash there is lot more scratching on paint When reported to , Toyota Manufacturing they cannot do anything about it.

tony

It's a c**p

From the beginning I knew it was a simple car, a week after I bought it "new and of the year", "the one that sold me" the car had noises in the shock absorbers and in the front .. The windows of the air, and the plastic of the board. I reported it more than ten times and the stupid salesmen and mechanics became fools and said they did not hear anything, call the factory and they told me to address the dealer of the purchase of the vehicle and what do you believe? The same answer. All my information is supported with videos and my own word. It's a steal and they totally disappointed me ... They'll see what I tell them with their toyota c**p. Anyway, I stayed with the car with the problems and having to find money for that car c**p.

Said B

It is not a good one unless you badly need a car.

The cheapest of them all it stains easy the carpet wears off the seats stains easy no GPS the ad is slow.

Marian

Worse fuel mileage

Anybody know why 2018 Corolla se is such a gazelor I have one and I can't get more than 410 km on full tank. Thanks

Marcos F

Toyota corolla economic and easy to drive.

Ideal car for the family, good displacement, comfortable, safe, economical in terms of gasoline consumption. The maintenance in the concesionario is economic and the after sales service is not very good. I recommend it for the brand and small family.

Josepha Nelson

Fix my paint!!

Thought we where making a great purchase.Did not realize how wrong we where.So far two recall's and maybe another soon.Have noticed Blue Crush paint is peeling off.Called Toyota an they say it is not covered.This vehicle does not even have 10,000 miles.How is the paint peeling on a car that is covered at all times .Toyota vehicle's are not what they used to be.I will not stop here .I believe there is a massive problem with your newer vehicle's.We have been a loyal Toyota Family an have only owned Toyota vehicles.I find it a terrible problem that should be addressed and fixed.I feel like I have done my part by paying on time.Why will Toyota not fix this issue free of cost.Your recall's and paint problems do exist.Also to be called Momma by the paint shop?not your momma.I want my car to be fixed .So anyone buying a car from Toyota beware . Very upset about this issue .Car should not be peeling paint when it is hand washed an very well taking care of.Toyota I will not stop till this is addressed.

Maria S

Toyota Corolla 2018 horsepower.

I do not like sedans, I like SUVs. The Corolla does not have enough horsepower so it is annoying when trying to accelerate fast at first.

Alicia M

Good reliability and sporty look.

Not a lot of features, too small for a family, had issues with knocking when braking. Good gas mileage, good college car. The interior can be cleaned easily. I wish XM radio would have been built into this model. The trunk is also not big enough for a family. Good performance and the comfort is not bad. Nice design that makes the vehicle look sporty.

What Do Critics Say About the Toyota Corolla?

Consumer Reports says the 2018 Toyota Corolla is an excellent choice for frugal shoppers, with high owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds rates the Corolla at 3.5/5, praising the spacious cabin, but doesn’t like the relatively cheap interior materials.
Kelley Blue Book users give the Corolla a 4.4/5, enjoying the standard safety features, but owners don’t like the boring driving experience.

What Common Problems Does the 2018 Toyota Corolla Have?

Common problems found on the 2018 Toyota Corolla include excessive revving with cruise control, noisy air conditioning, as well as a locked steering wheel. Overall, these problems are minor compared to other compact cars, with lower repair costs as well.

Excessive revving with cruise control is the most widespread complaint from owners at around 30,000 miles. There is a software update for the cruise control system which improves the responsiveness of the system. Most dealerships will install the update for free, while some may charge around $50.

Noisy air conditioning, particularly with the blower motor, has also been mentioned by owners at around 50,000 miles. Usually the noise is pretty normal, and just part of the way the A/C system works. Replacing the blower motor fixes the issue if there are grinding noises, costing around $450.

A locked steering wheel has also happened on some Corolla models after excessive braking. Owners report that the steering wheel locked in a straight position, letting the car skid. This is a rare issue, fortunately it can be cleared up by turning off the car and turning it back on to release the wheel.

There are 3 recalls on the 2018 Toyota Corolla, which is similar to other compact cars from the same year. The most serious recall covers the fuel pump, which can fail. Toyota will replace the fuel pump on affected models for free. Other recalls cover load carrying labels and air bags, which are not a mechanical concern, yet should still be changed out for free.

How Long Will the 2018 Toyota Corolla Last?

A well-maintained 2018 Toyota Corolla can last around 300,000 miles, which is about 50,000 miles more than the popular Honda Civic. Regular annual maintenance costs are lower than other sedans at $343 per year, according to data provided by Repair Pal.

As a used 2018 Toyota Corolla reaches 100,000 miles owners should be prepared to replace the A/C drier for $400, crankshaft position sensor costing $200, as well as the timing chain tensioner which costs $175.

Kristiena S

It is very reliable. I have never had any issues with it. Just take it for its oil changes and it has been fine!

They include a rearview camera, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, as well as adaptive cruise control.

Depreciation is better than other compact cars, losing about 6% of its current value per year.

It’s paired either with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), or an optional six-speed manual transmission on the SE model. Performance is slow, taking 9 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Toyota Corolla Come In?

How Comfortable Is the Toyota Corolla?

The 2018 Toyota Corolla is a very comfortable compact car with seating for up to five passengers. Seating is very nice, offering great support along with good breathability with both the cloth and SofTex.

Passenger room is great throughout the cabin with enough legroom for adults in the backseats, yet some passengers over 6 feet tall may find the headroom limited.

How Much Storage Space Does the Toyota Corolla Have?

Cargo space is slightly lower than other compact cars with enough room in the trunk for 3-4 full size suitcases. The 60/40 folding rear seats also give you extra room for bulkier items.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The eleventh generation of the Toyota Corolla was introduced in 2014, and replaced by the twelfth generation in 2020.

2015: Fold-down rear center armrest added to all models aside from L.

How Does the Toyota Corolla Compare to the Competition?

The Toyota Corolla is a fantastic compact car for the 2018 model year since it offers a lot of safety technology paired with a very reliable engine, making it worth the money.

The Toyota Camry is a larger sedan which costs around $2,500 more. Passenger room is better in the Toyota Camry, while the Toyota Corolla offers more standard safety technology. We recommend the Toyota Camry since you get more practicality for your money, although both are great sedans.

The Honda Civic is another compact car which is available in the same price range. Performance is better in the Honda Civic, while the suspension is more comfortable in the Toyota Corolla. We recommend the Toyota Corolla since ownership costs are a bit lower, yet both are great compact cars worth taking a look at.

Toyota corolla 2018 review.

The vehicle is great on gas mileage and runs smoothly and is very reliable. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an economical dependable car. The car is compact and fits 4 people comfortably but a little tight for the 5th person in the back seat.

Ana K on June 25, 2021

Family car efficiency and economics.

I do not have any problems with my car. I am fascinated by the anti-collusion security system. The autopilot, it can read the speed and it adapts to the speed of the car that is ahead of you also has a system that alerts you and helps you brake when the car in front of you brake before you and it is very comfortable and spacious it is a very efficient car and saves a lot of gasoline and very economical.

Lauren H on June 25, 2021

Mom car, comfortable, safe, but has good pick up when you are running late!

The 2018 Toyota corolla is comfortable, safe, and reliable. No current problems with the vehicle. Although on the exterior, I notice the paint is not holding up the best. I love the touch screen and Bluetooth features. Trunk size is a little small. Overall a great vehicle even though it is a mom car.

Henry F on June 24, 2021

I love this car. It is my lucky car.

I purchased my 2018 Toyota corolla when it first came out and I swear I do not regret it one bit. I love my 2018 Toyota corolla. It drives smooth and does saves on gas. My interior is black which is good when you have kids. I would love another car soon but for now this is all I need. It's really good. It has the best gas mileage it is never running out and very economical and good for the economy. It is also very quiet which I love and it is overall a cute car. It drives so smoothly and can go fairly fast. It is not like any other car I have had and I love it a lot.

Sofi A on June 24, 2021

Same thing as the previous answer. My car runs absolutely perfects and smooth.

No problems since I bought it. I purchase it back in July 2018 and it has been running perfectly, it saves me a lot of money on gas. It runs smoothly. The maintenance cost is sufficient and I never have to worry about that is. Overall I'd say the Toyota corolla is my favorite.

Deb J on June 22, 2021

My zippy Toyota.My vehicle has it all safety features, comfortable to drive.

No problems, my car has great gas mileage. It is really comfortable has plenty of leg room. My trunk is very roomy. It is very sporty looking and the pickup and speed is wonderful. The corolla has many safety features. The car has sensors it beeps when I drive over the lane too much, lots of airbags six. It also will stop if it feels I am going to rear end the car ahead of me.

Jenna J on June 22, 2021

The 2018 corolla 5 yr costs are projected to be about $22,400 / $4,480 per year.

Excellent vehicle. Its spacious cabin is packed with easy-to-use tech features. The corolla is also well-equipped with advanced safety features, like forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. Those familiar with the corolla will not be surprised by its high predicted reliability rating or impressive fuel economy estimates.

Sarah H on June 18, 2021

Reliable and modern, great features for an affordable price.

Love the back up camera, smart technology, safety features, auto cruise control. Only downfall is interior is very light and stains even from a water spill. Drives very well and is great on gas mileage. Very roomy for a small sedan. I highly recommend this car and plan to keep it for a very long time.

Patricia L on June 17, 2021

This is a normal car but this car's sporty look makes it amazing.

This is so much beautiful and less fuel consuming car, you will love it. This car has very big seat and the air condition system is so good. The headlight position make this car like a sport car, so this is so amazing in my eyes, if you purchase it is surely say you also love it.

Haley M on June 16, 2021

The nose of the car is too low!

I love my car! I wish the seats were bigger. They tend to make you feel cramped, especially on long road trips. I also wish the steering wheel was heated, not just the seats. The trunk could stand to be more spacious. One of the biggest problems I have is how low the nose of the car is. I often scrape curbs and parking blocks because the nose is just so low. It is quite annoying. I also would appreciate if the speedometer was digital. The car rides very smooth so you can drive faster than you realize sometimes and having the speed shown digitally would be helpful in monitoring that.

Daniel K on June 15, 2021

Inexpensive and economical vehicle.

Great fuel economy. Plenty of room for a midsize sedan. No problems in the first 2 years. Just oil changes and other scheduled maintenance. Surprisingly, has a bit of get up and go for a 4 cylinder engine. Come standard with a backup camera also. Not sure what sound system is, buy sounds great. Total Bluetooth connectivity.

Emma D on June 15, 2021

Great gas mileage and sport mode.

I love the gas mileage this car gets. Nothing beats not having to pay more than 25$ to fill up the tank. The car is comfortable, big backseat and large trunk. This car moved me from home to college in one trip. The sport mode makes this car a really fun road trip vehicle, as I have driven it all around Wyoming with no problems.

Jamia D on June 12, 2021

Grey exterior, black and royal blue interior.

No problem, very reliable.. I purchased the car about 3 months ago, and it's perfect! It is a nice size if you like little cars. The amount of people that have the car around me is about 7, so that tells you how good of a car it really is! I was able to get dark grey with black interior, and that is my favorite part!

Rufus M on June 11, 2021

My comfortable Toyota corolla sedan.

My Toyota corolla sedan 2018 seats five people in two rows. The front seats are comfortable and roomy. And the rear seats have decent headroom. Rear legroom is plentiful. Thanks to the flat floor. While the car has a good-looking cabin. Its material quality does not measure up to that of rivals.

Sumaiya H on June 10, 2021

Good fuel economy ratings.

The Toyota corolla 2018 is a great compact car. It was rated #11 on 2018 best compact cars in the u.S. It has a large spacious inside. The technical usage is very easy, simple, and sleek! Touch screen is used!! It has various safety features such as automatic emergency braking along with others. The price is good. The fuel usage is splendid. Recommend to anyone.

Joyce T on June 8, 2021

Do your research before going to the dealership.

My vehicle had a recall since 2019. I had to keep calling the dealership regarding the recall numerous times before anyone would actually do anything about. I also traded my vehicle in and I really did not get anything for it. I realized that I am actually paying for two vehicles. I hate my car for what was done to me. I actually have a mind to leave the Toyota family; however, I have not done research to find out what would be a reliable and an economical vehicle.

Jessica M on June 3, 2021

Corolla - in times of need, it is always reliable.

Low maintenance, and easy to drive and maneuver, but not a lot of power. Reliable and safe but not fancy - definitely not a luxurious vehicle. Comfortable car, good size for driving in a city and fitting in small spaces. I like the camera but wish it had blind spot detectors and seat warmers.

Bill C on June 1, 2021

My car: the epic story of a 2018 Toyota corolla.

Great headroom compared to my previous vehicle, but difficult to assess how close I am to a curb, when parking in my apartment parking spot. Kind of noisy interior but excellent gas mileage. Also, I think there are too many bells and whistles in the car, some of which are admittedly helpful, but others seem superfluous and unnecessary.

Langston K on June 1, 2021

Want great tires and keys! Buy this car right away.

Great car, only problem we've ever had was with a recall on a few parts which Toyota called us about and we got it fixed right away. The keys work great, everytime we put them in the engine it starts right up which is great. The tires are good as well. All of them are the same color and work great. All in all this was a great purchase.

Kaylee N on June 1, 2021

I love the Toyota corolla.

I absolutely love the car I have right now. I like the fact that the car has an incredible feature where the car beeps if you are over the lines in the road, and also steers you back into the middle. That is great for wind storms, which we have often.

Acacia R on May 28, 2021

It has some great features with an interesting security system.

In my car, sometimes I am facing steering problems, it gives an average mileage and I am really reliable on it as it has the door of power with two stage unlock. The interior of this car is really comfortable to me. It has airbags for the driver and front passenger as safety materials.

Marta C on May 28, 2021

2018 Toyota corolla my favorite feature would be the color... It is red.

My 2018 Toyota corolla is the best thing I have. I know I can go places without having any car problems. My car saves gas and on top of that is pretty nice. My car is red and has a flat screen, you can connect Bluetooth. I’ll definitely recommend having a 2018 Toyota corolla!

Jade S on May 27, 2021

2018 Toyota corolla bottom of the line.

My car gets great gas mileage on the highway which is super convenient, but the tank is small so I have to fill up a lot. The inside is very spacious, but there is no sunglasses holder or coin slot. It is a good car for getting around. I would recommend this car for someone who wants good gas mileage.

Kate P on May 24, 2021

Reliable and does it is job.

I drive about 1000 miles a week for work. This car has needed only basic maintenance work done on it, so I would say that this car is reliable. It rides nicely and smooth. The only issue I have is that it is small and light, so when going over a windy bridge, heed a little caution.

Vinh T on May 18, 2021

Quiet, unassuming corolla wins hearts of many.

We have a 2018 Toyota corolla that is a luxury edition. In terms of performance, it runs like a modern car should. It gets good gas mileage, is very quiet, and has not died on us once. The features include power steering, lane assist, and Bluetooth although it does not have CarPlay which we like to use.

Desiree S on May 16, 2021

This car has good quality seat and tier. Biggest issue is transmission failure.

I love this vehicle. This is very comfortable. Mostly I use this vehicle for regular basis. The brake of the car is best I think. Also this looking very good. It also in a budget price. Toyota corolla problem owners have the biggest issues regarding transmission failure.

Dana C on May 15, 2021

Simple and affordable with great fuel economy.

I think that the 2018 Toyota corolla le is a fantastic car with great fuel economy and a smooth ride. I have the base model and I couldn't be happier. If you are a simple guy or gal who just needs to get back and forth to work or even if you are a person that drives long distances this car is for you.

Ricardo A on May 10, 2021

The exterior paint has maintained its beauty throughout the years.

My Toyota has had no problems whatsoever, the exterior look has maintained its integrity perfectly, the handling is smooth the interior is beautiful, just as the day I took it over. The engine is very fuel efficient and never had to spend a lot of money to fill the gas tank.

Kelsey O on May 10, 2021

Great family car! Lots of room in the front, Bluetooth connection.

Love my car! Great on gas, cute, huge trunk. The only thing I would change is that when the vehicle sensor that tell you to break it there are cars in front of you are breaking, it beeps. My wish would be that it would also break for you. The beep just scares me.

Wendy C on May 7, 2021

One of the best part is the touch screen for settings.

If you are looking for something not too expensive and at the same time comfortable, than a Toyota corolla might be a fit for you. It has Bluetooth and can connect to your devices very easily, it shows you on the screen how much battery your device has left and how much signal you have. It does have a touch screen which I think is very easy and helpful. I have had this car for about a year now and haven't really had any issues or problems. The seats are very comfy and adjustable. I believe it has enough space for a few passengers as well as the trunk.

Thomas L on May 4, 2021

Good looking, affordable and reliable.

It is easy to drive and beautiful. It is affordable and does not look cheap. I really like it is outlook and color. It is flexible on the road and reliable when driving. It performs well in rainy days or sunny days and the system seldom has problem. It is power is just suitable for city driving and also good for long distance.

Yanisleydis R on April 29, 2021

The car is very economical and consume less gas than other vehicles.

This vehicle is pretty comfortable and consume low gas. The stereo is pretty good if you like heard music while you are driving. The seat are comfortable as well. Do not buy the whole color because it changes color to yellow. I prefer silver color. The model seems pretty modern.

Cathy T on April 27, 2021

The best things about the XLE module are the features and nice dashboard.

The vehicle performs well and last for a long time despite the commute I take. When I had school or work I was living from home so I commuted Monday through Friday from Oakland California to Santa Clara California. The vehicle is in great conditions and with regular checks up and mileage check it is great. There were times when I was coming to a slow break and the auto break did come on a handful of times. But in all the car is great and is my top used car.

The best car for people who love elegance and comfort.

It is a vehicle that has been with me for two years, but it works like the first time, great quality, smooth to handle, ideal for any member of the family, spacious, with good speed, it has had the usual maintenance that any vehicle should have. In addition, Toyota stands out as a brand that manufactures high quality and durable vehicles.

This vehicle has sport mode. And it's amazing.

I love driving my car because it is smooth and is easy to drive. I enjoy the way to speeds up on the freeway and zooms the way it does. I think others will enjoy this vehicle also. I've always been a Toyota fan but the sport mode button is a whole different level of great. You can get up and go in situation you normally wouldn't be able to.

The Toyota corolla is a great car.

The car is very comfortable and reliable. I love that the gas tank can be filled up at an affordable price. A few great things about this make and model is that it has a backup camera, it'll help you break when you are too close to the car in front of you, and it also notifies you and helps out your car back in lane if it thinks you are swerving. I just wish it had push to start car option.

Toyota corolla: reliable and great.

This is a very reliable car. I have had it for a few years and have had no problems. The gas mileage is a big plus of the car. It is cheap to fill up and will bring you a long way. I have had no issues and Toyota has been very good to work with. If you need to get it fixed it is very easy. I love my Toyota corolla and plan on having it for a long time. This is a great reliable car at a great price. It is small but can still comfortably fit 5 people in it. The speakers are good, the control station is easy to use and has everything you need. I would recommend this to anyone's first car buying experience.

Best car out there Toyota corolla 2018.

My 2018 Toyota corolla is an amazing vehicle. The outside trim of the car is very slick and flows well. The inside has comfortable seats that you can move to fit your size. The interior has a big touchscreen right in the middle that makes it easy to get directions up as well as changing songs. The back seat is very roomy for any sized person.

The gag is the Toyota corolla is one of the safest cars.

I love my vehicle because it was my first car. It saves me on gas. I can put $20 in my car and it lasts me for a week. I can drive my car to my parent’s house and do not fill up the entire way. I love the lane assistance on my vehicle. I love the safety features when I am too close to another car. My car is perfect for me. A car that you truly have to drive for yourself to feel its features.

I love my Toyota corolla. It is my number one vehicle and I am proud.

I do not have any problems with this vehicle. It is good on gas, mileage and maintenance. I love the entire and the body work. This car has always been my dream car. I would recommend this car to any first time buyers. It is an amazing vehicle and it will last you a decade if you take really good care of it.

Mr.

I have had mine (1018) for more than a year and like it, but the entertainment panel "freezes" and can't be changed until the key is turned off. I am not happy with a cruse control that downshifts going downhill. That's what the brake is for!

Toyota corolla le 2018. Good Mileage, decent comfort, could be better.

There are no issues with my car. The comfort level could be better. The ac vents are on the front seats but there are no vents on the back so it gets quite uncomfortable on a hot day. However the car has good mileage and it drives smoothly so other than the ac issue it's pretty decent.

Julia C on April 7, 2021

Overall great economy car.

I like the features of this car especially the collision warning sensors. I wish the dash showed the psi of each individual tire so I didn't have to test each one manually. The gas mileage is great because I am a commuter but I dislike the small tank that comes with that. Overall it's a comfortable and efficient car for my lifestyle.

Courtney S on April 4, 2021

Overall good car. Only complaint would be it fogs up terribly while defrosting.

It is a good car overall, not many complaints. Could be better in the snow in my personal opinion, it slides a little more than I thought it would considering it was a brand new car when I bought it. The features in the car are nice though, it heats up and cools off in a good amount of time. One thing that is terrible is the defroster. The windows fog up very bad when it gets super cold and it will not defog in its own.

Sudden slow down when driving.

My Toyota corolla is very comfortable to drive. The performance has been really great! The car is reliable I can always count on it getting me where I need to go. I like the feature of the back-up camera, and the lane reminders if you happened to get a little too close to the line. The only real problem that I have had is that we live in an area where there is occasionally ice and snow. As the ice melts around the window sometimes it will block the front camera and cause the car to use brakes to slow down suddenly and lights are flashing on the dash and with a message saying that there is debris blocking the camera. It is very startling to have this happen as you are driving down the highway. That is really the only problem that I have had with the car.

Courtney K on April 2, 2021

Overall safety and economical value.

I am a sales consultant and spend a lot of time in my vehicle. It is economical for getting around town with excellent gas mileage. The overall safety and comfort I feel while driving is superb. My desire is to have more trunk space and charging ports in the back seat. I would recommend this vehicle option to those who place a lot of miles on their vehicles and those looking to purchase a safe, economical vehicle for their first time driver in the family.

Tracy A on March 31, 2021

Looks and runs great. I love my Toyota.

My car is very reliable, runs great. It is extremely comfortable and looks great. I have not any problems what do ever with this vehicle. I have been a Toyota enthusiast for over 20 years. I not think of another vehicle I would rather drive than a Toyota.

Cameron D on March 29, 2021

Reasonably price reliable and comfortable.

I love the Corolla for its fuel mileage and maneuverability, I feel like I am in a 30 thousand dollar car even though its a cheap entry level compact. I do wish the seat had more adjustment to it but I can live with it, my three kids all enjoy the car and how much space it offers to them for road trips.

Carri R on March 28, 2021

Toyota corolla I am 2018 with backup camera, power windows and locks, Bluetooth.

Very dependable, great gas mileage, a little small for family car, love the features especially Bluetooth capability and backup camera. Performance is great a little slow on take offs but picks up speed fast. Easy to drive and rides very smoothly. All in all great car.

Ylenia D on March 28, 2021

The perfect first car with plenty of legroom and great with acceleration.

I haven't had any problems with my vehicle. I have been able to keep up with the services. The only problems that I have had are they have recalls on my car but nothing that has caused my car to not work. I think this car has plenty of legroom and the ac is amazing. One thing that I wish this car had was apple car play but other than that. I have been very happy nothing serious has happened except for chipped paint which is part of the recall and that's the only problem so far.
