Owner Reviews
Mirtha C
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Maegan C
Super comfortable, reliable, and I love the cameras!
I absolutely love my Honda civic! I think that the best part about it is the blind-spot camera that is on the passenger side rear view mirror. It comes on the screen whenever you turn on your right turn signal. I also love the backup camera. I have never been able to back into parking spots until getting this car. It is also super comfortable and reliable! I have has it for two years and never had any issues with it this far.
Mary L
Great sporty economical car.
I like this car very much. It gets great mileage both in town and on the highway. The turbo charged engine has good acceleration. I especially like the safety features such as the backup camera and the radio controls on the steering wheel. The car is a little noisy on the highway.
Jas M
Great starter car! This is perfect for kids just learning to drive!
I absolutely love this car! It has excellent gas mileage and is very dependable. In the two years that I have had mine, I have yet to have any issues! However, I do not recommend the coupe style for individuals that commonly have more than two people (or pets) in the car regularly.
Kelsey H
The sleek civic hatchback.
Absolutely love the car. Very spacious for a road trip. Great gas mileage highway. The apple CarPlay is very helpful and looks very clear on the screen. The hatchback gives it the very sleek look to the car. Rides very good and smooth. Would be a very good car for a new driver.
Emily F
Love it! Highly recommend it.
I bought mine used so anything I do not like is the fault of the previous owner. Great car, I wish it handled well in the snow but oh well. If the lower level trim is awesome. The clips that keep the driver’s floor mat in place also seem kind of weak.
Jiana M
It has right and rear cameras.
It's a great second hand car. Great conditions. Great mileage. Love the dark blue color. It has heated front seats and an inbuilt GPS systems. Supports SiriusXM radio, too. Ac and heater system works well and fast. The defrosters are a bit slow, but still work.
Bob J
Honda civic 2018: a robust, technologically-forward vehicle.
Overall, it is pretty great. It performs as well as needed for my purposes. It has a lot of smart displays and smart-touch components. It has great integration with apple CarPlay. The audio quality is great with controllable treble and bass. It has a nice graphics UI on the touchscreen. It is comfortable to drive in and gives decent legroom. It visually looks awesome as a car in my opinion. The mpg is pretty decent compared to most other cars in the same price range. The car is pretty good for its price range. There are a lot of controllable components. I have no complaints so far, and I really am happy that I have the car.
TRAY M
The Honda runs great and is stylish.
It is great on gas mileage, it is comfortable, it is stylish, comes with good functions and easy to use functions, no problems with anything on this vehicle, nothing has needed to be replaced, runs great no problems at all, I would buy it again.

Haley M
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.
Joyce T
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.
Langston K
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.
Thomas L
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.
Courtney S
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.
Sheryl F
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.

Jannay B
Honda civic 2018 review of car.
My car is perfect for someone that is not over the top but still wants to ride a bit in style. Very sleek and clean. The only issue is the USB port area is not in the best location. Very hard to reach sometimes so using it is not often. It offers the standard things you may need in a car.
Sade W
Love my Honda civic just hate the lowness.
The only problem that I have with my car is the lowness it is to the ground. It can be a problem when I am driving my parents around town, they often complain of back problems due to the lowness of the car and the difficulty getting in and out of the car. I love the gas mileage I am able to get and it does not take much to fill up and my tank last for a week with traveling 15 mins to and from work and weekend miles. I also love the dashboard it is easy to view while driving. Overall I love my car just hate the lowness to the ground.
Ben W
Civic sport touring downfalls.
Occasionally the adaptive cruise control does not work, the lane keep assist does not work that well or on a straight road it chimes at you to steer even if you are steering but still driving straight. The road noise has gotten very loud in the last two years although I have put 100k miles on it so it is somewhat understandable.

Pros & Cons from Owners
2018 Toyota Corolla
Alice B.
I appreciate the ease of handling that the car has, as well as all of the safety features including the rear airbags, cruise control radar and lane monitoring. The touch screen console is user friendly and the car itself is nice.
Alice B.
Damage can be amplified, but that may be the way the cars are made nowadays. If the paint becomes chipped then it seems to chip faster and the exposed metal rusts, any body damage can be costly because a whole piece may need to be replaced.
Sarah B.
Comfortable. Drives smoothly. Tons of space. Radio is easy to work. Holds 5 people and very easy to get in and out of. The back up camera is wonderful as you can see all around behind of the car. The engine is quiet.
Sarah B.
The main thing that I dislike about my vehicle is the size of the engine. I wish that it had a larger motor like a v6. I also wish that the center console wasn't so high up and that the glove compartment were larger.
Christine K.
I like that my vehicle is good on gas, smooth ride, and have some features that I love such a backup camera and Bluetooth. I like that my car ha la decent trunk space and the backseat is spacious as well.
Christine K.
Some cons of my vehicle is that is it small, so it is a little cramped for my tall husband and my large dog. Also, the cab is not very quiet so I find myself having to turn the volume up very loud for music and phone calls when driving on the highway.
Elizabeth J.
The leather interior, easy to clean. The power seats, easy to adjust. Large inside. The overall quality, and feels like luxury. The music system, answer and dial calls, Large trunk, very spacious. And the compartments for storage.
Elizabeth J.
There are not any for me but others there may be. Such as the price, the large size may not be suitable for them, the music system may be more than they want, wish the electronic system screen wasn't that high and lower down to be less distracting.
Pros & Cons from Owners
2018 Honda Civic
Jessica R.
It is good on gas, it is very fast. The trunk space is pretty good. The only bad thing is the wheels on the rims have to switch out tires often. It is a low maintenance car. It is good on gas and mileage.
Jessica R.
Since it was brand new it was expensive. The car has rims and the can easily get damaged so I have to be very on point with the tires and get them maintained often. The car runs so smooth you do not realize you are speeding at times.
Brandon B.
The Pros of my car are that this car comes with a lot of features both inside and out. From a nice screen display to having a camera on the right hand camera to see when making a lane change. It also drives very nice and gets good gas mileage.
Brandon B.
There are not very many cons to this vehicle. The only con that they have fixed in the new cars is that when you are in reverse you cannot adjust the speed of the air coming out. This is not convenient when you are in reverse on a hot summer day and cannot blast the air. This is a small con but just something that came to mind.
Christina J.
The backup camera is amazing and has great detail. The Apple CarPlay is super cool and very easy to use and feels much safer and the sound system is very good. My car gets fabulous gas mileage and is very comfortable on long rides.
Christina J.
I wish it had some of the safety features like braking assist and lane assist. Also, more USB ports would be super helpful when the car is full of people and technology for extended periods of time helpful. Other than that I really have no complaints about the car and adore it!
Elise B.
I love the gas mileage this car has as well as the interior features! Apple CarPlay is amazing. The only con I have for this vehicle is how low it is to the ground. It is not necessarily hard for me to get into the car, but it is hard for some of my taller friends to get in the car at times.
Elise B.
The fact that it is so low to the ground can make it uncomfortable for riders to get into the car as well as getting out of the car. What I can think about right now, I currently do not have any other complaints about the vehicle.
