2017 Toyota Corolla Review: Good Year For The Expensive But Dependable Sedan

Alex Showalter

Mar 4, 2022

The 2017 Corolla lasts over 300,000 miles with only minor engine software complaints. At $17,648 – 19,789, it’s pricey for a compact car, but worth the money.

The Good

Passenger room is great, advanced safety technology is standard and ownership costs are low.

The Bad

Performance is weak, interior materials are cheaper than rivals and it’s just boring to drive.

2017 Toyota Corolla: Key Points

Reliability ratings are great for 2017, with no major problems. The 2014–2015 models have more engine and interior issues, any models newer than 2011 are all good choices.
Two weak 4-cylinder engine options: a low-powered base engine, and the Eco version that is more efficient and powerful.
Fuel economy is excellent at up to 34 MPG combined.
Safety ratings are outstanding, earning a perfect 5-star rating in government crash tests and a Top Safety Pick+ Award.
The Corolla is a good car. We have received a lot of positive reviews from owners mentioning great fuel economy, advanced safety features, and affordable ownership costs.

Ed G

Very cool and dependable car for all the family.

The car runs well, has giving me no mechanical problems. It has all the new things you want in cars, camera when you go on reverse, electric locks, windows, and drivers seat. Very good sound system and radio and the Toyota warranty. It has good suspension, does not consume a lot of fuel on highway and moderate on short drives.

Ashley J

Best car in the entire world must get one.

I love my car. It gets me where I need to go. The air gets cold really quick, and the heat gets hot really quick as well.

Yuko I

Because good quality, I would recommend this.

It is a very safety, clean and trustworthy. When I bought the is also my favorite. He says he always enjoys driving. It, I was exciting. I ride this car with my husband. You can get a cheaper price if you buy this car second hand. It can be used for a long time and is not too expensive.

Aidan L

Toyota corolla is a nice car and perfect for people.

Nice and easy to use. Cool features too. Sound system and everything is good. Smooth drive and decent space. Ac is working well and does not disappoint. No problems so far and everything works well. Recommend this car it was my first car and I think it is a perfect first car.

Brianna R

The reliable 2017 Toyota corolla.

Overall I have never had any problems with my vehicle. I just have to do maintenance on it regularly. It is reliable and the seats are comfortable. I have basic features, but it's better to have it this way so I do not have to replace anything. The features are wonderful, I have no complaints.

Kenz M

2017 Toyota corolla 'snoball'.

I love the car. Very good on gas which is great because I drive everywhere. It beeps at you when you are driving outside the lines. The seats are comfortable, car is roomy. When in cruise control the car starts to break when it notices a car in front of you.

Sam N

This car is fast and fab and attractive.

I love my Toyota Corolla. Buying this car was the best decision I have ever made. It is the perfect size, good on gas the interior is very appealing. It’ll still have value when I am done paying it off. My husband and I plan to stick with Toyota vehicles for the long run.

Marie H

Easy and comfortable car to drive as well as very economical.

My vehicle is very reliable it is very easy to drive. It is extremely easy to park. It has 4 doors so it is easy for passengers to get in and out off. And the gas mileage is awesome. There is also plenty of legroom in the back seat area, I have not any negative issues with this car so far.

The thing is after it broke I try to open again it works For several times , it so weird the trunk actuators is already broke no more spring but still works.i will never buy again a Toyota Corolla.

LEHA

Was a LOYAL TOYOTA owner

Had corollas, Camry, Matrix, and never had a problem like with this MODEL and YEAR, just name it, noise in front tires and steering wheel, transmisión not shifting ( before recall) USB on radio NEVER WORKED inside gas compartment there is a rubber seal BROKEN due to off centered gas tank neck that (PENSKE of Downey) wants me to pay $500.00 Before never had a problem with them but now will think TWICE to buy another TOYOTA most of all with that UNPROFESSIONAL TECH SUPPORT and mechanics at dealers Took me 6 plus month and too many trips and time to take care of problems finally I gave up and hire my own MECHANIC and pay for repairs to solve problems

Angel Odzhakov

Taxi Driver

Problems started at 90k miles. O2 sensor went bad. Very Disappointing for Toyota Corolla.I bought it brand new but never again will buy Corolla

Alley E

Toyota Corolla car review.

This vehicle is very small, uncomfortable. Drives fairly well and the gas mileage is good but that is about it. Also the payment is under 300 which is nice but after the lease is up we are definitely trading it in. Toyota’s in general are awesome so probably a RAV4 or 4Runner.

Shana M

It's not worth buying or leasing. It is very basic, even at the higher models.

I thought I'd be getting a good deal on a solid car, but I feel like I'm driving a cheap roller skate around. It doesn't accelerate very fast, it's small, and it's plastic feeling

Jeromy baldwin

Nothing but problems

Im never buying another toyota again. The car gets way less gas mileage that 400 a tank.more like 300 a tank on the highway. Makes noises. Its been recalled ALREADY. Toyota is horrible.car only has 28k miles on it.

Leigh H

Highlights an interesting messages.

My car is brand new it has not failed at the moment, I do maintenance all the time, and I keep my car up to date so that I do not present any fault, grateful and holy with the brand for such a good car I made a very good choice for this brand, I was very comfortable with my car.

Diana P

Many bells and whistles for the price.

The mileage was high when we bought it..Almost 60,000. We just drive it around town. It has many special features for an older car. It even tells you when you are driving outside the white lines. The radio is good. And it has a CD player. The console is very high tech. The gears are a little weird. There is a swerve-like maneuver when you change gears. It seats 5 comfortably. It was recalled shortly after we bought it for a glitch in the seat belt which they fixed at no expense to us. The trunk is large. It has a spare and a jack. It has 4 doors and the key opens and locks the doors. It is off-white, a color they call eggshell.

Top Critics Reviews

Consumer Reports finds the Corolla to be one of the top compact cars, with high owner satisfaction ratings.
Edmunds rates the Corolla 3.4/5 with a lot of standard features for the money, but boring to drive.
Kelley Blue Book gives the Corolla a 4.2/5 loving the standard safety features, but missing infotainment technology in other cars.

What Problems Does the 2017 Toyota Corolla Have?

Problems are relatively minor for 2017 and include the engine software, brakes wearing out fast, and some door lock issues. The number of problems remain quite low on Corollas from 2016 through 2021.

Over revving engines is the most common complaint from owners at about 6,000 miles. A common cause is a vacuum leak at the intake manifold. A new gasket costs under $100 to install.

Premature brake pad wear is another issue on cars happening around 30,000 miles. There are aftermarket pads which last longer, and cost about $350 to install. Some owners have also replaced brake boosters costing over $500.

Door lock problems are relatively rare at around 60,000 miles. The actuators and computer have some issues that are not widespread. In some cases resetting the locks fixes the problem, and a new key fob battery can also solve some issues.

The Corolla has 3 recalls, average for a compact car. Recalls include spare tire air pressure, load labels, and airbags. None of the recalls are very serious, and once the airbags have been replaced for free they are no longer a concern.

How Long Will the 2017 Toyota Corolla Last?

A properly maintained Corolla can last over 300,000 miles and is one of the longest lasting compact cars. Outlasting top competitors including the Sentra or Jetta by over 100,000 miles. Repair Pal estimates annual ownership costs to be average at $421 per year.

As a Corolla reaches 150,000 miles, items owners should prepare to replace include fuel pumps for $500, serpentine belts costing $80, and oil pressure sensors which cost $120.

Mark R

The only problem that I am currently having is with the tpms. That might actually be because there is an air leak in one of my tires.

Tania S

As far as I know, there is not any problems with the vehicle. Some people may have problems but I haven't had any concerns yet.

Anat L

It is relatively new, and we keep it in good condition, so I trust the car. Maintenance is important, since I have to drive the car to work, and I would hate to get stuck.

Jenny H

I have had my car for 2 1/2 years and it is very reliable. I have not had any problems. I have taken several road trips and it runs great.

Keri B

Extremely reliable. I have had the car for 3 years and I have not had any issues to date. Even in the winter when my car sits outside in negative temperatures it always starts right up.

Michael W

Yes. No problems. There is electronic maintenance schedule built in to the vehicle that allows you to monitor all engine functions.

JACKIE B

The 2017 Toyota corolla le is quite reliable. The only problem area for me has been the console/radio - it has required replacement twice and additional updates.

Jared J

It is a very reliable vehicle that I can count on and depend on. I trust this vehicle completely to get me where I am going and back.

How Much is the 2017 Toyota Corolla Worth?

Blue book prices range from $17,648 – 19,789, making the Corolla more expensive than other compact sedans When new, the price range was $18,500 to $22,680. Depreciation is excellent, only losing about 2% per year in current market conditions.

What Technology & Safety Features Are Included?

Technology is great but CarPlay and Android Auto are missing in the Corolla. The most recent update was added for 2017, with the next redesign coming in 2020.

Base technology includes a 6.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth, USB, and a 6-speaker stereo system.
Optional upgrades include a 7-inch stereo system, navigation, Toyota EnTune smartphone applications, and satellite radio.
Standard safety features include a rearview camera, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, and adaptive cruise control.

What Engine Options are Available?

Performance is poor, taking 9.2 seconds to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour.

The base engine is a weak 1.8L 4-cylinder with 132 horsepower.
A retuned, more efficient 1.8L 4-cylinder in the Eco model is only slightly stronger at 140 horsepower.

What Color Options are Available?

How Big is the Corolla?

The 2017 Toyota Corolla is a compact car, similar in size to the Forte, and Elantra. Passenger room is above average in the back seats, but some taller adults may feel cramped.

Cargo space is similar to rivals, with 13 cubic feet of room in the trunk, fitting 3 to 4 suitcases.

How Does the 2017 Toyota Corolla Compare to Other SUVs?

The highest-rated compact car from 2017 is the Volkswagen CC, which is in the same price range. Where the CC stands out is with an upscale interior, but the Corolla is more reliable. Long term, we recommend the Corolla since they are more affordable to own.

Another close competitor is the more expensive Honda Civic. The Civic stands out as being a more fun car to drive, but there are more safety features found on the Corolla. Overall, both are very similar, but if you want a longer lasting car go with a Corolla.

Yes. My vehicle has been working fine and has not given me any major problems. It was bought second hand so there were a few minor issues that had to do with the tpms. However, it is low on mileage and I believe that it will run well.

Tania S

Yes. It is very efficient on the road. Fit for a family. Has good gas mileage. Smooth and relaxing rides.

The price was good also.

Keri B

Yes. I have an eco setting so I get great gas mileage and there are excellent safety features for when my daughter starts driving.

Michael W

Yes. Great fuel economy and handling. The newer models have great safety features. Good sound system and room in the back seat for adults.

JACKIE B

Yes, the 2017 Toyota corolla is an excellent vehicle, I love the safety features, including the lane departure and the radar detection for when I am near other vehicles.

Valerie W on June 25, 2021

Best compact car around!

The toyota corolla is reliable, durable and economically friendly. It has bluetooth which is my favorite part of the car. It gets great gas mileage and it is perfect for driving in atlanta. If they would add heated seats it would be perfect. I would purchase another corolla in a heartbeat.

Alex G on June 25, 2021

Toyota is cool brand and special.

The vehicle runs excellent, performs well and is a unique car for any car lover, plus Toyota offers excellent technology better than other competitors. Toyota is a great brand, plus I love the brand's technical support that is always available to offer adequate help. It is a Japanese brand that offers a vehicle with all the appropriate accessories.

Troy T on June 25, 2021

Perfect economical purchase.

I love the features on the car the lane drift warning the cruise control and the ac is perfect. The car gets great gas mileage and never has any issues. I've had for 3 months now and the gas mileage is perfect for the far drives I go through a-lot. Definitely recommend.

Craig L on June 25, 2021

The car is very safe and easy to drive.

I think there could be a better sound system for the car. Other than that, the car has great safety features such as a back camera which makes it easier to back up. It has a four wheel drive that makes it easy to drive in all weather conditions as well.

Faith E on June 24, 2021

It is reliable and cost efficient.

It is quite convenient and reliable, it is a gas efficient car, I do not spend a lot to fill up the tank. It only allows Bluetooth and USB, you cannot extend your phone settings to the car. It has a backup camera but no sensors on the side. Overall, it is been great, I have used it for a year now.

Tanner M on June 24, 2021

Great ride. All in all a perfect car for someone who travels a lot.

Great ride! Very comfortable, reliable on gas. Full package. Heated seats, sunroof, auto locks and windows. Spoiler. Premium sound package. Alloy wheels. Drives very smooth. Great safety features with Toyota safety sense. Great radar cruise control. Great overall.

Annemarie B on June 24, 2021

The 2017 Toyota corolla and my experience.

I really like the car but my only problem I have with it is that it does have a lot of blind spots. The front window can kind of be hard to see out of on the sides, but I have been driving this car for years and I have never had any problems. The car itself is very stylish and comfortable. It can fit a lot in the trunk as well as the back seat. I have used the car to drive back and forth from college and I was able to fit everything in the car and I only had to do one trip. You can fit 5 people in the car including the driver. The car also as aux and charger adapters for your phone and you can easy call people using the car and you can also easily listen to music as well. The last thing to mention is how incredible the gas mileage on this car is. Some cars need gas at least once a week but this car I could go almost 3 weeks without having to fill the tank. Also related to the gas each trip when I do need gas is at most $28 I have never had to spend over $30. Which in the long run saves you a lot of money. This car is great, and it also makes me feel very safe as well. I use it to drive back and forth to college, work every day, and anything else I need.

Ethan P on June 23, 2021

Toyota corolla is a great starter car with a few problems.

I think my corolla is easy to drive and feels safe. I get around 30 mpg which is nice. I feel like the visibility is not that great as a taller guy. My other main problem with the car is that the high beams feel really weak and do not add much visibility. Seeing in the fog is difficult as well.

Cristina W on June 22, 2021

Great buy! Don't miss out.

I love my car, the gas mileage is fantastic, it is reliable and I like how it drives. I have 2 kids, so most of the time there are 3-4 of us in the car and it has more room than you'd think. We always have plenty of space and we can shop or travel without issue.

Trinity B on June 17, 2021

A comfortable spin into the newer generations of technology.

I just bought this car less than a month ago and it was a total upgrade from prior vehicles I have owned. I genuinely enjoy the car I am driving now because of its reliability and all over performance as my day to day car. I personally love my touch screen radio as well as my reverse camera I have set up in the back to aid me backing out. And I also love the cosmetic look of the car itself. It is a newer generation car that drives exquisitely.

Shaina J on June 15, 2021

This car is perfect for drivers of all experience levels.

I love this car. It is fuel efficient, rides smoothly, and looks great. There’s smooth handling on the steering and it is an easy car to handle. It is responsive to steering changes quickly. It is comfortable and just an all-around excellent vehicle.

Alicia B on June 15, 2021

Beautiful sleek stylish practical smooth.

I have no problems with my car. It works perfectly fine and I really love it. It is newer as stylish with a lot of safety features built into it. I also like the bluetooth speakers in the car. It would be a good beginner car for anyone learning how to drive.

Clayton C on June 14, 2021

Love the handling. Love the zip on it.

No problems. Runs smooth. Love the handling. If I have to take it on the highway or back roads, it is extremely reliable and dependable. We also love our rav 4. If we get another vehicle, I have a feeling that it will be another Toyota. Unless it is a truck, then maybe a Chevy. I do wish it had apple car play through.

Saad Z on June 13, 2021

Toyota corolla 2017 review.

Well our family has been using Toyota for decades now. Being asian we prefer asian auto companies. We are very pleased with our Toyota corolla so far. It is performing as well as we could have expected. The comfort level is decent and we have some great safety features like Toyota cars always do.

Selena P on June 12, 2021

It's a small car its black and cleans up nicely good gas mileage.

To small, very touchy, gets messy fast due to being small, it's just a hear to there car I want to upgrade to a SUV. It's a good car of maybe one person but not a small family that likes to go places with a little boy. It's a good gas mileage car but it's just not the right size for me but the gas is a plus.

Adam M on June 10, 2021

Reliable, fairly responsive and good looking!

The only problem I had was a battery that lasted a year but it was warrantied. It is been extremely reliable. No issues with the mechanics of the body. The ride is a little tight and you feel just about every crack in the road. I am sure premium tires will help. The interior is really nice. It does not feel or look cheap. Nothing has broke in the interior. It has a feature where your cruise control will automatically slow down if there’s a slower vehicle ahead and then it sorted up when it is no longer there. It has a steering assist that keeps your car in its lane. Obviously I like this car.

Corbin D on June 9, 2021

2017 Toyota corolla: a well-made car.

I bought my car used 2 years ago, and I have yet to have any problems from it. The car has a decently smooth ride and is in perfect working order. The 4 cylinder engine has enough power to get me up to speed when I need it, and I average 33+ mpg. If I had to make a complaint, I'd say that the engine is a bit loud when accelerating, but I love the car and it has already seen me through over 10 road trips in the last 2 years.

Mya D on June 7, 2021

The car is in really good shape even after three years!

The vehicle is amazing! I have had it for about three years now and it still is working perfectly. The interior is neat and the chairs are extremely comfortable. It had a backup camera and a Bluetooth system. I have had to take it to get the engine fixed recently. Overall a really great car and is inexpensive.

Nicole B on June 5, 2021

2017 Toyota corolla has been a decent vehicle.

Overall my 2017 Toyota corolla is a decent vehicle. It is now 3 years old and is holding up well. It has had issues with the control arm, had to replace that. From day one it has made a squeaking noise when going over speedbumps or when turning sharply to the right. This was believed to be the struts, replaced those. The noise improved but has never gone away completely. No other issues though really. Prior to this car I have always had Honda civics and I do prefer them. I have enjoyed this corolla but will not buy another one.

Lillian C on June 4, 2021

Toyota corolla 2017- best highlights.

My car is a sleek black car that is matte. It does not have any issues regarding to motor or engine problems. Toyota does have occasional recalls for the brake pedal and other car parts. It has cloth seats and extremely comfortable while driving or being a passenger. The car is a perfect addition for a family of four. Also, it is very economically sound and budget friendly. It is better than a minivan. The car has Bluetooth feature where you can connect your phone to the car and play music playlists. You can take calls as well, it is an useful feature.

Gia G on June 1, 2021

Love the beeping feature when you or others are too close for comfort.

Great safety features. I feel safe when driving around others. Wish there was more space, always doing things for myself, bf and family so I am constantly having a lot of things in my car. Other than that it is a very practical car to have and not a bad price at all.

Cory T on June 1, 2021

2017 corolla sporty, but stained seats.

I haven't really had any problems with the car so far. I have noticed a slight shake while driving that could possibly be related to the alignment. I do not like the seat material at all because they get stained too deeply and way too easily. Other than that I love the sports mode and lane assist.

Ricardo G on May 30, 2021

A nice car to enjoy great moments travelling with the family.

Toyota corolla it is a really nice car for a small family. It is really cheap on gas, it has a good performance and it is really comfortable. Additionally the car is really spacious and the maintenance is really cheap. I really recommended the Toyota corolla as a family car.

Lindsay W on May 28, 2021

Toyota corolla—the most reliable car!

I love this car! It is extremely reliable and makes me feel safe every time I drive it. I love the inside dash and entertainment system. It has Bluetooth audio which is extremely easy to use. It is a super comfortable car with a great trunk size. It is also amazing on gas!

Yenisbel C on May 26, 2021

Amazing car, reliable and economic.

Super reliable and cheap when it comes to gas, a full tank will get you far. I love the trunk capacity and interior space. Secure system and driving assistance is amazing so is the rear camera. I bought this car as my first car ever and will definitely recommend it to anyone over any other model or make.

Christina V on May 26, 2021

A great buy! I love my car!

I have had my car for about 6 months. I am the second owner. It has been a great car. No problems what’s so ever. The back seats have lots of legroom which was important to me. The interior is two toned which is a beautiful touch. Toyota’s have a great reputation and so far I am happy with my purchase.

Melanie S on May 26, 2021

Toyota corolla: cons and pros.

I like the way this car handles, and the interior is very comfortable. Lots of legroom for people in the back seat. One thing I do not like is that the doors unlock as soon as you put the car in park. I find this to be a safety hazard, especially if I have just pulled up to an ATM or into a parking space at a business. For a factory system, the sound system is pretty good.

Christopher S on May 26, 2021

My first Toyota after being a lifelong ford person.

I love my corolla. It is fantastic on gas mileage, it drives wonderfully and I have not had an issue with the car in over 3 years of having it.(knock on wood). I plan to stick with Toyota after being a ford person for so long prior to this. The price, quality, value and return is the best I have had with a vehicle.

Wyett K on May 26, 2021

Toyota corolla 2017 model interesting facts!

For me the corolla is a good compact car. It gets great fuel economy estimates and has an excellent predicted reliability rating. It also has a ton of standard driver assistance features and an easy-to-use infotainment system. When it comes to its performance, I can safely say that it is above average. However, the downside of this Toyota model is that it has an underpowered engine and lackluster handling. It beyond any doubt is powerless in zones which are overlooked by the purchasers, however come on you will love it, for it is light on your pocket, extremely dependable and has an open inside as well. Be that as it may, the real offering point for this vehicle would be the dependability, dealt cost, and the anticipated driving knowledge.

Lukas G on May 26, 2021

This is a very great performing car.

It is great and always keeps going, you should definitely go this route is you want a sporty car that is good on gas. It is very comfortable and good for long car trips, it drives very smoothly and is very quiet. I think this is a car you’d be at least interested in looking into at the least.

Erica B on May 26, 2021

2017 Toyota corolla XLE - overall great car.

Great car! Runs extremely well, great mileage. Maintenance is affordable. Great resale value (when ready). Love that it was fully loaded, leather seats, sunroof, navigation, push to start. Only thing I hate is the navigation is an app you need to run on your phone. Toyota now has apple carplay for newer models.

Richard E on May 23, 2021

It would be the color and the retracting moonroof.

Well, I have a beautiful Toyota corolla. It is a 2017 midnight blue 4-Dr sedan loaded. It has 60,000 miles on it, and at least 240 000 miles left. It has the eco package. The color is the best. I have great gas mileage, over 30 miles per gallon. This vehicle is the nicest I have ever owned.

Amarachi I on May 21, 2021

About my 2017 Toyota corolla xse.

I currently have no problems with my car. Its just about 6 months old since I got it. Its performance is top notch ??. Its very reliable. Has a navigation system & a backup camera. Very comfortable with interior leather design. Heatable seats, adjustable temperature, open rooftop, adjustable seats and steering. The outer design is beautiful to behold and has a daytime riding light.

Rebecca L on May 19, 2021

Reliable and spacious corolla.

The reliability of the corolla is outstanding! I have hit 80k miles and I haven't had to have work done on it expect for routine maintenance. Great car if you commute a lot and want reliability. I love the Bluetooth I can connect my phone wirelessly and play my music, receive phone calls and GPS. It is Toyota’s smaller sedan but the space that it provides is great compared to other smaller models that are not Toyota.

Tyler C on May 19, 2021

It has a sports mode and a traction control mode.

It is a very reliable car. I have had almost no problems with it whatsoever. The sports edition is pleasing to the eye and always catches my attention when I see other owners of my vehicle driving. Some of the stock paint has faded over the years, but Toyota is very consistent with factory recalls. All in all, I highly recommend this vehicle.

Mike V on May 12, 2021

The color is black newer considered a top service for a designer car to buy.

Its very reliable for the family and I keep it up to date with the condition. One of my best cars I have regularly owned in my life. It's a great drivable vehicle which is greatly priceless to gas. I would recommend the car to anyone who is expecting to purchased a new car for themselves.

Carter Y on May 10, 2021

Toyota corolla; a car for everyone.

The 2017 corolla is a very comfortable car. As a newer driver I really appreciate how easily it handles and for being a lower end car, it feels luxury. The corolla is also a very reliable car, it will last you several years and countless miles. I highly recommend a Toyota corolla to anyone looking for a comfortable, and affordable car!

Great well working vehicle. I have had the car for over three years now and haven't had any problem yet. It is very reliable. Gas mileage is really great for me. I usually sit around 30.5 mpg, which in my case is better than most cars. The features of this car is nice too. Great interior and exterior design.

Great family car or first car.

No problems with my Toyota corolla le except your everyday car problems like flat tire, oil, etc. Really great family car or great car for a first time buyer, it is also an eco friendly car up to 25 mph. It is very comfortable and spacious with a good size trunk.

The Toyota corolla: an easy choice.

I love my corolla. It is the third car I have had but the first I purchased myself. It runs amazingly, gets to speed quickly, and the touch screen is an amazing add on when my girlfriend is in the passenger seat playing dj. The only issue is that the from of the car is so low that it sometimes scrapes the ground if you pull out of a parking lot incorrectly. Great car though, I recommend it to pretty much anyone.

Toyota corolla recall review.

I bought a 2017 Toyota corolla. After two months of owning the car I received a letter informing me that this model has a recall on the airbags and the seat belt lock. This was a easy fix. I have had the car for a year and it has ran fine and is the perfect everyday car.

Amazing interior design, reliable.

I honestly love everything about my car. It rides smooth and I have never had any problems with it in the 2 years that I have had it. The seats look amazing and the dash and radio look amazing as well. I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone. It was my first car that I bought for myself and I am extremely happy with my decision.

Great little car that gets you from a to b.

It is very reliable and great on gas. The only problem I have had is a rusty spring sound coming from the front suspension. It was the passenger side lower control arm that had to be fixed but I should not have this issue at 60,000 miles. No other problems.

Toyota corolla 2017 experience.

No issues, nice features. Great on gas, very dependable. Nice interior. Rides very smoothly and is safe for children. Does require much maintenance outside of the basic like oil changes. Parts are affordable, very sleek body style. I would highly recommend this vehicle for any family.

Corolla is the choice car!

Very good on gas. The headlights have different brightness options and can be set to auto. The trunk has enough room to fit a 50 in TV because you can put the seat down. It has lane departure to help guide your car back into the lane when you drift off. The cruise control can be set to speed and distance in which the car can stop. The Bluetooth radio is simple yet state of the art at the same time.

This is basic model car. Nothing really classy or special. Just reliable.

My vehicle seems very reliable. It is a basic model. No luxury features. I have only had to get oil changes. No major repairs. Thank god. Comfort it is okay for small frame people but not roomy for larger sized or tall people. The trunk space is okay. Back seat space is manageable if the people are short in the front see.

Love my corolla: a safe and reliable car.

I love my car. It is great on gas and gets 38 miles per gallon. It also has a notification for when I swerve. It also beeps when I am getting too close to a car in front of me or if someone slams on the brakes. I like the back up camera. It is very safe.

Love it so much all the things it does!

I have no issue with my car, keep it up to date on oil changes and tire rotation and it runs like the day I drive it off the lot! The seats are comfortable, the back seat is roomy and the ac and heat work amazing, love the get up and go it has and the eco button, the features are great like if you get to close to another car it breaks for you.

Rating of my 2017 Toyota corolla.

I enjoy driving my 2017 Toyota corolla. It drives smoothly and is extremely good on gas. I have only had to put in $20 of gas every 2 weeks the last few months. There is one problem tho, and that is that it already has some spots of rust on it. I did receive a type of a recall in the mail about that and they are supposed to repaint the car.

Marla R on April 20, 2021

Great, reliable family car.

My corolla is a very reliable vehicle. It has all the modern conveniences like radar ready cruise control, rear camera, and Bluetooth entertainment. Because it is a small car, it is not as comfortable as a larger car seat, but still great for road trips. Great gas mileage.
