The 2020 Toyota Corolla lasts around 300,000 miles with relatively minor stereo and A/C system issues reported. At $19,400 to $23,025, it’s pricey, but worth the money for one of the most reliable compact cars on the market.

The Good

Positive Owner Reviews

Great design, better features and performance.

I really love my corolla hybrid. It gets pretty great gas mileage when in eco mode. It has a fair amount of power, especially when in performance mode. I really like the interior. The lane correct and other driver assist features are very useful. The car as a whole looks very professional. It is a very smooth ride but more importantly, it is a very quiet ride.

Ana D

Better cruise control technology.

My car is new and I just bought it last week. I have no had time to read the driver's manual, so my opinion is limited but so far I like my car. I used to drive a Toyota corolla 2017 with 4 doors and the new car is very similar except the cruise control. The technology has improved. Before I had to take control of the steering wheel while driving with the cruise control and when the car crossed or got very close to the white line the car will try to correct the car with sudden movements but now the car does not need the driver to take control of the steering wheel and the car stays in the middle of the road; while driving by itself in cruise control I can feel subtle movements to keep the car in the middle of the road even in the curves.

Mel G

This car is a really good buy.

The car runs smoothly and will let you know when it needs maintenance. The car is really easy to understand and the screen is touch screen which makes things easier to use. The seats are very comfortable and the trunk has enough space for all of the things I have for work.

Gypsystorm D

Great car! Reliable, sleek and safe!

My vehicle is very reliable and a smooth ride. I particularly like the sleek look of the car. The fabric interior is a light color so you have to be careful with stains. My car has apple carplay which I love and a big screen for ease of use. One downside to my car that just might be a defect in my personal car, is the fact that the seat sticks when trying to recline it. The gas mileage is fabulous and it is a very safe car. You’ll love the adaptive cruise control!

Jocelyn T

What I love most about this car is the cruise control!

The only thing that was challenging was the screen use for Bluetooth and such. It did come with a manual which was wonderful! I have figured out pretty much everything but the navigation system. I downloaded the application on my phone, as instructed through the manual. Every time I go to use the application on the screen in the car, I will not show me the actual map nor show me where the streets are. It shows me written directions, which is not the safest while driving.

Kyle R

Best gas mileage, has great size, and drives really smooth.

It is a great driving vehicle with awesome gas mileage, wouldn't buy any other car. It has plenty of space for 4 people and drives smooth. It has a good design in the cabin and the silver color is easy to keep clean. The warranty on it really helps with oil changes and other things that may happen with the vehicle.

Ayleen M

Toyota corolla 2020: best car.

There is no problems if I am being honest. The way it drives is very smooth sometimes when I am driving I cannot feel that I am speeding. It has a panel that is compatible with Alexa and apple. It is a great feature because I used to have a salvaged Nissan versa 2012 so it is a big upgrade. I love being able to have my maps in the big screen specially because I need glasses to see so compared to the maps on my phone and on the console is way better quality and bigger letters. It is a very spacious car! The trunk fits two strollers the one for my down and the one for my kid and I still have room to place things on top. The car fits 5 people, I have gone on road trips and my friends said it was a comfortable car to be in. Also it has an sos button which can provide roadside assistance or have the police come if you need them. Another thing is it include swat service which means it can track your car so when it is stolen you can find it. The app for that also includes a part that you can stop the ignition to turn on so one can drive it without you wanting it to.

Elizabeth J

Great mean looking modern sport edition car.

I have no issues with this car I love it and great gas mileage. It has extremely comfortable seats maybe not for someone 6ft but 6’4 fits. Great aesthetics as well, they did a good job at making the car look meaner as a sport edition and very modern as well.

Negative Owner Reviews

Ursula Polakowski

Comfort of driving

Very strong vibration in the seats when the car is stopped on lights and AC is on, in Corolla 2020 LE. Toyota Service Dept. Said , that the vibration is a normal future of this model and advised me " to live with it "

Brett Carver

Audio

The audio system is extremely poor! Toyota offers an optional JBL system but it appears to only be available in the XSE trim. All of the audio is in the front with very little coming from the rear; leaving you with a very unbalanced audio experience. The quality of the sound by comparison to previous years is also poor.

Bonnie R

Toyota corolla is awesome but not enough room for a lot of people.

It works great but I can fit nothing in my car. I cannot even fit a stroller in my car and that is embarrassing. The doors do not open fully so that is why. Other than that everything else works awesome, but when you are having kids it sucks you cannot fit much in it. I know it is a smaller car but at least let me put a stroller in it.

Roy R

The hybrid power is vital to this corolla’s value.

This, my friends, is the beauty of a Toyota corolla. Oh, it is not exterior beauty as with the others. However, Toyota’s 2020 corolla is pleasant enough looking. No, this is simplicity and value delivered in a handsome package so you do not feel like a geek driving an odd-shaped hybrid that garners road rage among those who prefer power over efficiency.

Life threatening :Brand new 2020 stopped suddenly almost causing a crash

Bought the Corolla LE in Feb 2020, car was just in for the free scheduled June maintenance, mentioned car stutters. July the car stalled and came to a full stop and almost caused a crash. Then engine came on and could get car to start.

Dustin

Loud engine

IEngine started out smooth. I loved it the first couple of days or so. About 600 miles on the engine start hearing loud tapping. Service department says-it’s a characteristic of these motors. Then a constant buzzing sound with acceleration. After an oil change it runs good again for a few hundred miles and now the noises are back louder than ever. I expected my first new car purchase to be a memory of pride and happiness instead it’s the worst vehicle I’ve ever owned. Seriously considering trading it in and taking a loss on it to be rid of it and it only has 3,200 miles on it now.

Dave Hay

Wipers not working-Toyota says they do not know why

We have three 2020 Corolla LEs and all three are having a dangerous problem with the wipers. When in intermittent setting the wipers will suddenly freeze and stop working in mid windshield. To get them to work again you have to move it out of intermittent. ALL THREE of the cars are doing this/ Local dealership says they can't find a problem. That is not the right answer. When all three identical models are experiencing the identical problem, this is a factory defect. Anybody else having this problem?

Michael Howel

No Android Auto

I bought a 2020 toyota corolld,worst mistake I've ever made. No android auto, which means no navigation. Toyota could give an update but won't,to busy bragging about it in their 2021 model. Feel VERY ripped off. No more toyotas for me ever.

What Do Critics Say About the Toyota Corolla?

Consumer Reports says the 2020 Toyota Corolla offers improvements on the outgoing models, with good owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds rates the Corolla at 3.5/5, praising the comfortable ride quality, but doesn’t like the limited rear seat headroom.
Kelley Blue Book users give the 2020 Corolla a 4.2/5, enjoying the advanced standard safety features, but owners don’t like the boring driving experience.

What Common Problems Does the 2020 Toyota Corolla Have?

Common problems found on the 2020 Toyota Corolla include the stereo system freezing, a sour smell from the A/C system, along with trouble changing gears in cold weather. Overall, these problems are fairly minor compared to other compact cars on the market, leading to low repair costs as the Corolla ages.

The stereo system freezing is the most widespread complaint on the 2020 Toyota Corolla, showing up in the first 1,500 miles. There are software updates available for the EnTune infotainment system which improves its reliability. Most dealers will install these updates for free, while some charge around $50.

A sour smell from the A/C system is another issue reported by 2020 Corolla owners at around 5,000 miles. Usually the problem is caused by a clogged condenser drain line for the A/C system. Cleaning out the drain line costs around $100, depending on local labor rates.

Trouble changing gears in cold weather also shows up on some Corolla models in the first 5,000 miles. Usually, the problem is just caused by the fluid being thick in extreme cold conditions. Allowing the transmission to heat up, which will cause the fluid to thin out, solves the problem usually.

There are two recalls on the 2020 Toyota Corolla, which is similar to other small cars from the same year. The most serious recall covers the backup lights, which may fail. Toyota will replace the wire harness on affected models for free. The second recall is for a load capacity label, which Toyota will also replace.

How Long Will the 2020 Toyota Corolla Last?

A well-maintained 2020 Toyota Corolla can last over 300,000 miles, which is over 50,000 miles more than competitors like the Honda Civic. Regular annual maintenance costs are lower than average according to data provided by Repair Pal, at $304 per year.

As a used 2020 Toyota Corolla reaches 100,000 miles, and depending on the vehicle history, owners should be prepared to replace the fuel filter costing $130, stabilizer bar links costing $200, along with the crankshaft position sensor which costs $250.

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology is great in the 2020 Toyota Corolla offering a standard 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay. Optional upgrades include a larger 8-inch touchscreen along with more powerful stereo options.

Standard safety technology is excellent for a compact car since it has Toyota Safety Sense which offers:

Rearview camera
Forward collision warning
Adaptive cruise control
Lane keep assist
Traffic sign recognition
Lane tracing assist
Pedestrian detection
Automatic emergency braking
Lane departure warning

The only optional advanced driver assistance feature is blind spot monitoring.

Is the 2020 Toyota Corolla a Good Value?

The blue book fair purchase price ranges from $19,400 to $23,025, making it more than a Kia Forte or Hyundai Accent. When new, the price range was $19,600 to $25,550. Depreciation is better than other small sedans, only losing about 3% of its current value per year.

What Colors Does the Toyota Corolla Come In?

How Comfortable Is the Toyota Corolla?

The 2020 Toyota Corolla provides a comfortable ride with supportive seats and ample space for passengers. The front seats are well-padded and provide good lumbar support, which is important for long journeys. The rear seats also offer a good amount of legroom, making it easy for adults to sit comfortably.

The cabin is also designed to minimize road noise, which contributes to a more peaceful driving experience. Additionally, the climate control system is easy to use and provides ample airflow throughout the cabin. Overall, the 2020 Toyota Corolla offers a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience, making it a great option for those who prioritize comfort and convenience.

How Much Storage Space Does the Toyota Corolla Have?

The 2020 Toyota Corolla comes with a variety of storage options, including a spacious trunk that provides 13.1 cubic feet of cargo space. This should be enough to accommodate several large suitcases or a week’s worth of groceries. Additionally, the rear seats can be folded down to create even more storage space.

The Corolla also has a lot of storage compartments throughout the cabin, including a center console with a sliding armrest and a storage tray. The door pockets can also hold water bottles, and there are cup holders in both the front and rear of the vehicle.

How Does the Toyota Corolla Compare to the Competition?

The Honda Civic is another popular competitor available for about $2,000 less. Where the Honda Civic stands out is with a sportier driving experience, while the Toyota Corolla offers more standard safety technology. We recommend the Toyota Corolla since it lasts longer, although both are excellent cars worth testing to see which you prefer.

The Toyota Camry is a larger sedan offered by Toyota which is about $3,500 more. Passenger room is better in the Toyota Camry, while ownership costs are lower on the Toyota Corolla since it has a more efficient engine. We recommend the Toyota Camry for most shoppers since it’s more practical, although both are excellent cars.

Lisamarie O on June 25, 2021

Very low maintenance automobiles.

I like my new Toyota corolla. It is white in color. It gets great gas mileage. It is an easy driving car. The brakes are good. Very easy steering capacity. Low maintenance. Affordable car with cruise control feature. Anti locking brakes. Power windows and door locks. Drives very smooth.

julie T on June 25, 2021

Comfortable with good gas mileage.

Very smooth and easy to drive. Easy to park, with heated seats. Good for small petite people, not good for tall, heavy people. I miss a CD player, but have Sirius radio. Nice sunroof and very good gas mileage. Not very much storage in glove box and middle console.

Anthony C on June 25, 2021

Zippy but needs improvement.

Loud interior, somewhat rough ride. Steering wheel feels slightly crooked. Loud engine noise. I know I got the low end model, but dang it is a slow car. Takes a while to warm up. I think Toyota is falling behind the curve on innovation on interior features.

Stephen T on June 25, 2021

A comfortable car that drives like a luxury car.

I have 4 door corolla l. A spacious car, this corolla is as big or bigger than the cars of the past years. There is plenty of room in back and front seats it would be nice to have leather seats and remote opener for the doors but for our budget it helped not have those luxuries. The car handles very well on all roads. Picks speed while entering freeway and in passing another car. Plenty of trunk space and seats fold down for longer items. Good gas mileage is a plus. We feel safe and comfortable in our corolla and enjoy being in it.

Sarah B on June 25, 2021

Great and reliable car that is great on gas.

Great car, it is good on gas, it is smooth driving and has a ton of great safety features. I feel safe in this car knowing it is so reliable. I also love the fact that tires and things on these cars are quality but they are also cheaper. This model is great too because it was a bigger easy to reach screen as well.

Nicki W on June 24, 2021

My personal favorite feature.

I like my car a lot. I really love the safety features it has. For example, it notifies me when another car is close to me. It also lets me know when I start to drive outside of my driver’s lane. The safety features are the most important thing to me, it is a perfect car for any new driver’s out there so I plan to get a similar car for my teenage daughter.

Sydney H on June 24, 2021

Why the 2020 corolla se is the best car for a young adult!

I have had no problems with my car! The safety features are great with the lane assist specifically, the seats are more of a bucket-style so feels much roomier, & very intricate design details (the royal blue accenting in the stitching & the digital Toyota emblems appearing once the car turns on) love it.

Susan A on June 22, 2021

Amazing car! Very reliable and safe.

Vehicle is amazing. No problems at all. It is a great family car if you have kids as well. The camera is great help when backing up. You can connect to the Bluetooth if you want to connect your phone. You can listen to youtube while charging your phone. Also once your phone is added to the sources, your parked location saves in your phone. You will never lose your car. It drives really smoothly and is very reliable. I love the car, all you need to do is an oil change and it will run very smoothly.

Ben N on June 15, 2021

About this car is the screen in the front it looks like it is from a luxury car.

The seats inside the car are really comfortable with lumbar support. But if you want to charge your phone in the back seats, you will not be able to because it does not have USB outlets. In another hand the way this puppy saves gas is wonderful. It also has the standard sound quality. But better yet! It is super affordable. For like 22k you get to take it home and see how amazing it is and how comfortable it is in the driver side. Totally recommend this car.

Taryn S on June 12, 2021

Set how many car links you want in front of you when cruise is set.

Car with amazing features. Setting my cruise and the car links in front of me and having steering assist on make driving on the interstate so easy. I also love the touch screen, makes getting what I want really easy. Wi-Fi does not work for me even after I spent money on it, so that is frustrating.

Destin A on June 12, 2021

Blue Toyota corolla le really nice color called blueprint.

I honestly love my car there’s not much say wrong about it I just go the car not to long ago. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to buy a Toyota anytime soon. It is a really lovely car. If you come across the nightshade edition is even nicer than the one that I have currently. It is a car I would suggest for new drivers to because it has lane detection and brake detection as well.

tin Y on June 11, 2021

Good value and something more.

I am loving my 2020 Toyota corollas far coz it's very reliable, the gas mileage is very efficient. Safety features is really good, spacious compared to my 2018 corolla and most of all service is really helpful. Worth every penny that I am paying. No cons so far.

John E on June 9, 2021

Great small car with excellent design.

Very well built car with great design and an excellent reliability. Very good price and excellent gas mileage. Very roomy and comfortable ride. Loaded with high technology items including apple carplay. Great colors with two years of basic free service.

Shelby T on June 7, 2021

It is black, it is a 2020 model, and I just discovered is the automatic lights.

Our vehicle is amazing. I find new things I love about it every day. It is reliable, the seats are comfortable, air conditioning/heat do not take long at all to get started up, and it is just absolutely amazing. I will always recommend others to buy a Toyota.

John R on June 7, 2021

Extremely safe and reliable car.

Very reliable car and amazing on gas mileage, also drives really well, doesn't have a lot of power. But it is a pretty nice car. It's nice knowing that you feel very comfortable with your vehicle and know whenever you go will make it. My car is super safe has sensors all around the car and brake assistant.

Aiyanna B on June 7, 2021

Black 2020 corolla; excellent.

I am a first time buyer, but my dad works for Toyota, so helped me picked the best car that was affordable for me. So far, it is an excellent choice with no real issues. The biggest thing is one of my hub caps is slightly warped but nothing to worry about. Overall great.

Jennifer A on June 7, 2021

The color looks and makes the car feel more expensive and fancy.

No problems: gas is great, car runs smooth, and car is comfortable. When I got the car, the employees were super friendly and helpful. I had many selections to choose from and the price was cheaper than expected. I will always choose Toyota in the future when buying or leasing cars for myself and my future family.

Dayy D on June 5, 2021

10/10 amazing vehicles would get.

Amazing. I love it good on gas. Drives very smooth would recommend. Toyota are by far the best cars you can possibly buy. Corollas are amazing. If you want a hybrid it is a gas saver. 10/10 would recommend a rav4 if you have a big family. Love it alot.

Scott G on June 5, 2021

Affordable and economic sedan.

Sleek and stylish design, safe and comfortable, affordable pricing and good gas mileage, a good company and dealership to work with. The new lane transfer assistance is a helpful safeguard while driving on the highway. This feature also maintains a safe distance from the car ahead of you.

Kiara V on May 31, 2021

Best car ever is Toyota corolla, love it this is my second corolla.

This is my second Toyota corolla and I love them! Always get compliments from people about the look of the car very stylish. It drives really well in all weather even snow for a small car. It is a great commuter car. The new model is very nice love the apple CarPlay addition. Makes it really easy to do everything hands free with the Bluetooth option and wireless option.

Swarna C on May 30, 2021

Most interesting detail is the display feature lets you out your podcast up.

I love the display area. However hate that it always has to connect to the phone, there weren't any clear instructions on how to navigate the technology. Which would have made things easier. It was hard to figure out the different features and how to work them and how to set them up. The car seats are overall comfortable. But the seat belts do not go around comfortably. There’s plenty leg room which is nice in the front. However in the back the leg room is limited. It was costly to fix the damaged door since it is a new car. However it is a Toyota to parts are available for cheaper.

Bick R on May 29, 2021

Fuel efficiency and comfort.

This 2020 Toyota corolla is the best out there in the dealerships. Toyota is great in fuel efficiency and comfortable in driving. This car gives on average 26 miles in city and 35 in highway on average 30 miles per gallon. This car is affordable to many people and am sure anyone would love to have it.

Sean F on May 27, 2021

Great new Toyota corolla hybrid le: reliability, efficiency and comfort.

It gets 55.6 mpg which is great given my commute. It has a smart set to know when to pull form electric, gas, or both. It can work on simply electric in parking garages. Pros: gas mileage, great interior and wonderful space for a smaller vehicle. Only negative so far is that the vehicle has apple play but not for the android and Bluetooth sound can stop from time to time on the hands free. No maintenance issues and the car runs wonderfully.

Areli D on May 26, 2021

Bucket sits, small, and beautiful trim,

I am very petite, I love the car cause it is small yet for people when I take them places it is not the best conform at all. My husband is tall and a bit overweight he does not using my car at all because it is very small. I love everything about the car, the only thing that I do not really like is that I have previous corollas and my current corolla whenever the temperature decrease the tire pressure mess up and I end up taking it to get check every time.

Annan A on May 23, 2021

A car that is so close to be perfect, but misses last spot.

The car is great, it feels really light and easy to control. It is very comfy especially on the back where most cars have issues with. The only problem I have is the Entune system, don't ever download it, its horrible and buggy. I hope Toyota adds android support to the car that would make it a 10/10.

Christian G on May 23, 2021

Toyota corolla 2020 reliable for every young adult and simple mechanics.

Love the signal indicators when I am getting too close to another lane. The emergency brakes are better than would have imagined. Comfortable and perfect for traveling to and from work. I enjoy the screen making it easy to use GPS without having to check my phone and can just speak to my car using siri.

van R on May 22, 2021

I get 700-600 miles a full tank! For $30~.

My corolla is the best car I have driven. I had the 2017 before this new model. My 2020 is a hybrid and in total can cost 25-30 dollars to refill it all the way! It is so efficient on gas. I get almost 700-600 miles a full tank! I have taken that car everywhere mammoth, Joshua Tree, hopefully up the west coast next!

The best decision I ever made!

Very reliable car. Awesome gas mileage fill up every two weeks and only takes twenty dollars! I love it. I wish back seat was a little bit bigger. Really awesome car for a college student or even a high school student. Amazing safety ratings which make feel like I made the perfect decision buying this car. I have absolutely no regrets. First car was a Toyota and I will continue to buy them for a very long time!

The mileage is great for a 2020 corolla.

The most I have ever spent on gas is about $35. It is a safe car and it is good for commuting. Gas usually lasts me about a week and a half. For the price, you are getting your money’s worth. The car is not cramped and for a sedan it has a lot of legroom. I have the 2020 model and the sound system is amazingly the car also has paddle shifters which is pretty cool for a corolla.

I would not switch to another car brand.

I like the Toyota corolla. It is very reliable car and has decent gas mileage. This is my second car and compared to the Kia I had it is way better. I have a white one and I was afraid scratches and dirt would show easily but it does not. Toyota is always a joy to work with as well. They are very kind and understanding as well as helpful!

Toyota corolla, reliable vehicle.

I really do love my car. Toyota’s are known for being reliable vehicles and I have never had a problem with them. As long as you keep up with the basic maintenance you should not have any issues for a very long time. I love the interior of mine as well, it is very spacious and is comfortable to use for my daily vehicle as well as road trips.

Angelic R on May 16, 2021

The most reliable and dependable car.

I love all the safety features it provides. It is very comfortable and the touch screen with all of its features are great! I love how smooth the drive is. There is not a way for me to swerve. The car aligns itself if you go out of the lines. The gas mileage is perfect.

Safety features and backside camera when reversing.

The Toyota corolla se 2020 is a really great car. The first reason this car is great is because it is new!New cars are great. The second reason is because it had safety features. One safety feature I love is the fact that the car alerts you when you are going over the line. Another feature I love is the backside camera that turns on when you are reversing. There is also another safety feature that allows the car to stop in cruise control if you are about to hit another car. The 2020 controlla is clean, and smooth. Driving this car feels very free and light while also safe with all the safety features.

Engine light problems! Good car though.

I love my car. The only thing I cannot stand is that almost everything is electric. My engine light is always on and it is a new car. Nothing is wrong with my engine it is just the engine light is sensitive. It is always going off & on. I took it but the shop and they couldn't help me.

Ronald S on May 15, 2021

Great overall ride-get it if you need versatility.

A 2020 Toyota corolla se is extremely reliable, very comfortable for both in city and longer road trips, and very fuel efficient. A 6-7 hr road trip can be covered on one tank of gas. Additionally, the cruise control and radars makes it a comfortable drive that alerts you to drops in speed limits. Coupled with google maps, and you'll avoid being the victim of a speed trap.

Amanda G on May 14, 2021

2020 corolla is safe.

The gas mileage is amazing in this car! I love the way it feels on the road as well. The road noise and engine noise is very minimal as well. It is most definitely a safe car as well with all the features like stop assistance and air bags everywhere! I also enjoy the cruise control as it has a lane assist and distance as well. Def a good option.

Agness A on May 9, 2021

An interesting detail is when you buy the car off the lot, it is worth it.

Very reliable car, tells you when you get out of your lane. Keeps you safe on the road also mostly when your car is having troubles it tells you more about where the problem is. Very specific and is a very a good car and worth all the money. I remember when I first got the car I didn't like it but as I kept driving it made me realized how good of a car it is.

Brianna E on May 7, 2021

My favorite detail about my car is the voice command feature for safety reasons.

My car is a lease and I absolutely love it! I have navigation feature, Bluetooth, and apple CarPlay. The screen in my car is also touch screen and it will read your messages if you ask it to! The car is a comfortable size great for a college student with amazing gas mileage. Couldn't ask for a better car!

Constance S on April 30, 2021

Toyota corolla le is a pleasure to drive and own.

The only thing I do not like about the car is the lack of a CD player. The new cars do not offer an option to have one. Also, there is an issue with blind spot on the car. I have no other issues or dislikes with the car. I have always enjoyed during corollas since my sister bought her first one.

Noreen B on April 30, 2021

2020 Toyota corolla. I am in love with my new car.

I really love my 2020 Toyota corolla. It's very good on gas. I would love it the radio display was not so big. And could go up and down to hide when not in use. Other than the display it's a nice size car. Nit for a big family but am in love with it. I am going for the highlander next.

Angela C on April 28, 2021

Toyota corolla. The best car I have ever owned.

I love my new Toyota corolla. It is very roomy inside and compact enough to fit in most parking spaces. It is has excellent gas mileage. This is the first Toyota I have ever owned and now I know I will always want to own a Toyota. It is the smartest purchase I have made.

Alaina L on April 25, 2021

Swerve control & automatic brake system, very reliable, good gas mileage.

No problems with the car. Very comfortable and efficient. Has swerve control and will brake for you if someone stops quickly in front of you while driving. There is also great gas mileage. I half to up my tank half the amount I used to. I would recommend Toyota to anyone who asked.

Brittney D on April 20, 2021

Toyota corolla totally worth it!

The car is very reliable and easy to maintain. The gas mileage is great and I would definitely recommend that anyone get this car because it is amazing. Are you looking for a car with good gas mileage and that drives extremely well? Because if you really are, then the Toyota corolla 2020 is the car for you.

Priscilla M on April 20, 2021

The Toyota corolla is a great compact car for a single or small family.

Absolutely love the car. The trunk is very spacious. The seats are comfortable. The car rides very smooth and the safety measures are great! The only downside is that the car itself is small which is good for a single person but may not be for a family.

Courtney S on April 18, 2021

Top tier Toyota corolla! You need it!

Top tier. I truly love my car. It drives very well and is very comfortable on cross country road trips. The trunk has ample space and adults can fit in the backseat comfortably. The car is easy to clean (inside and out) and seats are extremely durable. The safety features are great as well. Drives well in snow too! The speed and sport mode are fun for that sports car feel. I have the hold feature which is awesome- it allows you to break and stop without keeping your foot on the brake pedal. Also, you can never go wrong with the 2 year included Toyota care.

Ayleen M on April 17, 2021

Toyota corolla 2020: best car.

Emily D on April 16, 2021

The large screen on display inside.

I love my car!! It is so reliable, great on gas, and looks amazing. It has a large screen on display that is aesthetically pleasing and allows you to go through your music, send text through siri, and has GPS. The back up camera is amazing as well allows me to parallel park perfectly.

Regina J on April 14, 2021

Highlights are the accessories that with the car.

Very great car overall. Wanted something fairly small but not too small. Great for a family of 4-5. Really love Toyota also. Great aspects and accessories of the car also. Would not trade it any or look for anything else. A dream car, must have! Also would be a great Christmas gift.

destiny R on April 14, 2021

Button to keep you in the lines on the road.

The 2020 Toyota corolla is a great car in my opinion. It comes with a lot of different features, but one of my favorites is that you can push a button for it to basically drive itself. Another favorite part of it is the screen in it, it's such a good feature when it comes to needing directions and stuff like that.
