Fun to drive, plenty of room, gets decent gas mileage when driven friendly. | stamped concrete nz

Ridiculously wide turning ratio, often I have to double back and try a second time to get into tight parking spots.

Quality issues

As a former Toyota product advisor I have driven many Corollas and always thought of them as a great car. After leaving Toyota I bought my new Corolla expecting the same quality as I had seen in the past, but was I ever disappointed.
My problems started off first thing with the car wearing front tires, a very large rattle from the dome light and wind noise. The car was out of alignment (4000km had the tires worn bad) the dome light had fell apart inside and the doors were out of adjustment( I actually noticed this problem on alot of the new Corollas I drove). Then came a mailbox full of recall notices, we won't even talk about that. Then the heater blower making noises like the motor was going from time to time, when cold out side the radio made all sorts of rattles from the speakers, the rear spoiler came off (2 sided tape held it on),I took it in for an oil change and they noticed the water pump was leaking,the transmission starting shifting funny for a while and finally it wouldn't start one morning for no apparent reason (look on Toyota Nation for this problem) This is just what I can remember, good thing for warranty. The no start issue was the final straw after my local dealership couldn't find any problem and doing research I found it was a recurring problem in some Corollas, it was time to get rid of it.
I just don't see the quality in the latest version of the Corolla as the last generation. I took in many lease returns in with well over 100k on them that never had any problems and still were just as quiet to drive as a new one, wish I could say that for mine.

I love this car. It handles easily and gets great gas mileage.Very quiet and smooth ride. Great sound system.

None

Great car. I have no complaints with the car itself. Dealer customer service could be better.

Great car. Never any problems, so I guess it was before the current load of Toyota QA headaches and nightmares.

Not much power. But that's moot for an econobox.

A great car with solid quality. Only gripe after 10 years of use is the driver side window motor stopped working properly about 3 years ago. I can't believe buying a new motor for a window and getting it replaced is a $500 procedure! Robbery! (which is why it's still not fixed)

good on gas. rydes great on city streets.nice interior and truck space.

hard to drive on highway . electronic steering makes car wonder all over the road , need to be carefull , keep both hands on wheel. road noise is bad on highway too

all and all corrolla is a nice car. but lately with all the safety recalls and bad press makes me wonder if i would buy another one..sounds like the toyota brands has quality issues

It is a Canadian build Car, absolutely
rattle free.Fit and finish is impeccable.
Very well equipped. It runs on "Fumes"
I do use 92 octane gas. Dual glove box is unique, lots of storage space and good sound system. Very good Dealer Service.
Road noise inside the car is non existing.
Only under fast acceleration can you hear a bit of a rumble.
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with the car during my 4 months of ownership.
The Airco worked better than expected during the "Heat Wave" we had in Vancouver. I can not come up with anything bad about this car, I think it is
the best bang for the buck. I am over 6 feet, 110 Kilo and have more than enough room. This has been the last car I bought before retirement, it has to last for a long time and I know it wil.
Thank you for reading,I hope it is helpfull.

The Firestone tires the car came with and
the rather numb electric power steering,however, I did get used to it within the first week.

Will recommand this car in a blink of an eye .
Never will you get so much for so little and be like me,so Happy

Never used any car similar to a Corolla,
I did drive for over 30 years Skodas,have
still a Citroen DS and a Chrysler 5TH Avenue.
This is my first Japanese Canadian build car.

EXTREMELY RELIABLE! Great gas mileage. Good acceleration for a 4 cylinder car with a 1.8L engine. Good trunk space.

It's a small car, so if you are tall, you probably will not have enough headroom.
Toyotas are great cars, so they are a bit more pricey than a comparable "domestic" car.

We bought this car brand new. My wife has been driving this car year around during summer as well as in our snowy Canadian winter, for the last 7 and a half years and not one single problem. We have only spent money so far on routine maintenance and normal "wear and tear" items such as fluid changes, tires and brakes. The car has 141,000 kilometres (that is 87,000 miles) on the odometer. The body is starting to rust, but then again, it has been driven through seven winters.
This particular "Japanese" car was actually assembled in Canada. Inside the engine compartment, I saw Japanese, US and Mexican made parts.

Chevrolet Cavalier (bought it new, lots of problems, sold it after six years), Pontiac Transport (bought it new, had recurrent problems with the engine, but the body never rusted since it was made of fiberglass, so I drove it for 13 years and then sold it), Pontiac Vibe (this is the car I have been driving for the last 5 years, and I am very happy with it)
