Although the Corolla's not going to win any awards for high-tech, it certainly does win the reliability, stylish and safety awards. Safety comes first.

I don't get the complaints about the back rest lever. It's much quicker to adjust this way than with a dial. Love it.

@dodge2451 2 года назад

Picked up on this too, the lever is way better than scrapping your knuckles against the side of the car to turn a dial, and I wish more cars used a lever instead of a dial.

Lever >>> Dials. Dials are just simpler (and therefore cheaper) to install. Levers are far quicker to adjust, especially while you're driving.

Britain, where fuel is sold by the litre, but fuel economy figures are given in miles per British gallon, a unit of volume that is only ever used in the context of fuel economy ratings and which is 20% larger than the American gallon. How many British gallons did you just buy at the pump? That's easy! Just divide the number of litres you bought by 4.54609. Once you get good at dividing and multplying numbers by that figure, developing an intuitive feel for you car's real world mpg fuel economy is easy.

@melcanuck5951 5 лет назад

Anything from Honda matches / betters Toyota... New Jazz hybrid coming next year. Jazz beat the Yaris for reliability. Assuming both companies can get their pricing strategies correct.

@huythai1222 5 лет назад

MelCanuck idk about the EU, but in the US the Corolla is far more reliable than the Honda Fit, which is one of its key competitor.

@melcanuck5951 5 лет назад

Don't know... the US market is a cheaper priced car market than Europe and thus most motor manufacturers build them down to a price, which means they use cheaper seats, cheaper quality plastics and are quite horrid by comparison to their Euro products. (Having lived 7 years in the USA) The US gets the mid level Corolla sedan hybrid which is not as plush as the Excel model seen here which would cost - including metallic paint (yes, europeans have to pay extra for metallic paint) and sunroof about USD $40,300 whereas the US Corolla Hybird sedan costs only $23K USD. Likewise the Euro Jazz is a much nicer car and was voted by WhatCar as one of the most reliable cars on the market. At the time toyota sold an Auris (not a Corolla in Europe, which was rubbish)

@huythai1222 5 лет назад

MelCanuck the Auris served many second world countries in the east, therefore cost cutting measures to bring the price down is very likely. Although I wonder why they brought it to Europe knowing full and well they aren’t up to spec in Europe. The corolla although a nice vehicle now, aren’t as popular in the US as the RAV4 therefore they aren’t focused on it as much anymore. But one key thing I’ve noticed is that all Toyotas in Europe aren’t built as good as Toyotas in the US, spec wise and quality wise. Although this could be due to import regulations etc.

@MrRainbowUnicorn95 5 лет назад

@lockergr 5 лет назад

Great review! I was looking into this one as an alternative to the Camry Hybrid which has the highest safety rating around if you get the optional headlight package. Unfortunately this one doesn't have a perfect safety rating. That's all I'm willing to go with after seeing a loved one die in a car accident. I've had Corollas though in the past and my family had Corollas and they are excellent cars. If they could just get the safety ratings to all perfect five stars instead of one being a four I would buy it. If anyone cares the Prius also doesn't have a perfect safety rating either. Only the Camry, with the hybrid with the headlight package being the safest of them all.

@AJ-xm4xc 5 лет назад

If you really want safety you should go with a Subaru.

I can’t agree about the comparison with the ford focus as a ”drivers car ” I owned a focus and went straight to a 2.0 L Corolla. The corolla is way, way better in almost every thing. The only downside to the ”rolla” is the boot space and backseat space.

Absolutely reliable but tight space on the back seats and small boot that's an only negative part hopefully new cross fixed this issue

you can always buy the estate version of the Corolla, more space in general.

@@Dorfus2323 I live in Australia there is not much estate version just hatch and sedan in Toyota Australia

I feel like the Honda Insight really outvalues this car in so many areas while not really having a downside

I find that the seat is still low in the highest setting, I cannot see the front of the bonnet which makes it harder to manoeuvre, and I am not a small person

If you want great fuel economy without paying extortion amount of money then buy Hyundai ionic. I’ve been using ionic for 4 months now and I’m getting 68 to 70 Mpg easily.

No one ever.compares servicing costs. When your buying a car thus is important unless you have bucket loads of foldin stuff. Toyotas are cheaper to service compared to others in the same class
