This is a very nice, reliable, comfortable, and inexpensive car. It is quiet on the highway, and comfortable. Bullet-proof reliability. Cheap to maintain, and great on gas. Many people say the 4 speed automatic is old and outdated, but take another look. That's right, the Corolla is just about THE most fuel efficient in it's class, according to Consumer Reports. So, yes, a 5 speed auto would be bettter, but the 4 speed auto still beats just about all the other cars in this class, and it is very quiet. The engine & transmission are proven - ultra-reliable for an automatic.
Never thought I'd like a Corolla....

Found this vehicle used on Carfax June 2017 as a 1 owner no accident. Had 51K miles & bought from dealer. Thought would be too small til I saw this one! Car was in excellent conditon & for 1.8 liter has plenty of zoom zoom. Handling is great. This particular 2010 model was mf'd in Canada, & is a few inches longer on both ends than other years I've seen. Roomy cabin & quiet insulated ride feels just like new car. Paint looks amazing for its age. Fun to drive, no complaints so far! Glad I am getting such good mileage too. Update: January 2018. Still have no complaints. Plan on keeping this car a long time! ❤ Update January 2019. This car has been serving me well. Reliable, comfortable ride. Hope to hang on to it for many years. Update August 2020. Only thing replaced since purchase is the original battery in March 2020. Car still runs great. Enjoy the cruise control whenever have opportunity. Currently at about 61,000 miles. My son wants me to sell this car to him cuz he likes driving it so much. But I'm not ready to buy another car while still so happy with this one! August 2021: Edmunds keeps asking me to do these annual reviews, & this one sounds just like all the above ones...car runs great & I'm planning to hang on to it for as long as possible! August 2022 they asked for another review, so I still have been getting great service & the only thing I've spent money on this year was a new set of tires, since I still had the ones the car came with & was time to replace. Hope to keep this car for many more years to come!

I traded in my 2001 Nissan Xterra for a 2010 Toyota Corolla for $13.2 with 39k miles two weeks ago. I wasn't too excited about it at first as I love trucks, but going from filling up every four days to once a week, I cant beat that! I am averaging about 32 mpg with 90% freeway driving. The digital dash options to view avg mpg, temp, time, and current mpg is nice. A/C blows excellent which is a must in this Arizona heat. Radio sound is nice. Motor runs strong for this little four banger. Interior looks and feels cheap, but I can sacrifice that for a more dependable engine any day of the week! We will be taking it for our first road trip this Memorial Day, should be fun and nice drive.

Got tired of $75 fill ups and bad mpg's from my pick up so I traded it in on my 2010 Corolla. Love the $30 fill up and 35 mpg. The car is very easy to live with and very simple to use. I reliezed this the second day I had it when I jumped in, cranked it up and was flipping through the radio all without even thinking about what I was doing. Normally it takes a few days to get use to a new car but not this one. Its comfortable, quiet and very realiable. Its no sports car or powerhouse but then again, if thats what I wanted then I would have bought one.
Simply an All-Around Great Small Car

There is no secret what the Corolla is and always has been about: reliability and value. I purchased my 2010 Corolla new and have put 60,000 miles on it. Only non-maintenance issues so far have been a faulty gas cap (on warranty) and a plastic manifold guard that needed re-fastening ($1.75 for zip ties). The original brakes are still going strong, the tires will need replacing soon, but have lasted for 60k. The car is smooth-running, never rough idles and has produced fantastic gas mileage: 36-38 highway & 26-28 city. The interior, as with most Toyotas, is quite bland but functional. The materials are not cheap feeling as in other cheaper economical cars. The only cons about the Corolla are the acceleration, the road noise, and the paint. The car will cruise easily at 80 or 85 mph, but it takes a LONG time to get there. Acceleration is about what you would expect from a naturally-aspirated 1.8L 4-cylinder. As with most cars at this price-point, road noise is very noticeable above 60 mph, but livable. The road noise comes entirely from the poor isolation and not from the tires. The only issue I did not expect when purchasing this car is the quality of the paint. It chips quite easily and the clear coat has begun to erode on the trunk. Granted my Corolla has never experienced a garage, so your experience may vary. Overall this is a fantastic car that has lived up to and exceeded my high expectations. I definitely recommend purchasing one if you need a reliable, safe form of basic transportation.
