Kids are grown up now, just needed a reliable commuter car with good gas mileage for going to work. Got the S model with appearance and sport package and it looks nice for the price. I dont like the new popular cars with huge grills, fake vents everywhere, slanted, reverse curvy style of newer cars. mine has heated mirrors, sunroof, climate control, stitching, bigger rims & tires and nav are nice in an economy car. And I got an amazing deal since the 2014's were just out. It drives very average, is weak on power, and the interior fit and finish is old school, but for the value i couldnt find better. At the time, a similar Civic EX was almost $5k more. Now at 40k miles with zero issues, just oil changes and tire rotations. Even the tires still have a good 25k of tread left. I knew exactly what I was getting when I purchased it, and has fully lived up to my expectations. Would recommend, just dont expect much refinement in this model. Update: 50k miles now, tires still good but getting noisy. No problems or issues at all. Did front brakes myself at 45k miles and still had 1/4 pad left. Only complaints are still the lack of power and interior noise on certain surfaces, which I think has progressed due to tire wear. I keep her waxed and clean and she still looks new. Headlights need constant polishing/waxing to keep from getting cloudy. Gas mileage has dropped to 27 mpg average, maybe also due to tire wear but I seemed to noticed when I put Mobil One Syn oil instead of Toyota oil last change. Back to Toyota oil. Update: 66kmiles. Got some new tires and went with wider and stiffer sport tires. Not a good match as it drives really stiff on these low profile sport tires, but handles great. Due to fatter and stickier tires, gas mileage dropped to 25 mpg. Still looks good and no reliability issues at all.

I bought my car brand new in December 2013 for 21000. Never had any problem with this car before this I had a 328 xi which gave me a lot of problems. The car is small the back seats are not very comfortable but I love the driver seat. It is very comfortable. Navigation is excellent. MPG is excellent. For its class I will give it an A.

While I admire the styling cues of the Elantra, the built quality, reliability, smooth ride, and reliability of the Corolla takes the win here.

Lets be honest, the interior of the corolla may be antiquated and the engine power may not be as responsive as some other competitors. That being said, this is a nice vehicle to have in your garage. I admire the Hyundai Elantra's styling for both the interior and exterior. When i test drove the Elantra everything felt good, but i did not feel the sense of longevity. The civic is also a great choice but to package up to the standards of the Corolla S, I might as well buy a Camry SE. The Corolla S is the best choice here. Everyone speaks about the appearance as boring but My Corolla Grabs eyes on the highway, and it looks similar to the 06-11 Camry S which was #1 in sells for its model years.
Love my Toyota Corolla

I was having to replace my 2001 Mazda MPV and was looking for something that was comfortable and easy to get in and out of. Was interested in a small SUV or crossover; however, I saw this little beauty on the lot and it had less than 6,000 miles on it! Took it for a couple of rides. Love the acceleration and the driver's seat is comfortable for me, though maybe a little lower to the ground than I would like at my age. Banking on Toyota's reputation and Edmunds' review, I bought it and am very happy so far.
Great Little Car.
