I have owned this car for the last two months. I love the looks -- it looks more sporty than it actually is. I love the car except for one issue...... Full disclosure: This winter has been colder than heck and I have short commutes to work. About a month ago, with only 600+ miles on the car, I had to get it towed back to the dealership. On my way home at lunch, the "low oil pressure" light came on. The vehicle reduced power and I limped home the rest of the way. I called the dealership and had it towed. The dealership diagnosed it as condensation in the oil. The oil was frothy white. They changed the oil twice and gave the car back to me. This last weekend with about 1000 miles on the car now, I checked the dipstick again. Guess what? Frothy white. I changed the oil again -- the old oil looked like a chocolate milkshake. What the heck? The dealer says that I should take longer trips to burn off the condensation. I am beginning to wonder if something else is going on here -- a gasket issue??? Whatever.....I am beginning to question Toyota dependability. And isn't the Corolla known as a commuter car? If it doesn't do commuting well then why buy it? Mine's a manual, but I also see that the CVT has been recalled. Toyota.....what gives? 03/2020 update. Ok, I have now owned my 2019 Corolla XSE Hatch 6MT for over a year. I love it. Tight vehicle. Absolutely no rattles. Fit and finish is awesome. Ergonomics very good.....I am 5'7". Peppy, with the 6MT. Responsive steering. Very good in snow. Other observations include: The throws of the 6MT take some getting used to, but after a year+ of ownership, it's familiar and comfortable. I get the complaints about space, compared to peer vehicles. The back hatch area is very small and the back seat is cramped. I am good with that -- it's my commuter vehicle and I don't plan group trips with this car. The mileage is good. I do a lot of short commutes. Not spectacular, but respectable. Still getting used to the 0W16 oil. I do the oil changes myself. Boy, that oil is thin. In our frigid winters with short commutes, I still feel that there is a condensation - oil contamination issue with this engine. When I change the oil in the winter, the oil looks like chocolate milk. I am cautious and change the oil more frequently than recommended. Perhaps it is just a matter of getting used to the characteristics of this vastly thinner 0W16 oil. Overall, everything that I expected. I own my vehicles for a very long time, so I am looking forward to experiencing that Toyota reliability and longevity.

Hi all, I leased this car in Dec 2018. It had 4 miles on it. Exactly 2 weeks after driving off the lot, I lost power on a city street and highway. I come to find out that 3 days after purchasing the vehicle there was a recall on it. The dealership kept my car for almost 2 weeks to replace my transmission. After the new transmission, I have not experienced any more loss of power. Instead, a series of other issues. My car vibrates when it's on idle. The brake assist feature engages on its own and actually brakes the car for me when there is no reason to brake! This is extremely dangerous. Since then, I have taken my car to the dealership 5 times. I haven't even done my first oil change. I don't want the car anymore :( other than that, this car is fast and beautiful.

Can't say enough positives about my 2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback! I travel on 10,000 plus road elevations with no difficulty whatsoever. More than enough horsepower present to accomplish this task. MPG is close to 38. Highway driving is a breeze with sufficient horsepower to pass vehicles safely. Cargo space is sufficient for the size of the car. This is a winner of a car and relatively inexpensive for what you get. Highly recommend the 2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback SE.

Had it 3 years now and still love this ride. I’ll probably switch to the hot hatch when it finally gets here. Toyota news says 2023 for that. I’m ready! —————- I’ve had mine 9 months and just love it. It’s fun to drive, sporty, comfy and handles great. When I need to haul something, I drop the back seats and there’s lots of room. I can even put a surfboard or surf kayak inside with the passenger seat down. It takes me and my toys where I need to go. Really enjoying this car.
