Used 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid Consumer Reviews
Unbelievable car!
UPDATE at 23,000 miles. This car is still amazing. Pros: 1)Fuel Econ is over 55 without trying. My tank high is 68mpg. 2) car is very comfortable for the driver not so much for passengers. 3) reliable -it’s never faltered in any way. 4) the perfect commuter or service car for one person. BTW, I’ve camped in the car several times by taking out back seats and installing a bed platform I made. Once, my wife camped with me. Climate control is fantastic for this!!!!!! CONS: 1)Paint is thin and scratches easily! 2) passenger seat positioning is horrendous. THAT’S IT! Great car!!!would purchase again in a heartbeat. I’ve put over 1,000 miles on this car in a little over a week since I purchased it. It’s my second hybrid. First was a 2008 Prius. There is no comparison between the two cars. I’m 6’3” and 250lbs. This car is tremendously comfortable for me. I drove an Insight and felt like I had to nearly lay down to get in it. Once inside it, my right knee started hurting from being pressed against the console. Enough about the subpar Honda. The Corolla is superior. I’m avg. 64 mpg with 70% driving on two lane roads, 20% at 68mpg on parkway and 10% in the city. Great ride and unbelievably quiet!! So far, it’s been fantastic. My only complaint is that the passenger seat can’t be raised so my passengers tend to “fall” into the seat, especially the first time they ride in the car. Great job, Toyota! The Prius could be on life support.

We are loving it1!
Reading some of the reviews here has me puzzled. It appears that Toyota must have been listening to the complaints because my car has a spare and a full set of tools for changing a tire. We have blind spot monitoring lights in the rear view mirrors. We are getting excellent mileage in mostly city driving. ( We bought it just before Covid so we have not gone anywhere out of the city.) On some highway style driving we were surprised to find it operating on electric alone a lot of the time. We have the leather interior. I am in Canada so maybe we have a different set of features than they offer in the States? We are having fun with the Bluetooth music as our grandsons love to listen to music while we drive.

Human-car interface needs work
After about 2 1/2 years, I think this car is ok, but I really would like to get rid of it. It handles ok and has been reliable, but interior design is really a fail for me. The driver seat is still uncomfortable, and I still struggle to find a good driving position for longer drives. I drive with the headrest backward because I guess Toyota can’t make an adjustable headrest. The fixed, forward tilting headrest puts my torso in a strange position that is tiring after about 10 minutes. The bucket seat bottom cushion is my main gripe— I have to sit crooked in the seat to be comfortable. It’s funny— I had no complaints about the driver’s seat in my 2008 Corolla— Toyota’s front seats are getting worse every year it seems (I’ve sat in all of them at the dealerships). The infotainment system is truly technology from 15+ years ago, and the touch screen is a foolish idea that is annoying to use and often has a long delay after making a selection…I have an iphone and I am completely comfortable with touch screen technology, but this kind of technology is not a good idea for a car console — especially when this poorly designed. As far as the mpg goes, my average has dropped a bit to about 45 mpg (I’m at ~90,000 miles now).
