I’ve got good news and bad news…

Bad news (first): There is absolutely nothing sexy about this vehicle, including you when you’re behind the wheel. Good news is, achieving bad-boy (or girl) status while driving it wasn’t what Toyota was attempting to engender. Good news: This vehicle does EVERYTHING else right, or better than right (if that’s a thing). Want to give a $h!t less what gas prices do or use your hard earned money to take a vacation, buy the first round with your buddies, or enjoy a killer meal? Then great, because you can do all three and never ever have to worry about whether you made the right decision when selecting a Corolla hybrid. The vehicle is quiet, drives smooth, is built using bullet-proof Toyota quality and will just go, and it’ll cost you less to insure, maintain, and enjoy than just about anything else on the road. Buy it, have confidence doing so, and then pay yourself on the back everyday because you’ll have made a decision that doesn’t get much smarter. Controls are easy to use, it’s easy to see out of, and satisfying to drive (especially when you Rolla’ up to the gas pump only to squeeze $20-$25 bucks in it only to go nearly 600 miles. Cars aren’t time machines, they don’t make you more attractive (though they can prove out a lack of priorities), and they’re intended to get you from point A to B. The 2020 Toyota Corolla hybrid is money in the bank. Snap one up and don’t look back.

At first I was in love with the 2020 Corolla Hybrid but then about a month to a month and a half into my ownership there was a safety recall issued for the braking system. As such, Toyota offered me a rental vehicle until the remedy could be found and the problem fixed. That was around a month and a half ago. I drive a lot (between 3-5k miles a month). Their next best MPG option for rentals was the 2020 Corolla SE. While the MPG is good compared to the average for non hybrids, it doesn't compare to the car I'm still technically paying for, while not being able to drive. So, while I don't pay for the rental directly, I'm still paying for the extra gas I'm having to buy. The SE is also far more uncomfortable and I find myself in pain during and after every long drive I have to make. I used to swear by Toyotas and talk them up to every person who asked about my vehicle and my driving. Now, with as much as I do, and with how long Toyota is taking to fix this situation I am stuck in, I am looking forward to the day I can abandon this brand.

This Corolla hybrid is the ugliest looks compare to others like Insight, Ionic, Bolt, Prius. Another one is lack of technology that avoid accidental. One the minus is hybrid model, tire and outside looks seems cheap car and made from plastic. Another one low on power. Power down 20hp after 3 years life.
