3-year update: 43,000 miles on the clock now. Still on the original set of tires, and the car still smells brand-new on the inside. My sister only ever drives this car to work and back; she has legitimately never taken a different exit or gone anywhere else with this car. Given how the car is still practically brand-new, even after 3 years and 43,000 miles, I truly believe that this car can will go 500,000 miles. We had a 2008 Corolla that we drove 440,000 miles (yes, you read that right: four-hundred and forty-four thousand miles), before we sold it to a college student, who still drives it. Can't beat Toyota! I am reviewing my sister's 2017 Corolla iM, which has 35K miles on it right now. We are a Toyota family and have owned many Corollas over the years, and also one Subaru. Right off the bat - this car is premium. It comes standard with alloy rims, stitched and bolstered seats, rubber mats, lane departure warning, a manual option (the M+/-), rear center armrest, cruise control, climate control, and many other features. All for $17K! The car doesn't feel like a Corolla - it feels much more like a Camry, given its comfort level. It has a very planted and sporty drive - albeit harsh on bumps due to its sport tires. Compared to a Corolla sedan, this car is literally another car. It's Toyota's hidden gem - they put so much effort into this little car, and you can tell the second you take a seat in it. Some cons/comparisons of the car: Visibility pales compared to other cars in the segment, especially out the rear window. It doesn't have as much legroom as a Corolla sedan, or is as wide and roomy as a Subaru Impreza, but it's the leader when it comes to technology, quality, and value. We've owned 6 Corollas over the years, and this one is the most impressive by-far. I literally cannot emphasize how good it is... Would I recommend this car as a family car? Only if you have 2 young children. I would definitely recommend it for any single person who wants reliable, premium transportation from point A to point B.

Have had this car about a month now. I use almost every day. At first I thought the low power and cvt would bother me but car is sp smooth I hardly notice it anymore. Power in "sport" mode is actually adequate for everyday driving. Mpg are where they should be. Handling is where this car exceeds. I take off ramps and corners pretty fast and this car does not back down. It hugs the road pretty well. I don't regret buying this car especially with the deal I got on it.

The awesome smooth ride, safety features, and cargo space drew me to the car, and the great gas mileage keeps me in it. It is not a fast car, tho it is quick enough for me. The price/ value is great.

The gas mileage I have had in the first month is about 21 mpg both in town and on the freeway on the "Eco" setting. Don't expect fast acceleration, especially on any kind of hill. Don't pay anything near MRP. I got mine out the door in UT for 18,500.

First off, I've had a few Toyota's in my life. Most were boring, this model brings a different, fresher, younger peppy side. It was a Scion model prior, built on the TC platform so handling is great for it's size. Granted it's not a race car, yet with the "sport mode" on it has a nice pull. Steering is responsive, yet a bit numb for me. Braking is fantastic. MPG off the start pretty sad around 23? Since 5-6k on it now, much better unless you're always in "sport mode" you'll get 30ish combined. The highest w/cruise on a trip was 38. Those crappy so called "techy" things on this car are sad at best. More of a joke in my book, unless you REALLY need guidance, which is spotty, leave them on. I shut them off moments after leaving the dealership. Unlike most of the other Toy models, there is no radar to measure distance from an object so it's useless. Only good tech on here is the backup cam., and the headunit's ok, minus cd/nav/sat. it's HD is nice and you can stream or get nav. off your phone. Stylish, comfy, roomy, great price point/value. Against this part of the segment, I believe it's the best bang for the buck. Enjoy!
