Honestly I do love my 2017 Toyota Corolla iM in the pretty blue, but the transmission is very concerning. The CVT transmission causes slight shuddering when idling at lights, this is most likely due to never getting the fluids checked after 80k miles, but now that its high milage it would do more harm than good to have fluids replaced. If you get any car with a CVT, be sure to have the fluids periodically checked so that it can be replaced when needed before its too far gone. Mine is now at almost 140k miles and still going strong. It has had very little issues, mainly needed spark plugs replaced. The sport mode is great to use when needing to accelerate quick but I wouldn't recommend racing it unless you modify it first. All in all its a great car if you live in the city and have no kids. Once you have a child it gets cramped fairly quickly but still a little room. Very uncomfortable for anyone large though, I however am a small young woman so it suits me for now. As much as I love my car, it's not the best for a mom to own because getting just one child in and out of the car can be a pain with the low roof. If you're young, kid free, not super tall and live in a city then this is the PERFECT car for you with the right maintenance!!

It's almost as fun as my Yaris.

Yes, when accelerating without sport mode it's a tad more noisy. However, it's still responding reliably without the button being on. It's not quite as perky as some other vehicles but it's not slow as molasses. Overall this car has been a great addition to our Toyota family. No regrets.
