Used 2018 Toyota Corolla iM 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl CVT) Consumer Reviews
iM Hatch AKA Scion iM
I bought my Scion iM the week Toyota said it was killing off the Scion brand.I have owned my iM about a year and half now I am now up to 8,700 miles and I still love it !! Local driving I am getting26- 28 mpg on highway trips I have hit 43.4 mpg .I love all the standard features and I have added front L.E.D fog lights they are offered in the aftermarket world not through dealers.I have also installed a cold air intake setup so it helps make it takeoff a lot better.This winter I bought four Bridgestone Blizzaks snow tires and separate winter rims for better traction in the snow ,the stock tires give you the mpg but not so great in winter conditions .Curt enterprises makes a hitch that bolts into the rear frame so installing a bicycle rack is a breeze.
What a Car
I had previously had a 2001 Corolla, yep 17yrs! What a great Car, nothing really wrong with it but just wanted an upgrade so I asked to look at Corollas and was shown the Sedan, which I knew I didn't want or care for since I Just had one like it, I was looking for something different. Next was the im, so I did the test drive and came back and asked about leasing options and after 4 hours I had myself an im! I absolutely don't like the car but LOVE IT!!!

Hatchback I am glad your here! ;)
I can honestly say great and wonderful things about my Corolla Hatchback! I owned a 2001 Toyota Corolla before this, yes drove it 17years, and hope to get that out or more years out of this great little car! I am only 5'2 female and I come from having some simple cars so I am Just happy with what is on this car, cause obviously the more stuff, the more to break. I've Just had this car two months and STILL look forward to driving it or will find reasons to go drive it ;) The Fuel economy is amazing as heck on this car!!!! I am blown away! So If your looking for a daily commuter car, with comfort, style and reliability..............THIS IS THE CAR!!!!

Super solid car.
Car is great. Although the engine may be just a little weaker than its quasi-hot hatch looks, I find that it is more than adequate for getting out of its own way and maintaining highway speeds for long road trips or getting up hills and actually feels a bit peppier than the Corolla Sedan, even with the CVT, even clocking at just over a second faster than the 2018 Corolla XSE sedan on the 0-60 (9.8sec vs 8.7 for the iM, or 12 seconds on the non XSE Sedans). Sporting an upgraded suspension package from the sedan as well, it handle's surprisingly well for an econobox, with way less body roll and understeer than its shape might suggest. In addition, the car is very practical, with decent legroom for adults in the back, and really easy to fold down rear seats that make a really solidly sized cargo area for a compact car. Being a Corolla underneath of course makes for an endless array of aftermarket parts and modifications if you want just just a couple more horses, and incredibly reliable and easy to maintain + for those that are scared of the CVT (which is perfectly fine and reliable as long as you change the fluid level every 60k), it comes with a 6-speed manual option. Although maybe not as quick or entertaining to drive as a mazda3 or a Civic hatchback, it is significantly cheaper than either of them, and also likely to have just a slight advantage on the reliability side. For containing as many features and little tinges of luxury that it does (owing to its single-trim marketing inherited from the Scion iM), the car is a tremendous value and a very solid and stylish daily driver.
