Used 2011 Toyota Corolla Consumer Reviews
It is what it is
One must understand that this is a no-frills vehicle which provides basic, reliable transportation. It is not a bad vehicle for those just looking for a vehicle to get from point A to point B. My main complaints are cabin noise, instrument quality (radio quit working at around 50,000 miles) front seat comfort on long trips and mediocre-at-best fuel mileage in the city. I've also noticed the auto transmission gets confused and repeatedly shifts when driving at around 40 mph. This is not a good long distance vehicle, but it does quite well for those who need a reliable vehicle to get around town and to work. Other than a 6 year old battery dying, the car has never failed to start. Yes, there are comparable vehicles with more power and options but I will take this car over most others for the reliability factor.

Best car for the money you pay
I already have a 2006 Corolla automatic which we bought new and me and my wife love it. I always like to drive manual and this time I had a chance to shop for a manual transmission car ( my wife does not drive manual). I drove most of the cars in this segment and finally narrow it down to Civic LX, Mazda 3 I Touring and Corolla S. When compared to other two ( Civic and Mazda 3) Corolla S is less in power, but far superior in other categories.

Durable, faithful and saving on gas!!!
This car is a blessing in my life, it doesn't bother me, after 12 years of use I had to change the alternator and the starter. It has 320,000 miles and I think it will reach a million. I have never changed the timing belt, water and oil pump. A marvel!! I love my Corolla ♥️

Nice little car, good gas mileage.
Not great in deep snow and ice but good traction in light snow fall. Great gas mileage and comfortable.

Tall people beware
Like many other reviewers I spent quite a bit of time test driving the many competitors on the market today. I started my search by reading through the Consumers Digest car review edition that came out in February. Based on these results I concentrated on the Hyundai Elantra, the Ford Focus 2012 edition, and the Mazda 3 Touring. I ended up choosing the Toyota Corolla because it had all the features I was looking for at the right price. The interior was larger than the others with more space for backseat passengers and the actual fuel economy held up when compared to both the Elantra and Focus despite their 40 mpg claims. The ride is smooth and quiet, I just wish it had more power.
