The car I need - Not want

2011 Toyota Corolla S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

Having driven a 2000 Solara for 11 years, I got this 2011 Corolla S in October 2011. I went cheap and got what I paid for. While the S is the best looking Corolla for '11 it lives up completely to the reviews of underpowered, uninspiring, unimpressive road experience. It might be solid and reliable, but I yawn all the way to work and back.

Worst Corolla ever. What was Toyota thinking.

Test drove 2011 corolla (manual); this would have been my 5th corolla in 20yrs. As a die hard Toyota fan, Toyota has disappointed me beyond belief regarding the steering. It is a major issue; it feels like flexible rubber; it does NOT tighten as expected in any power assisted steering and dangerous at high speeds. It will be more serious with highway winds. There is pronounced body roll. In short, it is NOT safe. I walked away from a great deal because 2007/8 model was superior in safety and handling. I will send back a feedback letter to the president of toyota; they have lost a loyal Corolla customer – 5 corollas in 20 years of drive. Sales person thought i was joking about the car.

I’ve owned this car for three years, has been one of the best cars right of the bat I noticed this is e very fast car it pulls when you touch the accelerator suspension still feels awesome with 110,000 miles with the original fabric suspension. The fuel economy on this car i very good I can go 1 week without filling up the tank, get about 24 mpg in the city. This car is actually very good handling in rain or snow, it’s a very good car in snow, and even better with snow tires. I really recommend this car is very safe and reliable. Only changed brakes and oil in three years.

Solid little commuter car

I purchased my 2011 Corolla in 2014 at 32800 miles for $15000. It has reliably taken me to work about 50 miles each way for many years. Now I am retired and dont drive as much. But it is still going strong at 160000 miles. Have done standard maintenance, oil, brakes, tires, alignments, etc. So far nothing major. Gave it to my son and am now looking to replace it with another 2011 but it will probably cost me $8000 and have about 150000 miles. argh!!

Good solid reliable sedan. Interior is basic but comfortable. Huge trunk. Expect it to be very reliable, and that my daughter will drive this car for a d case at least.
