2012 Toyota Corolla LE 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

I bought my 2012 Corolla LE brand new off the lot with 30 miles on it. I have owned it six months, and have put 5,000 miles on it, and have encountered zero problems. It has done what it was intended and built to do, and that's safely transport me from point A to point B. These Corolla's are designed to go for a long time, and present safety and superb reliability. And that's exactly what a Corolla does. They aren't comparable to their "sister car" the Camry in any way because they don't have any of the luxurious qualities a Camry does. I think that's why they are reasonably priced. As far as safety is concerned, a Toyota will always be one of the safest vehicles on the road.

I have owned by 2012 since 2020. I love my Toyota. Regular maintainence only required. Getting on the freeway I zip right in. Ice cold air. Paid Toyota to do the inspection. A couple of "Minor" items found. I found that my repair shop could not use after market front brake pads because they did not fit. The mechanic had two sets of after market pads tried and they did not fit. This is not a Toyota issue but you might save yourself some time and energy knowing this. Handles well. Comfortable seating. Large trunk. I have owed Toyotas all my life and have never had a major issue with repairs. Of course, I read the reviews on the Toyota I was considering. Rewiews tell it all!!!!

I was in the market for a new sedan as a second car to our family's minivan. I never liked the corolla before and had Jettas and Civics in the past. This time we decided to test drive every comparable model (Corolla, Jetta, Mazda 3, Sentra, Civic, Cruize, Accent and Rio). All very nice, similar prices, sizes and specs. The Corolla was the last one we tested, as soon as I got behind the wheel I felt at Home, yes maybe an outdated dashboard but after the ones from the Civic, Cruize, Mazda and Accent (they all reminded me of Video Game Consoles), this one just felt right. It is the most quite of them all on the road, simply said it is a Lexus and I am very happy. Power is excellent

2012 Toyota Corolla S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

I have had my corolla for a little over a week. I love it. the bluetooth feature is nice for connecting phones and ipods. the USB port is nice for charging the aforementioned electronics. The ride is fairly smooth. I'm coming from an SUV so its taking some getting used to. This is my first Toyota and I am hoping to have it for years to come. the dash is a bit dated compared to everything else that is out with that being said it isnt hard to use. It isnt over done with buttons. the interior on the sport is beautiful ( if you like black interior which i love)

I’ve only owned this car for a few weeks, but we’ve already piled some miles on it and so far we are extremely pleased. It looks and runs better than a seven-year-old car with 100,000 miles on it has any right to do. It is extremely smooth and comfortable, gets great gas mileage, and the controls and layout make it easy for anyone in our family to jump into the driver’s seat and feel immediately comfortable. In researching other used cars in the same price range, the 2012 Corolla really stood out as especially reliable. So far, I certainly agree. (As I would with any used car, I looked for one with a documented service history and I recommend others do the same.) It is probably not the best choice if you’re after driving excitement, but as a reliable everyday driver for commuting, errands and the like, it’s hard to beat.
