Great car but needs some improvements

It has been more than a month and I am happy with my Toyota Corolla S car. It has nice interior and built in touch screen display for bluetooth smart phone connection, radio/CD buttons. S trim doesn't have variable wipers. All your smartphone contacts are visible and that's a great feature on display. The interior is also nice and spacious compared to Sentra in the same class. S trim doesn't have intermittent variable wipers compared to LE. It's 0.7 inch shorter than LE. Makes lot of noise and vibration when it changes gears to high but then it's pretty smooth. When climbing uphill, it sometimes smells gas. It has good pick up (torque) but not like previous corollas.

I actually just bought a Corolla S a hours ago and I already regret my purchase, I should have gone with the CIVIC or the Sentra, better Gas, more power, more leg room and much better Dash Board Look., I did like the sporty look of the S model, but after a few hours I should have just gone with the Civic, 30 more dollars a month would have been definitely worth it.

Should have stuck with Civic

I had a 2008 Civic sedan and was getting itchy for a new car. I looked at the 2013 Civics first and almost bought one, but had trouble with the dealership. So Toyota had 0% financing and I went to look at Corollas. I loved the new red SE--cute and more stylish than the 2013 Civic. I test drove it and it was smaller than the Civic and rode OK, but the controls seemed a little "cheap" and there was not much in-dash storage for things like CDs. I ended up buying the car because I made a great deal on it. Well, 2 weeks later--I miss my Civic like CRAZY! I really feel like I took step down in quality and space. The car is super-tiny inside (and I am only 5 feet tall).

Comfortable & Reliable Great Vehicle

I purchased this 2013 Toyota Corolla because of it’s sporty look and it’s eye-catching style. This vehicle has a soundless comfortable ride and lives up to its reliability performance. This car has 147,000 miles. In 2015, I was hit from behind bumper damage; so, Toyota replaced it with new bumper. Last year 2020, I had to replace the alternator and battery. Otherwise, it rides smooth like great. No other maintenance required except synthetic oil changes every 10,000 miles. Toyota’s hold their value and safety reputation.
