2013 Toyota Corolla LE 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

I had enough issues with my 2009 Corolla to trade in for a new 2013 Corolla. So far I really enjoy driving this vehicle and cannot wait for a road trip. Compared to the 2009 version the 2013 Corolla drives like a luxury vehicle. The pep seems to match the 2009 vehicle which is not spectacular but adequate and I love some of the standard items that added to help Toyota keep up with the American car makers.

While I admire the styling cues of the Elantra, the built quality, reliability, smooth ride, and reliability of the Corolla takes the win here.

2013 Toyota Corolla S Special Edition 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
5 of 6 people found this review helpful

Lets be honest, the interior of the corolla may be antiquated and the engine power may not be as responsive as some other competitors. That being said, this is a nice vehicle to have in your garage. I admire the Hyundai Elantra's styling for both the interior and exterior. When i test drove the Elantra everything felt good, but i did not feel the sense of longevity. The civic is also a great choice but to package up to the standards of the Corolla S, I might as well buy a Camry SE. The Corolla S is the best choice here. Everyone speaks about the appearance as boring but My Corolla Grabs eyes on the highway, and it looks similar to the 06-11 Camry S which was #1 in sells for its model years.

Great on gas, sporty being the S model Corolla and comfortable for the wife and myself. Wish we would of got the sunroof model but after putting 400 miles on the car were happy.

My Third Corolla - I Really Like It

2013 Toyota Corolla L 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

UPDATE Traded for a Honda Fit at 34K/ 3 years. Many issues with cheap, flimsy interior plastics that needed to be replaced. CD player died with only limited use - radio replaced. Trunk design terrible. Lots or room but hard to load. FIT has much better interior design and 33 city MPG. Not a bad car, but could be better. Traded my 08 Corolla CE for the 2013 L because of a great deal at my favorite dealer. Only thing I didn't like was the compulsory power windows and locks. Shame the pure base car is no more. Love the Continental OEM tires. First good ones on my 3 Corollas. The Integrity tires on my first two were dumped before 10K for Michelins.

Love my Toyota Corolla

I was having to replace my 2001 Mazda MPV and was looking for something that was comfortable and easy to get in and out of. Was interested in a small SUV or crossover; however, I saw this little beauty on the lot and it had less than 6,000 miles on it! Took it for a couple of rides. Love the acceleration and the driver's seat is comfortable for me, though maybe a little lower to the ground than I would like at my age. Banking on Toyota's reputation and Edmunds' review, I bought it and am very happy so far.
