Used 2013 Toyota Corolla Consumer Reviews
Should have bouth the Civic.
I was looking at the Civic LX and The Corolla LE. I ended up with the Corolla. The dealer I worked with gave me an ok deal on the car and my trade, but it was the 0% financing that sealed the deal. I will say that I am not impressed with this car at all. It was in the garage 2 different time before I had 500 miles on it. vvt-i gears, both of them. Now I'm going to be making another appointment because I'm getting a very hard shift from 1st to 2nd gear. I should have went with the Civic.
Great value - super reliability
Super car for the money with great features for the price... interior is surprisingly roomy and the features and options are nice. Great trunk space.

Nothing like they used to be.
Cheaply built, under panels are always loose, ignition coils replaced at 90k, radiator at 105k, fuel pump at 130k and now at 150 transmission is done…

Super reliable, nothing but routine maintenance
Our Corolla has just rolled over 29K miles (retiree driven) and is now 8 years old. It has never left us stranded and so far has required nothing more than routine maintenance. I do all of it at home and the car is very easy to work on for those who plan on doing the same. Power is merely adequate, don’t expect to win any races. The interior is plain but comfy with logical controls. The car handles okay and is pretty quiet inside whether you’re driving in the city or on the highway. Paint has held up very well with routine washing and waxing. A couple additions - tint, backup sensors, and a backup camera have made the car easy to live with. The backup camera displays on the factory touch screen which is great. The car has most modern safety features; ABS, side torso and side curtain airbags, along with stability/traction control. We’ll probably replace it when it comes time to get more safety features like automatic emergency braking and blind spot monitoring, but for the time being and for at least a few more years.. no regrets. If you can find a good deal on a used one that’s been maintained, check your ego at the door and enjoy not dealing with anything but routine maintenance. The LE is the most popular and has all the necessities, the S is the sportier version (same engine across the board though, so no extra power). In the time we’ve had this Corolla I bought a 2016 Camry, 2018 CX-5 AWD and a 2019 Corolla SE. When I drive the 2013 I never feel like I’m downgrading despite it being the cheapest car of the bunch. That says something!
