Easy to maintain and parts are very cheap because millions have been sold.

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.

Super reliable, nothing but routine maintenance

2013 Toyota Corolla LE 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful

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!

Corolla LE plus Power Windows don't work in cold weather

I have had the 2014 Corolla LE plus for less than two weeks. During that time, anytime the temperature drops below 20 degrees F, the front windows won't come down (open) I took it in for service, but everyone in the dealership I spoke with swore up and down that the same happens in cold weather to their front windows, too. I lodged a complaint with Toyota corporate, but they say they can't do anything about it now.
