Better than Honda Civic

2014 Toyota Corolla LE Eco 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
10 of 15 people found this review helpful
I purchased this car for my wife in Evergreen exterior with amber seats. It looks weird in pictures but really good in person. The current Honda civics are ugly and the interior materials are subpar. Toyota really hit a home run with this car. Exterior is sleek and handsome, while the interior is well thought out and handsome. There are still actual knobs for volume and AC. AC blows cold. Power is really good, especially for climbing hills. The CVT is really good and smooth, I don't hear any whine at all. I find the LE ECO is the best value, since it already has a backup camera and hiighest MPG. Don't need any fancy wheels to reduce my MPG. Car is relatively quiet.

As mentioned by someone else, this car generally get so-so reviews because it doesn't comply with auto-journalist enthusiasts vision of a great car : no turbo, no DI, no IRS, no 4 disc brakes... They miss the point. This "old technology" package accomplish equivalent or more than some of the fancier competition : comfortable and composed ride and decent power with a hard to beat fuel economy (I'm at 39 mpg average 50/50) over 80,000 miles, despite the break-in period and harsh winter. Lots of plastic Inside but well put together with a somewhat elegant design. Real DEL headlights (not decorative) are great. Steering wheel /voice, Bluetooth, USB, back-up camera. Any equivalent for 20K C$ ? UPDATE 6½ years : Still running great. The most trouble-free no fuss owning experience I've had with a car (this is my first Toyota). Only oil changes /brake cleaning, but 2 service campaigns: firmware update for the Valvematic system and the CVT and a recall for some connector to the electronic module control for airbags (rather a supplier fault, affecting many brands).Maintenance cost is the lowest.MPG is even getting better over time.

2014 Toyota Corolla S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl CVT)

The navigation system stopped working. It's a manufacturer's defect, but they will not fix or repair it. They want $1,500 to replace their bad design. I loved Toyota's, but that is not acceptable. My next car will not be a Toyota.

Corolla 6-speed

2014 Toyota Corolla L 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
This is an addition to my previous review. If you're looking for a sports car the 6-speed might not fit. Passing with the 6 speed can be a bit challenging, although its still capable. At 55 mph in 6th gear drop it into 4th and punch it to moderately pass on the open road. Do not challenge on coming traffic, give yourself room. When shifting from 5th into 6th ride the shifter to the far right as to not accidentally drop it back into 4th. A sloppy shift may end up going from 5th back to 4th. Also mind going from 4th to 5th as to not accidentally drop into 3rd. This advice applies to folks whom are new to driving manual transmissions, seasoned folks will not find this problem.
My 06' was better on gas!!!!

2014 Toyota Corolla S Plus 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
Nice car! Love the redesign (Inside & out)! Not as peppy as my 2006 S. Planned on driving my 06 for 5 more years as was so dependable, but totaled it so needed a new car. I chose the S Plus due to the disc brakes all the way around. Purchased with the convenience package. Love the XM and blue tooth which I didn't have before. With that said, I am so DISAPPOINTED with the gas mileage. My 06 got 33 MPG consistently. This car barely gets 29 MPG. They advertise as 35 MPG which is NOT true. But it's still a nice car. As far as reliability, that remains to be seen. Oh yea, I put 5,000 miles on it so far, and still can't get rid of the epoxy smells when I accelerate. Seems to come thru the vents.
