Toyota Corolla it's like getting a (BOGO) Buy one

I base my car buying on past the experience of cars I have owned. Over a lifetime I have owned, driven or repaired everything out there including tractor trailers and army tanks. The most important test for a car is time or the long term test. Cars with long term reliability are very hard to find. I 'm talking about 200,000 plus miles and 15 plus years of daily commuting with recommended maintenance only. My newest 2015 Corolla is replacing a 2004 Corolla which now has 230,000 miles and will be 17 years old in November. If you follow the exact maintenance recommendations in the Toyota Corolla owners manual you will have a car that will last. The other part of the long lasting car equation is how you drive and care for the car. If you drive like a pro not as if driving were a competition tires and brakes will last longer too. The cars in my life that have been the least expensive to own and operate have always been powered by a 4 cylinder engine with no frills. Consider things like the miles per gallon, the cost of repairs, the frequency of repairs, and price when making a buying decision. Throw in the longevity of a Corolla and you have a BOGO or buy one get one. My 2015 Corolla is the mirror of my 2004 when it comes to it's drive train. The body and interior are much more stylish. The electronics and safety features are top of the line. Toyota Corolla safe, reliable, easy to maintain, and you get a (BOGO) if you drive it like you want it to last. Exciting no but I can go to an amusement park if I want a thrill ride. Good Luck.

CVT Is Horrible

The new corollas are slow and its mainly because the CVT transmission. The engine and overall design of the car would be awesome with a real transmission in it but that rubber band CVT doesn't help it out at all. Slow acceleration, bad reliability and noisy. The new corolla makes more noise then it does power, my 2007 model is faster. The DOHC paired with just the four speed auto transmission in my old corolla is faster then any of the new CVT corollas. Glad I have a older model.

Poor handling and mpg

I rented this car and I am so surprised that so many people actually bought this car. I don't encourage speeding but, if you had to get out of a line or had to get somewhere sooner I would not recommend doing it in this car. Steering response is weak and miles per gallon is not good at all for this car. There are several cars in its class with better gas mileage. Acceleration is almost non existing and makes gas feel like water. Expected more from a 2015 sport model, I cant imagine what the base models feel like. You will find the same reliability elsewhere.

Great commuter car with issues.

Pros: - great gas mileage (I'm getting 35MPG with mostly highway miles) - entertainment console is easy to use even while in motion - small, sporty family car Cons: - way too small for anyone 6' or taller (I fit but commonly have to bend my legs and constantly be moving or my legs go numb, and a hard time getting in/out of the car) - also way too small for a family size larger than 2 (with my infant in her rear facing carseat behind the passenger seat my wife cannot fit due to height, she still has to sit behind the drivers seat to have any room) - this car's steering/handling is worst of any car I have ever owned (driving at highway speeds the car floats, it drives in a straight line but the body/suspension/frame are constantly pulling to the left or right. This motion causes me to constantly have to pull the car one way or the other. I have had to deal with 3-4 service appointments where I was told that "this was the issue" or "that was the issue". First time they told me the front tires had too much of a toe so they completed a four wheel alignment. Didn't fix the issue. Brought it in again and they replaced the rear axle beam. No fix. This last time, they told me nothing was wrong and that is "just how the Corolla handles.") - during snow, rain, or wind you might as well leave the car in the garage and walk to work (with any sort of wind, at all, the car is pushed around as if I was driving a skateboard, snow or rain is dangerous in this car) Overall: I'm looking for a new car, ASAP. I may even try to lemon this thing.
