I am leasing this Corolla and I have been quite pleased with almost everything about it so far. It is super reliable! 20,000 miles and nothing put into it but two oil changes, tire rotations, and new wiper blade inserts. The cars acceleration for a 1.8L is what you would expect. I find you get the best pull between 3,000-5,000 RPM. The seats and comfort of the interior is what I would call, standard, for a vehicle in this price range. The trunk space is superb! The one thing I don't like about this car is the transmission. Nothing is mechanically flawed with it that I have noticed; but the rubber band effect is very much present in this CVT. In normal driving mode the CVT has a rough feel in stop and start traffic. It smooths out at cursing speeds and does provide me with 39.7 MPG, so it has that. If you keep the car in sport mode the transmission responds much better in all conditions but cuts about 9 MPG off your fuel economy.

Fun Car

This car is absolutely amazing. I bought it used at 57,000 miles and the car runs like a dream. It has never given me any issues. For a compact car, it is really spacious. For a sport, it is a really great gas saver; I get 33MPG. The acceleration is actually pretty good in this car considering it is only a four cylinder and the sport mode is actually pretty fun. The car also handles corners really well. Overall, really reliable and fun car. Highly recommended.

Love this car it’s absolutely perfect for me. I traded in my 2006 Toyota Corolla S for the 2016. I’ve had great success with these cars. It handles great too.
