Used 2018 Toyota Corolla Consumer Reviews
Issues Galore, Toyota is NOT the brand they were
I purchased this vehicle Oct 2020 when it had ~18k miles on it. I have since clocked the odometer at 31k and stayed up on my service. Bluetooth always had intermittent cutout/disconnect/sync issues (I believe this was the reason for early lease trade in on it)...then it would work for a month, etc. It outright failed a week ago and no longer works, 2 months outside of warranty...GO FIGURE. They won't help me out. 2018 car that cant even play music or take phone calls. Also has an extremely rough idle after being driven for about an hour, feels like its going to stall. Service dept couldn't replicate the problem but told me to bring it in if it does it again. Well, It does it everyday. Wont fix anything until it breaks at which point Toyota will pick and choose which parts their supposed 'certified pre owned warranty' actually covers....im not holding my breath. Stuck with a lemon!

Save your money and buy a foreign car instead
Don't get me wrong owning this car for 4 years it saved me on gas fills up with 23 dollars. Very comfortable driving and economic of course. But my big concern was that the whole screen in the car turns pitch black all of a sudden while I was driving and at the time I had 102,000m on my car. YOUR DEALERSHIP WILL CHARGE YOU SOO MUCH TO HAVE YOUR NAV SYSTEM REPLACED! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A AFFORDABLE CAR WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE!!! Toyota charging me 3,000 to replace the whole system when I did it myself for $400. Sold my car and bought a better quality car. JS.

Don't buy
We rented this car for a week and can't wait to take it back. The cruise control only works on flat pavement. How often are all the roads you drive on flat? The sun visors don't extend to the length need to help the passengers or drivers if the sun is coming in from a side window. I guess this company expects everyone to drive into the sun at all times on flat roads. I would never buy a Toyota.

Great car
It's bit lower to the ground for me since I'm used to SUV's but this car is very quite and drives smooth

Decent features, great safety, a few blemishes
I've had my corolla for about 2 years now, put about 40,000 miles on it. Had the SE model of the vehicle. The SE version of the car has a different front bumper, because of that it had premature cracking in the upper corners, seems to be an issue across the board. The adaptive cruise control/cruise control does not do so well with down hills. The car often accelerates down hill before applying the brakes and then maintains the proper speed, a very annoying and could get you in trouble with speeding feature. The SE model has a much more premium feel the the lower models. It's much easier to maintain because of that. I totaled mine at 65,000 miles, hit a concrete guard rail head on at 60 mph and rolled the vehicle. I walked away with only a few scrapes and bruises. The safety of this vehicle is tried and true. Crash was at no fault of the vehicle. Looking at buying another one.
