I am not liking my Toyota Corolla 2020 since the first day. Every day something new doesn’t work. Today light on console doesn’t work. I am the original owner I only drive 10,000 km per year and with covid even less. Very noisy car until it warms up which takes a long time. Auto start key is useless because heater doesn’t come on to help clean snow of front or rear windows. Interior Plastic already damage with long scratch because it’s cheap quality. I am the only driver of this car. I can’t see the interior of the car door after I open the door. I want to push the lock button I can’t see it to select it. Interior lights very poor quality. My key is buried in purse. I don’t use. Seat is too straight up. Relax a little Toyota. I can’t slant it back or it puts me too far away from steering wheel. Manuel is too big. Too much info. First car I’ve own that I can’t read the fill manual. Manual needs to be more user friendly. Connection from iPhone to car hardly ever works. Sometime this items works sometimes not. I live in a major city. There is no problem with my iPhone service. Google maps display is terrible. I want to see on the map where I am going to not just where I am at. Street names only appear when I am on them. Again I want to see where I’m going ahead of time. Looking at iPhone while driving is not any good either because I only get written directions. I want to see map. So much frustration with this car. I can’t wait to get rid of it. Don’t buy it! That’s all I can say!

Just turned in my Corolla sport for the Corolla LE. I’m very unhappy. Side driver’s mirror is wavy and distorted and very difficult to see when driving and changing lanes. There is also a blind spot in between the front driver’s side and rear driver’s side windows, it is very dangerous. Many new controls, perhaps too many, and my sales person was very abrupt with me. Have had other Corollas before with no issue but I’m not happy with this.
Great car

I purchased a used Corolla that only had 12.7k miles on it about a month ago and so far, it's been great. I'm a delivery driver so I've already put over 1k miles on it and I've had zero issues with it so far. The CVT definitely is a little slow if you're someone who needs to accelerate quickly in a short amount of time frequently like myself, but most of the time I try to drive like a normal person to be safe and get decent fuel economy so it hasn't been much of a bother. My only real complaint is the speaker setup. They got rid of the big speakers in the very back of the car and just have little baby speakers on the rear doors in the back that make up about 5% of the sound you get when playing audio. Most of the audio is in the front of the car which can suck if you have frequent passengers in the back or just like that all around sound. The other small issue I have is the fact that their infotainment system STILL doesn't support Android Auto! For a 2020 car, that is ridiculous. I've managed to work around it by just buying a magnetic phone mount so I can use Google Maps on my phone instead of the infotainment system but that was pretty lame of Toyota to not have something like that. Other than those two minor issues though, mechanically, the car has gotten me from A to B every time with no issue. It drives pretty smoothly, it gets great fuel economy, and the safety features come in handy for someone who does a lot of city driving during traffic hours when people are really impatient and dumb. Hoping to make an update in a few months to see if it's still holding up after some more time. Update: Still zero issues with the car. Loving the fuel economy and the reliability! Update: Still no issues mechanical issues with the car. Just a tiny bit of squeaking from the driver door occasionally when the bass from my music hits but that's not a big deal at all. Turns on every time and gets good gas still!

Trash

This car is a [non-permissible content removed]. It’s only useful for the MPG. It’s features are completely half assed and consistently malfunction. Features that are completely unnecessary in the first place. Like recognizing speed limit signs and notifying you on the front console. It’s wrong 95% of the time. It’s infotainment system is absolute trash. It ONLY has apple car play and it hardly works properly. Seats are uncomfortable and the car has one of the lowest amounts of space when comparing it to similar vehicles. I guess you can also call the lack of having to press down on the button to switch into neutral a feature as well. There is so little resistance that you can use a piece of uncooked spaghetti to shift into neutral without it breaking. I wouldn’t be surprised if the momentum of photons from a flashlight is strong enough for it to shift gears.

Great car with lots of miles over a gallon as well as the car itself. Safer as ever with its additional safety features. Fun to drive and our family drives only Toyota models. Toyota is our choice because of its reliability, dependability, and quality workmanship.

This car pulls you in because of looks, however looks is all you get. This car is made with cheap junk materials. Can be scratched, stained and just wore out looking in less than 6 months on the inside. The car paint must be the bottom of the barrel it is super pretty but can scrape off within a second not with much effort from anything or by anyone. After 20 to 30 minutes sitting in it you feel your back or leg bothering you. Never mind going to the Doctor to see if you have a issue with your body., this car will discover it for you. I had many back seat passengers complaints about 3 things over and over they are 1. They hit there head going in and out of the car. 2. They said the air conditioning is not cool enough for the back or even where one side is cooler than the other. 3. They said the seatbelt noise goes off in the back if no body is in the seat and is extra loud. Also the seatbelt noise comes on to soon and fast even if you are slowly rolling in the neighborhood only to your neighbors driveway. The cars cruise control is terrible., Once you turn on the cruise get ready to struggle. This is when your frustration starts, be prepared to fight the steering wheel the whole time, and if another car comes in front of you and appears to be “ close “ in sight ( but is not that close ) than the Toyota Corolla will suddenly break very hard to where your body will move! And you think wow that was unnecessary and dangerous. Then these 4 flaps on the steering wheel that if pressed on a accident will change your gears from drive to neutral while driving ( real dangerous ). The gas mileage is not what you think it empties fast for that kind of car and reputation is very surprising. Than how it drives is not like a 2020 new car neither for a supposed “ Toyota Corolla “ . Within 6 months the car has already felt like close to stalling just from accelerating from a traffic light intersection. In my new car I shouldn’t be hearing or recognizing the idling noise, but at times off and off I would hear it idle ruff and hard than at times Quit. Than a high sounding noise would be heard on the outside of my car when I switched it from park to reverse. I will ask anyone this question. Would anyone have this much wrong with a brand new 2020 Toyota Corolla, I think NOT
Worst car I’ve ever owned

This car is complete and utter trash. I bought the car because I’ve heard Toyota’s last forever and have very little problems. Well I was misinformed I’ve had my Corolla for a little over a year and in that year it’s been in the shop 5 times. Now mind you I’m the original owner and I take very good care of my vehicles. I can tell you one thing I will be getting rid of it within the next couple months. Also it’s the most good uncomfortable vehicle I’ve ever ridden in.
