For me this car is perfection. I am 70 and needed the included safety features. I was blown away with how much I enjoy driving the car. Responsive and always predictable, smooth shifts, good power, nice braking even when it gives it's opinion on brake force. First day I had it, took my sister on a 700 mile medical trip. Torrential rain, 60 % freeway, 30% coast range, 10 % big city and stop and go getting out of city. MPG ave 36.9 I felt safe in all the situations. I am person who traded in a Prius a few years ago because the seats made me cry. This car seat felt the same after 18 hours as it did at the start. Toyota knocked it out of the park as far as I am concerned. First time I have named a car.

Best Car Ever!

I have owned the 2020 Toyota Corolla LE since May and I have fallen in love with it completely! I love the Apple CarPlay, lane assist, and dynamic radar cruise the most. I have had nothing but good experiences with this car and I drive it about a thousand miles a week. The last 20K miles on this car have been nothing but pleasant. If I had to have a complaint it would have to be that the screen has slow response rates when the car first starts up, and I wish it would just automatically load CarPlay instead of me having to select it. Outside of this, the car is excellent for long road trips and driving around the city. I usually average 36-42 mpg on the interstate and generally average 33-39 mpg in town while running the auto climate control with eco mode turned on. I have owned many different vehicles and after owning this 2020 Corolla I will not own any car but a Corolla! Even though I am 6' 1" I have plenty of leg room while driving, major improvement over the 2019 and older models. 10/10 recommend.

My first car was a Toyota Corolla, and I loved it, but when it came time to get a new car after ten years, I wanted more horsepower. The 2.0 engine is awesome! I love the way they made it so that I can still get off red lights or in an out of traffic quickly. I love the feel of the Corolla. Also, this car handles like a dream. It takes curves and corners very well (MUCH improvement over my last Corolla). I do wish they would improve the graphics on the view screen. They are kind of bland which is weird because the backup camera is awesome and has super bright colors. I feel like this new generation looks so much better than the past, but it still has everything that makes Corollas amazing. I recommend the upgrade to push button start and leather wrapped steering wheel.

This is my 4th Corolla. I still have two 2014's. The 2020 Corolla is the best one yet. I have owned it about a month and I have been very impressed with the redesign and all the new safety features. Very comfortable and easy to drive. So much quieter and smoother than the previous models. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced, solidly built, reliable car that is very fuel efficient.

not perfect but a very good choice. great fuel economy, and tons of safety features. Big passengers might find it cramped, so look elsewhere if that's an issue. It had its flaws like noise and thumping but it didn't bother me one bit. Im just happy getting 42 mpg on a highway easy.

Good driving dynamics for a corolla, planted road feeling. Road noise is an issue on freeways, not well insulated. Had rattling issues in the beginning and now not so much, every now and then depending on pavement conditions. Had one issue that costed me over $500 to fix it was that wiring harness to brakes was damaged by probably chipmunk or some other animal because they seem to use Soy based insulation for wires. Toyota warranty didn't cover it. In summary, it is a decent car with good handling and safety features for daily commute.

Lacking some in “get up and go,” but I love everything else! Great on gas, handy electronic features, spacious, love the size and helpfulness of the touch screen.

I have a 2020 LE + Premium Package with just shy of 8,000 miles on it. I have previously leased a 2016 Civic EX-T for 2 years (latest gen) and we currently have a 2018 Accord Touring (latest gen), so I definitely can compare it accurately to Honda. I have no idea what some of these people are complaining about. First off, no issues so far other than the interior lights not coming on (simple hardware warranty fix I'm sure). Car starts everytime and is going to for as long as I want to keep the vehicle. Maybe there were some issues for the new 2.0L engine or initial problems due to the first year, but I haven't experienced any. Car drives very nicely. Seats are comfortable for me (commuting daily, picking up kids, etc), audio sounds fantastic (better than our Accord's upgraded system), steering is nice, braking is nice, Blind Spot mirrors are a welcome feature, Adaptive Cruise, large media screen, BTA works just as well as BTA does in ANY vehicle (which 99% of the time is good). Complaints are minimal. The engine IS too loud under acceleration (I'd give up some HP in exchange for more muffling) and acceleration is "adequate". This year does not currently (although it MAY be an option in the future to upgrade) support Android Auto. Basically, those are the ONLY things you really need to be aware of. Is there something I miss from my Civic (again, latest gen)? Not really other than the Turbo 1.5 was nicer (although it was the upgraded engine) and maybe AA (although honestly I like my setup now). Our Accord definitely has features that I'd love to have (dynamic backup lines, ultra-sonic sensors, Heads Up display) as well as of course Heated/Ventilated Leather seats, but you are talking about AT LEAST a $10,000 increase in cost (> 50% more than the Corolla). The key question is this: do I love driving the Accord more? No, not really. Ignore the hate. It's a great vehicle and I expect to log many miles onto it without drama.

I purchased the Corolla SE with a 6 speed manual. I chose the manual because the automatic is a CVT trans and I didn't like the way it drove. The manual is an almost different car. I've owned it a week and love it. I would give the CVT trans version a 2 to 3 star rating. The only defect noted is the passenger side pull handle in the roof pillar.

Excellent vehicle. Peppy with the 2.0 motor. Much improved exterior styling. Doesn’t have the terrible cvt drone like other cars. Well worth the money. Love the fit and finish of Toyota vehicles.
