2024 Toyota Corolla Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Super disappointed
Three biggest complaints that completely ruin the driving experience with this car. 1. the rear brake light housing located inside the car at the base of the rear window has a plastic cover that emits a 12- inch by 12-inch silver reflection in the middle of the rear window glass when sunlight or lights from other cars behind you at night shine on it completely hindering your ability to see out the rear window which is a HUGE driving hazard. 2. The seats are hard as a rock and seamed in 3 uneven places causing your butt to always be in a mismatched position making your behind ache after just a few minutes behind the wheel. 3. The road noise emitting from this vehicle is so deafening loud it is ridiculous.

Reliable above all else
I needed a mew car and it was between the Hyundai Elantra, Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. I chose the Corolla because it came standard with adaptive cruise control and a host of safety features, plus it's a Toyota! It drives quickly and quickly down the interstate. I did not buy the Corolla and expect to beat a Mustang. The Corolla's strength is its proven reliability. I bought it because its a damn good car. I could easily afford a large pickup truck or SUV but I just don't see the point in wasting so much money on fuel and maintenance. I average about 60 miles a day on my commute and I average between 36 and 41 mpg driving around 75 to 80 mph. I bought the base model and upgraded the wheels with Velox rims from Costco. I have about 2000 miles on car so far, no complaints and I look forward to many years of reliable driving. Thanks Toyota!

Middle of the road
Good reliable vehicle so far. Great gas mileage. Issues I have had: rattling in back seat ceiling, they had to place 2 dampeners. High pitched sound from blower, they replaced blower but still a problem. Seems to be a thing with toyotas but they have not come up with a solution. There are places to put small coins in the front of the car. Glove box is small. There is no light surrounding the keyhole to start the car. No sunglass spot. Using FM radio is a nightmare because everything is on the screen. Cupholders are not adjustable. Only USB-C ports. Rust spot on top of the car a year in but probably from a rock or something hitting.

“Engine Maintenance Required” Coolant Bypass Valve
I bought my 2023 Corolla brand new in April 2023. I’ve had the dreaded “Engine Maintenance Required” notification (code for cracked/malfunctioning coolant bypass valve) on 4 separate occasions, 3 of which were in the last month. It’s been replaced multiple times, and it’s still failing. It only has 15k miles, I’m wildly dissatisfied and disappointed in Toyota. AVOID 2021 - 2023 TOYOTAS AT ALL COSTS. They refuse to acknowledge the pervasiveness of this issue, despite the lawsuits, complaints, and frequency of failure. The heartbreak of buying a new vehicle only for it to be a catastrophic failure is real.

It comes with a driver ed module
I tried to drive this thing as if my last three cars were Mercedes's. The new-fangled Corolla wanted to correct my steering, brake way ahead of time, turn red on the dashboard and ring bells when I went too fast, and I'm totally okay with that. Like any Corolla, it's fun to bomb around in this thing. The big difference from recent vehicles is that I would not drive it too fast on the highway, especially on a windy day. In that sense, I appreciate having an automated driver ed instructor in the car.
