Good value, but uncomfortable seats

Last car was Toyota built (Scion xA), and I loved it. My mechanic’s top pick brand was Toyota. So, I chose a Toyota Corolla LE. Sufficient technology, touchscreen options are easy to navigate. Nice features like auto setting for headlights. Lacks variable speeds for intermittent wipers, and I miss having a rear window wiper. Excellent visibility. Sound system is basic, no equalizer. Sufficient trunk space. CVT transmission shifts smoothly. The surprise, after my super comfortable Scion xA (which was that line’s least expensive car, and one of the least expensive cars on the market at the time), is that the seats are so uncomfortable. If you’re heavyweight, slump when you’re sitting, and sit with your back rounded, you’ll probably be perfectly happy. I’m light (130 lbs), sit with good posture, and there is zero lumbar support with these seats. After just a 30 minute drive, my back was aching and I had to go in search of a comfortable lumbar support cushion. Is it a great car? No. Is it a good value in today’s market? Yes.

Worst vehicle I have ever owned.

I purchased a new 2024 Corolla LE in July of 2024. Car had minor irritating things like body panels that weren’t completely flush together and rattle noises during accelerating. What really irritated me was having to bring it in at roughly 3,000 miles to have a faulty CV axle replaced. 3 out of the 4 windows were sloppy and loose in the track. (Only the driver side was tight) I changed the oil at half the recommended interval. So at 5,000 I changed it and caught a sample of it when I dropped the old oil is was so dark no light would pass through it. I’ve never had a new car or even used car have this dark of oil during a change. Supposedly the full synthetic should be good for 10k but I have to question that. Seats in the car are very uncomfortable for trips longer than an hour. The engine made weird sounds that I was not use to hearing on a previous 2022 Corolla I owned. (Traded the 22 when the transmission started leaking and hesitating during highway driving almost like pulsing and that was at 6k) I really thought I just got a lemon on the 2022 so foolishly I bought a 2024. The transmission is very sluggish and noisy on the 2024. Ended up trading the 2024 Corolla for a completely different make. Honestly I doubt I will ever buy another Toyota.

Great looking vehicle for the money

Bought the car in our name but it is being used exclusively by our daughter who is attending optometry school and needs a reliable vehicle. Although I only drove it for a test drive, that experience confirmed what I was expecting: a good-looking, solid vehicle, with nice features in the cabin. So far, my daughter loves the car. Based on our experiences with numerous other Toyotas we have owned, I expect that we will have this car for at least 10 years. Currently, we own a 20 year old Sienna with 263K miles and a 10 year old Sienna with 234K miles. We also previously owned a Corolla and two different Camrys that all gave us 15+ years of service. We love Toyota vehicles!
Toyota is the best decision.

The Corolla is an excellent car. Road noise on highway is very quiet, so you don't have to crank the stereo. You don't need performance because all performance does is get you in trouble. Smart, reliable, practical and affordable. Drive one yourself before listening to someone's opinion.

I live in a city wear the roads are bad. Even the highways are bad. I hit bumps and the car takes a lot of hits and I have to avoid low train tracks because the car will sink once it hits one. The car now rattles from being on these bad roads.
