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.

This is my first new Toyota after having owned two new Nissans, so I had high expectations moving from the Japanese brand with the lowest reputation for quality (Nissan) to the Japanese brand with one of the highest reputations for quality (Toyota). To say I've been disappointed in the quality of my new, 2025 Toyota Corolla would be an understatement. Let's start with paint and body panels. The paint scratches and chips ridiculously easily much more so than either of my Nissans. One pebble or twig in the wind WILL damage your clear coat, if not also the paint underneath. Heck, one accidental swipe of a finger nail could leave a deep scratch.... As far as body panels, they do seems to be better held together than either of my Nissans, but not by much, and uneven gaps in body panels are not at all hard to find. But, still, if I had to choose between slightly less tightly fitting body panels, and paint as soft as chalk, I'd go with the loose body panels. In this respect, I miss my Nissans. My new Toyota is going to cost me far more money to maintain the integrity of the paint, where as this was not a worry or issue at all with my Nissans. Next, let's talk about drive train. This is where I wish I had bought the hybrid for it's higher refinement. The base CVT transmission (the hybrid uses a different, E-CVT) in my Corolla jerks and lurches like crazy. The Jatco CVT transmission in my 2018 Nissan Sentra, despite it's horrible reputation and not being as responsive from a stop as the Toyota, NEVER jerked or lurched in the 80k miles I put on that car. The engines in both of my Nissans also sounded MUCH more refined. The 2 liter engine in my base Corolla makes awful sounding, raspy rattles at different RPMs. These can usually only be heard if the music and air are both off, but they are definitely present, and easily make their way into the cabin. Many other owners have taken their Corollas with the base engine back to the dealer for the same issue, only to be told that all is well. On the note of rattles, they also are coming from interior components, and again, much more so than either of my Nissans. The air vent fan(s) rattle if you have the air all of the way up, and there's a rattle coming from somewhere inside of the center dash, another common complaint amongst new Corolla owners that Toyota is reluctant to address. Nothing like this ever rattled to this extent on either of my Nissans, and certainly not when they were brand new. More on the interiors: Nissan's seats are extremely comfortable. The only vehicle I've owned with more comfortable seats than my Nissans was my Volvo. Toyota's seats in this Corolla are flat, unsupportive, and a bit too firm. The rest of the cabin is okay in comparison to my Nissans, but I do still notice that some touch points, like interior door handles and steering wheel controls, feel significantly looser, less tactile, and cheaper than in my Nissans. Over all, I am still very nervous that I would have been happier with another Nissan, or even a Honda or Mazda, but on the same hand, the main reasons I wanted a Toyota (outside of assuming the quality and refinement would be significantly better than Nissan) were for longevity, reliability, and an over-all lower cost of ownership compared to other Japanese automakers. I'm not sure how much the paint issues will scew my ownership costs (body work is so expensive now), but if the car holds up to Toyota's reputation for longevity and reliability, I won't regret this purchase in the long run. I will say, though, that the quality issues I have mentioned do undermine my confidence in the car's long-term reliability. If I purchase another Toyota after this one, I will certainly be doing much more research into the quality of the model I am interested in. This time around, I trusted Toyota's reputation for quality much more than I should have.

I recently purchased a 2025 Corolla (Toyota Loyalty), but I can't believe there's a lever on the passenger seat to raise the height. When I ride in the passenger seat I can barely see out, because I'm only 5'4 . I'm very disappointed but I'll live
