Toyota Corolla:

The Toyota Corolla is a series of compact cars manufactured and marketed globally by the Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corporation. Introduced in 1966, the Corolla has been the world's best-selling automobile nameplate of all time since 1997, when it surpassed the Volkswagen Beetle. Toyota reached the milestone of 50 million Corollas sold over twelve generations in 2021.

It’s true. It’s like a rite of passage. I had a 98 rolla and drove that bitch to extinction. I did so much shit to it when I was younger, I abused it and it never let me down. I had doubts as to how far I’d feel like taking it but I drove that shit on hella road trips surprisingly. It was a good car, loyal. No issues ever. Just get the oil change and you good. I miss it, I’ll never forget when I w

😐 NEUTRAL

The corrolla is and always has been a car you buy because you don't really care. It's a car. It gets good gas mileage. It won't break down. It's safe. It's not aggressively ugly in any way. You can't point at anything that is "wrong" with it. It is a turkey and cheese sandwich on white bread and that's exactly what many people want.

👍 POSITIVE

I'll give it to Toyota that the Corolla looks much better this year. Much better.

👎 NEGATIVE

"Trust us, no one will look at your Corolla XSE and think "basic transportation." Everyone is always going to think Corollas are basic transportation.......

👎 NEGATIVE

ITT: Toyota's car literally never known for sportiness in the past 20 years is beaten by the car known for entry level sportiness for the past twenty+ years. Boy you can read these upvote trends just based on the fucking threads that come out like 2 days earlier. First it was the TOYOTA COROLLA IS THE WORST EUROPEAN SPORTS CAR thread, now it's this shit. Same thing happened with the transmissio

👎 NEGATIVE

Newsflash: the Civic has always been more of a performer than the Corolla, but oddly enough more than 50% of the population doesn’t care about performance.

👎 NEGATIVE

Corolla's are one of the least joyful cars to drive. Absolutely hate those things. Had one as a loaner once and it was a newer one, 2018.......no, never again.
