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.
The name Corolla is part of Toyota's naming tradition of using names derived from the Toyota Crown for sedans, with "corolla" Latin for "small crown". The Corolla has always been exclusive in Japan to Toyota Corolla Store locations, and manufactured in Japan with a twin, called the Toyota Sprinter until 2000.

Read What Owners Say

😐 NEUTRAL

Stay away from the S2K it has probably been beat to shit by all its owners. Now, if it was one person owned, then that's a different conversation. With that many owners it was probably driven hard, and when they got bored with it, it was dumped to someone else. If the corolla is paid off I would keep it. If you can sell it and make a profit plus buy the Lexus only due to your safety concerns wit

👍 POSITIVE

2014 Corolla here, closing in on 120,000miles and the only repair I’ve had to make was during covid when mice ate some wires because my car sat in the driveway too long. If I’m being honest I’m painfully bored of the car at this point and on the verge of buying something much less practical but the corolla has been such a champ for me for 7+ years now.

👍 POSITIVE

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

👍 POSITIVE

This is my first manual car and what I learned on, I love the positioning of the knob it feels natural to me

👍 POSITIVE

I also looked at your link which is a solid deal. Just a little comparison with 93000 miles, 1 owner, clean title and a little bit of paint damage I paid 6k for my car which leaves me with a lot of extra money for subs, head units and any other aftermarket part I wanna put on
