2012 Toyota Corolla Review

By KBB.com Editors
You'll Like This Car If...

If you've been burned in the past by promises of "great reliability" and "bullet-proof resale value," the 2012 Toyota Corolla should help rebuild your faith that some promises

You May Not Like This Car If...

If you're looking for cutting-edge style or the latest engineering features, the aging Corolla platform with its 132-horsepower engine and 4-speed automatic transmission probably won't impress

How it Drives

While the S trim is the most enjoyable to drive, all of the 2012 Toyota Corolla sedans deliver a solid, comfortable ride and no rude surprises. The S trim's larger wheel-and-tire package and available manual transmission allow it to at least attempt some fun on twisting back roads, but don't look for a lot of zip coming out of the turns, because the Corolla's 1.8-liter engine can't provide it. Again, as a standard mode of transportation, the Corolla does just fine, but any attempt to run with likes of a Mazda3 or even the new Ho

Pros: "fun to drive, great on gas still stylish, roomy"

Cons: "did not get a sun roof"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I have to say "I LOVE THIS CAR"! I bought this car a year ago with 19,000 miles on it and have been extremely satisfied with everything about this car. I have a 7 year 100,000 mile warranty on it but do not plan on ever having to use it. the car handles well is great on gas (34 mpg) on the open road can't complain about the mpg in city either. I traded an 07 Toyota 4 runner and don't miss the gas hog a bit! Now instead of putting $100 in the gas tank and driving 2 weeks I put $37 and drive 2 weeks. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to save money."

Pros: "Looks nice, drives good and takes curves well."

Cons: "No comfort for long distance driving. NO ASHTRAYS"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 4

"The car looks as good as it was new. Comfort from long distance driving is very hard on a persons back. Gas mileage (30 mpg) stinks for as small of a car that it is. I have owned others with much better mileage. It is a nice looking car, but it isn't all the Toyota Dealers lead on that it is."
