Toyota Corolla
Select a Year
(2 available)
The 2012 Toyota Corolla L gains color-keyed power side mirrors, power windows with driver's auto-down feature, power door locks, and keyless entry. The LE trim gains steering wheel audio controls and 16-inch alloy wheels. The LE and S trims also get a new audio unit with MP3/WMA CD playback capability, a USB iPod interface, and Bluetooth connectivity for cell phone and music streaming.
For 2011, the Corolla receives new front and rear fascias, an upgraded interior, standard Smart Stop technology (a brake-override system) and the Toyota Care Complimentary Maintenance Program as standard. The XLE and XRS trims have been dropped.
Settling for the most inexpensive car on the lot may not be the best way to get the most for your money. Take, for example, the Toyota Corolla Sedan. While it may be a bit more expensive than some competitors, the Corolla has an exemplary history of quality, longevity and reliability, not to mention a minimal appetite for fuel. Still, some shoppers will inevitably turn to the less-expensive and better-equipped models from Hyundai, Kia and Suzuki. But, buyer beware; for as these cars appear to offer more features and better styling for less money up front, when it comes trade-in time the Corolla owner will be laughing all the way to the bank.

"I got this car a month ago and I absolutely love it. Powerful for a Corolla and definitely roomier. And most of all, great on gas!"

"What a great car. Its everything promised. Very low maintenance cost. With fuel prices so high I'm glad this car gets great fuel economy.I get around 38mpg on the highway with the 5 speed stick. Nice Styling. I wish it had a bit more rear leg room and horsepower even though I know it will decrease the fuel economy. Drove the competition but the Corolla is the one for me. I can fully understand why this car sells a lot. I saw a couple of very negative reviews of this car. I dont think those people actually own a Corolla. Like the Toyota commercials say. Ask an owner :). They will tell you how great these cars are."

"I love this car!! I hit a large deer late one night, and the fact that I walked away from the accident with nothing wrong with me is beyond my belief. The safety of this car is top notch! I will be purchasing another one of these cars!!"
