About Toyota Corolla
The 2017 Toyota Corolla is destined to remain a best-seller, thanks to new styling, a simplified model lineup, improved interior, and a host of standard safety equipment that's unheard of in this class, or even in cars costing much more. It all adds up to a tremendous value, and while the Corolla hasn't been equated with excitement for decades, its reliability, low price and predictable driving dynamics keep it not just competitive, but a leader in the compact-sedan market. Okay, it's not as fun to drive as the Mazda3, Ford Focus or even longtime rival Honda Civic. But the Corolla costs less, is exceptionally roomy front and rear, and its 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine makes up in fuel economy what it lacks in horsepower.

Toyota Safety Sense-P is standard equipment on all Corolla models, adding adaptive cruise, automatic collision braking and more for a base price that's less than $20,000. The model lineup has been simplified to match the Toyota Camry, the interior gets a materials upgrade, and the exterior styling is also updated and improved.

Siri Eyes Free Mode is added to the Entune Audio Plus, while the Entune Premium is available on LE, LE Eco and S trims.
The compact Toyota Corolla gains only modest enhancements for 2015. LE and LE Eco models get a new painted front grille, while LE, S and LE Eco Premium trims become mono-spec cars, gaining last year’s Driver Convenience Package (moonroof, Smart Key and Entune), but offering no other packages or upgrades.
The 2013 Toyota Corolla gets a mild restyle of the grille (thin chrome strips) and some shuffling of equipment packages. It is offered in the same three trim levels: Base L, mid-level LE and top-line S.
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.
For 2010, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRAC) are now standard on all trims.
This new Corolla
sedan, available in five "grades" from base to sporty and the more powerful XRS, is a better-looking car than the plain-Jane previous generation. It's also quieter and slightly roomier, achieves better fuel economy with its standard 1.8-liter engine and offers better performance and handling in 2.4-liter XRS trim.

"I leased 2015 Corolla S, completely uncomfortable car in the front seats, you feel like you are pushed from the sided due to the sharp curves of the seats, meaning tiny shoulder room, no lumbar support at all. Its an average car for the price, but Civic or Elantra kills it with distance. The 2015 corolla is very weak and rough, not smooth as Im used to from a Toyota car."

"Overall the car is fine. What makes this car stand out its the reliability and great safety features which comes standard. CVT transmission is not close to nissan and power is somewhat okay. Its a car to get you from point A to point B. Comfort is okay nothing to wow anyone. Overall is good car for college students or anyone who wants something to get from and to work ."

Cons: "Seats are quite firm for my taste."

"I owned a lot of Toyotas like Prius, Camrys, Avalons, Highlander, and Sequoia. This is my first small car from Toyota (I used to have Nissan Sentras, Mitsubishi Lancers, 2003 Accord coupe). So far, I love my new Corolla LE. It is quieter than the previous version Corolla and other car in its class that I rented (I usually rent cars for 3 days to compare them before buying one). Right now, I am getting 37 mpg combined. Interior is nice especially the dashboard, with easy to control radio and temperature. The available reverse camera is very helpful. Seats are comfortable, but quite hard for my taste though. Although the exterior may look aggressive or sporty especially with a standard LED headlights, but it is not a sports car. It is a modern compact car that focus more in reliability, comfort, and safety and fuel economy. Overall, this 2014 Corolla is a balance of economy of small car and comfort of bigger cars."
