As other manufacturers step up their game, delivering ever more stylish, efficient and advanced entries the Corolla carries on as a competent compact with a reputation for reliability.
low fuel consumption, minimal repairs and affordable. what else does a working family man need?
Still running with 125k+ mileage
@@Relax4now I would hope so 😂
This aged well lol
I own a 2016 Corolla with over 50,000 miles and not a single problem. There's a reason these cars are the best selling in the world. Comfort, reliability, space and low maintenance cost. Everyday I see Corollas from the 1990s through 2018 model years. Occasionally I'll see a 1970s or 80s Corolla running strong.
It's August 29, 2020. I have this exact colour, model, trim and year corolla. I've put 165,000 clicks in this and it drives like it's brand new. It's not a sporty ride, but it goes and is still super smooth. Love this car.
My mom has one literally just like the one in this video. She loves it, my dad loves it, and I love it when she lets me drive it occasionally.
Oh, and her's usually gets between 34 and 40 MPG. Usually around 38.5 .
@@ToxicVenom324 my dad got one in 2011 still running well with 125k mileage. 100% reliable.
Brag all you want, folks. I have a 1992 Toyota Corolla I took off the showroom floor brand new. Until recently, haven't had to put much money into it. It's now 28 years old, needs the A/C repaired again due to using reconditioned replacements previously and the transmission, also used from a salvage dealer, is slipping. But I don't go much of anywhere and it is much more comfortable than the newer models which I have driven as rentals. Still has the original paint, which does need re-done, especially since someone decided to put patio textured paint in splotches down the side. But that doesn't keep it from starting and being the love of my life (as cars go).
One word Reliable
Just bought one yesterday, with 115k km (71k miles). Rides super smooth!
It'sGucci thinking of getting a 11-13 S. How much you think I should save up or how much is the monthly payment at the dealer?
@@aserg3916 I bought mine out for $7000 CAD, each area will vary.
@@MrEliteLolz that's so cheap man....am getting corolla for 180k mileage for the same price
@@Dabal_R yeah covid prices, my car went up in value like 3k
@@MrEliteLolz omg
I almost bought a 2010 but it was a sob story scam. Refused to give me VIN and profile picture was from Google.
I have this car and it's a pretty good car for being a Corolla. It's super reliable and easy to drive. The steering wheel is easy to turn and is overall not a bad car. This guy seems like he has some anger or he's tense or something. He should try working on that maybe.
LukeJaguar I think its a little too easy to turn the wheel even though it does feel smooth. Hit a bump and you have to be careful it doesnt turn your car. On the highway you have to keep the wheel very straight because it gets out of the lane so easy with the slightest turn. Still like my car but its not perfect. Bought it for reliability mostly.
Driving a 2010 S in 2019. It is still advanced enough to feel up to date, is tastefully designed, is both safe feeling and has some of the best crash test ratings with a solid cabin, well designed crumple zones, with airbags everywhere and other safety features. Being higher in mileage and a little beat up having been used on the daily since it was new, it has a few issues but even those can just be lived with while it still trucks along RELIABLY. I've had no issue with the electric steering (actually safer than hydraulic) except that it is sensitive to tire pressure, which should be maintained anyway.
And BTW my combined mileage is 37.x consistently no matter how I drive it.
Just got this car for my daily commute and it's friggin awesome
I was looking up the specs for the Corolla sold in Asia, called the Corolla Altis. The thing has basically the same engine but the transmission options were a 6-speed manual or 7-speed auto! Toyota, please bring those here!!
I have a 2010 Corolla! Love that car
one of these 2011s has been driving around my town for months!
i bought this car back in march. i got the LE model (which i sort of regret, i didnt want the S because of the spoiler) ANYWAY. this car is great has no problem whatsoever. it does what it is supposed to do. great MPG. great 1st car :)
People should realize this car isn't meant for 0-60 or a quarter-mile time. Its meant for low income families and for families who'd have their cars still on the road a decade from now. Its reliable and practical. Two main components when a dad of 2 or 3 goes to look for a small, fuel efficient car.
Kbb forgot to mention its main/only rival - the civic. Might not be the exact competitor but people buy the civics for pretty much the same reason. Reliable and practical with a touch of sport.
“Reliable and practical with a touch of sport” … sums it up well 😎
No.matter what the competation. Corolla rules the earth
If you are sensible (who is? ) and want basic good, reliable economical travel, all round do anything performance, this is the best choice, unless you can see better value elsewhere. We have had ours for twelve years, with no costs, no troubles, excellent all round car.
I just bought one of these 2011 "S" models, the only stick that the dealer had on their sizable lot. Very happy with the car thus far, exactly what I was expecting, with a few extras that I wasn't, and frankly... I simply love the styling and the options that came with the car for the price. According to every review I've read, there are more powerful and in some ways better cars in this class, but I do believe I'll be with this one awhile, and have no worries about resale value when I'm done.
my parents still have a 1992 corolla don't see that slowing down
Reliability more than makes up for It's few and minor short comings
nothing attractive about this car, and many people find it boring, but its durability is unbeatable. None of it competitors can last longer even the Honda Civic.
I rented one back in December while my car was in the shop. It got me where I need to go but it was boring as hell to drive and the driver side leg room is cramped if you're 5' 11" and up.
my mom recently bought me a 2011 corolla for my first car and i think its good and reliable. i use to get to school 5 days a week going on the freeway. it has great mpg and ive always felt like i had total control of the wheel.
HOWEVER, i prefer the tailights of the '09 and '10 corollas... i dont know why they had to refresh the corolla's -sigh-
i could bought a new 2010 corolla but i wanted a 2011 cause why not just get the newer version, right?
anyway point is i think its a good car.
I love the new corolla I'm actually trying to save up for an "S"
Seriusly people doesn't know how to look, haters gonna hate. So slow? This is a family car not a racing car..you ricers don't even have a civic coupe 2000, and hating on a family car 2011, get a life.
Update from earlier post: have had my '11 Corolla "S" stick for close to 6 months now. 6,000 miles in, it continues to grow on me. What strikes me most is how comfortable this car is, both seats and ride, especially compared to my last car in this class (03 Civic LX). Performance is about the same, the Civic did get slightly better fuel economy. Very happy with the car.
Update?
⬆️
I have a Corolla Sport. 2011, I'm very happy, From Fargo North Dakota to Mcallen Texas $175 dlls of gas / 3.25 gl. is my toy. same as the video.
Finally I can put my hot dog bun in the glove box while listening to Rod Stewart.
my fat ass thought that was a loaf of bread haha
How can i supe up my 2011 carolla? Someone please reply as there is no v6 option
The carolla is entering camry territory, can't wait to see the 2012 camry tho! Expected to debut on august 17th! Ooooooo i love the. Arolla in sport red.
hi
I would get a 2011 Toyota Corolla S in Barcelona Red
the fuel efficiency would be to high for americans to handle...or keep up with...the 4 speed auto already delivers pretty high efficiency...it was one of the most efficient compacts in consumer reports tests
OMG!! STICK SHIFT!!! YES!! FINALLY!!!
Toyota, please update the powertrain and interior. Get rid of that damn 1980's 4 speed auto and put in a 2011 6-7 speed auto. (We know ya have them in Lexus and other Toyotas). Then put in one of those quality Lexus interiors. Then youd be more competitive,
exterior looks much better than before.. but i am still a fan of the Hyundai elantra in this segment
Where exactly do you get that information? The Corolla does NOT get best in class fuel economy. Virtually all of it's competition gets around 40 mpg or slightly higher depending on which engine and transmission options you get. A 4 speed in 2013 is very dated and needs to be replaced with a 6 speed auto. My family's 2013 Dodge Dart has 160 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque with it's 1.4L Turbo. Our's is the 6 speed manual and manages 39 mpg highway! The Corolla has nowhere near that power/mpg balance.
I bet that dart doesnt run no more. Lol
@bradleyxwoah i honestly think the 2011 corolla's style is way better.
i payed about 17000 for my car with everything including taxes.
Is that a flat bottom steering wheel I saw? And WTF did they put in the top glove box?
It's not even like this is a "bad" car, it's simple and decently priced and all that jazz, my only gripe with it is that the competition is better, and this is coming from a person who owns a Toyota.
i think it is a nice car for what it is. which is like a starter car, but dont think it stands up well when next to the civic.

I took a look at your source. The Corolla is not listed as the best anymore. I'm not ignorant, I know cars and what they are rated at. I don't know who these consumers think they're kidding when they say that cars like the Corolla, Civic, Mazda 3, Dart, and Hyundai Elantra only get in the low 20's in the city when they are all rated at above 25 mpg city. And someone clames they got 47 mpg highway with a non-hybrid Civic? Not possible. That is false information posted there.
@flawns i didn't mean leasing was good, just in comparison to the other lease deals honda was giving. I don't actually know why my dad leased it.. lol
@conceptcs Simply put, sporty driving dynamics. The Corolla is very poor in that category against it's competition. The Focus is arguably the best.
idk why people bitch about this car, usually i set standards pretty high for cars i'd buy, but i see nothing wrong with this car. they finally got the exterior right for the sport model at the least, i could care less about the plastic, all i need is a radio, audio input and good bass/speaker system, n hell i'd be happy if the car went from 0-60 in 8 seconds.
this car suits me fine, of course i would buy the Quattro before any other car, but i could live fine with a car like this.
@casmatori
You bought a 2012 Focus already? I havent seen any at my dealerships and I want one so bad!
define a car that is not boring, in the same price level. i dont get how cars can be fun on a daily basis. not talking about oh drifting, speeding 200mph, convertible top. just everyday save gas get you from pt A to B safely. not to say these things last a long time.
Too many cars today are loaded with complicated controls and buttons. A basic Toyota with uncluttered interface is still by far my favorite. However, I have always disliked the steering handling. Too soft to oversteer.
@terminator689 The old Corolla models were more durable. Toyota, as of recently, has downgraded the quality of materials, something that people like me pay attention to. And this one is in a tough market too.
I used to have a '96 Corolla DX
where is the KBB girl??? she was very nice to look at and I enjoyed her goofy outfits.
I just literally bought a new Focus 50 minutes ago and I'm glad I did!
So, how did that focus end up treating you?
Just bought this last Monday and I kinda get what they meant by "disconnected" driving experience with this new electric steering..Ehh, something I just have to get used to..
@jwatwater The steering wheel should be in a car of much better performance.
god the interior of the cruze looks so much better than the corolla
you'd expect toyota to step the transmission up to at least 5 speed auto considering my 03 4runner has a 4 speed..
but i guess not.
@mikeeaeeee All because the Crapolla is the most sold, doesn't mean it's the best compact car.
I really like this car.
New Focus, Elantra, Mazda3, Cruze, Civic > Corolla in terms of quality. But Corolla is economical I guess.
@TorontoBoi sorry do you have any toyotas because i do i have right now a brand new corolla top spec and the quality is very poor and of course they dont break down because they are so simple (mechanical and technological) that it is impossible to break and they use suspension types from 30 or 40 years ago. And i ve had 3 hiluxes which all rolled over and toyota changed them in warranty because they came with an stability problem and this largest and most successful auto maker has had a lot
ive driven civics and corollas and the civic has poor road harshness dampering compared to corolla. the entune i tested at the dealership was alot of technology that just kept me messing with it as i drove. bluetooth audio streaming was a cool feaure
I'm currently looking at a white one 2011 Canadian built S model
The white ones are good looking cars. Mine is black on black and while any other time I've love that, I live on a dirt road. Oh well, it's a very good car I highly recommend.
That car doesn't deserve that steering wheel.
@eskil1u
You forgot to mention the steering is soo lacking in road feel and feels artificial. Feels like your not really driving but playing a video game.
i have a dodge charger but im thinkin of getting a corolla its cute n small :)
@saboobuu Combined #'s Corolla is better. Cruze ECO, Elantra, and Focus have the highest highway mpg's according to the EPA (who are liars).
it looks old school because it is clone of the mazda 6 but with drum breaks. also toyota needs to upgrade their 4speed.
why would anyone buy this over an elantra, cruise, focus, or civic?
@tonytsui96 Toyota put a 6 speed in the Camry over its achient 4 in 2009, it didnt raise the price 500 bucks.
whoa interior looks like the 2007 camry
@camilo94011500042 yes, the world's largest, most successful auto maker is "rubbish." This makes your comment total rubbish. The style is very bland, but it has excellent quality, reliability and fuel economy, perfect for families.
i dont like i dont know if its the lame reputation or just not exciting in any way.
@xoquixxoqafxo i disagree btw what do you drive?
this car may be boring, but is such a better value then anything GM could produce...their new Korean cruze(Daewoo Lacetti, fucking DAEWOO FFS) is a piece of trash.
Compare it to others like the Mazda 3, Chevy Cruze, Hyundai Elantra, and Honda Civic and they all manage better fuel economy than the Corolla. The Ford Focus is about on par with the Corolla but offers so many more features and is in my opinion, a much better looking car. One thing's for sure too, the Civic and Corolla have the cheapest, most bland interiors possible compared to most of the cars I mentioned above. Don't go off ranting about how the Corolla's the best before doing your research.
I'm averaging 34.1 mpg on my 2010 Toyota Corolla :D
not much else to it though lol
@xxslimjimtightxx Yep, they did!
جارنا معاه وحده
@mikeeaeeee I beg to differ. I admit the Civic is starting to decline in quality and execution,but it's still better than the outdated, bland, cheap Corolla even though I have my eyes on a Mazda 3.
@mikeeaeeee Thats just ignorant sheep logic and buying a car based on preceptions and what quality?It's fallacy. Toyota's new interiors are hard plastic and sloppily assembled and the exterior feels like it's made out of tin cans. Im a fan of older Toyotas and reliability of them has been proven but how are the new ones supposed to last when their built quality has declined? You can't have reliability without quality. At least with the Honda you can get both reliability and quality.
I would have one, but the only thing that keeps me from it is... THE 1980'S 4 SPEED AUTO!! I mean, Toyota has the ability to make 6-9 speeds, but they just wont.
Toyota makes the most reliable auto transmissions in the world....if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
i like the civc more its more comfortable
2012 civic please
Just get a honda civic si------ it has a VTEC------ thants more than enough incentive
or maybe a ford fusion
or hyundai sonata with a turbo?
u wont earn any respect with this car
well at least it is a step up...
sorry but the 2010's look A LOT BETTER!! Better Front! Better BACK tail Lights and Better Wheels =D.
Nice
I will take the Accent any time any day over this.........the design for the interior and the exterior are so outdated.
@lbryan250 lease deals are better on the corolla, at least when my parents bought one lol
Still prefer civic or mazda 3..
@TorontoBoi and i mean a lot of problems with their cars, not stupid problems like bmw or other brands that the maximum damage one would do was break down, problems that can kill someone like that the stuck accelerators and the cars that rolled over thats what i men with rubbish brand
Reliable, but bland. I'd prefer an Si or used Eclipse.
i totally have no idea why one would get this and not the civic...
Hondas have had engine failures as well as auto transmission failures. No thanks
@etoyotarockshsucks Around $19000, I got like the mid range one..
@LeastOfTheMajority
... ok?
Very nice!
Nice vehicle but this has nothing on the Mazda 3
elantra = sporty? LOOOL
