I'm only 2 weeks into ownership of a Corolla LE Hybrid. We don't need all the fancy stuff for a car that we figured would be our daily driver. Having said that I don't really miss some of the upmarket features. Certainly power seats are nice, but I can get enough adjustment with the manual seat just fine. I am 5'11", 240 lbs and my wife is 5'4" and we both find very comfortable seating positions. Again haven't taken the car on any long trips, but I have had quite a bit of seat time waiting on my wife during her shopping outings and I haven't been uncomfortable. Ingress and egress is not that difficult either for an old guy with stiff joints. It doesn't sit up quite like my Outback but it shouldn't, so this is not a comparison. Bottom line it's a class leader in the comfort department. It is a bit noisy as road noise intrudes a bit more than I'm used to in Toyota's and I've owned several, but I attribute that to the tires more than anything - Yokohama LRR's. The doors shut with a good quality sounding thud. The fit and finish is first rate and I am extremely picky. I have found nothing to fault. One thing to note is we didn't have an opportunity to see an actual car before we ordered ours. The Toyota website does not have good pictures of the interiors of the Corolla, especially the light gray interior, which ours has. It shows the seats in two tone which is accurate, it does not show that the bottom half of the dash and the upper doors are trimmed in light gray. We are very pleased with the interior, but to see what the interior actually looks like, click on the Macadamia color and you will see how the light gray interior will truly look, except of course for the color. The back seat has enough room for me to sit behind the driver's seat adjusted for me,although we don't usually have anyone in the back seat. The back seat folds down to give even more cargo room to the very spacious trunk. Now about the driving experience. I read reviews before we bought about how the car is slow. My driving has been a combination of city, rural and four lane roads so I have a good idea how the car performs all around. It is quick off the line, surprisingly quick - not Mustang GT quick but more than 138 horsepower quick. Now admittedly it starts lacking juice around 45-50, but the electric motor assist keeps the acceleration going up to highway speeds. Understand that my car is not fully broken in, so I have not really put my foot in it so it's performance has not been fully tested for maximum thrust but it definitely gets out of it's own way. What we all want to know is what kind of mileage do I get. I didn't drive it today, but yesterday it indicated 55.0mpg combination city/highway. I've had it 2 weeks and 500 miles and just filled it up from 1/4 tank. So judge for yourself. The wireless Android Auto works very well. There are times that it won't automatically connect, but that's usually because I have interrupted the pairing process. Sometime when you put it in gear before the pairing is completed - especially reverse, I think there is just too much going on with the backup camera, etc, and pairing gets pushed out of the queue. But it has never failed to connect manually. Once connected it has never dropped and I use Maps, Waze, Amazon Music or Spotify every time I'm in the car. Don't really know much else to say about our little blue bug except my wife and I really like it. This is not the first hybrid we've owned, but things sure have changed since 2015 - all for the better. We've always had good luck with Toyota and Joe Davis at Mechanicsville Toyota served us well. I'll update when we get some more time and mileage on the car.

I am going to give you the "No Nonsense" review on this vehicle. This is my forth Hybrid....Previously had 2013 Avalon Hybrid - Good....2015 Lexus ES300H Hybrid - Good....2019 Accord Hybrid- Also good.....When I say good I am talking about the fuel milage....When it comes to the 2023 Corolla the fuel milage is off the charts FANTASTIC! I have not dropped below 50 MPG since I started driving this car....Now I have to say I am a very conservative driver and that has a lot to do with it......I am going to gove you the true pros and cons of this vehicle...... First of all, If you are looking for something exciting to drive this is not the car for you. If you want a reliable fuel efficient car this is it. PRO'S Comfortable when you are in it. Getting in and out is somewhat challenging but better than expected as I am a big guy, 5'11" 245lb. The fuel milage is excellent as I said before. I have the LE model (Base Model) so not too many extras. It rides pretty good for a compact car. The sound system is decent. It's crisp but can use a little more strength. CON'S Not a speed demon and engine when getting on highway is a bit loud but thats to be expected. The base model comes with wheel covers, not rims which may not matter to some people but I hate that! However, I purchased this vehicle as a commuter car so I'll live with it. The LE model also has an ignition key! When was the last time you seen that?? They could have sprung for the push button on the LE model but thats just my opinion. The upgraded trims have rims and push button start if you want to spend the $3500 option. All in all if you are looking for a greatr car that does not break the bank this is the car for you

1) The car gets approx 50+ MPG 2) Handles very nice. Love the rack and pinion-like turning ability 3) The defensive electronics are very nice, the cruise adapter is a pleasure to use 4) On long trips, the seating seems uncomfortable on our backs, that might be us only 5) On the highway, the noise level is not ideal, but i can't expect it for the price of this wonderful car 6) And i do wish the free maintenance was a year longer then 2yrs. The price to get extended warranties was complicated, and rather expensive, i thought. 7) Excellent car though, and the interior is well thought out.

Purchased a LE edition. Surprised to see that the car had Toyota plastic weather mats, comparable to the weather tecks i ordered for the car. They were returned, 409$ canadian saving. I also have a 2021 kona ev. The Toyota is much more roomier on all fronts. Awd for us Canadians. Hybrid make more sense than only electric in cold weather. Trust me on that one. Nice reliable car.
