2025 Toyota Corolla Consumer Reviews

Good value, but uncomfortable seats
Last car was Toyota built (Scion xA), and I loved it. My mechanic’s top pick brand was Toyota. So, I chose a Toyota Corolla LE. Sufficient technology, touchscreen options are easy to navigate. Nice features like auto setting for headlights. Lacks variable speeds for intermittent wipers, and I miss having a rear window wiper. Excellent visibility. Sound system is basic, no equalizer. Sufficient trunk space. CVT transmission shifts smoothly. The surprise, after my super comfortable Scion xA (which was that line’s least expensive car, and one of the least expensive cars on the market at the time), is that the seats are so uncomfortable. If you’re heavyweight, slump when you’re sitting, and sit with your back rounded, you’ll probably be perfectly happy. I’m light (130 lbs), sit with good posture, and there is zero lumbar support with these seats. After just a 30 minute drive, my back was aching and I had to go in search of a comfortable lumbar support cushion. Is it a great car? No. Is it a good value in today’s market? Yes.

bad computer
I bought a new Corrolla Hybrid, January 2023, Had computer issues rite away! Would shut down and say"Computer stopped check manual" I went through the Lemon Law and lost, because the Toyota expert said that the car was working as desighned! The Lemon Law lady only knew how to turn on a car so she ruled in Toyota's favor! I was'nt going to live with a car with computer problems so I traded it and $2k for a gas Corrolla! In the first rain storm, the car encountered, the computer would shut off and say "system stopped" every 5 seconds! While not working neither the cruise control nor the lane departure would work! Toyota builds a CRAP TRAP!

Great little car!
We decided not to get another small SUV and went with this Corolla Le with the convenience package so we could have push button start, blind spot, alloy wheels and a few other conveniences. Drive is nice and smooth. Perfect since 80 percent of my driving is solo and running errands…this really is a perfect supplement to our family. All 4 fit and easy to drive. Safe and great on gas. We had a small SUV but in 99% of time I’m not driving in snow or hauling stuff so truly this is the best bang for my buck at this time and makes the most sense. Paid MSRP and so far pleased with the simplicity, safety and gas mileage of this car. Great for the teens to drive as well. This car should last forever with Toyota reliability and safety.

Unhappy
I just got my 2023 Corolla the end of June 2023. I had a 2020 for a little over 2 years before getting into a wreck last year. It was totaled. I had been driving a friend’s car up until June. Halfway home I thought I heard rattling. I thought it was all in my head. The next morning, on the way to work I hear it again. I went that same weekend and spent about 4 hours. They thought the problem was fixed. It was not. Still rattles. They told me I have to drop it off before work so they could try to pinpoint the problem. Very frustrating because I don’t want to spend my weekends at the dealership. It was a brand new car that came with 12 miles on it. Not only that, but the system in the car has been buffering. The screen will go black for a few seconds and come back up. I haven’t taken a road trip as yet, but this buffering can make the difference between missing an exit. I wanna scream. I also don’t want the dealership playing Mr. Potato Head on my vehicle. Unfortunately purchasing a car is not like buying a pair of jeans. I do not want to be paying for a brand new car that seems to be having used car problems. I miss my 2020 Corolla..also the deal I was able to get on my old car. I’m not satisfied and no options I until I can trade it in (crying inside)
