Toyota Corolla:

The Toyota Corolla is a series of compact cars manufactured and marketed globally by the Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corporation. Introduced in 1966, the Corolla has been the world's best-selling automobile nameplate of all time since 1997, when it surpassed the Volkswagen Beetle. Toyota reached the milestone of 50 million Corollas sold over twelve generations in 2021.
The name Corolla is part of Toyota's naming tradition of using names derived from the Toyota Crown for sedans, with "corolla" Latin for "small crown". The Corolla has always been exclusive in Japan to Toyota Corolla Store locations, and manufactured in Japan with a twin, called the Toyota Sprinter until 2000.

1.5 (103 Hp) 4WD CVT Verdict:

Rating 4 stars

Performance Verdict

Similar performance to the FWD 1.5 CVT, but the added weight and drivetrain losses from the 4WD system slightly reduce acceleration feel.

Fuel Economy

Good fuel economy, though marginally less efficient than its FWD counterpart due to the 4WD system's parasitic losses.

Best Use Case: Mixed (All-weather capability)

Imo yes as long as it's straight with no crashes.
👍 POSITIVE
If you just need a daily driver then yes good deal. I had a 2017 Corolla as well and the only issue with it was tires went bad quickly on it. But that's more to do with local roads and I took that car places a Corolla shouldn't go lol
👍 POSITIVE
Good deal make my mom has a 2018 and with no issues. Basic boring commuter car that is cheap to maintain. Just make sure no accidents clean title and no ode-meter roll back
👍 POSITIVE
I drove one of these once when my car was in the shop after I got hit. It was kinda boring but a great car. I'd go for it if everything checks out maintenance-wise
😐 NEUTRAL
In this market, this look too good to be true.
👍 POSITIVE
That's a decent price. Corollas aren't a whole lot of fun but they are damn near indestructible. I've heard the newer ones are a lot more fun to drive though.
👍 POSITIVE
It does depends on what your looking for? If a reliable car and stable driving is what your looking for then yes. If you want performance luxury or design then no.
👍 POSITIVE
Good deal, get a great thorough inspection before buying and check for accident reports.
👍 POSITIVE
Very good. Sold my 2012 90k Miles Corolla for 12k to Carmax last year, crazy how fast prices changed.
👍 POSITIVE
Yeah, my next car from hyundai will prob be a Toyota. My ex put 130k trouble free miles on her 2013 prius Only thing I had to do was replace the silicone sealant on rear tail lights (sun eroded it) and swap out a side mirror from vandalism breakage
