Bought new, Owned for 3 Years
Fuel Economy: 11.0 km/litre (9.1 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
Shines in urban environments, delivering a smooth and efficient ride.
Blind Spot Monitoring: Really helps us negotiate lane-changing much better
Sport Mode at Junctions: If you crave a bit more pep, switch to Sport Mode for a noticeable boost in acceleration.
Informative Driver UI: The Corolla's user interface makes it si to easy to track fuel consumption and other important vehicle data.
Confident control thanks to the its precise handling on 17" Primacy tires, ensuring a predictable driving experience.
Tire Note: While generally comfortable, keep in mind that the 17" tires can feel slightly harsh on particularly rough roads.
This car a good car for a young person to use intra-city, since it's a bit low and you need to get in-and-out frequently when running errands. Also good for the very occasional OOT trips.
CVT Adjustment: As my first experience with a CVT, I'm finding the drone-like sound a bit unpleasant.
Battery Life: I had to replace the battery within the first year, which was unexpected.
Low Ride Height: If you have back issues, getting in and out might be challenging due to the Corolla's low ground clearance.
Smartphone Connectivity: Using Waze or Apple Maps requires a wired connection, which isn't convenient
To improve
Lane-Keeping Assist Refinement: The Lane-Keeping Assist system needs refinement for smoother and more confident lane centering.
Wireless CarPlay Integration: Wireless CarPlay would enhance convenience and eliminate the annoying wire.
Hands-Free Driving Timeout Adjustment: Hands-free driving in traffic is effective, but the current 10-second timeout before disengaging is too short. Extending this to 20 seconds would improve its usability in stop-and-go situations.
Yes, I would recommend this car
