What Camerons Car Reviews has to say about the 2013 Corolla: The Corolla, the number one selling car worldwide, and one of the most boring cars you can buy according to us automotive enthusiasts. Now Toyota knows that people are going to buy the Corolla no matter how many features it lacks and no matter how far it is behind the times, simply because of the reputation that Toyota has built over the years. However there is one thing, many competitors have now matched the Corollas reliability if not it's better. Power in the Corolla comes from a reliable 1.8 L 4-Cylinder made into a stone age 4-Speed Automatic or a 5-Speed Manual. Trims range from the base L to the top of the line LE or go with a Sport S trim. The Corolla lacks to even offer a backup camera, which some compact cars offer is pretty much standard like the Honda Civic. The interior is more functional than stylish and there is simple to use climate controls, the interior also has hard plastics in almost every single place. The Corolla used to be one of the top choices and we are very surprised Toyota hasn't full redesigned this car pretty much since 2003. However, all of this doesn't mean the Corolla is a bad car, right now you can get the Corolla for pretty cheap with all of the rebates that Toyota is offering with the cars also we really like the ride and the seats in the car. We highly recommend to choose something else than the Corolla for the 2013 model year. however if your a Toyota loyalist and you always bought Corollas than this car won't disappoint.

Sheesh you people are some haters.. it's a corolla, cheap, reliable, honest transportation. Quiet, comfy, and gets the job done without major upkeep, and expense.

[@rayemanuel7460]

It is now 2020. I have this exact same car with 112,000 miles on it. Been an incredibly reliable car all these years, has never had a single problem. Will probably last me another 12 years.

[@andrew7650]

Is your 2013 Corolla still going wrong? How many miles do you got on it now?

[@ryansolisdrummer]

It will probably last longer then another 12 years tbh Toyotas go foreverrrrr!!! I love them

[@rayemanuel7460]

@@andrew7650 now at 150K miles and still trouble free.

[@lorispenclor4406]

Most importantly is Toyota outstanding quality and reputation. That engine will last. I am a huge supporter for Toyota and Honda and have been a customer for years.

[@phillipjames453]

It's not meant to be powerful. It's meant to be reliable and that's powerful to me.

[@TheCRTman]

That's deep... and that's why i own one lol

[@Hart_Daniel]

I like that you give it a second before you actually start the car, i do the same thing. Honestly, i think that you critique this car as if it should be a luxury compact, which it is not. Nor is it advertised to be. The most important thing to someone who is buying on of these, such as myself, is that they have the security of knowing it will start everytime they turn the key.

[@j14holland]

I just got mine yesterday i got say its fun to drive

[@cindyaraya7317]

I LOVE my 2013 Toyota Corolla LE that I got last year! Even my friend likes it better than her 2016 Toyota Corolla!

[@thinker8323]

If you think a Ford Focus and a Chevy Cruze have better engines than a Corolla just because it has more than 4 gears, you must be smoking too much 420.

[@josephedwards8992]

Shit this man probably has never dealt with a cvt I have a 2013 Corolla and loved it even more once I found out there was no cvt I’d take a 90 Honda or Toyota before any new Ford or Chevy

[@tinawilson3693]

I just bought a 2013 yesterday 1 owner & only has 20k miles on it! Im looking forward to DEPENDABILITY!! I have had a 2016 Cruze for the last 5 years..bought brand new ...71150 miles now & needs a new motor! I still owe $7700 on that car...so yeah..although Im replacing it with a car thats 3 years older...I feel like I made a great choice in the 2013 Corolla!!

[@andrew7650]

@@tinawilson3693 How do you like your new 2013 Corolla? I just found a 2013 Corolla for $10k with 34k miles on it. 3 owners and 1 accident reported. What’s your intake on that deal?

[@eskrimakravmaga8536]

Ive seen some car review vids on youtube and this guy is just saying it like it is. Shows you everything, he gives his honest opinion, doesnt sugar coat it. Definitely will buy a car from a guy like this.

[@asukasoryu69]

Lol somebody stole the shift knob.

[@eeeddddddiiieee]

It's a good first car. Just a simple car with toyota reliability.

who is this guy? Salesman for Honda?

Are you trying to sell this car or trash talk it?

Just got one yesterday and runs like new!

this is guy doesn't know anything about toyota history apparently, do your research before you criticize Toyota happened to know Toyota is the number one car in the world not just that USA

[@safyannawaz3596]

every thing is goog in this corolla without staring but quite active car

[@redneon06]

I have a 98 LE. I drove just over 1000 Miles from Ct to Ga on about $100, so it's good on gas. I like that the car is simple, mine is pretty fun to drive on country roads. My dislike is the cup holder.

[@ramoncueva8935]

So cool

[@adilsalim9889]

BEUTIFUL CAR

[@edw5208]

Here we are 2021 and mine is still solid. 70g

[@MrCarlsson86]

I just purchased one with )% interest. Love it. It's right for the money. Sure the civic, sentra, focus; they all look better. newer technology too. but I'm looking for a reliable, good on gas car. I drive a lot. Plastic doesn't bother me at all. I think it's really easy to clean. Corolla is very easy to maintain. Unlike Focus or Hyundai or Jetta. Can't wait to switch to the next gen with better gas mileage.

[@MrYCROCKER19]

I have a 09 corolla Le and is pretty much identical to this one besides the volume control on the steering wheel and touch screen. I love it, my only complaint is its not very powerful though.

[@CameronsCarReviews]

Yes we agree 100%. We feel as if Toyota has something more special coming in the next generation Corolla. This corolla has been on the same platforn since 03' so we feel that a Corolla from 10 years ago isn't even that much better than the Corolla now.

[@CameronsCarReviews]

They are okay, not the speakers that you would want to show off to your friends. This car is pretty comfortable on long trips

[@MrCarlsson86]

I couldnt get 0.9%. I'm just a student working part time here and there. Monthly payment is my biggest concern. I cant afford monthly payment for civic. plus, insurance for civic is higher than corolla. I just found out that Corolla is one of the cheapest cars to own. Civic is surprisingly not one of them. When I have a decent job, I will get an Accord or Camry. Depending on which has the best deal. But for now, Corolla is the best deal for me. Also I only opted either Toyota or Honda.

[@Daystar311]

I just bought this car, but for me, boring is okay. I was hoping you'd focus your video on each feature so I could've seen them a bit slower, more detailed. You spoke of, but didn't really show some of the steering wheel and other features very clearly. Sorry, but being a senior citizen, my brain doesn't run on high speed, like you young folks! Thank you for your time, however. I do like the car for my needs.

[@MrCarlsson86]

I bought a 2013 Corolla LE for 17,900 + tax and title at 0%. If I could afford the payment for Civic, I would definitely get the civic. Actually, I like the functionality of Corolla's interior better than Civic. It's more for a long commuter which I am (700 miles weekly). Civic is for shorter commuter with better acceleration and sportier.

[@meltedjabulani19]

Ok that's good to know. Thanks for the help. Any bad things about the car I should know?

[@daniel101232]

what happened to the shift knob?

[@KhrissyDaDon]

By any chance can you do a Toyota FJ Cruiser?!? And btw I was shocked to see the face that's behind the camera lol

[@MrCarlsson86]

I just got one. the speakers are not as good as those in Sentra. BUT it's really not bad. I consider it very good. 7.5 out of 10. Plus it has bluetooth music connection. so no USB cable required. The S definitely looks better. I suggest to get the S if you or your parents can afford it. FYI the S doesn't have the back pocket behind front passenger seat which may or may not important to you.

[@asrockrpg]

Toyota Corolla is also known as Toyota Corolla Axio in Japan, while in Southeast Asia, Pakistan, India, & Taiwan as Toyota Corolla Altis, & in China as Toyota Corolla EX, & BYD L3.

[@KIRRRRU19]

Any reason why the Toyota Fortuner isn't available in the USA? It's effin amazing.

[@good2008boy20]

Can you do one for Toyota Fortuner?

[@naruto90123]

I have the 9th generation 04 model and literally nothing had changed haha

[@LostintheVoid11]

Currently driving an '08 Cobalt, that still runs like new, I just wanna upgrade to something more recent. My first impression on the inside of the Corolla was: ''It's almost an exact replica of my Cobalt, minus the touch screen.'' 5 years apart, I'd have expected something more... or is Toyota keeping their ''goodies'' for the next Generation? I want a car that's top-notch on the reliability scale, but it's Outdated blandness leaves a lot to be desired compared to the other 2013 commuter cars.

[@TheRam010]

I just noticed, you say this vehicle has a beige cloth interior at 00:40, but it's actually gray. Lol.

[@kmerkingdomfilms]

I help my brother bought one @ 0% interest with $0 down for 60 months. We like it especially, good gas mileage. My little brother also, a long commuter. I'm a Toyota fan my self. I've own my Toyota T 100 pickup for 18 + year and it has never break down on me. My older brother also own a Toyota pickup. His had 1,080,000 miles and still run great. I just did an engine overhaul for him. We're expecting another million miles on it.

[@trini_boi2414]

Hate all you want but the Corolla is Toyota bread and butter they're selling like hot cakes for a car that most ppl think is boring I'm looking to get one myself. .

[@876r876rf]

Go get some plastic spinners for your Focus and talk to me in 250,000 miles

[@NatureTab]

Is the LCD different from the other corollas with navigation?

[@jo12t]

Do you have to say it's a good commuter car do you?

[@CameronsCarReviews]

Yes I would suggest on waiting for the next generation Corolla, it will be way better than this current generation.

[@surajgulrajani7367]

this is goling to my 1st car? Im looking for an honest answer, is the s better than the le and are the speakers good enough for my ipod to play music through it

[@CameronsCarReviews]

Well actually it should offer a backup camera becuase all of the other compact cars offer it in this segment

[@Acekiller29]

is the car's interior quiet when going at high speeds

[@meltedjabulani19]

How good are the speakers ?

[@meltedjabulani19]

Are they decent? Also is this car good on long trips ?

[@asrockrpg]

Camerons Car Reviews Is it optional for this car to have a Rear Backup Camera with Guidance Lines and Parking Sensor?

[@CameronsCarReviews]

nope

[@asrockrpg]

Camerons Car Reviews Please do review & startup the 2014 model of this Toyota Corolla. Thanx! Toyota Corolla is now equipped with a choice of a 6-Speed Manual Transmission or a CVT Automatic Transmission with Manual Shift Ability.

[@IkechukwuIheanacho143]

How much is this car. Can you ship it down to nigeria

[@orasis]

Is that little stick thing really the shifter or did you unscrew part of it?

[@bmajorscale]

Yes, the gear shifter knob is missing.

[@turciosadony]

Is it worth getting a 2013 Toyota Corolla le with 135k miles on it?

[@davreca]

Does that touch screen offer gps?

[@CameronsCarReviews]

That there is better choices and the only thing really good going for it is it's bulletproof reputation for having superb reliability.

so the 2003-2013 have the same look.

I hope you got the Toyota lol

Review kinda like saabkyle04

[@sargentd9226]

Got to love these reviews done by kids who know absolute dogshit about what they are reviewing.

[@CameronsCarReviews]

Well I would go with the 2014 Corolla personally much better improvement and check out my review on that one but a 2013 Corolla or a VW Passat? I would most certainly go with the VW Passat however the Corolla is in the compact class and the Passat is in the midsized so the Corolla really competes with the Jetta and I would take a Jetta over a 2013 Corolla but not a 2014. If your looking for better driver dynamics both of the VW's are better however if reliability is a factor the Corolla for sure

[@AndrewSeymour78]

Camerons Car Reviews toyota is great chev and dodge suck balls
