2015 Toyota Corolla - Redline: Review

[@artifactman660]

I don't understand why people try to dog this car for prefomace, it wasn't made for prefomace it was made for mileage and reliability.

[@jordanadams7168]

I drove one of these as a rental, they ride very good

[@MyerShift7]

Unfortunately, the S is stiffer, but feels more awkward driving to boot. I added the rear TRD sway bar and the 10th Gen TRD strut tower bar to my 2016 S. Made it feel much better and strangely, a bit more comfortable. It now feels like I feel it should have stock. I'm considering the TRD springs!

[@damiansantos2764]

Boy o boy people need to realize that the number one selling car in the world is not a dam racing car the corrolla is a basic trouble free reliable car.if people want a fun fast car buy a sport car

[@calicpfoh3400]

I buy corollas and civics because I just want a reliable car. I'm not really into cars so I don't care.

[@Eeaotc02]

You know that the Mazda 3 is also reliable and in my honest opinion it's actually better than these two cars in terms of variety.

I found the road noise to be horrific. Every other car in the class I drove was better.

Brought my first car today and it’s the Toyota Corolla 2015. Happy with my choice.

[@coulsonkyser9757]

I have watched a ton of reviews on this car saying it’s supper sluggish and the handling around corners is awful. Is that true?

[@mr.boostang2064]

@@coulsonkyser9757 I have a 2016 Corolla S, from a dead stop it's really slow thanks to its low torque but once it gets moving its decently quick and makes good use of the available 132hp. 0-60 comes in at exactly 9sec but the car feels very zippy and lively especially in sport mode which gives you 7 programmed "gears" and stiffens up the steering wheel. The Corolla S also has a "sports tuned" suspension which I further enchanced by installing GMAX RS performance summer tires, taking sharp turns is no problem and although it does have body roll it still stays planted around quick turns, just dont expect Lotus Elise like handling lol.

About time they make new design of interior. Looks so classy now.

[@KenniTheKid]

Glad to see you're now comparing interior quality relative to industry competitors instead of just slamming it for not matching up to the stuff you would see in a Mercedes. That's a great improvement in your budget car reviews. Afew requests though, in future reviews could you talk about the radio sound quality and some highway passing impressions? Thanks for the review.

I like the styling of this Corolla a lot. One of my co-workers bought one earlier this year & she likes it so far. The legroom is surprisingly roomy for a small car & is a lot better than my 2006 Corolla S was which is the main reason why I sold it. I'm 6ft & I have plenty of room inside of this car, but went with a Camry instead cause the Corolla isn't powerful enough & I have the V6. I wish Toyota went with a 6-speed auto instead of the CVT. Thank god they didn't with the Camry!

I'm very surprised you didn't beat on it that much, as a Corolla owner, even I beat on it sometimes because of the lack of some features and the slowness off the line of the CVT. Great review Sofyan!

[@alexanderalonso5452]

If you want a reliable, comfortable, and affordable car then buy a corolla. If you're looking for anything else then buy a different car.

[@Nexccelerator]

Excellent review Sofyan (+Redline Reviews). I had the 2014 model of this generation Corolla as a rental car a long time ago, and I'll admit, the S trim with the CVT transmission drove very well and handled the roads like a champ. - Michael

[@KevLEXodus]

If anything, id just get the S. That model actually looks really good. It looks a lot more like a natural sport sedan.

[@oldtwins]

I just rented a '15 non-valvematic LE model for a week. Overall it's a decent commuter car. Pretty quiet for a cheap car, with little wind or road noise and no rattles. Engine drone is quite high when pushing it. The car is very sluggish off the line even for economy car standards. The engine ramps up once it gets past 30 or so and more in-line with a regular economy car at that point in terms of acceleration. I couldn't even get the tires to chirp no matter how hard I tried.I am curious how much better the valvematic engine is in real-world MPG and power. This is actually quite a sophisticated setup they have so the arguments of using old tech isn't really true with the model in question. Overall, a good commuter car for someone who needs to do a lot of highway miles per day going to work. Doesn't have the extra upfront costs of a hybrid yet still runs economically and is a quiet comfortable ride. No question this car will do 300k miles without any major issues. BUT, I would recommend people not buy this car new. I would recommend buying a certified used one from Toyota. There are tons of them out of due to the sheer number of these vehicles rotating through fleets. You will save a lot off the deprecation hit.

[@GohanBurner]

I've driven IS300's since 2013. I went to Boston with my wife and this was a rental vehicle. I loved it. 40+ MPG and a nice sound system? Getting older...I just want something comfortable that won't cost me so much on gas.

[@maxburgess7040]

Funny in the backup camera you can see the plate, never seen that before

[@ctsfiddler]

my wife has a 2001 Corolla. Excellent car, just runs and runs. Change the oil and it's still looking clean with the high mileage. For me, I went with an iA. Fun to drive, great handling, brakes and decent power, and with a real 6 speed automatic (no cvt). Loaded with features at a great price. Drawback may be back seat room.

[@daslurpjuice596]

I have been test-driving cars lately. Logic tells me a 45 year old should go to a mid-size sedan from my Sentra, right? I have driven Fusion, Altima, Sonata, Malibu, Mazda6, Accord, Optima, and Camry. I also drove the Civic, Elantra, Forte, and while I was at the Toyota dealership, I decided to drive the Corolla. I can't stand CVT's, but this is a very good CVT. I didn't even realize I was driving one until about halfway through the test. Something happened during this test drive that didn't happen with ANY of the others- I SMILED... Why? The best answer I can come up with is that this car is everything it is supposed to be. I enjoyed driving this car. It was comfortable, stylish, roomy, and obviously comes with good mpg and that Toyota reliability. It's just hard to justify paying so much more for a comparably equipped mid-size. I still have to test-drive VW. I haven't ruled out the Fusion. But it won't surprise me if I end up being a 45 year old owner of a Toyota Corolla.

You have to buy a Toyota Corolla. Do not buy a American car. You will have a bunch of problems. Japanese is the best. 👈

I agree. I have the 2015 LE Eco metallic grey/ tinted windows and it's a kool car. I really Love my car

Even toyotas in america are full of problems because they are being assembled in shitty american plants by stoned workers! Poor workmanship shows all over the places. Wanna get the finest toyota in USA? Go for the lexus or avalon, those are assembled in Japan (ES has a plant in USA so check and specifically ask for the made in japan one in case of that particular model).

[@MyerShift7]

Except the popping/groaning front end, these are very good. 2016 owner here with nearly 227K miles from new. Fantastic cars. Style-wise, I feel the 11th Gen cars are peak sedan styling for the model. I preferred the driving spirit and more solid and tight build quality of my 9th Gen 5-speed CE though. I call those peak Corolla overall because they are the peak build and engineering point for a still simple car without the extra electrics (infotainment). Just an opinion from someone that's been able to experience GM J's and same era Chrysler K's, 90's GM W-body and Chrysler Cloud Cars, VW MKV Golf, 8th Gen Civic Si. It's good to have diversified real-life experience to have a better tempered opinion. Cheers!

[@viyau]

It definately has improved. Well, I am looking for a car that is updated, which this is, and has good quality and cheap to run. Ive had high maintenance cars and Im tired of the quirks . This car may fit the bill and I may get a second hand one. Civics are hard to find sometimes and there are a lot more of these around it seems which is fine for me.

[@kingjer125]

Honestly it is a really nice car, the features are advanced (Touch screen radio), it allows you to drive in a eco mode depending on how you step on the pedal (usually by keeping the rpm at around 2) which saves you a lot of gas. I am constantly driving to and from work and school and I can go anywhere from one to two weeks of driving on a full tank. It is a really good choice! Also as a added bonus the safety rating on corollas is no joke. My 2014 before this was totaled in a bad accident due to a careless driver and I had no major injuries since the cars frame is designed to spread the energy from the impact so its definitely a good choice car for the family.
