Is The 10th Gen Toyota Corolla The Ultimate Used Car Choice?

[@ralvolvi7668]

I picked a 2011 off the lot when I was 5 with my dad, now its my car that I drive now. That things basically lived life with me

[@backyard_expert]

@@Fljeff7 Minor repair comparatively to the mileage. I was thinking to replace my Corolla with a Volvo S70 because I owned an 850 but the Corolla has yet to leave me stranded unlike the 850 that blew the heater core and ruined the engine. And I traveled far and wide in the Corolla in searing 105 degree heatwaves for hours without an issue. Problem with my Corolla is the paint fell off from being baked in the sun. Maybe I will just repaint it.

[@captainr8413]

I brought mine brand new in 2010, 2010 model , up till today there is no problem. I only change tires and once change the alternator.

I have a 2012. And im 5foot 7. And i have my seat almost to the back. And it rides so smooth.

My daughter's first car is a 2011 she got 6 months ago with 75,000 miles. Unfortunately we live in Maine so the body will rust out long before the drivetrain dies. Her's gets over 30 mpg city. I drive a 2001 Corolla with a 1.8, 5 speedI gets around 44 mpg highway.

[@brentkiely657]

make sure you get the oily spray rust proofing done to your vehicles

[@harvestblades]

As someone else said I woukd be diligent about even paying for a car wash when you can in the Winter/Spri g & wash the undercarriage as well as pay for & maintain rustproofing. I'm a Mopar (Dodge, Jeep) guy....and now Toyota and Toyota is just as bad or worse when it comes rust. For that dependable of a vehicle that if cared for will get 300k+ miles I think rustproof g is worth it & what I am going to do on mine right after I take care of the existing rust on the '08 I just bought. Winter is coming & I've seen how quickly a little rust can really turn into a whole lot.

[@19999927]

Steel wheels are better and less maintence., so they are a plus, the alloys leak and sometimes the wheel nuts will work loose. I got rid of the alloys on my prius for those two reasons.

[@glennnickerson8438]

Corolla is a good choice--just a little small for a 6 ft driver... Might have to do like Bubba Smith did in Police Academy--tear out the front bucket seats and drive from the back seat!😆

The 10th gen Rolla engine and transmission are solid.. however, you will replace everything accessory to the engine, alternator, water pump, radiator, ac compressor, ac condenser, axels, wheel bearings, temperature dial cables.. the list continues.. but my little commute car is rocking 200,000 thousand miles and gets 36 mpg

The car is amazingly well perserved especially for basically a 20 year old car that spent its entire life in southern Ohio. The Car Fax report has 39 service records all performed at the Toyota dealership where it was bought. This car is one of those amazing one owner cars that you always hear about but rarely ever see. I think it is going to make an awesome first car for our son. Hopefully, it will last him through high school and college. I told him that as long as he keeps up the regular maintence this car could potentially run for over 300,000.
