I have a 2012 Toyota Corolla and have had it for 10 years. I bought it used with 13,000 miles. I now currently have 173,000 miles with no major mechanical issues, Only 2 things I have had to fix. Alternator and a bad AC Compressor. I have no plans of getting rid of it. I change the oil every 5000 miles. If you go beyond 5000 mile oil change it will burn oil.

They are super reliable, which is for sure. The only negative drawback is safety. Better balance of safety and reliability is a Volvo, but be careful what year and what model. We have a 2010 xc90 SUV with 228,000 Mi and it still runs like new. It's powerful. Gets decent mileage. No one has ever been killed in a Volvo XC90 since it was introduced in 2002. I started being more cautious about the kind of cars I would drive and my children would drive after my son overturned his Toyota Solara and wound up with the brain injury, what he was very lucky to survive. A week before, he was driving a Volvo Wagon. Unfortunately, the timing belt broke, so he was driving a Toyota. It was a great car but not protective, not nearly as protective as the Volvo would have been.
Great stuff my Friend. I own a 2004 accord V6 258k and a 96 Tacoma 195k both in good shape drive well, but I believe it maintenance. And common sense. Take care of your mechanic and they will take care of you. Thank you.
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.
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.
Yoda put the rear seat releases in the trunk so that when you give your concierge key to the valet, some bad guy can’t get into the trunk to steal you valuables.
Not being able to access the trunk from the inside is a requirement in some states when transporting firearms in the trunk. In those states that have this requirement if you are able to gain access into the trunk from the inside of the car you must have the firearms in an additional locked container or they must have a trigger lock or cable lock on the gun, but if your car is like this Corolla where you can only gain access to the trunk from the outside of the car you can simply have the firearm in your shooting range bag in the trunk and there's no need for adding a trigger lock or having the firearm in a locked case.
@@OldeCarrGuy I'm not sure the reasoning behind these types of gun laws, but I can imagine it might be because a child or unauthorized person riding in the rear seat could in theory gain access to the firearm in the trunk if the person driving the car wasn't paying attention to what was going on in the back seat. That's something that simply cannot happen in this Corolla because you cannot gain access to the trunk from inside the car's back seat.
I sold my 2010 Corolla at 168k miles. With regular servicing it was always trouble free. My only issue was that is was fuel mileage at highway speeds is not real good. Because of the 4spd it was turning around 3000 rpms once you got over 70"ish mph. Mileage would drop to high 20's at that speed. My 2016 Camry gets about 5mpg better at the same speed and is much more comfortable. For local driving, the Corolla was great. For highway trips, not so much.
@@OldeCarrGuy fair enough. Also, my 07 Corolla I bought used had the TCC code pop up a few times. I did a drain and flus 3 times within a few months of each other, the fluid was obviously never changed before I got it with 96k miles. The code would randomly pop up every now and then. Finally I pulled the pan, sprayed down the valve body, changed the filter and so far it hasn't come back in 6 months. fingers crossed, because I talked to a transmission specialist and the bushing on the input shaft that the torque converter rides on can get worn and spin in place causing converter slippage code.
I am 5’ 10” and I have found the Corolla to be cramped when it comes to leg room. I felt more comfortable in a Yaris than a Corolla. Jason, any thoughts or words of wisdom on Honda? Interested in hearing what you think. Thanks. God Bless. Be safe…
