  1. Toyota doesn't want to change its engine because it is so reliable and so the Corolla has always been underpowered
    131
  2. Where's the Toyota Camry on the list of longest lasting cars? The Camry is the most reliable sedan and has been the most popular selling car in the USA since 1997
    85
  3. 2016 was when the Civic was redesigned which is why you shouldn't buy when it's first redesigned
    77
  4. On modern cars, if you leave the headlights on, they will automatically turn off after a short time parking. Also, make sure to close doors/trunk and lock your car, so that the car's computer knows to turn all the lights and electronics off.
    76
  5. I saw a new Chevy commercial where they say "I switched to Chevy for dependability" Ya right, Chevy's are not reliable
    44
  6. Nissan has the most unreliable CVT
    40
  7. The Corolla is economical, safe, reliable, roomy and inexpensive. It is the only car to have safety features standard on all trim levels. It also has the brightest headlights. Negatives is that has the slowest engine in the compact segment and handling is not good. Also, it doesn't have Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

  8. The Korean automakers Hyundai & KIa are not as good quality or as reliable as Toyota. However, they offer some features that Toyota doesn't. Toyota has been slow to adopt new technology. They were late in the game with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay while other automakers had already offered it. Also, some don't like Toyota is charging a subscription to use features like Remote Start
    16
  9. It's unfortunate that these dealerships or salesman are scamming people. Buying a new car is one of the most hated things people do.
    16
  10. The Korean automakers (Kia and Hyundai) are not built as well as the Japanese (Toyota & Honda)
    13
  11. Look at that, the top 4 brands are Chrysler brands. Chrysler is the least reliable of the domestic brands which suffer from poor quality. We don't know what Stellantis plans to do with the Chrysler and Dodge brands as several Chrysler & Dodge models have been cancelled over the last few years
    13
  12. Toyotat's can go 300,000 or 400,000 miles if taken are of. The Corollla and Camry are the most reliable cars
    11
  13. Chrysler products suffer from poor quality and reliability. Americans are not fans of Italian. As for Nissan, their quality has fallen since merging with Renault
    11
  14. Toyota is the most reliable car brand and their value drops very slowly compared to other brands

  15. You should not run your car to almost empty as that can wear out the fuel pump. Get gas when you pass half a tank of gas
    9
  16. or even taking your vehicle in for service. Buying a new car is one of the most hated things we do.
    8
  17. GM/Ford/Chrysler use hard/cheap plastics because they are trying to make the car as cheap as possible
    7
  18. The Nissan Sentra is dated compared to the Toyota Corolla. Since Renault merged with Nissan, Nissan's quality has fallen
    7
  19. Honda's & Toyota's have low depression value due to good quality & reliability. They also have low maintenance costs. Regular oil changes is the most important maintenance you should do because dirty oil will damage your engine. The japanese don't built there cars cheaply like the American brands do
    7
  20. Newer cars are more complicated as they run by computer and have allot of electronics. This makes it more complicated and expensive to repair
    7
  21. Unfortunately, Honda used Takota airbags in many of its models - more than other auto manufactures
    6
  22. Batteries normally last around 4 to 5 years. A sign that is getting weak, is that the dash lights seem dimmer than normal and that the car takes longer than usual to start.
    5
  23. A used 2017-2019 Toyota Corolla is just as expensive as a new 2022 Corolla. Another disadvantage of buying the older model is has the outdated infotainment system that doesn't have Android Auto or Apple CarPlay
    5
  24. I like the screen is up higher. It was too low in the model model
    5
  25. GM, Ford & Chrysler have stopped making small cars as they less popular which means less profit. Even Toyota discontinued the Mazda made Yaris and Honda dropped the Fit in the USA
    5
  26. Since FIAT bought Chrysler, Jeeps are built as good as they used to be. People don't like Italian engines. Chrysler have always suffered from poor quality/reliability and merging with FIAT didn't help.

  27. Dodge should not have cancelled the Caravan which they invented 40 years ago. They should have redesigned/updated it. Also, Carlos, the former CEO of Stellantis didn't understand that Americans don't want Italian Junk such as the Dodge Hornet which is an Alfa Romeo. No one wants electric cars. Chrysler/Dodge needs a new platform to build cars
    4
  28. OF the 4 minivans, Chrysler is the least reliable minivan and Toyota is the most reliable
    4
  29. Unfortunately, the Japanese models don't have the best infotainment systems and Toyota is so slow to update. They just added Apple CarPlay and are still working on Android Auto that every other manufacturer has.

  30. Against: The plastic interior door handles. Previous model Corolla they were metal. I don't like how Toyota is cheap with the Corolla treating it as an entry level car. Just because it is compact doesn't it has to have cheap hard plastics inside. However, the seats are more plush and better material then the previous model
    4
  31. The Toyota Sienna minivan is more reliable than the Honda Odyssey van. There are only 4 minivans made today from Chrysler, Honda, Toyota & Kia
    3
  32. Dealers have high overhead costs and so they are looking for ways to make more money off of customers
    3
  33. It is thought the Chrysler brand might be the first to go. Stellantis may close the Chrysler HQ in Detroit. Chrysler and Dodge have cancelled several old models and not come out with new models. As we know, Chrysler products have suffered from poor quality and poor reliability which is why they don't sell well

  34. After driving in snow, spray water in the underbody to remove the salt because it can cause rust
    3
  35. The SmartKey (push to start), sunroof and 7" Etunes plus infotainment system are optional on the SE - part of the premium package, but standard on the SE manual.
    3
  36. Chrysler has long suffered from poor build quality and poor reliability. They are the worst of the Big 3 American automakers
    3
  37. But what about Android Auto? That should also be standard. I'm frustrated that Toyota hasn't put Android Auto in all its vehicles
    3
  38. I have an SE with the Premium Package that includes the optional "Smart Key" system
    3
  39. What about the Toyota Corolla?
    3
  40. Disklikes: Still no Android Auto that everyone else has and not the best infotainment system on the market
    3
  41. Since Chrysler is FiatChrysler they have unreliable Italian engines
    3
  42. Honda is not good at making big engines, which is why the Honda Odyssey is unreliable. The Toyota Sienna is the most reliable minivan. Besides Kia, there is the Chrysler minivan which may not be reliable
    2
  43. Just like Toyota only offers the manual in the SE trim, the hybrid is only in the LE trim. Maybe in the future, they will offer in other trims. Since it just came out, they want to see how popular the hybrid Corolla will be
    2
  44. In Minnesota, they are banning drive thrus
    2
  45. you can take the hubcaps off to reveal the rims
    2
  46. Stellantis, owner of Chrysler, requires a subscription to access the diagnostic information. So even an independent professional mechanic has to subscribe to access the data. It's no longer simply plugging a diagnostic tool into the OBDII port to diagnose a problem. Some luxury brands require a code to be reset for the new battery to work properly
    2
  47. yes, too bad you can't get a sporty hybrid (SE/XSE)
    2
  48. I own a 2018 Toyota Corolla SE with a premium package. It has been very reliable and only has 9,100 miles. The local Toyota dealer keeps sending me notices that they want to buy it back and the trade-in value could be as much as $18,000. I bought it new for $20,000. The only thing I don't like is that is has the outdated Entunes 2.0 system that doesn't have Android Auto and Apple CarPlay while the new model has the newer system that has Apple and Android. Toyota isn't updating the system in their previous model Corolla, leaving customers stuck with outdated system.

  49.  @richardepstein3494  which is why they went bankrupt at the end of the decade. America's are no longer putting up poor quality after the Japanese arrived with better quality and more reliable cars

  50. 121 hp is lower than the 1.8 gas engine at 139 hp. Other trims offer a spare tire. The rear seat is a little more squished than the old model. Push Button is not standard on other trims. The only other trims with that digital guage is the XSE/XLE
