The Toyota Corolla Model

It is very easy to get lost in the car market with so many different brands, big or small.

Among those different brands can mean a wide variety of different car models as well. There are

several car brands such as Honda, Chevy, Ford, and Toyota that people may be familiar with

already. These have established their reputations as reliable cars across the world. However,

Toyota company has been releasing their Corolla models for decades now and has been the most

efficient car to hit the market due to its interior, gas economy, and reliability.

Toyota Corolla models have been releasing since 1966, with each new generation of

models bringing new added features, improved gas usage, and space for the cabin. Corolla

models have been the longest production of vehicles in the industry by Toyota. Reliability ratings

for each model over several decades have been consistently positive. Corollas have been the

best-selling car for the past 22 years.

To start with, the interior of the car is very simple and comfortable. All the seats for the

car are cloth material and are very comfortable, especially during the hot temperatures. The

dashboard for the driver is very easy to navigate and is equipped with the basic necessities. The

cabin for the car has plenty of space for the passengers as well. Lastly, the center console comes

with CD built into the radio and can be removed and upgraded to a different one if one chooses.

One expert review on Edmunds quotes, “The Toyota Corolla interior is furnished with high-

quality materials and user-friendly controls that wouldn't seem out of place in a more expensive

car. Even with the car's tall cabin design, room in the front seats is only average with a somewhat

awkward seating position for the driver.” (Edmunds interior) The car review touches on being

user friendly to new owners for the car.

Besides the interior being simple and comfortable, another factor to include when

reviewing a vehicle is the gas economy. The gas economy of the Corollas have been known to be

the very best in their class. Corollas take regular gasoline which is a very positive note rather

than taking premium gas which can get very expensive during shifting gas prices. According to

the FuelEconomy.gov website, people can save $750 dollars in gas costs over the course of five

years compared to the average car. Another important detail is the tank size. The Corolla has a

tank size of 13.2 gallons and gives the driver a full 409 miles in total before needing to fill again.

The Corolla’s MPG beats an average of 29 other cars when comparing the gas economy.

Finally, the car has exceptional reliability. The reliability for this model can mean several

things. The repairs for the vehicle can be easily and cheaply done if taken to a car shop. Parts for

the car can be easily found at a nearby auto shop instead of struggling to look online. The tires

for the car are smaller sizes so therefore easier to replace. If the car is well maintained, this will

increase the longevity. The two customer reviews come from Cars.com under the Toyota Corolla

customer reviews section. The first customer review who owns this car quotes, “Very reliable car

I think I would buy this car over and over. Good gas mileage comfortable nobody wants to steal

it cheap on repairs.” Another customer review to address quotes, “The most reliable car I have

owned. I have driven Corolla’s since 1993. Toyota’s are well made. They hold the road even with

black ice. Andrew Toyota does an excellent job of maintenance. I have had my latest Corolla for

16 years with no engine problem. Happy me!!” Both of these customers mentioned how reliable

the car has been for them and the first one mentions how cheap the repairs are.

The Toyota Corolla interior is very simple and comfortable for new owners to adjust.

Secondly, the Corolla’s gas economy is the best of its kind and beats an average of 29 other

vehicles. Lastly, the reliability of the Corolla is consistent with regular maintenance and is cheap

to repair. In conclusion, the Toyota Corolla is the most efficient car to hit the market due to its

interior, gas economy, and reliability.
