3 Easy Steps Toyota Corolla 2014-2017 Maintenance Reset

The 2014 Corolla grew in size, but continued to return a frugal 32 mpg overall. Interior room rivals some midsized sedans with a roomy rear seat. Ride comfort is commendable and handling is responsive. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) amplifies engine drone when climbing hills or merging, but is unobtrusive in ordinary everyday loafing around. The controls are simple and you get a touchscreen infotainment system, as well as all of the latest in connectivity. Automatic climate control comes standard on LE and above trims; this convenience is unusual in this class. 2017 brought standard forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking, impressive at this price. Overall, a recent vintage Corolla is one of the best used car values.

 3 Easy Steps Toyota Corolla 2009-2013 Engine Oil Life Reset


Redesigned for 2009, the Corolla grew a bit larger and acquired a significantly quieter and more economical 1.8-liter four-cylinder. Side curtain airbags became standard and provided much better crash protection than older Corolla models. Stability control became standard in 2010. Engines and transmissions operate smoothly, while the car gets a commendable 32 mpg. The ride is relatively comfortable and handling is secure but uninspiring. Although the interior is humdrum, easy to use controls and a relatively roomy cabin give the Corolla an edge over other small sedans. Even the mid-trim LE comes nicely equipped.

3 Easy Steps Toyota Corolla 2003-2008 Oil Reset Instruction


Historically, the Corolla has hit the small sedan sweet spot of practical size, good performance, and admirable fuel economy. As long as you're not looking for a fun-to-drive driving experience, the Corolla is a solid choice. It's one of the quietest in its class, but engine drone can sometimes be pronounced. Expect 29 mpg overall. While ride quality is absorbent and unobtrusive, handling is uninspiring -- though secure. The cabin offers good access and a decent rear seat, but the driving position is a bit compromised due to a steering wheel that's too far away. Stability control and side curtain airbags were rare options for the pre-2009 Corolla, so it might be tricky to find one thus equipped. Without curtain airbags, the car scored a Poor in IIHS crash tests. If your budget permits, we recommend a 2009 or later Corolla, as these provide much better crash protection.
