2019 Toyota Corolla Icon 1.2 VVTi from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Impressive little car
Faults:
Nothing in two years, the car was bought used with low miles in perfect condition.
General Comments:
The modern Corolla is classic Toyota - simple and reliable. I have had this car for two years and it has not missed a beat.
Silver, 5 door hatch model. Icon spec is a nice one with all the modern electrics you could want. It's a very comfortable and quiet little car, and has enough space for a small family or two adults on their own.
Nice to drive, 1.2 is no performance engine, but is very economical for a modern petrol engine as expected.
Super low running costs, practicality and reliability, it's like the perfect car!
A bit expensive to buy initially on an over priced used market, but worth it for a good one and certainly a better car than your average Ford Focus or Vauxhall Astra or whatever you want to compare it to.
Only thing better is a more modern version - I am thinking of going for the 1.8 hybrid estate version for my next car in a few years time, but enjoying this one for now!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

2019 Corolla hybrid 1.8 estate update. The best MPG I can get is 76 MPG in Eco mode. Watch the tyre pressure to get this high MPG.
Absolutely hate the built in sat nav; it's bloody useless.
