Wow, I lost my key fob in the ocean and thought that was the end of that. A week later it was found all the key rings were badly corroded but the fob still works!!! I was amazed, well done Toyota. Show details
Follow-up · It was submerged for three quarters of every tide so submerged about 18 hrs/ day at a depth of 1m and the buttons work fine!
Toyota Corolla and Oh What a Feeling! – Customer Service was Excellent from the moment we arrived. Our Sales Representative was thorough and engaged in an open, friendly manner making it a comfortable experience. He understood the importance of our priorities in being an economic, safe, sedan car being used for private commuting & family transportation. All Toyota features of this new… Read more
Corolla were explained in great detail including the hybrid system which is something new to us, not ever having owned one previously. This is a very economical vehicle on petrol without solely relying on the fully electric hybrid vehicles. Which was a personal choice we didn’t want a hybrid only vehicle. The space inside the Corolla is surprisingly bigger than it appears to look and comfortable to travel in with a very roomy boot capacity. It is quiet and smooth. Driving a Toyota reassures me safety, in knowing how well Toyota focus on building their vehicles with this being their strong point over many other brands. The Toyota New Car Service schedule for the GR Toyota Corolla GTS model is with the First Service at 2,000 kms and thereafter every 15,000 kms or 1 year with capped price servicing for 5 Years. Which is very reassuring. It’s hard to beat a Toyota & Oh What A Feeling!
Perfect – The car is very fuel efficient and is quite smooth on highways. Show details
good service – good service…fast service honest service on time Honest people in fundo Show details

Will never EVER buy another toyota – I bought a 2019 hybrid corolla new. ZR top of the range. It has a good rear view camera and relatively cheap to run.. although my 5.5lt per 100k is a long way from the advertised 4.2. The demister doesn't demist side windows, there is no reverse collision warning sound, the blind spot is terrible ( I have a long lost of functions it does perform,… Read more
but not very well)..but the final straw is. NO SPARE TYRE..NONE..no space saver ..just a tyre kit. When I had a punture RACV would not even use it, said it is useless. Now I have a totally flat tyre my options were.. have it towed to a repair shop or have one come to me.. turns out a pot hole had bent the inside of a rim and ruined the tyre. Turns out toyota charge 1920.00... and I checked this myself .. for ONE rim. I will never ever buy another toyota, and mine will be for sale when it is fixed. In the interim, i don't have a driveable car all due to a punture. What a joke.

Headlights clear coat peeling on a 6 year old car – I’ve got a 2019 Corolla hatch and the both left and right headlights clear coat is peeling. I noticed it a couple of months ago and kept an eye on it then it got a lot worse. I’ve talked to my closest dealership and have been told that warranty won’t cover it as is environmental damage. The car gets washed fortnightly and serviced as per logbook… Read more
requirements, gets a fresh coat of wax every couple of months. The damage is on the top of the headlights which is covered by the bonnet and rock chips won’t hit the top otherwise there would be stone chips on the bonnet, also the top of the headlights don’t get ANY sunlight whatsoever. I expect the headlights to peel on a 10 year old car but not a 4 year old corolla.
Fairly basic car that is doesn't have many features – Bought this car new about 3 months ago. It is fairly fuel efficient, but lacks many features that were standard on many cars 10 years ago. The mirrors don't fold in automatically. The rear vision mirror doesn't automatically dim. Only one USB port in the front. No aircon vent in the back. It is also fairly noisy inside once you go over about… Read more
60kms/h. The boot space is fairly small. On my car the rubber around the window on the rear passenger side hasn't been fitted properly so it leaks air and is noisy if you're sitting in the back (Toyota are looking into this). Because of COVID I couldn't do a test drive. Have to say I expected a bit more for my money.
Great car, smooth quiet driving with all the bells and whistles – Have had this car almost three years and love it. I average 4.8 litres per 100 klms as I have the air conditioning on all the time. Car is smooth with good power . Interior is modern with all the safety features like blind spot monitoring and lane warning. Really like the wireless charging pad. Rear space is limited but I never have passengers in the back .
Great car, perfect daily driver! – Purchased roughly a month ago, brand new. Base model 2020 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport with the CVT Auto with NAV/GPS option. Used every weekday, 400km total a week (Use a separate car on the weekends), average of 6.1L per 100km fuel economy with a lot of highway driving. Previous car was a Hyundai i30 Active (2013) Manual and it got 6.0L per… Read more
100km traveling the exact same distance and route. So for an Auto to practically equal a manual is fantastic, AND the Toyota has more power! (110kW vs 125kW).
My first car with a CVT, it's a bit different than the conventional Auto Transmission. This one has a launch gear (physical 1st gear, then CVT band after that). Launch gear disengages at around 25km/h which is noticeable when you're babying the car, but if you drive it normally (1/2 to 3/4 on accelerator pedal) you can't feel it anymore than a conventional 1st to 2nd shift, maybe even less. When you're decelerating coming to a red light you can notice it more because the car/transmission is actively using a sort of engine braking (think there's a few comments about it online about it jerking when slowing down), i believe you can disable it through a Tech2 scanner, but it's just something you get used to.
Bluetooth connects instantly, unlike my Hyundai's which would occasionally fail and always take 10-15(minor, i know) seconds to connect.
Great car overall. I wish there was an even lower base model, like just the 'Ascent' they offered previously, rather than the 'Ascent Sport' that is the base model currently. I personally don't care about fancy features, just wanted something that will be reliable for years and years to come; less features means less to potentially break and cost to fix. Probably won't break being a Toyota after all.
Loving the fuel economy and the service i've had dealing with Toyota and their dealership's sales team so far. Very happy with the purchase and hope everything stays that way. Will update the comment or leave another review if anything changes in the future. Warranty is 5 year bumper to bumper and 7 year drivetrain (if you keep it up to Toyota's standard (which i assume means service it on time and use genuine parts to replace anything if it breaks or you upgrade it)).
All the best on your next purchase, hope this helped you make a decision!
Stay away from the 2020 Toyota Corolla – Got a brand new 2020 Toyota Corolla Automatic Hatch ZR from Melton Toyota. Paid a fortune for it ($38,000). This car is an absolute lemon. There is a genuine defect in the automatic transmission. The car loses power frequently when taking off and when driving at constant speed. I reported the matter to Melton Toyota and after many attempts, they… Read more
finally reluctantly took the car back for an inspection. They kept the car for one day, and returned it the next day, telling me they found nothing wrong with the car. I took the car back and noticed the problem got worse. The car is very shaky when taking off and as soon as I reach around 30 km/h, the transmission loses power and the car slows down by itself. I again reported the matter to Melton Toyota and again I had to insist to get another inspection done at the Melton Toyota workshop. Again Melton Toyota told me they found nothing wrong with the car. I have made contact with the Consumer Affairs Victoria but they told me they can't do much and that I have to take the matter to VCAT. I am now in talk with a lawyer to build a case against Toyota. It is unfortunate that the consumer laws in this country do not give customers enough rights. I request other Toyota Corolla owners with similar issues to get in touch, perhaps we can launch a class action against Toyota. In the meantime, I request everyone to stay away from the new Toyota Corolla.
Needs to be driven frequently to charge the hybrid battery – Have had my hybrid for 1 month. Was initially looking at the Lexus UX hybrid. But the Corolla was a sportier drive and had a nicer interior - plus was half the price. The Corolla is great to drive, has good visibility and has more technology than I can use. It is amazing driving in electric mode - so silent. The only negative is that the hybrid… Read more
battery is going flat because the car is not driven every day. When I enquired about this, I was told to take the car on a long drive.
The Toyota Australia website states the "high-voltage Hybrid 'traction battery' will never run out of charge, as it charges while you drive". However there is an article on the Toyota UK website dated 03 April 2020 which recommends, if not driven regularly, to idle the car for 60 mins at least once a week. During this 60 minutes the petrol engine kicks in to charge the hybrid battery.
In all of my research before purchasing, I could not find any information about the charging of the hybrid battery. Idling in the garage, with the petrol enging on, for 1 hr a week defeats the purpose of why I wanted a hybrid vehicle.
Update - Feb2021... Almost a year later & I'm more familiar with the hybrid charging system & am driving in a way that maximises battery charging. Battery indicator always shows 1/2 to 2/3 charged and am only doing short inner city trips a few times/week. I'm averaging 5L / km on each tank of fuel.
Great reliable small car – Bought a new 2019 model in Jan 2020, came with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, easy to use Google Map in 8" colour touchscreen. Smooth driving, many safety features (haven't tried them all though), Hybrid engine (4.4L/100km for urban driving). Great reliable small car! Show details

A fuel economic small car with comfortable space in front seat – It is for my everyday use for commuting to work. Also I use it to go shopping, sports, and family transport over the weekend or long holidays. It was a brand new car bought in 2018. I get it serviced when I received email notifications from the vendor. So far, there was no issues mentioned by the mechanic in the last service. Show details
