Model: 2009 to 2013 Toyota Corolla
Vehicle Type: Compact Sedan
The Verdict: The 2009 to 2013 Toyota Corolla appears, once again, to be one of the safest used-car bets going. Most issues reported are minor in nature and easily fixed. Owners enjoyed a spacious, comfortable and fuel-efficient driving experience largely free of major issues.
Price: High resale values see this generation Corolla coming in from the $10,000 mark for a 2009 or 2010 with some miles, and climbing above $20,000 for a newer, loaded, low-mileage unit. There's plenty of selection in the low teens.
What Owners Like: Commonly praised in this generation Corolla are things like seat comfort, upscale interior trimmings, ride comfort, and spaciousness including the trunk. Many owners say they appreciate the abundant range of storage spaces, as well as excellent fuel mileage.
What Owners Dislike: Common complaints include “just adequate” power output, a lazy and numb steering feel, and the likelihood of losing your Corolla in the Costco parking lot with the large number of other Corollas parked there.
