2015 Corolla owner here with 36,xxx mile on it.
It is my wife's vehicle. Here are the pros and cons we have found.
Pros:
--Excellent gas mileage. Going 75mph we achieved 44 mpg on a long road trip. 100% city driving nets over 30. That's pretty good.
--Rides nicely around town and on the highway. Takes bumps like a larger car.
--Fit and finish on the inside are nice for this class. Touch screen is easy to use.
--CVT transmission while laggy from a start, drives nicely once up to speed. Honestly, worlds better than my 2017 OUtlander Sport. Seems like the sweet spot is on the highway. Seems to really scoot from 60-80 mph.
--LED headlights are clear and bright. Nice to have in an economy car.
--Backseat is very roomy compared to last gen Corolla. They really stretched this vehicle over previous generations. Seats a normal sized person comfortably.
Cons:
--CVT transmission fluid is very difficult for a DIY to change himself. Requires fluid temperature monitoring and four quarts of Toyota fluid is 80 dollars. Dealer wants 325 dollars for a change and recommended we do it twice before 100,000 miles. That adds up to a timing belt service people complain about on other vehicles. Arrggghh.
--CVT transmission is quite noisy. When I pull into the garage it is very noticeable.
--Paint seems easy to scratch.
--Seats are a bit firm for my liking, but that is subjective.
