2016 Toyota Corolla ZR review - Long-term owner

Multimedia and safety technology: 8/10

Multimedia is great for 2016. Bluetooth connects quickly and calls are easy to make. Map function I don't use as much, but imagine it's not as useful. Safety tech is pretty standard.

Practicality: 9/10

It's a small vehicle but feels spacious inside. Boot space is decent for a hatchback and has a removable cover for privacy, which is a plus. Seats can fold down to be more spacious for larger items.

Driving: 8/10

Driving experience has always been good. It's not as smooth, but that's fair for an older and smaller car. I've never had any issues with the vehicle, had always been an easy drive and is super reliable. Love how it's economical. 

Running costs: 10/10

Fuel for the week is around $65 for a full tank (sometimes more if it's above $2). Insurance is roughly over a grand a year. Servicing has been straight forward.

Reliability: 8/10

It's renowned for its exceptional reliability. With a reputation for durability and longevity, it delivers a dependable driving experience. Routine maintenance, such as oil changes and timely repairs, contributes to the Corolla's longevity, making it a reliable choice for many drivers.
