My 2011 Toyota Corolla: First Toyota Experience The 2011 Toyota Corolla marked my entry into the Toyota brand, having previously owned only Hondas and Nissans. I found a pre-owned 2011 Corolla in 2013 for a fair price of $11,500.  Although I only kept the car for four years before trading it in for my 2016 Highlander, the Corolla provided worry-free ownership throughout my time with it. I was genuinely impressed by Toyota's reliability, requiring only routine oil changes, a battery replacement, and a new set of tires. While I briefly considered purchasing another Corolla to complement the Highlander, I decided instead for a Camry.  And in hindsight, if I could do it all over again I'd likely have gotten a Camry instead of the Corolla, but it was still a valuable experience.
