 The car is not that good looking to begin with, but it comes in any color you want as long as its white, black, 50 shades of grey, or Christmas tree ornament blue or red, very boring.  You get what you pay for, but surprisingly  for the price the fit and finish are very good.. The interior does seem to contain a lot of shiny cheap plastic.  They also put a lot of emphasis on back seat legroom, but they didn't leave any upfront and that makes the car uncomfortable on a long trip.  I have already stopped to stretch my legs so as not to get a DVT. My major complaint is the CV transmission.  I'm sure this may be an adequate transmission is a state that is flat, or in a snowmobile; but where I live It is very hilly and there is the problem.   First it is noisy under acceleration and that acceleration is very poor.  It is slower that the 4 speed automatic it replaced and a snail when compared to a manual shift. The engine races when accelerating, and  it seems you are always waiting for the transmission to catch up.  The RPM are all over the place, and passing can take a long time and be dangerous.  Toyota put phony shift points in a transmission that doesn't shift; this is very irritating and it is one more thing to go wrong.  I wonder what Toyota was thinking?  Has anyone asked why the 2018 Camry started with a clean sheet of paper and they didn't put a CVT in that car?  My theory is that this transmission is light duty only.   Instead of gears there is a belt between two drums, and unlike a gear that meshes, the belts probably need a high coefficient of friction to function and friction  spells wear.  I was going to purchase this car until a friend, who is a transmission technician , suggested I lease it because in about 60k-70k miles there is a good chance of transmission failure. Visits to various websites appears to bear that out.  If the factory has all this confidence with this gum band transmission why don't they offer a longer FACTORY warranty to give the buyer peace of mind? If there are a lot of problems model wide, resale will suffer.  Before you buy one insist on an overnight test drive to see if you can live with it.  Why can't Toyota give us options like a 6 speed auto, 5 speed manual, or a dual clutch auto?  There really is no alternative except Kia, Hyundai, or Mazda since the Honda civic, Nissan Sentra, and Nissan Altima also have CVTs.  I realize that auto companies are being forced into this with CAFE averages, but I'm not happy with this transmission and a potential of a $4500+ replacement charge, when it is out of warranty, so they can meet the CAFE and be able to sell a Tundra. This is just my opinion, but if you are buying for the long term maybe you should research CVTs on some websitesOther complaints are lack of road feel, visibility is poor, and one has no idea where the front bumper is (maybe they need an upfront camera too), too much pedal travel in the brake, and difficulty getting in and out Other than the transmission, and some minor stuff, this is a very decent car for the price.  As mentioned, fit and finish are excellent.  It has a five star safety rating.  The lane departure is good for those who like that tech.  The air is great even though the fan is loud.  I think this is my last Corolla especially when the next generation is going to be made in Mexico.Well that's my review, choose wisely.
