3 Reasons Why the Corolla Is a Top-Selling Vehicle

3 Reasons Why the Corolla Is a Top-Selling Vehicle

We at Toyota of Des Moines have many quality vehicles on our sales floor, and one that consistently impresses drivers is the Toyota Corolla. Allow us to give you a few reasons why this car is a top seller at our dealership.

Longevity and Dependability

The Toyota brand is known for its long-lasting and reliable vehicles, and the Corolla doesn’t disappoint in this regard. These models consistently perform at peak capacity for well over 100,000 miles, meaning you are going to have many quality journeys down Highway 69. Moreover, you will have several warranty coverages when you choose a new Toyota Corolla, including an enviable 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty1. The Corolla has also succeeded in claiming the top Auto Reliability title from Cars.com, an accolade that proves that consumers are impressed with the longevity of their Toyota vehicles. 

Compact Size and Fuel Economy

Another benefit of choosing the Toyota Corolla is the fact that you’ll get a compact car that’s ideal for commutes around Des Moines. Because of its sporty aesthetic, you’re likely to get jealous glances from other motorists as you venture to Des Moines Water Works Park. Once you arrive, you won’t have trouble squeezing into a tight parking space because of the small stature of the Corolla. Not only that, but this sedan is efficient because of its lightweight frame and modern engine system. Recent iterations of the Corolla have a Continuously Variable Transmissions that enable smooth acceleration and promote efficient travel.

Awards

The Toyota Corolla is a standout vehicle that you can rely on for the long haul, but don’t just take our word for it. You will find that it has succeeded in securing many awards and accolades, including the 2025 IIHS Top Safety Pick2 title. This means you’ll be piloting a car that is tried and tested in terms of safety. What’s more, the 2024 version of the Corolla earned the KBB Best Resale Value Award3, which means that you will be able to see a noteworthy return on your investment. In addition to these, the 2024 Corolla has been given an NHTSA 5-Star Overall Safety Rating4 to further cement its protective capabilities.

I was greeted promptly and notified once completed. Pick up took a bit longer because it was lunch time. There was no one in the service office, but I asked someone in the express area and they were able to find someone to assist me. There were no issues or problems.

We are pleased with our customer service so far.

Upon arriving they could not find my appointment but they went ahead and checked me in. Was less than a hour and gave me a video of the mechanic filming his procedure during his inspection. That is very helpful!! Everyone involved with my RAV 4 hybrids and dealing with me were very friendly!

Very good experience. Of course ended up paying a little more and getting a little less for trade ins than hoped but that's usually how it goes. Not a lot of negotiating power. So far very happy with the car! People were all very nice and friendly. We were impressed with the area that they had our car for pick up. Liked that it was indoors.

Few sentences may be difficult. I never thought this experience would happen at Toyota. Was told the service repair was finished & ready for pickup. Car hadn't even been looked at. Was told shuttle would pick me up when repair was completed; then told shuttle service not offered since I didn't drop the car off. But I had to have the car towed in. Too many people I had to talk with. No one knew what the other was doing.
