Critics' Consensus

“The 2022 Toyota Corolla SE Apex delivers a fun driving experience with its manual transmission and sport-tuned suspension, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking everyday practicality. While it lacks the power of rivals and features a dated infotainment system, its solid build quality and comprehensive safety package justify its value.”

“But I suspect the Corolla's reputation for longevity will prove attractive enough to lure some people to the Apex, a car that's surprisingly entertaining -- especially if you shift your own gears.”
