As with any used car, check maintenance history—especially for sport suspension components and ensure the previous owner kept up with routine service.

These proportions make it easy to maneuver in urban/suburban settings while still offering passenger and cargo practicality.
Driving Experience
The 2014 Corolla S?Plus is comfortable, dependable and a bit more fun to drive than basic econo-sedans thanks to its sport trim. Steering and ride feel are tuned for everyday usability rather than aggressive performance. One owner commented:
“Just got a 2014 S?Plus … If you change the oil regularly that engine will just keep going.” Reddit
A caveat: if the vehicle is equipped with the CVT, make sure that service history is solid because owners sometimes note that CVTs require a bit more attention (fluid changes etc). Reddit
