INTRODUCTION: “The Corolla is an excellent value among compact cars. A four-door, compact sedan with front-wheel drive, the Corolla inexpensive to buy and operate, yet it feels like a small version of the midsize Toyota Camry.
We found the Corolla reliable, comfortable, and easy to drive, with straightforward controls, minimal distractions.
All 2011 Corolla models use the same engine, a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder with electronic dual variable valve timing and direct fuel injection.”
FEATURES: “The Toyota Corolla comes with fabric upholstery, air conditioning with air filter, CD/WMA/MP3/XM radio, multi-information display, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, six-way manual driver seat, 60/40 split folding rear seat, power mirrors, outside temperature gauge, and 15-inch steel wheels.
Corolla LE ($17,300) comes standard with the automatic transmission and adds power windows and door locks, cruise control, remote keyless entry, heated mirrors, and intermittent wipers.
Standard safety features include six airbags: dual frontal, front side-impact airbags, side curtain airbags. Antilock Brakes, Stability Control with Traction Control, and tire pressure monitor are also standard.”
DRIVING IMPRESSION: The 1.8-liter four-cylinder DOHC engine that comes standard on the Corolla generates 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque. It's EPA-rated at 28/35 mpg city/highway with the manual transmission and 26/34 mpg with the automatic. That matches the mileage we got. The engine uses direct fuel injection, and Dual Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VVT-i) to optimize valve timing for the best blend of power, economy and emissions. It uses a timing chain rather than a belt, which usually saves on service costs.”
SUMMARY: “The Toyota Corolla is a practical sedan with a solid reputation, and gets excellent fuel mileage.”USER REVIEWS
