FEATURES

Long the poster child for practical transportation, the Toyota Corolla’s virtues aren’t measured in thrills but instead in efficiency and value. Toyota has been leveraging that name recognition lately, spinning off first the Corolla Cross pseudo-SUV and recently the limited-edition GR Corolla, both reviewed separately. The Corolla sedan and hatchback models remain the bread and butter of the lineup, and both use a trusty but unhurried 169-horsepower inline-four and automatic transmission. While performance maybe lackadaisical, the Corolla has a predictable and unfussy nature. Sales numbers indicate it’s a vibe that works, and buyers looking for transportation and little else will likely never be disappointed in a Corolla. But the Honda Civic or Mazda 3 will put a bigger smile on the face of a thrifty driver who isn’t afraid to carve a corner or two. There’s a remarkably efficient Corolla Hybrid too—that’s even available with all-wheel drive—but it’s limited to the sedan body style.- Car and Driver
