2007 Toyota Corolla
2007 Toyota Corolla Le
Outside & Designing
Worldwide of portable automobiles, designing is increasingly ending up being much more bold. Observe the futuristic front end of the Honda Civic as well as the brutish look of Dodge's Quality. With its unmemorable appearances, the Corolla has neither of these cars' bravado, which might or might not be a good thing, depending upon your preferences. (The Corolla is due for a redesign in the following couple of years, as well as-- if the redesign of Toyota's 2007 Camry is anything to go by-- may obtain an extra distinctive exterior then.) No matter, shutting the Corolla's doors yields an assuring "thunk" that suggests a luxury-- rather than an economic situation-- cars and truck.
All versions have standard 15-inch steel wheels, though LE versions can have 15-inch alloy wheels and the Corolla S could have 15- or 16-inch alloy wheels. A looter is optional for the S.
Ride & Handling
The majority of my time behind the wheel of the Corolla was spent on Chicago's streets as well as highways. With these roadways' continuous blockage, it didn't take long to discover exactly how completed this auto remains in heavy traffic.
Though the taut suspension does little to remove bumps as well as craters, the Corolla is very maneuverable. The trip gets a bit uneven on the highway, with a great deal of up and down suspension movements, however body roll is properly controlled when cornering. Front as well as rear stabilizer bars are basic.
Going & Stopping
With the discontinuation of the high-output XRS, the sole engine for the 2007 Corolla is a 1.8-liter four-cylinder that makes 126 horse power as well as 122 pounds-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is basic as well as a four-speed automatic is optional. EPA gas mileage quotes are 32/41 mpg (city/highway) for hand-operated versions; price quotes go down to 30/38 with the transmission.
While the Corolla's engine has considerably lower output when compared with much of the competitors, it provides totally acceptable efficiency on city as well as suv roads. It's just on the highway that the engine's small power ratings restrict the Corolla's performance; the automatic-transmission Corolla I tested only had a very little amount of power for quick death. The smooth-shifting automatic kicks down promptly when contacted, however the act induces a substantial amount of engine noise as the four-cylinder ramps up the rpms.
Corollas have front-disc and rear-drum brakes that give direct stopping efficiency. Antilock brakes are optional.
The Inside
The driving setting is a little bit confined for vehicle drivers greater than 6 feet high, but this schedules more to absence of rearward adjustability in the driver's seat than to the cabin being excessively little. With the motorist's seat readjusted as best as feasible for someone tall, the guiding wheel is a little a reach, as well as it does not telescope to make driving easier. The dashboard stereo controls are instead away. While much shorter drivers most likely will not experience these problems, if you're taller you'll wish to pay special attention to the cabin's ergonomics throughout your examination drive.
The Corolla's control panel plastic has nice-looking graining, and the controls are logically set up. Most panels fit snugly with each other, and the high-level LE model has decent-looking imitation wood trim. The LE's fabric seats and also towel door-panel inserts feel and look dated when compared with more recent competitors, and that's prior to you take into consideration the Corolla's premium rates in its segment.
Even though it would certainly be nice if the front seats went back further, their restricted travel protects some area for back passengers, where legroom for the high is limited however total comfort is passable. I would not wish to be stuck back there for greater than a couple of hours, however. Again, owner size could mostly affect comfort, and also shorter guests could locate it entirely appropriate, also for lengthy journeys.
Safety and security
The Corolla obtained a Good overall ranking in the Insurance coverage Institute for Highway Safety and security's frontal-offset collision test. It gained an Appropriate overall score in the IIHS' side-impact examination when equipped with the optional side-impact air bags for the pole positions and also front and also rear side drape airbags. Without those $655 air bags, the Corolla's general side-impact score goes down to Poor, so you need to consider them a requirement.
Other optional security features include anti-skid brakes with digital brake-force circulation and also a digital stability system that's offered for automatic-transmission S and LE designs.
Freight & Towing
The Corolla's 13.6-cubic-foot trunk is relatively large for a portable sedan, and it has a wide opening to ease gain access to. Folding the typical 60/40-split back seats is achieved by using 2 wisely located knobs near the top of the trunk. The extensive tons floor isn't really entirely level, nevertheless; there's a walk in between the folded up seatbacks and the trunk flooring.
Toyota claims the Corolla could tow up to 1,500 pounds when correctly equipped.
Functions
Cooling, a CD stereo, power-adjustable side mirrors as well as a temperature level gauge are common. The S versions add rocker panels as well as front and rear underbody spoilers to the exterior and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and also shifter, various evaluates, power door locks and interior chrome trim. The high-level LE includes power windows, keyless access and vivid electroluminescent determines that are simple to read. Cruise ship control, a moonroof and also a JBL audio system with an in-dash six-CD changer are optional.
Corolla in the Market
The Corolla is proof that-- as long as the fundamentals are there-- strong sales typically aren't contingent on having the newest, snazziest model. Though its interior lags the moments even for an economic situation auto, it's difficult to argue with the Corolla's sales: Greater than 200,000 have been marketed via September of 2006, and that's in the face of fresh competition through the revamped Honda Civic. That's an outstanding success for an aging design, also one with the Corolla's excellent integrity background.
