2007 Toyota Corolla
2007 Toyota Corolla
Outside & Designing
On the planet of small cars, designing is progressively coming to be much more bold. Observe the futuristic front end of the Honda Civic and also the brutish look of Dodge's Quality. With its unmemorable appearances, the Corolla has neither of these vehicles' bravado, which may or may not be a good idea, relying on your preferences. (The Corolla schedules for a redesign in the next couple of years, and also-- if the redesign of Toyota's 2007 Camry is anything to pass-- may get an extra distinct exterior after that.) Regardless, closing the Corolla's doors produces a guaranteeing "thunk" that recommends a luxury-- rather than an economic climate-- auto.
All designs have conventional 15-inch steel wheels, though LE designs can have 15-inch alloy wheels and also the Corolla S can have 15- or 16-inch alloy wheels. A spoiler is optional for the S.
Trip & Handling
A lot of my time behind the wheel of the Corolla was spent on Chicago's streets as well as highways. With these roadways' perpetual blockage, it really did not take long to uncover how achieved this auto remains in heavy traffic.
Though the taut suspension does little to filter out bumps and craters, the Corolla is very manoeuvrable. The ride gets a little bit uneven on the highway, with a great deal of backwards and forwards suspension motions, but body roll is effectively regulated when cornering. Front and back stabilizer bars are typical.
Going & Stopping
With the discontinuation of the high-output XRS, the single engine for the 2007 Corolla is a 1.8-liter four-cylinder that makes 126 horsepower and also 122 pounds-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is common and a four-speed automated is optional. EPA gas mileage estimates are 32/41 mpg (city/highway) for hand-operated designs; estimates drop to 30/38 with the transmission.
While the Corolla's engine has considerably lower result when compared to much of the competitors, it offers completely appropriate performance on city and rural roads. It's only on the freeway that the engine's moderate power rankings limit the Corolla's performance; the automatic-transmission Corolla I tested just had a very little amount of power for fast death. The smooth-shifting automatic kicks down rapidly when called upon, but the act causes a significant quantity of engine noise as the four-cylinder increases the rpms.
Corollas have front-disc and rear-drum brakes that offer direct quiting performance. Anti-skid brakes are optional.
The In
The driving setting is a bit confined for drivers greater than 6 feet tall, but this schedules more to absence of rearward adjustability in the vehicle driver's seat than to the cabin being exceedingly tiny. With the chauffeur's seat changed as best as feasible for somebody high, the steering wheel is a bit of a reach, and also it doesn't telescope making driving easier. The dashboard stereo controls are instead away. While much shorter vehicle drivers most likely will not experience these problems, if you're taller you'll wish to pay special focus on the cabin's comfort designs during your examination drive.
The Corolla's dashboard plastic has nice-looking graining, and also the controls are rationally organized. Most panels fit tightly with each other, and the top-level LE model has decent-looking imitation wood trim. The LE's towel seats and fabric door-panel inserts feel and look dated when compared with newer rivals, which's before you think about the Corolla's costs prices in its segment.
Although it would certainly behave if the front seats returned farther, their minimal travel preserves some room for rear guests, where legroom for the high is limited but overall comfort is satisfactory. I would not intend to be stuck back there for more than a couple of hrs, though. Once more, occupant dimension could mainly affect comfort, and shorter guests might discover it completely acceptable, even for long trips.
Security
The Corolla got a Great general ranking in the Insurance coverage Institute for Highway Security's frontal-offset crash examination. It gained an Appropriate overall score in the IIHS' side-impact test when outfitted with the optional side-impact airbags for the pole positions and also front and back side curtain airbags. Without those $655 air bags, the Corolla's general side-impact rating drops to Poor, so you ought to consider them a requirement.
Various other optional safety and security attributes include anti-skid brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and a digital security system that's readily available for automatic-transmission S and LE versions.
Cargo & Towing
The Corolla's 13.6-cubic-foot trunk is fairly huge for a small car, and also it has a vast opening to ease access. Folding the conventional 60/40-split back seats is accomplished using two smartly located handles near the top of the trunk. The prolonged load floor isn't really totally flat, nevertheless; there's a ledge in between the folded up seatbacks and the trunk floor.
Toyota states the Corolla could tow approximately 1,500 pounds when properly equipped.
Attributes
A/c, a CD stereo, power-adjustable side mirrors and also a temperature level gauge are common. The S models add rocker panels as well as front as well as back underbody looters to the exterior and also a leather-wrapped wheel and shifter, different gauges, power door locks as well as indoor chrome trim. The top-level LE adds power windows, keyless entrance and also vibrant electroluminescent evaluates that are simple to read. Cruise control, a moonroof as well as a JBL stereo with an in-dash six-CD changer are optional.
Corolla out there
The Corolla is evidence that-- as long as the basics are there-- solid sales aren't contingent on having the newest, snazziest design. Though its inside is behind the moments also for an economic situation car, it's difficult to say with the Corolla's sales: More than 200,000 have been sold with September of 2006, and that remains in the face of fresh competitors through the revamped Honda Civic. That's an outstanding accomplishment for an aging version, even one with the Corolla's excellent reliability background.
