2007 Toyota Corolla
Toyota Corolla S 2007
Outside & Designing
On the planet of compact automobiles, designing is increasingly ending up being much more daring. Experience the advanced front end of the Honda Civic and also the brutish look of Dodge's Caliber. With its unmemorable appearances, the Corolla has neither of these cars' blowing, which could or might not be a good idea, depending on your preferences. (The Corolla schedules for a redesign in the next couple of years, as well as-- if the redesign of Toyota's 2007 Camry is anything to pass-- might get a more distinctive exterior then.) No matter, shutting the Corolla's doors produces an assuring "thunk" that suggests a deluxe-- rather than an economy-- car.
All versions have typical 15-inch steel wheels, though LE models could have 15-inch alloy wheels and the Corolla S can have 15- or 16-inch alloy wheels. A looter is optional for the S.
Trip & Handling
The majority of my time behind the wheel of the Corolla was invested in Chicago's streets and freeways. With these roadways' perpetual blockage, it didn't take lengthy to find exactly how completed this auto remains in heavy traffic.
Though the taut suspension does little to strain bumps as well as craters, the Corolla is really maneuverable. The trip obtains a bit uneven on the freeway, with a great deal of up and down suspension motions, but body roll is successfully controlled when cornering. Front and also rear stabilizer bars are common.
Going & Ending
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 as well as 122 pounds-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is conventional and also a four-speed automatic is optional. EPA gas mileage estimates are 32/41 mpg (city/highway) for hands-on designs; quotes drop to 30/38 with the transmission.
While the Corolla's engine has substantially lower outcome when compared with much of the competitors, it provides totally appropriate efficiency on city and also rural roads. It's only on the freeway that the engine's small power scores limit the Corolla's efficiency; the automatic-transmission Corolla I examined only had a minimal quantity of power for fast death. The smooth-shifting automatic kicks down swiftly when contacted, yet the act causes a considerable quantity of engine sound as the four-cylinder ramps up the rpms.
Corollas have front-disc and rear-drum brakes that provide linear quiting performance. Anti-skid brakes are optional.
The In
The driving setting is a bit confined for vehicle drivers more than 6 feet high, yet this is due even more to absence of rearward adjustability in the driver's seat than to the cabin being exceedingly small. With the chauffeur's seat readjusted as best as feasible for a person tall, the steering wheel is a little a reach, and it doesn't telescope to make driving less complicated. The dashboard stereo controls are instead far away. While much shorter motorists likely will not experience these concerns, if you're taller you'll intend to pay special focus on the cabin's comfort designs throughout your test drive.
The Corolla's control panel plastic has nice-looking graining, and also the controls are practically prepared. The majority of panels fit snugly together, and the high-level LE model has decent-looking replica wood trim. The LE's fabric seats and fabric door-panel inserts look dated when as compared to newer rivals, and that's prior to you think about the Corolla's costs pricing in its section.
Despite the fact that it would certainly be nice if the pole positions returned further, their restricted traveling preserves some room for rear travelers, where legroom for the high is restricted yet general convenience is satisfactory. I wouldn't intend to be stuck back there for greater than a few hours, however. Once more, passenger size could greatly affect comfort, as well as much shorter passengers may locate it entirely appropriate, even for lengthy trips.
Safety and security
The Corolla received a Great total ranking in the Insurance Institute for Freeway Security's frontal-offset collision test. It earned an Appropriate overall ranking in the IIHS' side-impact test when equipped with the optional side-impact air bags for the pole positions and also front and also rear side drape air bags. Without those $655 air bags, the Corolla's overall side-impact score drops to Poor, so you must consider them a necessity.
Other optional safety functions consist of antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and a digital stability system that's readily available for automatic-transmission S as well as LE versions.
Cargo & Towing
The Corolla's 13.6-cubic-foot trunk is fairly huge for a portable sedan, and it has a large opening to ease access. Folding up the common 60/40-split rear seats is accomplished using 2 smartly located handles near the top of the trunk. The extensive lots floor isn't really entirely level, however; there's a walk in between the folded up seatbacks as well as the trunk flooring.
Toyota says the Corolla can tow as much as 1,500 pounds when correctly geared up.
Attributes
Air conditioning, a CD stereo, power-adjustable side mirrors as well as a temperature gauge are conventional. The S designs include rocker panels as well as front and rear underbody spoilers to the outside as well as 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 entry and lively electroluminescent evaluates that are simple to check out. Cruise ship control, a moonroof as well as a JBL audio system with an in-dash six-CD changer are optional.
Corolla on the market
The Corolla is evidence that-- as long as the fundamentals are there-- solid sales aren't contingent on having the newest, snazziest design. Though its interior lags the times even for an economic climate cars and truck, it's difficult to argue with the Corolla's sales: Greater than 200,000 have actually been marketed through September of 2006, and that remains in the face of fresh competition through the revamped Honda Civic. That's an impressive achievement for an aging model, even one with the Corolla's exemplary reliability background.
