2001 toyota Corolla S

2001 Toyota Corolla S: Toyota attempts to make its front-drive Corolla more appealing to young customers by offering it a face-lift and a flashy S design. The subcompact Corolla car got a very early jump on the design year when sales of '01 designs started in May 2000.

The S design fits between the base CE and also the high end LE. In 2014's least expensive model, the VE, is gone.

Chevrolet offers a clone of the Corolla as the Prizm, which has various designing but utilizes the very same front-drive platform and mechanical elements. Both are constructed at a plant both companies share in California. Some Corollas marketed in the United States also are built in Ontario, Canada.

Toyota's present plans require the Corolla to be redesigned for the 2003 version year, when it is anticipated to obtain even more younger designing.

Exterior

This year's face-lift inclusives a new front fascia, multireflector halogen headlamps, a lower front bumper and also chrome trim, and also new taillights. The brand-new S design adds color-keyed side moldings, grille as well as back mudguards.

The Corolla is 174 inches long-- about an inch much shorter compared to the Honda Civic or Ford Focus.

Inside

The Corolla's common equipment is skimpy compared to some competitors. Cooling and also power home windows, locks as well as mirrors are optional also on the high-grade LE, which is the only model that includes a common cassette player.

All versions seat five. The S and also LE come with a remote trunk release and also a 60/40 split rear seat that broadens the trunk's freight ability to 12.1 cubic feet.

Under the Hood

All versions make use of a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 125 horse power. A five-speed manual transmission is standard across the board. A three-speed automatic is optional on the CE, and also a four-speed automated is optional on the S and LE.

Safety

Side-impact airbags are optional on all three versions, as well as anti-skid brakes are optional on the S and LE. Toyota says the bumpers can hold up against a 5-mph crash without damage-- a case some bigger vehicles and even some vehicles cannot make.

Driving Perceptions

The Corolla is just one of the excellent versions in the small-car sector, supplying an excellent mix of economy, refinement, reliability and resilience that is difficult to beat. The engine delivers stylish velocity, the trip is smooth, as well as the Corolla is quieter compared to numerous larger sedans.

Traditional designing as well as a bland image, nonetheless, have actually steered young buyers far from the Corolla to cars such as the Honda Civic, Volkswagen Jetta and also Ford Emphasis. Image aside, this is still among the most effective subcompacts on the market.
