2004 Toyota Corolla


Last year's redesign of the front-wheel-drive sedan was small but significant. Engine result enhanced by 5 horse power, as well as a new, low-restriction catalytic converter went into the exhaust system. The automobile expanded a little. Its guiding was declared to be a lot more receptive as well as direct, and its braking a lot more specific. A higher hip point was intended to alleviate entry into the vehicle, and also the pole positions relocated farther apart.

Apart from one brand-new shade, nothing has actually transformed for 2004. Three versions are offered: the value-priced CE, high end LE and flashy S version. Corollas are generated in California and Canada.

Outside

The designing adjustments for 2003 were less than remarkable, despite the cars and truck's increased measurements. The Corolla rides a 102.4-inch wheelbase and also steps 178.3 inches long overall.

Special layout touches for the stylish S version consist of smoked fronts lights, fog lights, color-keyed bodyside moldings, front as well as rear underbody looters, as well as side rocker panels. The S car likewise includes special suspension tuning. Alternatives for the S model include a back looter and also aluminum-alloy wheels. All Corollas have 15-inch tires, but those on the LE as well as S versions are a little broader.

Interior

5 people fit inside the Corolla, which features towel upholstery and a 60/40-split back seat. Freight volume completes 13.6 cubic feet.

Basic equipment in the CE design includes a/c with a clean-air filter, power mirrors, a tilt guiding column, periodic wipers, a tachometer, an outside temperature gauge as well as a CD stereo system. The LE adds power home windows as well as locks, color-keyed power mirrors, a woodlike center instrument panel, remote keyless entrance as well as vertical chauffeur's seat height adjustment. A special cloth interior goes into the flashy S car, which includes a leather-wrapped wheel and a shape sporting activity speedometer.

Under the Hood

A 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with variable shutoff timing (VVT-i) produces 130 hp. Either a four-speed-automatic or five-speed-manual transmission can be mounted.

Safety and security

Seat-mounted side-impact air bags and also anti-skid brakes are optional. Daytime running lights are common. Dual-stage front airbags have an extra-low deployment degree for motorists who rest near the guiding wheel.

Driving Impressions

In spite of its conventional designing and somewhat high prices, the Corolla has actually long been among the most effective compacts on the marketplace. It provides a gratifying mix of fuel economic situation, improvement as well as reliability. The Corolla imparts a feeling of strength and also confidence that conceals its size.

The Corolla's performance could not stir many emotions, yet the 2004 car is adequate for common driving. Acceleration is a trifle slow-moving at start-up, however the automatic-transmission design quickly gets the rate. The engine is a bit growly while accelerating, however it quiets down well at freeway rates.

Despite the fact that the Corolla maneuvers nicely in town as well as takes contours acceptably, its handling isn't really rather as exact as that of some smaller cars. A smooth ride is still among the benefits. The pole positions have rather short bases, however they are comfortable and helpful. Backseat legroom isn't quite as appealing.
