Toyota Corolla 2004


Last year's redesign of the front-wheel-drive car was modest yet significant. Engine output boosted by 5 horse power, and a new, low-restriction catalytic converter entered into the exhaust system. The automobile grew a little. Its steering was asserted to be a lot more receptive and also linear, as well as its stopping a lot more accurate. A greater hip point was supposed to alleviate entry into the lorry, as well as the pole positions moved further apart.

Other than one brand-new color, nothing has actually transformed for 2004. 3 variations are available: the value-priced CE, high end LE and also stylish S version. Corollas are produced in California and also Canada.

Outside

The styling modifications for 2003 were less than remarkable, regardless of the auto's boosted measurements. The Corolla flights a 102.4-inch wheelbase and procedures 178.3 inches long in general.

Special layout touches for the sporty S variation consist of smoked fronts lights, fog lamps, color-keyed bodyside moldings, front and rear underbody looters, and also side rocker panels. The S car likewise features special suspension adjusting. Alternatives for the S design consist of a rear spoiler as well as aluminum-alloy wheels. All Corollas have 15-inch tires, however those on the LE as well as S versions are somewhat wider.

5 individuals fit inside the Corolla, which includes towel upholstery and also a 60/40-split back seat. Cargo volume completes 13.6 cubic feet.

Safety and security

Seat-mounted side-impact airbags and antilock brakes are optional. Daytime running lights are standard. Dual-stage front air bags have an extra-low implementation degree for vehicle drivers that sit close to the steering wheel.

Driving Impacts

In spite of its conventional styling and also relatively high prices, the Corolla has actually long been among the very best compacts on the marketplace. It provides a rewarding blend of fuel economy, improvement and also integrity. The Corolla conveys a feeling of strength and also confidence that belies its size.

The Corolla's performance may not mix lots of feelings, but the 2004 sedan is adequate for regular driving. Velocity is a trifle slow-moving at startup, yet the automatic-transmission version swiftly gets the rate. The engine is a bit growly while accelerating, yet it quiets down perfectly at highway speeds.

Despite the fact that the Corolla maneuvers nicely around and also takes contours acceptably, its handling isn't really quite as specific as that of some smaller cars and trucks. A smooth flight is still one of the advantages. The pole positions have rather brief bottoms, yet they fit and also supportive. Rear seat legroom isn't really fairly as attractive.
