Toyota Corolla 2007
Exterior & Styling
In the world of small cars and trucks, styling is significantly coming to be extra bold. Observe the advanced front end of the Honda Civic and also the brutish look of Dodge's Quality. With its unmemorable looks, the Corolla has neither of these autos' bravado, which may or might not be a good idea, relying on your tastes. (The Corolla schedules for a redesign in the following couple of years, and-- if the redesign of Toyota's 2007 Camry is anything to go by-- could get a much more distinctive exterior after that.) Regardless, shutting the Corolla's doors produces a reassuring "thunk" that suggests a luxury-- as opposed to an economic climate-- car.
All versions have basic 15-inch steel wheels, though LE models can have 15-inch alloy wheels and the Corolla S can have 15- or 16-inch alloy wheels. A looter is optional for the S.
Ride & Handling
The majority of my time behind the wheel of the Corolla was spent on Chicago's streets as well as highways. With these roadways' perpetual congestion, it didn't take lengthy to uncover just how accomplished this car is in heavy traffic.
Though the taut suspension does little to strain bumps and craters, the Corolla is very manoeuvrable. The trip gets a bit rough on the highway, with a lot of backwards and forwards suspension motions, however body roll is efficiently regulated when cornering. Front as well as rear stabilizer bars are standard.
Going & Ceasing
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 as well as a four-speed automated is optional. EPA gas mileage estimates are 32/41 mpg (city/highway) for hand-operated models; quotes go down to 30/38 with the transmission.
While the Corolla's engine has dramatically lower result when compared to much of the competition, it gives entirely acceptable efficiency on city and suburban roadways. It's only on the highway that the engine's small power scores limit the Corolla's performance; the automatic-transmission Corolla I tested just had a very little amount of power for fast passing away. The smooth-shifting automatic kicks down promptly when hired, but the act causes a significant amount of engine noise as the four-cylinder ramps up the rpms.
Corollas have front-disc and rear-drum brakes that offer straight quiting efficiency. Anti-skid brakes are optional.
The Inside
The driving placement is a little bit confined for motorists more than 6 feet high, yet this schedules more to lack of rearward adjustability in the driver's seat than to the cabin being exceedingly small. With the vehicle driver's seat changed as best as feasible for a person tall, the steering wheel is a bit of a reach, and it does not telescope to make driving easier. The dashboard stereo controls are instead far. While much shorter motorists likely will not experience these issues, if you're taller you'll wish to pay unique focus on the cabin's functional designs during your test drive.
The Corolla's dashboard plastic has nice-looking graining, as well as the controls are logically set up. Many panels fit tightly with each other, and also the high-level LE version has decent-looking replica wood trim. The LE's fabric seats and also fabric door-panel inserts look and feel dated when as compared to more recent competitors, and that's prior to you take into consideration the Corolla's premium rates in its sector.
Even though it would be nice if the pole positions returned further, their minimal traveling protects some room for back guests, where legroom for the tall is restricted but overall comfort is satisfactory. I would not want to be stuck back there for greater than a couple of hours, though. Once again, passenger size could largely influence convenience, and shorter passengers might find it entirely appropriate, also for lengthy trips.
Safety
The Corolla obtained an Excellent total rating in the Insurance Institute for Freeway Security's frontal-offset crash test. It earned an Acceptable overall score in the IIHS' side-impact test when outfitted with the optional side-impact airbags for the pole positions as well as front and back side curtain airbags. Without those $655 air bags, the Corolla's overall side-impact rating goes down to Poor, so you must consider them a requirement.
Other optional safety and security attributes consist of antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and also a digital stability system that's offered for automatic-transmission S and LE models.
Freight & Towing
The Corolla's 13.6-cubic-foot trunk is reasonably big for a portable sedan, and it has a wide opening to relieve gain access to. Folding up the common 60/40-split rear seats is accomplished by utilizing two wisely positioned handles near the top of the trunk. The extensive load flooring isn't really completely flat, however; there's a step in between the folded seatbacks as well as the trunk floor.
Toyota says the Corolla can tow up to 1,500 pounds when properly geared up.
Features
A/c, a CD stereo, power-adjustable side mirrors as well as a temperature level scale are standard. The S designs add rocker panels as well as front as well as back underbody looters to the exterior as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel as well as shifter, different determines, power door locks and also interior chrome trim. The high-level LE includes power home windows, keyless entry and vivid electroluminescent evaluates that are simple to read. Cruise ship control, a moonroof as well as a JBL stereo with an in-dash six-CD changer are optional.
Corolla in the marketplace
The Corolla is proof that-- as long as the essentials exist-- strong sales typically aren't contingent on having the latest, snazziest model. Though its inside is behind the times also for an economic situation cars and truck, it's difficult to suggest with the Corolla's sales: Greater than 200,000 have been offered with September of 2006, and that remains in the face of fresh competitors through the revamped Honda Civic. That's an excellent achievement for an aging version, even one with the Corolla's exemplary integrity history.
