Toyota Corolla Review

Have you any clue on which is the world’s best selling car? It’s none other then the tried tested and trusted Toyota Corolla. This car has proven to be the most problem free and practical rides in modern times. The fact that it is the most popular car in all regions of the globe testifies to the worth of this car. When it comes to building a reputation as a car no one can beat the strong reputation that Toyota Corolla has made for itself. Immediately after entering the market it took it’s competitors by storm becoming the most favored vehicle in India.

The latest Corolla has arrived on the scene which at a first glance seems quite like its predecessor. Closer observations reveal the subtle changes that make this corolla an even hotter buy. The front end sports a new bumper that has fog lights integrated into it. This feature compliments the new grille and in terms of design this is the most strikingly different feature that the new Corolla. The headlamps on the new Corolla are clear and the rear features redesigned tail lamps which add the look of the car.

More significant however are the upgrades on the interior. The fabrics on the seat and trims have been changed and the upgraded version comes with perforated leather. The driver’s side has an adjustable lumbar support which is a new feature. All except the base model feature mock wood paneling. The six CD MP3 players can be controlled with the navigation audio controls on the steering which has been specially designed for this version of the Corolla. Furthermore the car has automatic headlamps that switch off after the sun sets. Plus the car has a key less entry system with a security alarm system.

Under the hood the Corolla conceals the same super 1.8 liter VVT-I engine. The bonnet and doors have been doubly sealed with the addition of new insulations. The overall car is a much more resolved and refined version of its predecessor. There is however one thing that has been allowed to carry forward and that is the distinctive engine noise which one can still hear inside the cabin of the new Corolla. Other than this and the crude gearbox Toyota claims to have changed all those items that were causing people problems. When it comes to the ride and handling of the Corolla it is common knowledge that this is not its greatest strength. The tubeless tires that are offered in this new version do help to keep the car grounded and stable even at high speeds.
