2007 Toyota Corolla
2007 Toyota Corolla
Exterior & Styling
Worldwide of portable vehicles, designing is significantly becoming much more bold. See the advanced front end of the Honda Civic as well as the brutish appearance of Dodge's Caliber. With its unmemorable appearances, the Corolla has neither of these cars' blowing, which might or could not be a good thing, depending upon your preferences. (The Corolla schedules for a redesign in the following few years, as well as-- if the redesign of Toyota's 2007 Camry is anything to go by-- could obtain a more distinctive exterior after that.) Regardless, shutting the Corolla's doors yields a reassuring "thunk" that suggests a luxury-- as opposed to an economic situation-- vehicle.
All versions have typical 15-inch steel wheels, though LE designs can have 15-inch alloy wheels as well as the Corolla S can have 15- or 16-inch alloy wheels. A looter is optional for the S.
Ride & Handling
A lot of my time behind the wheel of the Corolla was spent on Chicago's streets and also freeways. With these roadways' continuous blockage, it really did not take lengthy to uncover just how accomplished this car remains in heavy traffic.
Though the taut suspension does little to remove bumps and also pockets, the Corolla is really maneuverable. The flight obtains a little bit choppy on the freeway, with a lot of up and down suspension activities, however body roll is efficiently controlled when cornering. Front and back stabilizer bars are common.
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 horse power and 122 pounds-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard and also a four-speed automatic is optional. EPA gas mileage price quotes are 32/41 mpg (city/highway) for manual models; quotes go down to 30/38 with the automatic transmission.
While the Corolla's engine has substantially lower result when compared to much of the competitors, it offers totally acceptable performance on city and suv roadways. It's just on the freeway that the engine's modest power rankings restrict the Corolla's performance; the automatic-transmission Corolla I tested only had a minimal amount of power for fast passing. The smooth-shifting automatic kicks down promptly when contacted, but the act causes a significant amount of engine sound as the four-cylinder ramps up the rpms.
Corollas have front-disc as well as rear-drum brakes that give linear quiting performance. Anti-skid brakes are optional.
The Inside
The driving position is a little bit confined for motorists more than 6 feet high, however this schedules even more to absence of rearward adjustability in the driver's seat than to the cabin being exceedingly little. With the vehicle driver's seat changed as best as possible for somebody tall, the steering wheel is a little bit of a reach, and it doesn't telescope to earn driving simpler. The dashboard stereo controls are instead far away. While much shorter drivers most likely won't experience these concerns, if you're taller you'll want to pay special attention to the cabin's comfort designs throughout your examination drive.
The Corolla's control panel plastic has nice-looking graining, and the controls are realistically set up. Many panels fit firmly with each other, as well as the top-level LE version has decent-looking imitation wood trim. The LE's cloth seats and also cloth door-panel inserts look and feel dated when compared with newer rivals, and that's prior to you think about the Corolla's premium pricing in its section.
Even though it would certainly be nice if the front seats went back further, their minimal travel preserves some area for back guests, where legroom for the tall is restricted but general convenience is passable. I wouldn't wish to be stuck back there for greater than a couple of hrs, though. Once more, owner dimension could mainly influence comfort, as well as much shorter guests could find it entirely acceptable, even for long trips.
Safety
The Corolla obtained a Good total rating in the Insurance policy Institute for Highway Security's frontal-offset accident test. It earned an Appropriate general score in the IIHS' side-impact test when equipped with the optional side-impact air bags for the front seats and also front and also rear side curtain air bags. Without those $655 airbags, the Corolla's overall side-impact rating goes down to Poor, so you ought to consider them a necessity.
Other optional security functions include anti-skid brakes with electronic brake-force circulation as well as a digital stability system that's readily available for automatic-transmission S as well as LE designs.
Cargo & Towing
The Corolla's 13.6-cubic-foot trunk is fairly large for a small sedan, as well as it has a wide opening to alleviate accessibility. Folding up the typical 60/40-split back seats is completed using 2 smartly positioned knobs near the top of the trunk. The extensive lots flooring isn't really entirely flat, however; there's a walk in between the folded up seatbacks as well as the trunk flooring.
Toyota states the Corolla can tow as much as 1,500 extra pounds when effectively outfitted.
Functions
Air conditioning, a CD stereo, power-adjustable side mirrors and a temperature gauge are typical. The S models add rocker panels and also front and also rear underbody spoilers to the outside as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, various evaluates, power door locks as well as interior chrome trim. The high-level LE includes power home windows, keyless access as well as lively electroluminescent evaluates that are simple to check out. Cruise ship control, a moonroof as well as a JBL stereo with an in-dash six-CD changer are optional.
Corolla in the Market
The Corolla is evidence that-- as long as the fundamentals exist-- solid sales aren't contingent on having the latest, snazziest model. Though its interior lags the moments also for an economy cars and truck, it's hard to argue with the Corolla's sales: Greater than 200,000 have actually been sold with September of 2006, which remains in the face of fresh competition in the form of the upgraded Honda Civic. That's an outstanding success for an aging design, also one with the Corolla's excellent dependability background.
