2007 Toyota Corolla For Sale


Exterior & Styling

In the world of small cars, styling is increasingly ending up being more bold. Observe the futuristic front end of the Honda Civic and also the brutish appearance of Dodge's Quality. With its unmemorable looks, the Corolla has neither of these vehicles' blowing, which might or might not be a good thing, depending on your tastes. (The Corolla is due for a redesign in the next couple of years, and also-- if the redesign of Toyota's 2007 Camry is anything to go by-- could obtain a much more distinctive outside after that.) No matter, closing the Corolla's doors produces an assuring "thunk" that suggests a high-end-- instead of an economic climate-- automobile.

All versions have conventional 15-inch steel wheels, though LE versions could have 15-inch alloy wheels and the Corolla S can have 15- or 16-inch alloy wheels. A spoiler is optional for the S.

Flight & Handling

The majority of my time behind the wheel of the Corolla was spent on Chicago's roads and freeways. With these roads' perpetual blockage, it really did not take lengthy to find just how accomplished this auto remains in heavy traffic.

Though the tight suspension does little to strain bumps as well as craters, the Corolla is extremely maneuverable. The ride obtains a little bit choppy on the highway, with a lot of backwards and forwards suspension activities, but body roll is efficiently regulated when cornering. Front and also rear stabilizer bars are common.

Going & Stopping

With the discontinuation of the high-output XRS, the sole 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 common as well as a four-speed automatic is optional. EPA gas mileage estimates are 32/41 mpg (city/highway) for hand-operated versions; quotes drop to 30/38 with the transmission.

While the Corolla's engine has significantly lower output when compared to much of the competitors, it offers totally appropriate efficiency on city as well as suburban roads. It's just on the highway that the engine's modest power rankings limit the Corolla's efficiency; the automatic-transmission Corolla I tested just had a marginal amount of power for quick death. The smooth-shifting automated kicks down swiftly when called upon, yet the act causes a substantial amount of engine sound as the four-cylinder ramps up the rpms.

Corollas have front-disc and also rear-drum brakes that provide direct stopping performance. Anti-skid brakes are optional.

The Within

The driving placement is a bit confined for motorists more than 6 feet high, however this schedules more to lack of rearward adjustability in the driver's seat than to the cabin being excessively small. With the driver's seat adjusted as best as possible for a person high, the steering wheel is a little bit of a reach, and also it doesn't telescope to make driving easier. The control panel stereo controls are rather away. While much shorter drivers likely will not experience these issues, if you're taller you'll wish to pay special attention to the cabin's comfort designs throughout your test drive.

The Corolla's dashboard plastic has nice-looking graining, and also the controls are practically organized. Many panels fit tightly with each other, and also the top-level LE design has decent-looking imitation wood trim. The LE's fabric seats and fabric door-panel inserts feel and look dated when compared to more recent rivals, which's before you take into consideration the Corolla's premium pricing in its section.

Despite the fact that it would behave if the front seats returned farther, their limited traveling maintains some room for rear guests, where legroom for the high is restricted however general convenience is passable. I wouldn't want to be stuck back there for greater than a couple of hours, though. Once more, occupant size can mostly affect convenience, as well as much shorter guests may locate it totally appropriate, even for long journeys.

Safety and security

The Corolla received a Good general score in the Insurance Institute for Freeway Safety and security's frontal-offset accident test. It made an Appropriate total score in the IIHS' side-impact test when geared up with the optional side-impact air bags for the pole positions and also front and back side curtain air bags. Without those $655 air bags, the Corolla's overall side-impact rating drops to Poor, so you must consider them a need.

Other optional safety features include antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution as well as a digital stability system that's readily available for automatic-transmission S and also LE models.

Freight & Towing

The Corolla's 13.6-cubic-foot trunk is fairly large for a portable car, and also it has a large opening to reduce access. Folding the standard 60/40-split rear seats is completed using two smartly positioned handles near the top of the trunk. The prolonged load floor isn't really entirely flat, however; there's a step between the folded seatbacks as well as the trunk flooring.

Toyota claims the Corolla could tow approximately 1,500 pounds when correctly geared up.

Features

A/c, a CD stereo, power-adjustable side mirrors and a temperature level scale are basic. The S designs add rocker panels and also front as well as rear underbody spoilers to the outside as well as a leather-wrapped wheel and also shifter, various gauges, power door locks as well as interior chrome trim. The top-level LE adds power windows, keyless access and also vibrant electroluminescent determines that are simple to check out. Cruise control, a moonroof and a JBL audio system with an in-dash six-CD changer are optional.

Corolla in the marketplace

The Corolla is proof that-- as long as the fundamentals exist-- strong sales typically aren't subject to having the most recent, snazziest model. Though its interior is behind the moments even for an economic climate auto, it's difficult to argue with the Corolla's sales: More than 200,000 have actually been marketed with September of 2006, which remains in the face of fresh competition in the form of the upgraded Honda Civic. That's a remarkable accomplishment for an aging model, even one with the Corolla's excellent dependability background.
