2004 Toyota Corolla
Toyota Corolla 2004
Last year's redesign of the front-wheel-drive car was modest but meaningful. Engine outcome boosted by 5 horsepower, as well as a brand-new, low-restriction catalytic converter entered into the exhaust system. The automobile grew a little. Its guiding was claimed to be extra responsive and also straight, as well as its stopping much more accurate. A higher hip point was expected to reduce entry right into the automobile, and the front seats relocated further apart.
Apart from one brand-new color, nothing has transformed for 2004. Three variations are available: the value-priced CE, upscale LE and also flashy S version. Corollas are generated in The golden state and Canada.
Outside
The designing modifications for 2003 were less than significant, regardless of the vehicle's boosted dimensions. The Corolla rides a 102.4-inch wheelbase and also actions 178.3 inches long generally.
Special design touches for the stylish S variation consist of smoked fronts lights, fog lights, color-keyed bodyside moldings, front and also rear underbody spoilers, and also side rocker panels. The S sedan additionally features unique suspension tuning. Alternatives for the S version include a back spoiler as well as aluminum-alloy wheels. All Corollas have 15-inch tires, yet those on the LE and also S models are slightly broader.
Interior
Five people fit inside the Corolla, which includes cloth upholstery and also a 60/40-split rear seat. Cargo quantity completes 13.6 cubic feet.
Basic devices in the CE version consists of air conditioning with a clean-air filter, power mirrors, a tilt guiding column, periodic wipers, a tachometer, an outside temperature level gauge and also a CD stereo. The LE includes power windows and locks, color-keyed power mirrors, a woodlike facility cockpit console, remote keyless access and also upright motorist's seat elevation change. An unique towel interior enters into the stylish S sedan, which features a leather-wrapped steering wheel and also a shape sport speedometer.
Under the Hood
A 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing (VVT-i) produces 130 hp. Either a four-speed-automatic or five-speed-manual transmission can be installed.
Safety
Seat-mounted side-impact air bags and also antilock brakes are optional. Daytime running lights are common. Dual-stage front air bags have an extra-low deployment level for chauffeurs that sit near the steering wheel.
Driving Impacts
In spite of its traditional styling and also somewhat high costs, the Corolla has long been one of the best compacts on the marketplace. It delivers a gratifying mix of gas economic climate, improvement and also integrity. The Corolla imparts a feeling of solidity and self-confidence that conceals its dimension.
The Corolla's performance may not stir lots of feelings, yet the 2004 car is adequate for average driving. Acceleration is a trifle slow at start-up, however the automatic-transmission model swiftly gets the rate. The engine is a little growly while increasing, yet it quiets down perfectly at highway rates.
Even though the Corolla maneuvers neatly in the area and also takes curves acceptably, its handling isn't rather as exact as that of some smaller sized cars. A smooth flight is still one of the advantages. The front seats have somewhat brief bases, however they fit and also encouraging. Rear seat legroom isn't quite as enticing.
