2007 Toyota Corolla
Toyota Corolla 2007
Exterior & Styling
Worldwide of small cars and trucks, styling is significantly ending up being much more bold. Witness the futuristic front end of the Honda Civic as well as the brutish look of Dodge's Quality. With its unmemorable appearances, the Corolla has neither of these automobiles' blowing, which might or could not be a good idea, depending upon your tastes. (The Corolla is due for a redesign in the next few years, and-- if the redesign of Toyota's 2007 Camry is anything to pass-- may obtain a much more unique outside then.) Regardless, shutting the Corolla's doors yields an assuring "thunk" that recommends a high-end-- as opposed to an economy-- car.
All designs have standard 15-inch steel wheels, though LE designs can have 15-inch alloy wheels and also the Corolla S can have 15- or 16-inch alloy wheels. A spoiler is optional for the S.
Ride & Handling
The majority of my time behind the wheel of the Corolla was invested in Chicago's roads as well as freeways. With these roads' continuous blockage, it didn't take lengthy to discover how accomplished this vehicle is in rush hour.
Though the taut suspension does little to remove bumps and fractures, the Corolla is extremely maneuverable. The ride gets a little bit choppy on the freeway, with a great deal of backwards and forwards suspension activities, but body roll is successfully controlled when cornering. Front as well as back stabilizer bars are basic.
Going & Preventing
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 also 122 pounds-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is common and also a four-speed automatic is optional. EPA gas mileage price quotes are 32/41 mpg (city/highway) for hands-on versions; estimates drop to 30/38 with the automatic transmission.
While the Corolla's engine has dramatically lower output when compared to much of the competitors, it gives entirely appropriate performance on city and country roadways. It's only on the highway that the engine's modest power scores restrict the Corolla's performance; the automatic-transmission Corolla I examined just had a marginal quantity of power for fast death. The smooth-shifting automatic kicks down promptly when hired, however the act prompts 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 straight quiting performance. Antilock brakes are optional.
The Inside
The driving placement is a little bit cramped for motorists greater than 6 feet high, but this is due even more to absence of rearward adjustability in the motorist's seat than to the cabin being excessively small. With the vehicle driver's seat changed as best as possible for a person high, the steering wheel is a little bit of a reach, as well as it doesn't telescope to earn driving less complicated. The dashboard stereo controls are instead away. While shorter chauffeurs most likely won't experience these problems, if you're taller you'll want to pay unique focus on the cabin's comfort designs during your examination drive.
The Corolla's control panel plastic has nice-looking graining, and also the controls are logically set up. A lot of panels fit snugly with each other, and also the top-level LE version has decent-looking imitation wood trim. The LE's fabric seats as well as fabric door-panel inserts look dated when as compared to newer competitors, and that's before you think about the Corolla's premium pricing in its sector.
Even though it would certainly behave if the front seats went back further, their restricted traveling protects some area for back passengers, where legroom for the tall is restricted yet total comfort is passable. I wouldn't wish to be stuck back there for more than a few hours, though. Once again, resident size can greatly influence comfort, and also much shorter travelers might discover it entirely acceptable, also for long trips.
Security
The Corolla received a Great overall ranking in the Insurance policy Institute for Freeway Safety and security's frontal-offset collision test. It made an Appropriate total ranking in the IIHS' side-impact examination when equipped with the optional side-impact air bags for the front seats as well as front as well as rear side drape air bags. Without those $655 air bags, the Corolla's total side-impact rating drops to Poor, so you need to consider them a need.
Other optional security attributes include antilock brakes with digital brake-force circulation and also a digital stability system that's offered for automatic-transmission S and also LE models.
Cargo & Towing
The Corolla's 13.6-cubic-foot trunk is fairly huge for a small car, as well as it has a vast opening to alleviate gain access to. Folding up the common 60/40-split back seats is accomplished using 2 smartly located handles near the top of the trunk. The extensive tons flooring isn't completely flat, however; there's a ledge in between the folded seatbacks as well as the trunk floor.
Toyota says the Corolla could tow up to 1,500 pounds when effectively geared up.
Features
Cooling, a CD stereo, power-adjustable side mirrors and also a temperature gauge are standard. The S designs add rocker panels and also front as well as rear underbody spoilers to the outside and also a leather-wrapped steering wheel as well as shifter, various determines, power door locks and interior chrome trim. The high-level LE adds power windows, keyless access as well as vivid electroluminescent determines that are simple to review. Cruise ship control, a moonroof and a JBL audio system with an in-dash six-CD changer are optional.
Corolla in the Market
The Corolla is proof that-- as long as the fundamentals are there-- solid sales aren't contingent on having the latest, snazziest model. Though its interior lags the times also for an economic situation vehicle, it's hard to say with the Corolla's sales: Greater than 200,000 have actually been sold through September of 2006, which remains in the face of fresh competitors through the upgraded Honda Civic. That's an excellent accomplishment for an aging design, also one with the Corolla's exemplary reliability history.
