How we tested the 2018 Toyota Corolla
Best Features
No other compact sedan offers the safety features of the Toyota Corolla. The Safety Sense-P package includes pre-alert, adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning and automatic high beams. The set is standard for all models.
For an entry-level compact car, the 2018 Toyota Corolla offers a very nice interior. The elegant design of the dashboard, the use of soft, pleasant-to-touch materials and high-quality plastic add coziness.
Driving impressions
Daredevils aside, most people will love the Toyota Corolla. The ride is soft without unnecessary angularity, and the steering offers good feedback. Visibility has become the sedan's strong point, as has the comfort of the front seats. The Corolla can't match the Mazda3 or Honda Civic in terms of performance, but the SE model offers more athletic styling thanks to a sport-tuned suspension and six-speed manual transmission. The base four-cylinder engine offers 99 horsepower. It will not impress with power or ability to withstand loads. Meanwhile, the variator, which squeezes the maximum out of the engine, adds to the positive impressions. There will be a lot of noise when the throttle is wide open, but the 2021 Toyota Corolla's interior is still cozy.
