W
ith its standard 4-cylinder engine, reviewers say the
Toyota Corolla has adequate power for everyday driving, but its acceleration isn’t particularly brisk. A sixspeed manual transmission is standard and an automatic is
optional. At up to an EPA-estimated 29/38 mpg city/highway,
the 2015 Corolla gets good fuel economy for the class. Corolla
LE Eco models offer even better fuel economy with up to 30/42
mpg. Most test drivers agree that dull steering and excessive
body roll through turns mean the Corolla isn’t fun to drive. However, they praise the Corolla’s comfortable ride.
Test drivers say it’s dashboard is constructed with upscale
materials, though a few critics find fault with some hard plastic
surfaces. The Corolla’s front seats are comfortable, and there
is an impressive amount of rear-seat legroom, according to
test drivers. The Corolla’s trunk space is about average, though
reviewers say its large opening makes it easy to load and unload
cargo. Bluetooth and a USB port are standard. Optional features
include a rear-view camera, proximity key, navigation and Toyota’s Entune infotainment system with a 6.1-inch touch screen.
