A solid economy sedan that many will purchase on the basis of name alone. Next to its peers, though, the Corolla costs too much and lacks personality.
Pros
Refined and roomy interior, excellent gas mileage and crash test scores, long list of safety features, spunky XRS model, illustrious reliability record.
Cons
Awkward driver-seat position, bland personality, gets pricey when even basic features are desired, sedan body style only.
