Toyota Corolla
Latest Model
2020 Model Redesign Year
The Corolla sedan is fuel-efficient and sensible.
A more powerful 169-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, once exclusive to the higher trims and the hatchback, is now standard for all nonhybrid models and gets 36 mpg overall.
The hybrid version is a sensible choice, with its incredible 48 mpg overall, although the continuously variable transmission amplifies engine noise.
All-wheel drive is available.
It also gets Toyota's latest infotainment system.
The Corolla's handling agility is among the better in the compact-car class, as are ride comfort and cabin quietness.

2020-Present
2020 Model Redesign Year
The redesigned Corolla sedan is fuel efficient, but the new styling has compromised the rear seat room and made it harder to get in or out of, because of its lower stance and curvier body.
The hybrid version gets an impressive 48 mpg overall.
Both the hybrid and the 1.8-liter engine accelerate leisurely, and the continuously variable transmission amplifies engine noise.
A more powerful 169-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder comes on the higher trim lines and on the hatchback.
Toyota improved the Corolla's handling agility without sacrificing ride quality.
The controls are easy to use and Apple CarPlay compatibility is standard.

2014-2019
2014 Model Redesign Year
The 2014 Corolla grew in size, but continued to return a frugal 32 mpg overall.
Interior room rivals some midsized sedans with a roomy rear seat.
Ride comfort is commendable and handling is responsive.
The continuously variable transmission (CVT) amplifies engine drone when climbing hills or merging, but is unobtrusive in ordinary everyday loafing around.
The controls are simple and you get a touchscreen infotainment system, as well as all of the latest in connectivity.
Automatic climate control comes standard on LE and above trims; this convenience is unusual in this class.

2009-2013
2009 Model Redesign Year
Redesigned for 2009, the Corolla grew a bit larger and acquired a significantly quieter and more economical 1.8-liter four-cylinder.
Side curtain airbags became standard and provided much better crash protection than older Corolla models.
Stability control became standard in 2010.
Engines and transmissions operate smoothly, while the car gets a commendable 32 mpg.
The ride is relatively comfortable and handling is secure but uninspiring.
Although the interior is humdrum, easy to use controls and a relatively roomy cabin give the Corolla an edge over other small sedans.

2003-2008
2003 Model Redesign Year
Historically, the Corolla has hit the small sedan sweet spot of practical size, good performance, and admirable fuel economy.
As long as you're not looking for a fun-to-drive driving experience, the Corolla is a solid choice.
It's one of the quietest in its class, but engine drone can sometimes be pronounced.
Expect 29 mpg overall.
While ride quality is absorbent and unobtrusive, handling is uninspiring -- though secure.
The cabin offers good access and a decent rear seat, but the driving position is a bit compromised due to a steering wheel that's too far away.

1998-2002
The Corolla's handling is safe and predictable--though not particularly nimble--in our tests.
The Corolla was redesigned for 1998, and the 1.8-liter engine became standard across the board.
Some 1998 models were fitted with a front stabilizer bar that improved the car's sloppy emergency handling; this piece became standard in 1999.
The Corolla's front seats are firm and supportive, but the rear is snug.
