Driving Experience
Includes acceleration and handling
What Owners Say
"The acceleration & the braking is very responsive to the touch. I can turn on a dime also."
Anonymous, VA (2001 Toyota Corolla)"The car is very light and for the lower power it has decent acceleration - sufficient for day-to-day driving and it will also will not get you in trouble. Handling is predictable (especially in the dry), and easily managed, even in case of hydroplaning, it is easy to recover. In the wet sometimes it is hard to know where the traction is - it may break loose without much warding on few occasions (but again, easily recoverable). Perfectly fine in turns, definitely body roll in harder cornering but it feels light and let's you know what it's doing. Braking is ok. These comments are made in mind that this is an older economy car with all original suspension components."

Barbara F., PA (2001 Toyota Corolla)"fun to drive"
Dale C., FL (2001 Toyota Corolla)"This is a basic economy car. It handles with a fairly loose feel and has adequate acceleration for a small engine"
James P., PA (2001 Toyota Corolla)"It handles very nicely and responds to acceleration when needed."
Anonymous, VA (2001 Toyota Corolla)"I bought the Corolla because it drives more like a sports car than a sedan. Now that we have put in new tires and brakes, it is back to its sporty performance again!"
Greg A., NE (2001 Toyota Corolla)"The engine now lacks power, sometimes more than other. It really needs an overhaul or replacement, that is just not in our budget. Still, it is still running with over three hundred thousand miles. The transmission was replaced a little before two hundred thousand."
