The Toyota Corolla has been one of the country’s best selling vehicles for decades. Toyota must be doing something right.
For 2010, the Toyota Corolla continues to do and be all of the right things that make it so popular. Its dependability, economy and intelligent design will continue to garner good reviews and dedicated fans.
When it comes to reliable transportation, the Toyota Corolla is still near the top of its class. There are five models to choose from – base, S, LE, XLE and XRS.
With a 1.8-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine with dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) standard in all but the XRS trim, the 2010 Corolla delivers the impressive fuel economy drivers have come to expect, but with a more responsive ride than most compact sedans deliver. EPA estimates put those mileage numbers for the 1.8-liter with a five-speed manual transmission at 26 mpg city and 35 mpg highway. The Corolla’s controls are thoughtfully configured, and its acceleration, handling and overall comfort also are solid.
If you would like something just a little more assertive, Toyota offers the 2010 Corolla with a 2.4-liter DOHC dual-VVT-i four-cylinder engine that develops 158 hp and 162 lb/ft of torque. This upgrade is offered in the sport-themed Corolla XRS model, which also delivers sharper steering and comes with larger wheels and a front strut tower brace for more responsive handling.
The 2010 Toyota Corolla base model comes with standard air conditioning, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, power mirrors and an MP3/WMA-capable CD audio system with auxiliary jack. It sits on 15-inch wheels.
Step up to the LE model and you gain power windows and locks, and body-colored exterior mirrors. The S trim offers LE equipment upgrades as available options. However, the Corolla S comes with sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and extra speakers, along with 16-inch steel wheels, underbody spoilers and foglights.
The Corolla XLE gets you the 16-inch wheels and an upgraded stereo, and additional creature comforts including a sliding center armrest, wood-grain trim, electroluminescent gauges, variable intermittent wipers and keyless entry.
The XRS model comes with a larger engine, sport-tuned suspension and steering, 17-inch alloy wheels, a rear deck spoiler and chrome interior trim. Cruise control, which is an option on other models, comes standard on the XRS.
Standard safety equipment on all models of the Corolla includes front-seat side airbags, full-length side-curtain airbags, active head restraints, antilock brakes and the all-important Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRAC).
Government safety testing showed good results with the Corolla earning four out of five stars for protecting passengers in frontal collisions; even better for side impacts, where the Corolla earned a perfect five stars for protecting front passengers and four stars for rear-seat passengers. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gives the Corolla its top score of “Good” for protection in frontal-offset and side-impact collisions.
In keeping with the overall theme, the interior of the 2010 Toyota Corolla is comfortable and convenient. The newly standard telescoping steering wheel––which was not available on prior-year models—provides drivers of all sizes with added comfort. The control layout is intuitive, and the rear seat provides good comfort for both children and adult passengers. The 12.3 cubic foot trunk has a conveniently wide opening, and a double glovebox up front offers additional storage.
The 2010 Toyota Corolla (MSRP starting at $15,350) continues to offer great satisfaction as a quiet, economical and reliable car. Call us soon to arrange your test drive.
