Toyota Corolla: Still One of America's Most Trusted Cars
A carryover from the previous year, 2005, the 2006 Toyota
Corolla is a four-door, 5-passenger family sedan, or sports
sedan. It is made available in four trims, which ranges from the
CE to the XRS. When this vehicle was introduced, the CE has been
equipped with a standard 1.8 liter, I4, 126-horsepower engine
that has the capability to achieve 32-mpg when in the city, and
41-mpg if driving on the highway. Standard for the line is a
5-speed manual transmission with overdrive, however, a 4-speed
automatic transmission with drive is optional. For the XRS, this
trim has been equipped with a standard 1.8 liter, I4,
164-horsepower engine that is able to attain 26-mpg during city
driving and 34-mpg while on the highway. Standard for this trim
is the 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
The newest Toyota Corolla comes in one body style. This is a
four-door sedan. The Toyota Corolla comes with the standard of
15-inch steel wheels, however, it still could make do with
larger wheels and tires that would fill out the wheels well more
than what it has now. Options for LE models are the aluminum
15-inch wheels. This sedan has a high trunk to be able to keep
up with the vehicle's high belt line.
According to Jim Lentz, Toyota Division group vice president and
general manager, "Corolla has become the world's favorite
compact car by exceeding customers' expectations for value,
quality, and performance in this segment. With the XRS model
introduced last year, Corolla is expanding its appeal to
younger, performance-oriented buyers."
The Toyota Corolla has taillights that perfectly
match the shape of its headlights. Getting in
and out of the automobile has been made easier with its door
openings made reasonably wide. The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) is available. An
additional plus for this model is it has a sunroof.
Within its interior, a passenger would have the feeling that not
of a small vehicle. The interior also does not feel cheap unlike
many compacts. Large and/or tall people might find the
accommodations somewhat cramped up, however shorter people would
find the Toyota Corolla's interior and space fitting them
perfectly. For average-sized adults, there is plenty of front
legroom and headroom, and a decent amount of space in the back.
