The 2010 Toyota Corolla Is A Car You Can Depend On

Sept. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- The Corolla is one of Toyota’s most popular vehicles due to its economical price, fuel economy and reliability. It competes in the affordable small car segment with the Kia Forte and Mazda3. In terms of looks, it sports a utilitarian and practical design with a more aggressive grille and headlights than previous years models. It’s not meant to be a flashy or ostentatious vehicle but a practical and functional one and the Corolla makes no pretenses. The Corolla is one of the best-selling vehicles on the market and has a solid reputation for being extremely reliable and dependable.

All Corolla models with the exception of the XRS trim are equipped with V4  1.8 Liter engine that outputs 132 horsepower and 128 lb feet of torque. This car travels from zero to sixty in 10.1 seconds.  The XRS version features a more powerful 2.4 Liter V4 with 148 horsepower. The cabin is well insulated and wind noise is minimal even at high speeds.
The Corolla is available in five trims; base, LE, S, XLE and the top level XRS. All of the models are equipped with a steering wheel with a telescopic feature, an AC system and a CD stereo system. The base model comes with fifteen inch wheels. It’s possible to opt for the optional audio system from JBL with a cd changer and Bluetooth compatibility.

The interior is functional and well organized with ample room to seat five adult individuals and the seats are constructed out of cloth, although there is the option to upgrade to leather.  The steering wheel includes a telescoping and tilt feature which means it can be adjusted to suit the individual driver.

As you would expect from Toyota, the Corolla is equipped with a large variety of safety features. There is an airbag system in place with front and rear side curtain airbags and front head restraints.  A four wheel anti-lock brake system is in place with electronic brake force distribution. Additional features include vehicle stability control and traction control.  

The Corolla would be a suitable choice if you are looking for an affordable and practical small sedan. In terms of reliability, the Corolla earned an 8 on a scale of 1-10 from JD Power and Associates on the Predicted Reliability rating which is pretty hard to beat. This is the perfect car for someone who wants a practical car that you can depend on to last for many years to come plus it’s affordable.  With a starting price of around fifteen thousand dollars, the Corolla is competitively priced for its class and brings a lot of value to the table.
