Driving Impression

The steering is responsive for its weight and size. The suspension gives the Corolla a little body roll in the corners.  It’s a great commuter car for use around town, but I wouldn’t want to use as a primary family vehicle.

The Corolla has a 1.8-liter four cylinder 132 horsepower and 128 lb-ft.  The Corolla has a CVT with Shift mode.  

 The “S” has Normal and Sport driving modes, which gives the vehicle sports like feel.   The EPA rating is 32 MPG combined and 37 highway.
