The Weekly Driver reviewed the 2015 Toyota Corolla, which also include several minor updates. Hereโs our assessment and the brief synopsis of three additional automotive websites:
The Weekly Driverโs Final Words:
โThe 2015 Toyota Corolla has been the go-to car for ta long time for those seeking competent transportation and longevity at a fair price. The Corolla is no longer inexpensive and there are other great small sedans on the market. But there are still plenty of reasons to buy a Corolla, and itโs no surprise itโs the best selling car in history.โ
What Others Say:
โThe 2015 Toyota Corolla isnโt built to excite, but its sensible blend of fuel economy, features, versatility and value make it a compelling choice for typical small sedan shoppers.โ โ Edmunds.
โWhile the Corolla is solid, itโs not sporty or sexy or even luxurious. If youโre looking for any or all of these attributes in a compact car, we suggest the Ford Focus, Dodge Dart or Hyundai Elantra.โ โ Kelley Blue Book.
โThe controls are still laid out sensibly, and the ride is still smooth and compliant. In other words, Corolla loyalists arenโt likely to jump ship, but thereโs a lot more attitude in this redesigned model, no doubt, and Toyota hopes that will enhance the Corollaโs crossover appeal โ AutoTrader.
