When it comes to reliability in cars, you simply don't get any better than the Toyota Corolla. In fact, in some parts of the world, up to 80 percent of the Toyota Corollas made over the past 20 years are still on the road!
Style
The 2014 Toyota Corolla has
had a face lift, and the sleek, modern design of the new version means that the
new Corolla is not just reliable, it's also a great looking car too.
Models
There are four models in the 2014 Corolla line up. The base CE model with a 1.8-liter engine, all the basic must-haves, and optional air conditioning; the LE model, which features air conditioning, a touch screen, backup camera, and heated front seats as standard; the S, which is the sporty incarnation with sports seats, sporty interior, and a zippier ride; and the green LE ECO.
Options
The great thing about buying an established car like the Toyota Corolla is that the base of the car has been perfected over the decades, and that means that whichever model you choose, you're getting a great car.
It also means that Toyota can offer great optional extras that will enhance your driving experience.
When it comes to colors, there's something for everyone. Standard colors include white, silver, slate, black, metallic red, metallic blue, and brown sugar metallic.
Seat cover options range from fabric to leather, and the interiors of all the models feature the same high-quality plastics and trim you've come to expect from Toyota.
Performance and Handling
As you would expect from Toyota, everything about the Corolla's performance and handling is designed to be reliable and comfortable.
From the 16-valve, 1.8-liter engine in the LE model to the class leading fuel economy of the Eco, you simply cannot fault the engine performance of the Corolla brand.
Toyota has also introduced the new CVT-iS, or Continuously Variable Transmission with Intelligent Shift, which improves the gear shifting experience in the automatic LE and ECO versions. And in the S you get motor racing style paddle shifters as well.
Thanks to the MacPherson suspension, you will find that the 2014 Corolla range is also one of the smoothest rides around, while the higher spring rate gives you that same smoothness, but with a sporty edge.
Safety
One of the reasons so many families trust the Toyota Corolla is that it's got a reputation for impeccable safety, and the 2014 range is no different.
All of the models come with a total of eight airbags as standard, ventilated front discs and rear drums (with the option of rear discs on the S models), and Vehicle Stability Control.
Traction control is standard, and you also get a tire pressure monitoring system, which will warn you when your tires need more air.
Comfort
As you would expect from a Corolla, all of the models in the 2014 range are exceptionally comfortable and seat five passengers easily, with plenty of leg room.
The Verdict?
Toyota has done it again. Their 2014 Corolla range is as good as their reputation promises it will be, and whether you're in the market for a family sedan or a sporty car that will take you effortlessly from town to country, this is a great choice.
The 2014 Toyota Corolla offers possibly the best value for money out there, and like the Corollas of years gone by, it’s likely to still be on the road in 20 years time.
