The model
Read full Toyota Corolla reviewAll things considered, the Corolla is a brilliant family car. It's comfortable, well made, well equipped and remarkably frugal in real-world driving.

The trim

The engine
See full engine specsWith 138bhp at its disposal, the 1.8 has a 0-62mph time of 9.2sec, and has enough performance for everyday driving without needing to mash the accelerator into the carpet. It’s the best version based on price, performance and efficiency.
