The 12th-generation Toyota Corolla offers impressive fuel efficiency and an abundance of standard safety features in a compact package that looks far more exciting than it is to drive. The most powerful Corolla gets a four-cylinder engine with a mere 169 horsepower that fails to accelerate the car with any verve. Other small cars such as the Honda Civic and Mazda 3 are more nimble, responsive, and peppy, which makes them considerably more engaging to drive. A vast range of models is what sets the Corolla apart from other compacts. Offered as both a sedan or hatchback, the Corolla is also sold with an incredibly fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain with front- or all-wheel drive. Adults can comfortably sit in the rear seats, making the Corolla an affordable new car for people who need a reliable people mover. Driving the Corolla won’t knock your socks off, but its efficiency and style are guaranteed to impress.
