Toyota Corolla 2011

Toyota’s evergreen compact nets subtle changes for 2011. There’s a new grille, trunk lid and redesigned taillights. Electric-assist power steering has been re-tuned for improved feel and feedback. Deluxe USB and CAD Continental audio are new sound choices, and interior trim and fabric colors have been tweaked for a freshened look. Otherwise, the Corolla maintains the status quo by delivering basic transportation with the Toyota tenets of quality, durability and reliability. The base 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine is stingy with fuel whether coupled to a standard 5-speed manual or optional 4-speed automatic transmission. Those seeking a dash of sport can select the XRS model fitted with a more powerful 2.4-liter four, 17-inch alloys and cosmetic flourishes.
