Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight. <p>The Toyota Corolla and Chevrolet Prizm were redesigned for the 1998 model year.</p> Dummy movement wasn't well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head leaned leftward, through the open window, and hit the B-pillar. There was too much upward movement of the steering wheel. Measures taken from the head, neck, chest, and right leg indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the left tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible. Head acceleration from the B-pillar hit was too low to record. 1998 Toyota Corolla LE 4-door 2504 front seat-mounted torso airbags 97 174 67 1.8 L 4-cylinder 28 36

New Car Test Drive Review

Summary:

Value, comfort, practicality.
By Mitch McCullough, Editor-in-Chief, NewCarTestDrive.com

The Corolla is comfortable, rugged and well built, a solid little machine that delivers what it promises. In the ride and handling department, it is better than expected. It is an excellent transportation appliance.

Corolla holds its ground well against strong competition. Budget-minded buyers who want a solid car need look no farther. Those seeking a sportier package may want to check with their Volkswagen or Honda dealers.

By shopping carefully, a customer can drive away in a nicely appointed Corolla without spending much more than $15,000. The CE model, for example, when equipped with optional side air bags and ABS, is a good buy. As such, it represents good value. Be warned, however, that a loaded Corolla intrudes into Camry territory, so a decision has to be made: Do you want a larger car with minimal extras or a smaller car loaded with everything?

Overview:

It may not attract much attention, but the Toyota Corolla is an excellent choice if you want reliable, durable, comfortable transportation. Toyota builds all of its cars to high standards of quality, even the lowly Corolla compact.

So there's nothing second-rate about this little chariot. The Toyota Corolla is the second biggest-selling car in history. Since its 1968 introduction, Toyota has sold roughly 17 million Corollas. (Volkswagen takes top honors for selling roughly 21 million Beetles.)
