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:

An excellent transportation appliance.
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:

Toyota's Corolla is one of the most trusted vehicles sold in the U.S. Many choose it as their first new car, and with good reason. For more than three decades, the Corolla has earned a reputation for delivering reliable, durable, and comfortable transportation. Every Toyota vehicle sold, from the entry-level Echo to the premium Lexus sedans and SUVs, is built to an extremely high standard. If you pay a little extra for a Toyota, that's what you're getting in return.

Changes for 2001 include a realigned product mix. The base Corolla is now the CE, followed by a new S version and topping out with the LE model. The S version comes with standard fog lamps, color-keyed body side moldings, door handles, and front grill, a leather-like wrap for the steering wheel, and a few other touches that imply sportiness. It receives no mechanical or performance-minded upgrades.
