Overview

Have you noticed how none of those clever TV ads for the Corolla feature the saloon. Small saloons don’t sell well in the UK. Especially when they’re as ugly as this one. The runt of an otherwise great littler; a superb car till you go round the back. Toyota UK know this and only bring in a small model range for the booty diehards. However, the ride and handling are tuned for European tastes and hopefully, it’ll be as long lasting as previous Corollas.
