The 2017 Corolla is a dependable and unflashy small sedan. It has good fuel economy and a comfortable interior. While it could add more power to the engine, it is a fantastic basic starter car.
Pros and Features. The 2017 Toyota Corolla takes comfort into consideration, providing a lot of rear legroom. Its backseat is nice and roomy even for adults. The built-in infotainment interface has remarkably user-friendly controls.
The LE Eco model has amazing high fuel economy. Additionally, a lot of standard equipment is also available. All in all, it has a pleasant ride quality both on the highway and in the city.
The Corolla now has better available safety equipment. It is also a better value for money. LED headlights are now also a standard.
Cons. Unlike its main rivals, Corolla has a slow acceleration. In addition, many of its latest accident avoidance features are not yet available.
It also fails to inspire much driving excitement. Its L model also comes with an outdated four-speed automatic transmission. It could really use a little more power. It is also uncomfortable for taller passengers due to its tight head room.
