Toyotas Corolla 1.4 Adds A Splash Of Desirability To The Usual Mix. Andy Enright Reports
Being the worlds favourite car takes quite a bit of getting over. After all, nobody likes to be thought of as average. Imagine what a sterile entity youd be if you wore the worlds most popular clothing, listened to the most popular music and ate the most popular food. As you gazed out of McDonalds, listening to bland pop music and wearing your nondescript clobber, you could look forward to a drive home in something utterly unmemorable.
Alternatively you could choose a Toyota Corolla.
Value for budget, worth renting.
Dont get too worked up about the Corollas tag. It may have racked up over 28 million sales in its lifetime, but many of the earlier versions were pure automotive vanilla, the sort of personality vacuum that has latterly been reserved solely for Big Brother contestants and Euro MPs. The latest Corolla is most definitely a good thing and as a result, will probably get nowhere near its predecessors targets. Not what Toyota want to hear but great news for those looking for one of the best family hatches about.
Even the entry-level engine, the 1.4-litre VVT-i unit, has a good deal to be said for it. For a start it cranks out a respectable 95bhp. Thats a clear 16bhp more than the Ford Focus 1.
