| Road Test |
The 2010 Toyota Corolla is a car with two different personalities: There’s the base model for budget-conscious buyers and the sporty Corolla XRS for those after a little flair. Comparing both models with their prime rival, the Honda Civic, the base Corolla falls a little short in the performance and styling departments. The XRS does a better job, especially when it comes to power and handling, but loses out to the competition on price.
While the current Corolla is much more attractive than previous generations, one of the car’s biggest drawbacks remains its inability to excite the visual senses. The Corolla lacks the sporty and modern panache of many of its rivals, but this may be ideal for those who don’t want to stand out from the crowd.
