Flashback Friday: Toyota Corolla

By Lance Manins | Driveline | 16 December 2016 | Posted in News

There is something about the Toyota Corolla which makes it world’s best selling car. In the first six months of 2016, it has already sold 634,298 units. People who drive Corollas say that you just can’t beat their reliability.

 

The origins of the Corolla go back 11 generations, all the way to 1966.

It was available as a 2/4 door sedan, or a 2 door coupe and station wagon. With a 1.1L and 1.2L, it came with four speed manual and two speed automatic transmission. If you really put the accelerator down, you could max out the speed at 140km/h.

Here are a few more of the specs

Wheelbase: 2,286mm

Length: 3,848mm

Width: 1,491mm

Height: 1,379mm

Weight: 720kg

 

Now
It’s fair to say that the 2016 Toyota Corolla is more comfortable, better designed and engineered than ever before. Available in eleven different models from Hatch to Hybrid, it continues to deliver on the reliability everyone has come to expect with Toyota.
