2011 Toyota Corolla Columbus
The Toyota Corolla is a compact sedan known for its safety, comfort, and overall great value. The 2011 Toyota Corolla adds standard stability to its already extensive list of sought after features that have allowed the Corolla to be one of the best selling vehicles for years. Impressive fuel economy at even the base trim and a more powerful engine option available are reasons the Corolla can boast.
The Toyota Corolla is available in three trim levels: Base, LE, and S. The Base, LE, and S are all operated by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that allows for 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque. The five-speed manual transmission returns 28 miles per gallon city driving and 35 miles per gallon highway driving, with a combined miles per gallon of 30 according to the EPA. The automatic transmission carries on similar performance with 26 miles per gallon city driving and 34 miles per gallon highway driving.
The Corolla is equipped with extensive safety features, which have allowed it to perform well in federal government crash tests and be named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. Standard safety features include antilock brakes, front-seat side and full length side curtain airbags, and stability control.
Base Corollas include air conditioning, upper and lower glove compartments, 15-inch wheels, and CD/MP3 stereo as standard features. The LE trim has power door locks, power windows with driver-side auto down, cruise control, and two additional speakers. The S trim adds audio controls on the steering wheel, metallic interior trim, 16-inch steel wheels, chrome-tipped exhaust, and underbody spoilers.
Stand alone options for the LE and S trims include power tilt/sliding moonroof, hands-free phone capability, music streaming, steering wheel with Bluetooth hands-free phone controls, and overhead console with sunglasses holder and maplamps. The Premium Package is also available for the LE trim. The Premium package includes 16-inch wheels, power tilt/sliding moonroof, fog lamps, CD display function, USB port, six speakers, auxiliary audio jack, hands-free phone capability, and music streaming.
The 2011 Corolla offers a telescoping steering wheel, a feature that makes driving much more comfortable, especially for taller drivers. The interior offers plenty of space for both children and adults which results in comfortable seating. Easy to use features and plenty of storage possibilities inside the cabin both add to Corolla’s appealing interior design.
The Corolla is a staple in Toyota’s line up and will continue to be ‘The Solid Choice’.
