Toyota Corolla - Dependable

The 2010 Toyota Corolla is a comfortable and fuel efficient option for those who want dependability, comfort and value. Although it doesn't have the versatility, style or power of the top scoring cars in the class, it's a quick that most will say you can't go wrong with. The 2010 Corolla is a front wheel drive sedan available in five trims. Redesigned for the 2009 model year, it added a 2.4-liter engine option and standard anti lock brakes.

The Corolla otherwise carries over virtually unchanged for the 2010 model year, but adds standard stability control for all trims. On a side note, the Corolla was also part of the massive Toyota accelerator pedal recall for 2009 and 2010. Part of the 2009 redesign of the Corolla included improvements to the powertrain and chassis, but the vehicle is not as sporty as the high scoring Honda Civic, nor is it as nimble. The Corolla's base engine is a 1.8-liter four cylinder that makes 132 horsepower that's good enough for those drivers more concerned with gas mileage than power.
