2013 Toyota Corolla Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | The Corolla's specs indicate rear legroom worthy of a large sedan, 41.3 inches, a substantial four more than in the Sentra and five more than in last year's Corolla. To provide this increase, Toyota stretched the car's wheelbase by four inches, taking it from the shortest in the segment to the 106.3-inch dimension shared by the Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, and Nissan. The Ford Focus, with a 104.3-inch wheelbase, is now the briefest of the bunch. The Corolla's overall length has also grown by four inches, to 182.6. Subjectively, the Corolla's advantage over the Sentra seems about half as large. Still a lot of legroom for a compact, especially in conjunction with a more comfortably positioned seat. Rear seat headroom is in much shorter supply in both cars. see full Toyota Corolla review |

2013 Toyota Corolla Powertrain: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The CVT makes the most of the 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine's nearly segment-trailing 132-horsepower (the Sentra is in the same boat, with 130). A 2,865-pound curb weight, similar to those of the Civic and Sentra but lighter than most others, helps. But, while thrust with an open throttle is easily adequate, there's no stronger option for thrill-seekers. Toyota offers no engine to compete with the 173-horsepower 2.0-liter in the Forte, much less the 184-horsepower 2.5-liter in the Mazda3. But then neither does Nissan. What the Sentra does offer is a more refined CVT. The power delivery of the Toyota's powertrain sometimes feels a littly lumpy. In its favor, the Corolla's CVT mimics a conventional seven-speed automatic when in sport mode. So the rubber band, slipping clutch effect typical of these transmissions can be avoided. see full Toyota Corolla review |

They try to moderate the price you pay in power by gearing if you press the accelerator all the way but the gear ratios are not smooth. see full Toyota Corolla review |
