Having earned the trust and loyalty of motorists around
the world for generations, the sleek and reliable Toyota
Corolla Sedan enters 2002 with a string of upgrades it received
last year. Backed by a solid warranty, a reputation for
quality and longevity, and millions of accolades, it represents
one of the finest vehicles out there today and enjoys excellent
resale value.
Available Models
Ready to go for 2002 are three Toyota Corolla
Sedan models: Corolla CE, Corolla LE, and Corolla S. Each
has a seating capacity of five passengers with four-door
entry. They differ primarily in transmission, and the Corolla
S has a sportier image with upgraded luxury and convenience
features.
Interior Features
Inside the comfortable Corolla Sedan, five passengers
may be seated and comforts such as push-button air recirculation
control. The LE model features a rear view mirror with integrated
map lights, and some automatic transmission models are equipped
with rear dual cup holders plus a large center console with
armrest.
 The
Corolla S Sedan adds items such as adjustable bucket seats
with unique sport cloth upholstery, covered center console
box with integrated sunglasses holder, red illuminated instrument
cluster with tach and outside temperature gauge, and leather-look
steering wheel.
Exterior Features
The previous model year has seen the Corolla
Sedan spruced up a bit, with a new front fascia with aerodynamic
multi-reflector halogen four-beam headlights, chrome-plated
trim, lowered front bumper, and round reverse tail lights.
Corolla S turns up the volume with sleek-looking wheel
covers, black remote control mirrors, integrated fog lights,
plus color-keyed rear mudguards, front grille, protective
bodyside moldings, and rocker panel moldings.
Performance
Under the hood of the popular Corolla beats a
1.8-litre, four-cylinder, sixteen-valve, DOHC VVT-i engine
with variable valve timing, pulling together for an output
of 125 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque. The standard
transmission on the Corolle CE is five-speed manual with
optional three-speed automatic transmission. Both the LE
and S models offer optional four-speed automatic transmissions.
With an eye towards economy and the environment, the Toyota
Corolla Sedan has a fuel consumption rating of 32/41 mpg
(city/hwy) with a five-speed manual transmission. The three-speed
automatic CE checks in at 29/33 mpg (city/hwy), while the
four-speed models are rated at 30/39 mpg (city/hwy).
Safety and Security
In the interest of safety, the Toyota Corolla
features side-impact door beams; front and rear crumple
zones, and a center high-mounted stop light. Other standard
fare includes three-point seatbelts at all seating positions
with adjustable shoulder belt anchors up front, a driver
depowered air bag, passenger depowered air bag, child safety
locks, and internal emergency trunk release. Side impact
air bags are optional.
