The very popular Toyota Corolla is back without any significant changes this year. All trims (CE, S and LE) of the Japanese sedan use a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine developing 132 horsepower and 128 lbs.-ft. of torque. It comes factory standard with a 5-speed manual transmission but there’s also an optional 4-speed automatic if you’re so inclined. Note that the XRS and its 2.4L engine have gone the way of the dodo.
