2008 Toyota Corolla Review

What reviewers liked most
"...performance is lively and fuel economy -- always a prime Corolla virtue -- is high: an estimated 30-32 in the city and 36-40 on highways." (Source: Carpoint.com)
"More features are standard this year, and even the lowly CE comes with air...a CD player, power steering, power mirrors, an outside temperature gauge, 60/40 split-folding rear seats and 15-inch wheels." (Source: Edmunds.com)
"...this new ninth-generation Corolla is an evolutionary model that carries on Toyota's tradition of producing a robust small car that acts as a great introductory model to the Toyota family." (Source: New Car Test Drive)
"The car exhibits an overall refinement that's noticeably enhanced in contrast to the previous model's." (Source: Road & Track)

Best one-liners
"It's totally appropriate to describe this new Corolla as a baby Camry, which, in turn, is in a baby Lexus. That's not a bad pedigree for any car." (Source: New Car Test Drive)
