Once Australia’s most popular car, the iconic Toyota Corolla has since dropped down the best-selling charts in favour of the more popular dual-cab utes. However the latest Toyota Corolla has received high praise from all corners of the motoring industry, plauding its well-refined ride and handling, its punchy naturally aspirated engine and its progressive styling features. Prices range from $22,870 for the Ascent Sport Manual to the $30,370 ZR Auto. The Corolla’s competition is wide, with the small hatchback battling the Volkswagen Golf, Kia Cerato, Mazda 3, Hyundai i30 and Ford Focus for sales.
