What’s it like to drive?
Reviewers opinion
"We drive the all-new Toyota Corolla sedan in 2.0 XR trim to see if it is as sporty as it looks or if it's erred on the side of comfort. With a new 2.0-litre engine and 60% stiffer chassis, all the ingredients are there for a sporty package and engaging drive, but how does it fare?"
