What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
"Overall the Corolla Quest is very comfortable on the road. It glides over all types of asphalt effortlessly and quietly. Turning the steering wheel is simpler than breathing, and braking brings the Quest to a stop on a dime.
The test car was equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission, which has its pros and cons. Compared to the CVT automatic, one can realistically expect less whining from the manual variant and more controlled shifting between gears."

What is the Toyota Corolla Quest like inside?
The Corolla Quest is offered in three distinct trim levels; Plus, Prestige, and Exclusive. Plus models feature stylish cloth upholstery while the Prestige wears a combinations of fabric and leather. The Exclusive trim will give you the full leather treatment. Prestige models get a DVD touchscreen infotainments system while Exclusive models add to that by including automated climate control, rain sensing wipers and LED headlights.
Style
When the 11th generation Corolla was replaced, Toyota took the outgoing model and reworked it ever so slightly to ensure that customers still get the QDR (quality, durability, and reliability) that the Corolla is known for, but at a lower price. This means that some trimmings were changed but the Quest still resembles the 11th generation with narrow headlights, a straked front bumper and handsome proportions. The bi-colour taillamps wrap around the rear corners for a 3D effect and excellent visibility in poor lighting conditions.
