By Ané Theron

Before hatchbacks reigned supreme, the evergreen Toyota Corolla was once the most popular choices for those in need of reliable, stylish transport and foolproof mechanics underneath the bonnet and beyond. 

"The Toyota Corolla is synonymous with the term compact sedan", says Toyota. "Launched in 1966; the Corolla nameplate has been affixed to 11 generations of Toyota vehicles. Many milestones have been achieved across a span of 52 years, including the world’s best-selling vehicle nameplate and exceeding 45 million units sold globally in 2017 – making the esteemed Corolla one of the world’s best-selling vehicles in history." 

Let's take a look at 3 of our top Toyota Corolla articles:
