 The Corolla has generally been a strong car. It's 
smooth, refined and suprisingly quick. The fuel 
economy is outstanding, over 37 mpg on the 
highway with an automatic. The interior is 
comfortable, although rear legroom is an issue. 
 The feature list is . . . odd. This is probably due to 
the practice of adding packages, but my wife often 
chides me for having a car with power doors and 
windows, cruise, a/c, alarm and keyless entry, but 
no tachometer or power mirrors. 
 The cruise control stalk occasionally brushes my 
knee during low speed turns, but this isn't 
dangerous. Taller drivers may encounter this 
problem.
