Vehicle Summary
Unlike Honda when it redesigned its Civic small car a few years ago, Toyota didn't take any chances with the redesign of its Corolla for 2009. The new sedan looks a lot like its predecessor, but it does receive more standard safety features and can now be equipped with a more powerful four-cylinder engine. New Corollas hit dealerships in February 2008 and compete against the Chevrolet Cobalt, Ford Focus and Mazda3 in addition to the Civic.
