2003 Toyota Corolla
The 2003 Toyota Corolla is a subcompact 4-door sedan
that continues to be popular year after year. 2003 shouldn't
be an exception to this rule. A redesign has added 5.4
inches to wheelbase while the engine has also undergone
been tweaked and has a few horsepower more.
The Corolla is a good, affordable and comfortable car
with slow depreciation making it a good choice for young
people with families who need something reliable depend
on.
Under the Hood
A 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine powers all the Corolla
models and a choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic
transmissions are offered. This hardy little motor cranks
out 130 hp at 6000 rpm and produces 125 lb-ft of torque
at 4200 rpm. The fuel efficiency is great, with the
manual transmission testing at 32/40 mpg (city/hwy),
while the automatic is similar at 30/38 mpg.
Safety features on the base model CE include dual front
airbags and daytime running lights. Front-side airbags
and antilock brakes are optional but available.

The distinctions between the Corolla trim levels, represented
by the CE, S and LE models are as follows: They all

player, front bucket seats, A/C, rear defogger, variable
intermittent wipers, power mirrors and steering, a center

trunk release, and tilt steering.
An upgrade to the S edition adds a leather-wrapped
steering wheel and power door locks, as well as a height-adjustable
driver seat and map lights. Finally, the LE has remote
keyless entry and power windows.
The optional add-ons are a wellspring of additional
luxuries. The Sport Plus Package includes alloy wheels

upholstery, cruise control and leather wrapped steering
wheel. Extremes of temperature are also accounted for.
