2016 Toyota Corolla S Plus

The 2016 Corolla is a compact sedan that takes on the Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra, and Ford Focus in the ever-competitive economy car class. The steering is light and the ride is composed, making the Corolla an easy car to live with day to day, though it is not a sporty drive. Inside, the cabin is roomy for the class, with a spacious back seat and a trunk that expands when the 60/40 split-folding rear seats drop down. Standard tech includes a touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, and available Toyota Safety Sense adds pre-collision warning and lane-departure alert. The S Plus adds sporty styling cues like a rear spoiler and mesh grille over the LE, plus paddle shifters for the automatic transmission. Its 1.8L I4 makes 132 horsepower and pairs with the automatic transmission and two-wheel drive, returning 32 mpg combined.
