The 2008 Toyota Corolla delivers easy handling and good fuel economy at a low initial cost. The Washington Post recommends the Corolla because “through all of its model changes, the Corolla remained true to the notion of impeccable automotive quality delivered at reasonable cost.” The Corolla’s role in the affordable small car class is highlighted by the New York Times, which says, “Toyotas have been so reliable, it has forced American manufacturers to improve the quality of their offerings.”

Corolla with its superior design and features are fully loaded with luxurious interior. Interiors of corolla include leather upholstery, two tone color scheme, wood grain central console, lumbar support, elevated seating, superior cooling, 6 CD play audio system, premium sound, audio controls on steering wheel etc. The safety features for corolla include dependable airbags, collision test, safe brake pedal design, 3 point ELR/ALR seat belts etc.
The 2008 Toyota Corolla economy sedan is available in three trim levels: CE, S and LE. The base CE comes with 15-inch steel wheels, air-conditioning, a CD player, power mirrors, a height-adjustable driver seat, an outside temperature gauge and a 60/40-split folding rear seat. The S is similar but has a lower-body styling kit, a rear deck spoiler, foglights and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Go with the Corolla LE to gain fake wood trim, Optitron gauges, power windows and locks, and remote keyless entry. You can get the power windows and locks as options on the CE and S. Other available options, depending on the trim level, include 16-inch alloy wheels, a sunroof, upgraded audio systems and cruise control.
Even with the car’s tall cabin, room in the front seats is only average, with a somewhat awkward seating position for the driver. On the plus side, two adults can sit comfortably in the backseat without ducked heads or pulled-up legs. Trunk capacity measures a generous 13.6 cubic feet.
Power for all 2008 Corollas comes in the form of a 126-horsepower, 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. A five-speed manual transmission driving the front wheels is standard, and a four-speed automatic is optional. Fuel economy is at the very top of the economy sedan segment (neck and neck with the Civic) with 2008 EPA figures of 26 mpg city and 35 mpg highway with the automatic transmission.

This corolla has become out-dated. Cannot compare with its segment leader Civic. Lets wait for the new gen corolla, wich will be launched soon.
