The popularity and lasting appeal of the Toyota Corolla are irrefutable. Recognized as the world’s most popular passenger vehicle, the Corolla has remained one of the best-selling cars on the market for over forty years. The latest incarnation of the vehicle, the 2010 Toyota Corolla, hasn’t changed much from the 2009 model but is impressive nonetheless. The body styling of the new model remains largely the same as the 2009 Corolla, but Toyota has added features like standard stability control to set the 2010 model apart. Overall, the 2010 Toyota Corolla offers a smooth ride, good fuel economy, and a reasonable sticker price, but a few of its features leave something to be desired.

Facing the Competition
Over the years, the Toyota Corolla has lost some of its prominence as an economical, quality small sedan. It’s not that the Corolla has declined in quality, but rather that its competitiors, like Hyundai, Mazda, and Honda, have made significant improvements. According to U.S. News and World Report, the 2010 Toyota Corolla ranks a decent 18th in their list of the 35 most affordable small vehicles. U.S. News praised the value, comfort, and dependability of the 2010 model, but criticized its lack of style, performance, and versatility. Basically, the 2010 Toyota Corolla has not done much to distinguish itself from the competition, but the reputation of the model will undoubtedly sustain its tradition of blockbuster sales.
Strengths of the 2010 Model
The 2010 Toyota Corolla has the most to offer in terms of reliability, safety, and comfort. The Corolla has the prestigious and impeccable reputation for quality that the Toyota brand name lends to all of its models. Corolla drivers can count on the vehicle to get the job done. The 2010 Corolla also excels in safety, performing very well in crash tests conducted by the insurance industry and the federal government. Toyota’s addition of vehicle stability and traction control on all trim levels for the 2010 model has further enhanced the car’s safety performance. Finally, the comfort of the Corolla’s ride does not disappoint. Reviewers typically describe the car’s ride as “forgiving” and also praise the comfort and support of the vehicle’s seats.
Drawbacks of the 2010 Model
The biggest criticism reviewers of the 2010 Toyota Corolla seem to have is the vehicle’s inability to dazzle. The Corolla is not as sporty or aesthetically pleasing as most of its compeition, which may underwhelm buyers looking for an affordable vehicle with spunk. The base model of the 2010 Corolla has also been faulted for its lack of features. The base model does not offer power windows or power locks, and the standard five-speed manual transmission slightly reduces the published fuel economy figures.
