The
2011 Toyota Corolla keeps the basic four-door body of previous models and same basic engineering it has had since the 2009 model. Front wheel drive is retained from previous models, keeping the engine over the drive wheels yielding solid wet-surface traction with powertrain components concentrated in the front to produce efficient packaging. The transmission is 5-speed manual with OD.
Cost-conscious consumers are sure to cheer about the 2011 Toyota Corolla's MSRP, which starts around $17,000. Unlike most other model years, the 2011 Corolla does not include a price increase. Front-wheel drive is par for the course with the Corolla. This time around, the Corolla only comes with a single engine option - the trusty 1.8-liter DOHC 4-cylinder. Two transmission choices are available, though - a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual. Most drivers will be happy with the available choices.
