TOYOTA'S Corolla Seca offers no surprises. It may be imported from Japan - whereas the previous model was built locally - but it embraces the same design philosophy as its predecessor. The revamped Corolla is competent in most aspects, but does not break new ground in any area. Its bland styling and mundane interior reflects Toyota's conservative approach when it comes to designing hatches and sedans. In its favour, though, the Corolla is smooth, refined and reasonably well built.
