LIKE all Corollas, the Sportivo's suspension is an all-independent affair with MacPherson struts front and rear. Suspension modifications were limited to springs, Bridsgetone tyres and the 15-inch "Corsica" alloy wheels. The coils are 15 per cent stiffer all round - and lower by 17 mm at the front and 15 mm at the rear - which produces a slight alteration in steering geometry.
