Super TestCar reviews - Toyota - Corolla - Ultima sedanToyota modelsOverviewToyota's first all-Japanese Corolla since 1967 brought no real advances to the model29 Mar 2001 By BRUCE NEWTON TOYOTA'S new Corolla sedan offers no surprises. It's no longer built locally - arriving from Japan these days - but embraces the same design philosophy as its predecessor. In essence that means it is bland on the outside and mundane on the inside, reflecting Toyota's conservative approach to sedan design. In its favour, though, Corolla is smooth, refined and reasonably well built. It is a thoroughly competent but uninspiring car - a popular choice for people after fuss-free motoring. Model release date: 1 November 1999 to 1 November 2001 Did you know?The first Corolla built in Australia was a 1.1-litre overhead valve coupe.All car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen Previous modelThe Corolla is an Australian institution, with the badge first introduced here in the 1960s.
