You can’t put a price on looking good - but if you have to, it might as well be low. Enter the 2006 Toyota Corolla S, with its awesome styling like front and rear underbody spoilers and available 15-in. aluminum alloy wheels. Then there’s the Corolla LE, which has remote keyless entry and power windows, door locks and color-keyed mirrors. The XRS comes equipped with 16-in. aluminum alloy wheels, 4-wheel disc brakes, color-keyed grille surround and 164-hp [2] engine. And if you choose to roll with the CE, you also get a 16-valve VVT-i engine and chrome grille surround. After all, what good is a flashy car if you can’t afford to leave your driveway?
Looking at Versa, Fit, or Yaris?? Add Toyota Corolla to That "Must Drive" List!

Sloppy finish on visors. Hesitation when accelerating.
