Toyota Corolla 2007 Gold
Toyota Corolla: The Right Japanese
Toyota Corolla / Auris are 100% correct cars. And although they do not have any extraordinary design delights, they are comfortable and ergonomic, functional and practical enough. It remains to find out how things stand with their reliability.
In the tenth generation of the Corolla model, the creators decided to give the hatchback its own name - Auris (from the Latin aurum - "gold"), and the sedans retained their former name. 5-door Corolla Fielder station wagons were also produced, but they were not sold in Ukraine, as well as 3-door hatchbacks.
Traditionally, sedans and hatchbacks are distinguished by individual design of both the exterior and the interior (see photo). Externally, the Corolla resembles a smaller "big sister" Camry, which gives the golf-class sedan solidity, while the Auris looks more friendly, which attracts the fair sex. Two years after the presentation, both versions underwent restyling, during which the front and rear bumpers, radiator grille and optics were slightly "retouched".

Even years later, Corolla / Auris retain good immunity to the redhead disease. Domestic specialists have no special complaints about the safety of other body parts. It is important to note that this model is also an excellent "bodyguard" - according to the results of EuroNCAP crash tests in 2007, it won the maximum 5 points.
Both modifications are distinguished by their individual interior design. The hatch interior looks more expressive (see photo). If in the previous generation the "optitronic" instrument panel was the prerogative of only hatchbacks, then this option is also used in the standard on sedans. The ergonomics of the cabin are carefully verified and are not satisfactory. The same can be said about the quality of the finish and assembly - even after a while, the parts do not creak, and the materials show good wear resistance. As the operating experience has shown, the salon equipment also works without problems.
Practical motorists will clearly be pleased that five people can normally accommodate in the cabin. The luggage compartment is also quite roomy - its volume for both versions of the car is average compared to competitors.
Both modifications differ not only externally - their interior is also completely individual. In sedans, it is more restrained, and in hatchbacks, it is more expressive: its key feature is a high, sloping center console.
Under the hood of most Ukrainian Corolla / Auris, you can find the same 1.6 liter gasoline engine. Sedans are much less common in the most budgetary modification of the City, equipped with an inexpensive low-volume 1.3 liter unit. Cars with any other engines were not delivered to us and, accordingly, are not found on the roads. With such a set of engines, Corolla / Auris are distinguished by a calm temperament (acceleration to "hundreds" with the popular automatic transmission in the 1.6 l unit - 12.1 s and 1.3 l - 13.1 s) and, as a rule, they are operated by drivers who prefer an inactive, measured driving style. According to mechanics, this feature has a positive effect on the "health" of used copies. Although they have no serious complaints about the reliability of the motors.
Of the characteristic shortcomings, minders noted that a 1.6-liter unit with prolonged driving at speeds of about 140 km / h increases the oil appetite: drivers who often drive this way add about 1.0 liters of lubricant per 10 thousand kilometers, which, in general, quite a bit. In the same engine, oil fogging was also detected in the area of the hydraulic tensioner of the timing chain after 120-160 thousand km, and in the 1.3-liter engine - fogging from under the valve cover gasket after 50 thousand km. In cars of the first years of production (2007-2008) with a 1.6 liter engine, the pump often leaked after a run of 80 thousand km.
The timing belt of both Corolla / Auris engines is equipped with a durable chain, a proprietary variable valve timing system VVT-i and individual ignition coils for each of the spark plugs. Thanks to the VVT-i, they are characterized by flexible operation and good traction at various engine speeds. These systems work reliably.

Due to its more expressive design, Auris hatchbacks are more often chosen by women, while the Corolla sedan is more popular with men and families.
