In its verdict, What Car? awarded the Toyota Corolla a full five stars and wrote: “So, you don’t want a diesel. The petrol cars you’ve looked at aren’t frugal enough and an electric car won’t fit your lifestyle. It’s a common conundrum for the modern car buyer, but before you tear your hair out, there could be an answer: a ‘self-charging’ hybrid, like the Toyota Corolla.

“The Corolla doesn’t need to be charged overnight to get the best out of it, you simply treat it like a regular petrol car and let it sort out the electrical business for itself. The battery is topped up when you use the brakes, then a small electric motor is deployed to improve either efficiency or performance. If you’re really gentle, you can drive the Corolla on battery power alone for short distances.
“When it comes to CO2 emissions and, officially at least, fuel economy, this halfway house between a petrol car and an electric one certainly delivers some impressive numbers. And thanks to tax advantages, the Toyota Corolla is much cheaper to run as a company car than most of its rivals.”

Hello,
I have a 2019 used Corolla Icon Tech and also a 2019 Rav4. The rubber surrounds for the audio controls on the Rav4 are very tactile and comfortable. When I purchased the Corolla a month ago the audio controls were uncomfortable and slippery and cheap looking. I have since purchased some very small rubber bands and placed them carefully around the controls of the corolla and hey presto! works a treat and much better to use much better response using the controls – why didn’t they think of the controls like the Rav4? Then again i have a solution now they are transparent and you can’t really see them. Just thought I’d let you know.
