The 2003 Toyota Corolla is part of the model's ninth generation. As a compact sedan, it's available in three trim levels: CE, S, and LE. The model's heart is a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 130 horsepower and is paired with either a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. The Corolla is a front-wheel-drive vehicle. Key safety items include front airbags, side-impact airbags, and a child seat anchor system. The base model features a CD player, while higher trims offer an upgraded audio system and power windows and locks. For 2003, Toyota redesigned the Corolla, making it larger and more substantial than its predecessor, with a more aerodynamic style that greatly improved its overall look and feel.
