The 2013 Toyota Corolla represents the tenth generation of Toyota's compact sedan, a reliable and fuel-efficient vehicle beloved by commuters. Buyers could choose from three trims: the base L, mid-tier LE, and sportier S. A 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine provided 132 horsepower, paired with a standard five-speed manual transmission or optional four-speed automatic. Amenities included a standard audio system with auxiliary audio jack and steering-wheel controls. The top S trim added sport seats and a body kit for a touch of athleticism. Notable safety features on all trims included stability and traction control, antilock brakes, front side airbags, and side curtain airbags. Despite a reputation for being somewhat basic, Corolla's known strength lies in its dependability and strong resale value.
