The Toyota Corolla appeals more to buyers, far and wide, introducing three trim levels: the sleek CE, the sporty S and the high-class LE. The sedan qualifies to be among the most sought after in the US, even up to this current time.
For over three decades, the car continues to keep its reputations of affordability, reliability and durability; and has drawn remarkable recognition, within and without. Here’s a detailed review of the 2001 Toyota Corolla that reveals the beauty of this car for what it truly is.
2001 Corolla comes with a 16-valve 1.8 liter four -cylinder engine

The 2001 Corolla comes with a 16-valve 1.8 liter four-cylinder engine, powered by a five-speed manual transmission. What’s optional for the CE is a 3-speed automatic transmission, of course, that’s not regular so that’d incur more costs. The S and LE also get option transmission engines, a four- speed automatic. The Corolla proposes competence in terms of road performance, responsive handling and comfort. The vehicle’s all-aluminium engine is really powerful and has got awesome fuel economy.
What’s new for 2001, as opposed to Toyota’s 2000 model, is a VVT-i (variable-valve timing). The technology builds a determined low-rpm torque that pushes away from traffic signals, dashing elegantly on the road. On the highway, this same engine gives off a 39 mpg, not emitting unpleasant noises in its road mission. At cruising speeds or at shifting modes, one would expect loud vibrations. However, the Corolla is good at pulling things off and impressing everyone with its skills. The result therefore is a ‘tip toeing’ of the car in times like these.
The Corolla is comfy for four, yet it can accommodate five. With snug lean-back seats, the car provides enough room for both driver and fore-seat passenger. The rear seat however, is less spacious and much convenient for two, rather than for three (though it’s not a bad idea for a third person to squeeze in, if the other two are more than willing to manage). All the same, leg room wouldn’t be something to look forward to, in the event that that happens.
Far from the Corolla’s outlook, the interior design is finely finished and upscale attractive. The rev counter (otherwise known as tachometer) together with a temperature gauge also comes installed. Control buttons are ample in size and user-friendly. The center console also holds out some functions like housing a cup holder, storage box and a closed-in bin.

Moving on, the cloth upholstery is enticing and carries a lasting appearance. One could almost say that it’s a permanent setting, like the makers installed it just so it would never be changed again. Moving stuff just got easier. The trunk is roomy enough to open through to the bumper for convenient loading, much so. Its maximum trunk cargo space is 12.1 cubic feet and 33.2 inches rear leg room for back seat passengers.

The 2001 Corolla presents a traditional outlook, not pulling attraction to itself. Though plain, the Corolla is neat and lets show of a certain level of exuberance. For its walk around, it’s got a new fascia, beaming halogen headlights, chrome trim and fashionable taillights.
What we get for the S model is a little upgrade, quite distinct from the regular base Corolla. There’s a new grille, coloured side moldings and new fenders.
By width, the Corolla gets a few inches shorter and in compensation of that, it gets longer by a total of 174 inches. The CE trim is built with a 97 inch wheelbase and with curb weight of 2410 lb.
