Toyota Corolla

Test drive Toyota Corolla: three opinions on the most popular car in the worldWhy does the Japanese sedan still hold the title of the most popular car on the planet, what place does it occupy in the model range and what is lacking in its power unitIn terms of size and price, the 12th generation Toyota Corolla is close to the flagship Camry sedan. The car grew in size, became more technologically advanced and received an incredibly wide range of equipment.
