2017 Toyota Corolla First Drive Review [Video]

Is there really any difference with the new 2017 Toyota Corolla?

TFL’s Nathan Adlen wanted to find out and got behind the wheel of a new Corolla during a recent test drive in central California.

Right away, Nathan saw that the new Corolla came equipped with a 1.8 liter VVT-I four cylinder engine, producing 132 horsepower and 128 pound feet of torque, same as last year. With a continuously variable transmission, the vehicle also got a similar 31 mpg combined, making it an extremely efficient vehicle for just under $19,000.

But what is actually different with the 2017 Corolla, which is heading to dealers and will be available for sale any day?
