Toyota Corolla: A four-door 86 for Toyota tragics? Hmm, perhaps not

摘要

One week after fanging Ferrari's fierce F12 in Tassie (see page 74) I'm back on the same roads, this time, in the slowest MOTOR test car in memory, the new Toyota Corolla sedan. Manual, white, hub caps - at $20,740, my Ascent is as bare-boned as the world's best-selling car gets. The pace is leisurely, as I'm driving Miss Daisy - well, Mrs (Coral) Taylor and Mr (Neal) Bates, the legendary Aussie rally duo who, in past glories, punted Corollas faster than almost anyone on Earth.
