Choosing The Right Used Toyota Corolla For You

By Jackie Sulley


The world-famous Japanese car manufacturing company Toyota has created a wide range of durable sedans, and you can buy a used Toyota Corolla from one of the recent generations of this line at an inexpensive price. The series has now seen ten generations, and since 1994 these cars have consistently been rated as 'better than average' in standardized safety tests.

There are models from a number of different years that you can read up about when you are looking for a previously-owned car. While you may be attracted to the vintage chic of one of the early models, it is worth remembering that these older vehicles were constructed using much heavier materials, and thus they consume more gas than more recent models.

In addition to using gas more sparingly, newer vehicle models also boast a range of safety features which help to reduce injuries in the event of a collision of any kind. One of the things to bear in mind when buying a more recent model is that your insurance premiums may be higher, since your vehicle will have a higher value. The enhanced safety of the vehicle may help to reduce premiums, however.

In addition to full-size sedans, the Japanese auto manufacturers also introduced a powerful coupe, the Levin AE101, in the mid-nineties. Larger station wagons have also been produced, and these are ideal for families which need more space for luggage when they travel, or for professionals whose line of work requires them to transport bulky items frequently.

Many drivers choose hatchback vehicles over sedans, since these are typically easier to navigate into parking spots and their more compact size make them easier to navigate through narrower or crowded roads. The Matrix hatchback is one which is periodically redesigned whenever the Corolla is given an overhaul, and provides a sporty alternative to the hatchback.

One of the many advantages of purchasing a previously-owned vehicle made by a prominent international vehicle manufacturer is the fact that it is easier to find parts, thus purchasing a used Toyota Corolla could provide you with reliability as well as convenience.
