The new Toyota Corolla is redesigned, but still it looks soo much like the old model. The Toyota Corolla is available as a four-door sedan in five different trims:

On the safety front, the 2009 Toyota Corolla features six strategically placed airbags, and an innovative active front-seat head restraint system that provides additional whiplash protection. Other safety features include a tire-pressure-monitoring system, available traction control, anti-lock brakes (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution, and “Brake Assist” for emergency situations.
The new Toyota Corolla feels far more upscale than previous models. The driving position and outward visibility are immediately noticeable. The functionality and the overall quietness of the cabin at speed put the Toyota Corolla at the top of its segment.
The XRS was the most engaging model with its 158 horsepower, manual transmission. Steering feedback is adequate, and the XRS is responsive as long as the engine is kept in the wide portion of its powerband. The sporty S and XRS models does not have the most powerful engine but decent enough.
