Saw the Toyota Corolla today at the dealer. From what I have seen the car is absolute grand slam out of the park hit. This Corolla will do well.
What I noticed was design is first rate, style is well done, features are impressive.
It has a lot of standard features

Surprised there's no commercials running yet if they are showing up at dealers already. I'm sure they'll be a big launch campaign.
I'll be heading to my local dealer soon to hopefully see it in person.

It is nice to see that Toyota cut the price of the Corolla to compete with the VW Jetta.
For some reason while I was looking at the pictures of the new Corolla, I kept thinking about the Dodge Dart.

While the Cruze ECO gets EPA 42 mpg highway, it only gets 28 mpg city.
The Corolla Eco gets 30 mpg city/42 mpg highway. This is irrefutably class-leading. Better than the Cruze Eco. Better than any Civic model, including the HF. Also better than the Ford Focus or any of the Korean compacts.
The only car in the segment that beats the Corolla Eco in fuel economy is the Cruze diesel, and it only beats it in highway economy. The Corolla Eco beats it in city mpg comfortably. So essentially it comes down to a tie between the Corolla Eco and Cruze diesel. Thing is, that's a diesel engine so technically a different class.
Even the Jetta diesel cannot beat the Corolla Eco, as the Jetta diesel has EPA 30 city/42 highway, identical ratings to the Corolla Eco, despite the diesel engine putting the Jetta diesel in a slightly different category.

2014 Toyota Corolla gets marginal IIHS small overlap crash test score
2014 Toyota Corolla gets marginal IIHS small overlap crash test score

Toyota may have performed some major surgery on the 2014 Corolla, but that hasn't helped the Japanese automaker overcome tough new crash test procedures. The Corolla, Toyota's bread-and-butter compact sedan, managed only a Marginal score on the new small overlap crash test, which was just added last year.
Despite the low score, the Corolla performed well in the moderate overlap front, side, rollover and rear testing, which was enough to score it a 2013 Top Safety Pick. In testing in August, six of the Corolla's competitors earned the Top Safety Pick + award, for good or acceptable scores across the board.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Corolla's "Marginal" score was down to an "intruding structure," that could cause injuries to the lower left leg. There was also concern that in a collision, the driver's head would move after hitting the air bag, and collide with the A-pillar or dash.

Toyota certainly needs to catch up on this really tough small overlap test. Toyota did have enough advance warning for this Corolla as the IIHS told automakers 3-4 years ago that it would begin this new test so I'm surprised it only managed a marginal. Fortunately, it wasn't a poor rating.
I wonder how much this test affects peoples purchase decision. The Camry received a similar rating (I believe it was marginal), and continues to be the best seller. The 2014 Corolla was the #1 compact in Sept. before the test was revealed. Not sure if we'll notice much drop off going forward. Probably not.
