2005 Toyota Corolla Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Toyota makes minor changes to one of the most popular cars on the planet.
A 1.8-liter inline 4-cylinder is standard with 130 horsepower, 125 pound-feet of torque, and a 5-speed manual transmission driving the front wheels. A 4-speed automatic is optional on all trims except the XRS, which is new for 2005 and comes with a rare gem: A 6-speed manual. The XRS is legit sporty. It comes with a stiffer suspension, a half-inch lower ride height, retuned steering, larger 16-inch wheels, and a 170-hp engine that revs to 8,200 rpm and uses variable intake valve timing that makes some wild sounds for a Corolla. Aside from the XRS, the Corolla drives with minimal verve. It's a docile machine with light steering, a quiet ride, and a soft brake pedal.
Fuel economy is estimated, using current EPA formulas, at 28 mpg city, 37 mpg highway, and 31 mpg combined for the five-speed manual CE/S/LE trims. The automatic gets 26/35/29, while the performance XRS takes a hit at 22/31/25.
