What to Weigh Before Buying

The SE and SE Nightshade Edition prioritize the continuously variable automatic transmission and higher stated MPG figures, while the XSE pairs its configuration with a 6-speed manual transmission and the lower end of the model’s MPG ranges.
Consider how often the Corolla Hatchback will carry passengers or cargo, since its five-seat cabin and 17.8 cu ft of rear cargo space shape everyday usefulness. Its compact dimensions, regular unleaded fuel type, and 2.0 L engine also make the configuration relevant for routine commuting and city driving.
