Fiat Cronos Precision 2018: Affordable Sedan with Spacious Trunk and Reliable Maintenance
At the back, the taillights invade the trunk lid. Its keys do not have integrated controls, with alarm controls separate. Its 406-liter trunk is surprising considering the size and version of the Toyota Corolla.
The vehicle can deliver up to 136 horsepower and about 16 kgfm of torque that, combined with a rugged automatic transmission, push the set quite well, leaving nothing to be desired. Furthermore, the Corolla’s suspension reflects the concept of durability that Toyota would adopt for decades to come: Independent arms in the front and a torsion axle in the rear.

Owner Opinion of a Toyota Corolla 2002
According to Gabriel Monico, a former owner of a Toyota Corolla 2002, the model is a car that has always had the ability to serve any type of use. The AE110 platform is robust and consistent, with enough space for a few adults and a good trunk.
For daily use in cities clogged with traffic, it is more advisable to buy an automatic in the XEi or SE-G versions (which adds some technologies).
However, if you seek better performance and consumption, opt for the manual transmission. In any case, the Toyota Corolla is a functional car that will not cause major issues, as long as you respect its mechanics, using regular maintenance and high-quality parts.
