TOYOTA COROLLA 1.8 Hybrid Icon

BEST FAMILY CAR

IF YOU'RE MAKING precise adjustments to a vintage timepiece, a jeweller's screwdriver is what you need, whereas a sledgehammer is just the job for knocking holes in solid walls. You should always select the right tool for the job, and for everyday family transportation, that tool is the Toyota Corolla.

imageMillions of people all over the globe would agree; in fact, the Corolla has been the world's bestselling car for much of the past century, and it's richly deserved. Toyota's family car has never sought to be the flashiest, nor the most exciting, but - like an anvil it fulfils its specific role brilliantly.
