Verdict: The Toyota Corolla is a safe bet for those seeking basic transportation in a compact sedan that is also a good value. But other cars in the same class have proven that boring and safe can also be brought together with excitement and value.

The 2011 Toyota Corolla is available in Base, LE, XLE, S and XRS trims. Pricing for the Base model starts at $15,900
