2005 Toyota Corolla XRS Road Test
Everyone knows that the Toyota Corolla is a performance car, right? OK, not funny. While the Corolla is legendary for quality and reliability, only a two-door version of distant memory could have been called sport-oriented. Ironically the 1984 through 1987 rear-drive Corolla GT-S, featuring what was then an impressively potent 112 horsepower twin-cam 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, would be left in the dust by even today's base 2004 Corolla.
