Overall, the clutch and stick are easy to work smoothly on either transmission. The coin holder is essentially useless, but the deep cup holders work well on appropriately sized cups. In some model years, a basic three-door hatchback was available as well. Headlights are unusually bright and well focused. Unlike past Corollas, the automatic headlights will go on instantly at night when you start the car (in the past, they took 15 seconds), but the 15 second delay remains in effect after you start the car to avoid having the headlights blink on and off every time you go under an overpass or tree. It also requires you to agree to drive safely each and every time you start the car before it'll show you a simple map. The engine feels somewhat sluggish when you first start out, picking up power rather suddenly at around 4,000 rpm as the valves go into a new program. Other somewhat unusual features are built-in air filtration, a power outlet in the covered center console, and a 115 volt AC outlet, with a standard plug, in the dashboard. The instrument panel features a new 4.2-inch TFT screen nestled between the three-dimensional Optitron gauges on the SE, XLE and XSE models.
Projector-beam LED headlamps, exclusive to the Hybrid XLE grade and above, produce brighter, sharper, and ideally-angled illumination. The average savings for the 2020 Toyota Camry XLE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 8A) is 11.6% below the MSRP. Rather than resorting to a turbocharger, Toyota set up a high-performance cam and valve timing which takes effect at 6,000 rpm, and continues through an unusually high redline at 8,200 rpm. Both Standard and XR grades are powered by the Corolla's 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing (VVT-i); front wheel drive versions are ultra low emission vehicles (ULEV) with 130 hp, while four-wheelers are low emission vehicles (LEV) with 123 hosrepower. The front seats have good headrests that are stamped with the TRD logo. We'd just as soon have amber instead of red, which makes it harder to see the emergency warning lights (e.g. for brake failure), but red is the favorite of the younger generation.
Toyota brought journalists to an off-road park in Texas to take their dirt-focused trucks beyond what most of us will see during a typical road test. So I will have to pay capital gains taxes. We have seen that Toyota Corolla has all the time come up with different styles. Those are great expectations, and the Yaris hits the ground at a propitious time. All times below are in Eastern time. Most drivers should try out the base engine as well, since it's better suited to day-to-day driving and is much more fuel-efficient, even though it theoretically adds a second or two to zero-to-sixty times (assuming the XRS is driven by a skilled driver who takes it up to redline). Some of the controls are less than ideal, but nothing stands out as being nonsensical, just counterintuitive or more complex than needed. The five-speed manual also shifts well, but the gearing seems more appropriate, and reverse is in the Japanese position of back-and-right. It beeps loudly when in reverse (within the car), which is annoying and distracting. Reverse is off to the left, in the European pattern. Buyers of the Standard and XR grades are offered a choice of either front- or full-time four-wheel drive systems.
Standard and XR models and on the XRS, and optional with front-wheel drive. The standard stereo has good sound and is moderately easy to use, though audio fine-tuning takes too much attention due to the button-and-knob system. While a nav system is unusual in a car of this price range, operating the radio takes too much attention with the system. And some used-rental car agencies sold just regular used cars (bought at auto auction) which I think diffuses the concept. The end result, though, is that in regular driving you do not have the full potential of the engine - even less so than with turbo vehicles - and when you do tap it, which normally requires a downshift, it is very noisy. Note that the XRS requires premium fuel, while base models take regular. The Matrix XR, which has the sharp looks and sounds of the XRS without the actual horsepower, has good handling and feels solid and stable on the road, while still cushioning most shocks.
