The Toyota Corolla should be able to maintain best - seller
status in the compact sedan segment, as its fuel efficient 1.8 - liter four - cylinder engine produces up to 140 horsepower and 126 lb - ft of torque when matched with its available continuously - variable automatic transmission (a six - speed manual is standard with the car).
The latest generation of the Hyundai Elantra has been fighting the good fight
in the
compact segment since 2011, and it gains high marks not just for its
status as a reliable used
sedan, but also for its sense of style and high end interior compared to some of its rivals.
