The 2010 Toyota Corolla is competent in most areas, but strong rivals like the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, and Mazda3 are similar in price and perform better overall.
The Hyundai Elantra is an especially good value compared to the Toyota, as is Hyundai's larger Sonata when compared with the $22,000 Corolla XRS.
The Nissan Sentra has better style and a better backseat, while the Mazda3 is the zippiest of all, especially as the MazdaSpeed3.
Other vehicles worth a look include the Mitsubishi Lancer and the Honda Fit.

The 2010 Toyota Corolla has two different personalities: a bare-basic entry-level model and the sporty—but pricey—Corolla XRS. | The 2008 Hyundai Elantra doesn’t have a lot of personality, but it’s the undeniable practical choice. | The 2008 Mazda 3 is easily one of the best compact cars for sale in the United States. | The 2008 Nissan Sentra is worth a drive, but its CVT may turn off some buyers. |
