With the 2010 Toyota Corolla, or any car with five different trim levels, you can rest assured there will be a very varied level of standard and available features.

The car offers a healthy roster of options on the most basic versions, with Cars.com listing standard features as "air conditioning, power mirrors and a CD stereo with an auxiliary jack." Moving up the trim list on the Corolla Toyota, Edmunds finds that "the LE gains power windows and locks," while the XLE version of the 2010 Toyota Corolla adds "electroluminescent gauges, keyless entry and variable intermittent wipers." The well-equipped XRS, meanwhile, is available with the All-Weather and Power Packages, JBL audio, navigation and leather.

Heated mirrors are optional across the Toyota Corolla line, while the S, XLE, and XRS are eligible for a sunroof, an upgraded JBL sound system (with satellite radio and Bluetooth connectivity), and a navigation system with real-time traffic.

Conclusion

The 2010 Toyota Corolla’s feature list is substantial, with items like an optional moonroof and navigation system available, though at a significant premium.

Other Choices:

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.

    "Upgrade to the premium XRS model and you get a 2.4-liter four-banger with 158 horsepower on tap. This engine is happy to rev, and a sweet shifting six-speed automatic is available as an option."
    I don't know what planet your Corolla XRS is from, but there's no 6-speed automatic, it's a 5-speed.
    "The 2010 Toyota Corolla features a fully independent suspension system..."
    Rear torsion beam suspension is semi-independent, not fully independent.
    Don't post wrong information, any 16 year old on toyota.com could give you more accurate information. This is just shameful.
