TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Fiat 500L has largely been forgotten by American buyers, and for valid reasons.

It’s still among the more mildly flavored mass-market sedans, but the 2020 Toyota Corolla has dropped the bland from its diet.

TCC Likes

Good outward visibility
Low base price
Spacious interior

More entertaining to drive
New engine, more power
Sportier look that’s more restrained

TCC Dislikes

Ungainly styling
Forgettable driving dynamics
No active safety tech available

Cramped rear seat
More cargo space wouldn’t hurt
It’s sportier, but not necessarily sporty
