TCC’s Bottom Line

With more interesting style, the 2022 Toyota Corolla is a wallflower no more; hybrids have Prius-like fuel economy.

The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta packs more standard features for a better compact car value.

Balanced ride and handling
Frugal fuel economy
Quality interior

Uprated base engine
One loaded GLI model
Good standard safety features

TCC Dislikes

Rear seat could be better
Sedans have a small trunk
Larger engine lacks refinement

...or conventionally plain
Mild(est) refresh
Can get expensive
