2017 Toyota Corolla vs 2017 Toyota Corolla iM
Ever since the Toyota Corolla first came on to the scene in 1966, it's been taking the automotive world by storm. People love how the Corolla is constantly being updated to fit modern day style while retaining the reliability and drivability that people love. Sleek, stylish, and sporty, the Corolla knows how to keep a following.
Toyota recognized the star power in the Corolla, that's why they created its hatchback sibling, the Corolla iM. Chock full of all the same outstanding features of the Corolla sedan but in a sporty hatchback form, the Corolla iM offers its drivers style without compromise. These two compacts have very different personalities but ultimately offer the same thing, which is a unique dynamic drive that's anything but boring.
