Ignoring the Matrix, the Corolla line consists of just one body style: a four-door sedan. Although the Corolla line has included two-door and station wagon models in the past the majority of American car buyers want straightforward four-door sedans.
All Corollas come with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder 16-valve engine and a choice of a manual or automatic transmission.
Three trim levels are available in the 2003 Corolla lineup: the base CE, the sporty S, and the luxurious LE.
CE ($13,370) comes standard with air conditioning (with an air filter), AM/FM/CD stereo system, power steering, power mirrors, tilt steering column, tachometer, intermittent wipers, digital clock, outside temperature gauge, trunk lamp, and a dome light with delay. CE comes standard with a manual transmission; an automatic is optional ($14,370).
S ($14,515 with manual gearbox, $15,315 with automatic transmission) features sporty styling cues such as smoked headlight lens extenders, integrated fog lamps, and an aerodynamic body package with color-keyed front and rear underbody spoilers, rocker panel extensions, and rear mud guards. It also gets wider 195/65R15 tires. Inside, the S gets a unique cloth interior, a sporty tachometer, chrome accents, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. The S model gets a vertical seat-height, power door locks, and map lights.
LE ($14,680 or $15,480 with the automatic) adds remote keyless entry, power windows, and intermittent wipers. The LE lacks the sporty body cladding of the S. And in place of the S modelÆs sporty interior finish, the LE gets wood-like trim and upgraded cloth seating surfaces. An optional leather package is available ($1,050, which includes a sunroof) for the LE that gives the car a luxurious feel.
