Toyota Corolla 2017 review
The Toyota Corolla. A small car that's been part of our local landscape since 1967. Not many cars can come close to making a claim like that. So how does the latest incarnation shape up?

2018 Kia Cerato. (Sport variant shown)
The Sport+ is the new top-of-the-range Cerato, following a rationalising of the range for 2018 and beyond. It sits atop the Sport and entry-level S in the three-model family.
What we like
- Looks positively premium outside
- Leather seats and soft-touch plastics improve cabin ambience
- Impressive road manners
What we don't
- Lacks AEB, even at this price point
- Engine noise can be intrusive
- Gearbox can feel overly fidgety

The Sport+ is the new top-of-the-range Cerato, following a rationalising of the range for 2018 and beyond. It sits atop the Sport and entry-level S in the three-model family.
At $27,290 no matter whether you opt for hatch or sedan, the Sport+ is near-enough $10k more expensive than the cheapest Cerato, but your extra investment buys you an Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-equipped seven-inch touchscreen as well as a standard navigation system.
You’ll find 17-inch alloy wheels, too, as well as a better steering wheel and a leather-wrapped instrument cluster, soft-touch door panels, carbonfibre-effect trim inserts, a cooling glovebox and illuminated mirrors in the visors. Leather-appointed seats make an appearance as well, and you also get gear-shift paddles on the steering wheel and vents for backseat passengers.
Explore the 2018 Kia Cerato range
With just the one motor on offer right across the Cerato range, the Sport+ shares its 2.0-litre, four-cylinder unit, good for 112kW, with the cheaper members of the family. It partners with a six-speed automatic transmission and sends its power to the front wheels.
The Sport+ builds on the Cerato's six airbags (dual front, front-side and curtain), parking sensors and foglight by adding a reversing camera, but still misses out on AEB and more advanced technology, like lane-departure warning.
