Originally scheduled to debut late last year, the sport-tuned 2005 Toyota Corolla XRS arrives with a slightly modified version of the 1.8-liter inline four engine and six-speed manual transmission found in both the Celica GT-S and Matrix XRS. The engine makes 170 horsepower but has a broader range of power than in the other two cars. A stiffer suspension, 16-inch alloy wheels and sharper steering complement the engine's performance intent. Sport seats and a liberal sprinkling of themed badging and trim lets you know that the 2005 Toyota Corolla XRS is no ordinary economy sedan. All 2005 Toyota Corollas receive a fresh face, with new bumper, grille and headlight treatments, along with restyled rear taillights. The uplevel Corolla LE gets Lexus-style Optitron gauges, fabric-covered sun visors and a center console lid. Base CE and premium LE Corollas get fresh wheel covers and the sporty S model receives a new front spoiler, fog lamps and smoked headlamp masking. Side curtain airbags and vehicle stability control are new options on all 2005 Toyota Corolla sedans.
