The Toyota Corolla hatch pairs sharp styling with an excellent all-round driving experience.

From some angles it actually reminds me of the Lexus CT200h, which is certainly a good thing. Longer and lower than the outgoing Auris I particularly like the front end of this car with its slit-eyed headlamps and gaping mesh radiator grille. Aesthetically speaking it's one of the more extrovert Toyota products we've seen in a while and that - as a Toyota fanboy - makes me happy.It's most certainly not.

Refinement and cabin insulation is top notch with the Corolla hatch feeling notably grown-up for what it is: a car that does everything well but nothing particularly brilliantly. Though it doesn't provide hot-hatch levels of performance its smooth, torquey midrange allows for stress-free overtaking out on the highway. Speaking of which, this is where the Corolla hatch feels most comfortable.
