Why Toyota Corolla remains top choice

According to Peter Boulware Toyota, the brand consistently ranks highest for reliability and resale value, making it a smart choice for gift-givers. Toyota vehicles are known for their durability, with 80% of Toyotas sold in the last 20 years still on the road today. The new Toyota Corolla ranges from R560,300 for the hybrid model to R581,700, featuring advanced safety technology including the Toyota Safety Sense Package with Pre-Crash System, Blind Spot Monitor and Lane Keeping System.
