Consumer Reports Picks Toyota Corolla As Top Teen Smart Car

Online, July 24, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The 2012 Toyota Corolla was recently selected by Consumer Reports as one of their 2012 Top Smart Cars for Teens. Parents can find the Toyota Corolla at Sun Toyota, a dealership near Tampa, Florida.

Consumer Reports based their choices for Top Smart Cars for Teens on safety, reliability and affordability. To accompany the list, editors recommended that parents select a car for their teen that is equipped with curtain air bags, electronic stability control, and anti-lock brakes. They also advised that before buying a car for teens, insurance-industry and government crash test performance should be taken into consideration.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has named the Toyota Corolla as a Top Safety Pick of 2012 for 'good' ratings in side, front, rear and roof strength tests. All Corollas come standard with six airbags, anti-lock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist.

The Toyota Corolla is a 4-door sedan that has been named the best-selling compact car in America for the past nine years. In the last twenty years, 80% of Corollas sold are still running on the road, making the Corolla a reliable choice for parents. According to a 2012 IntelliChoice study, Toyota has the best retained value of any full-line car maker.

Anyone interested in test driving the 2012 Toyota Corolla can visit Sun Toyota's dealership. They have a green Toyota dealership near Tampa in New Port Richey. Photos and information on the Toyota Corolla can also be viewed at the Sun Toyota website at http://suntoyota.com. Customers are invited to interact with Sun Toyota on Facebook and Twitter.
