There are many good reasons why drivers have made the Canadian-built Toyota Corolla one of the country's best-selling passenger cars - not least of which is an impressive list of more than 100 improvements on the current, 10th generation model, which the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada named its 2009 Best New Small Car under $18,000, and one of three finalists for AJAC's Canadian Car of the Year.
