Safety
The good news is that both of these cars earn favorable crash-test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The bad news is that just one of them is considered a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Starting with the Elantra, the Hyundai receives an overall rating of five stars by NHTSA combined, with a Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS. The Corolla also gets a 5-star NHTSA rating, and when reviewing the Toyota's performance in individual tests, it provides superior protection for the driver in a side-impact collision. The Corolla does not, however, receive a Top Safety Pick designation from IIHS because of a Marginal rating in the small-overlap frontal-impact test.
Thanks to the Elantra's Top Safety Pick rating, it also earns the win in this contest when it comes to safety.

I remember i went in the dealership n ask bout the basic n high end model difference. D man say fog lights n auto wipers .. no lie.. haahha Toyota does act like apple... we have the name..so take what u get ..smhMG Man wrote:test drove both the corolla cerato and and elantra
the korean cars are miles ahead
The corolla wins for interior and trunk space...other than that....unless you really feel you paying for name and perceived resale value, you'd have to be a real tuntun to choose the corolla at it's current price
The Koreans have tons more features, and their ride and handling are good for the class....there's a Cerato that ran dex last year, and it was very impressive.
The corolla still running the old 4 speed tranny, doesn't have a proper voice interface, and the steering wheel buttons look like a cheap afterthought....you'd swear someone took a hole-saw to the steering wheel and cut out the holes for the tacky buttons.....the dash is nice, if you like that retro / wannabe BMW horizontal layout....and of course you don't get the pretty screen on the USDM cars....
that new corolla is definitely the bottom of the barrel i this class......the idea of superior quality blah blah blah in this day and age, is an outdated misconception...the truth is, EVERYBODY making a quality car nowadays......so why pay TTTL's price for the worst car in class?
