Four years ago, Mr. Akio Toyoda promised us “no more boring cars,” even in Toyota’s most accessible products.

Well, here we are. The 2021 Toyota Corolla L is more than just the safe, familiar, and reliable choice. It’s the stylish, savvy, and surprisingly fun choice, too — especially with three pedals.

The @chevroletcanada Colorado ZR2 — for when the Ford F-150 Raptor is too big. And trucks these days are definitely too big.

The Good: Looks awesome, highly capable off road, more than enough towing capacity, smaller footprint makes it surprisingly easy to live with around town.

The Bad: Fuel economy isn’t anything to write home about, no real sense of urgency to the V6, interior looks and feels cheap.
