| FEATURES
The 2016 Toyota Corolla comes with some great features. To keep everyone comfortable, automatic climate control comes standard. This is not even available on the Sentra. Another great feature, especially on icy winter days are the Corolla’s standard heated exterior mirrors. Again, this isn’t even an option on the Sentra. For added safety, the Corolla comes standard with a backup camera. With the Sentra, you’ll be craning your neck to see out the back window since this feature is not available. If you love commercial-free coast-to-coast satellite radio, you can get that added to your Corolla. If you drive the Sentra, you are out of luck. And, in the Corolla, you’ll enjoy all the music you love with its six standard speakers. With the Sentra, it only comes with four. The Corolla keeps up with modern technology by adding standard voice activated controls. This leaves the Sentra behind since it isn’t even available on this sedan. |
