Wondering how to get dependable, efficient transportation without giving up comfort and everyday practicality? This 2006 Toyota Corolla SPORT sedan delivers exactly that balance, wrapping proven Toyota reliability in a stylish Phantom Grey Pearl exterior with thoughtful interior touches designed for daily driving. Under the hood, you’ll find a 1.8L DOHC 4‑cylinder engine with variable valve control, engineered for regular unleaded fuel and optimized for smooth, predictable performance. Paired with a 4‑speed automatic transmission with overdrive and lock‑up, it’s tuned for easy commuting and efficient highway cruising. Front‑wheel drive, a standard ride suspension, independent strut front suspension, and a torsion beam rear setup work together with gas‑pressurized shocks and front and rear anti‑roll bars to keep the ride composed and confidence‑inspiring.

ULEV II / Tier 2 Bin 5 emissions ratings reflect its focus on responsible efficiency. The SPORT trim adds visual flair to this Corolla’s practical sedan body. The Phantom Grey Pearl paint is set off by a body‑coloured front and rear bumper, side moldings, rocker panel extensions, and body‑coloured door mirrors and handles. A chrome grille and rear wing spoiler add a sporty edge, while 15 x 6‑inch silver aluminum wheels with P195/65SR15 all‑season tires deliver a clean, purposeful stance. Reflector‑style halogen headlights with multiple enclosed beams, front fog lights, and daytime running lights enhance visibility, and a high‑mounted centre stop light contributes to safety. Fully galvanized steel body panels with side impact beams and wheel security locks underline Toyota’s practical approach to durability and security. Inside, the cabin is laid out to make daily use straightforward and comfortable.

Bucket front seats are finished in cloth upholstery, with the driver seat offering 6‑way manual adjustment (including height), and the front passenger seat providing 4‑way manual controls. Height‑adjustable head restraints front and rear, along with a rear bench seat and 60/40 folding rear seatbacks, allow you to balance passengers and cargo with ease. Cloth door inserts, a cloth headliner with full coverage, carpeted floors, and front and rear floor mats create a cohesive, comfortable environment. Chrome interior accents and a leather‑wrapped steering wheel with a leather gear shifter add a subtle upscale touch. The layout is designed with everyday practicality in mind. You’ll find a full floor console with covered storage, a standard glove box, front and rear door bins, front and rear beverage holders, and a carpeted cargo area and trunk lid trim.

The trunk is easy to load and expand, thanks to fold‑forward rear seatbacks, making groceries, luggage, or school gear simple to manage. Convenience features focus on ease of use. Power windows for both rows, with driver one‑touch down, work alongside power door locks with two‑stage unlocking, keyfob keyless entry, auto‑locking doors, and a remote panic alarm. Light‑tinted windows, a manual tilt leather steering wheel, a driver foot rest, and manual climate control with a cabin air filter and rear under‑seat ducts contribute to everyday comfort. Illuminated entry, fade‑to‑off interior courtesy lights, front reading lights, and a variable instrument panel light ensure the cabin remains usable and clear in any lighting. A rear window defroster, variable intermittent wipers, and a day/night rearview mirror round out visibility enhancements. Instrumentation is straightforward and informative.

An analog display includes a tachometer, engine temperature gauge, trip odometer, digital clock, and exterior temperature readout. Multiple warning systems—battery charge, low fuel, low washer and brake fluid, oil pressure, door ajar, and key‑in‑vehicle reminders—are designed to keep you aware of the car’s status. An immobilizer provides added theft deterrence. On the safety side, this Corolla SPORT includes driver and front passenger airbags with an airbag occupancy sensor, front seatbelt pretensioners, front height‑adjustable seatbelts, a rear centre 3‑point belt, and three rear head restraints. Manual rear child safety door locks offer peace of mind for families. Braking is handled by front ventilated disc brakes and rear drums, assisted by a hydraulic power steering system that is speed‑sensitive for more controlled feel at various speeds. The audio and in‑car entertainment system is straightforward yet functional for its era.

A dashboard‑mounted single‑disc CD player combined with AM/FM radio feeds six standard‑grade speakers. Integrated roof antenna and a digital signal processor support clear reception and sound, while seek/scan tuning helps you find stations quickly. Two 12V power outlets provide basic device‑charging capability for phones or small accessories. With an odometer reading of 299,999 kilometers, this pre‑owned 2006 Toyota Corolla SPORT has clearly been driven and used, aligning with Toyota’s reputation for longevity when properly maintained. Its combination of efficient 4‑cylinder power, automatic transmission, thoughtful interior packaging, and practical safety features makes it a sensible choice for buyers who prioritize value, simplicity, and durability in a compact sedan.
