It was 1966 when Toyota’s golden boy was born, christened the Corolla. Five decades on and it’s still with us. It may not evoke a sense of emotion or giddy enthusiasm from most, but the Corolla is historically a world beater. The fact is this nameplate is the world’s best-selling car. So, when the Japanese giant releases a new clean-sheet design, it most certainly wants to get it right. Chris Bowen took the 2019 Toyota Corolla hatch for a decent run through Queensland’s Sunshine Coast region that you can read about here. But to see some of the ins and outs up close and personal here’s his full video review.
Chris was EFTM’s Motoring Editor for many years, driving everything from your entry level hatch to the latest Luxury cars through to the Rolls Royce.
He has been in the media for 20 years, produced three Olympic games broadcasts, attending Beijing 2008 & London 2012.
Strangely he owns a Toyota Camry Hybrid, he defiantly rejects the knockers.
Chris is married to Gillian and resides in Sydney’s North West. They have Sam the English Springer Spaniel and Felix the Burmese cat to keep them company, and recently welcomed baby Henry to the family.
He has now left EFTM, and writes freelance and runs his own Facebook Page “Bowen’s Garage”
