correcto,
the brakes on the new 02 corollas are absolutely brilliant for a run of the mill econocar- for any small car actually!

At wakefield, they never showed signs of fading all day, and even on the crappy low grip tyres were able to outbrake much more exotic machinery. The abs system is not too intrusive either, you can modulate braking power very easily.
For everyday driving, which i suspect most people will use the corolla for (lol), the brakes are MORE than adequate.

p.s this test was with a '02 corolla levin stationwagon.

Id much rather a well balanced braking system than a blingin 8 piston setup[just for the sake of having 8 pistons] anyday.
