Engine
The 1.8 liter engine produces 130 hp @ 6,000 rpm and 125 lb-ft of torque @ 4,200 rpm - on regular gas. The 2003 is faster than the 2002. It uses Toyota Direct Ignition (TDI) and other tricks for ultra-low-emissions status. (Direct ignition should not be confused with direct injection.)
Gas mileage: 32 city, 40 highway (5-speed); 29 city, 38 highway (automatic)
The 1ZZ-FE (engine) changes for the 2003 Corolla is primarily the larger I.D. throttle body and the switch to the plastic intake manifold shared with the Celica and MR-2 Spyder which has the shorter intake runners. If the North American market had the Direct Injection, the engine will be labeled 1ZZ-FSE, with the 'S' signifying Direct Injection.

2002 model year changes
Pricing for the 2002 Corolla is actually lower for popular option packages. The CE starts at $12,568, while the LE starts at $13,383, at least $2,000 less than in the past. Otherwise, the 2002 Corollas are identical to the 2001 models.
2001 model year changes
The 2001 models have better headlights (4-beam), new front and rear styling, new fabrics, and, in some models, map lights on the rear view mirror and dual rear cup-holders with a larger rear center console. The VE is gone, replaced by a sporty-looking and bare-bones S model whose price ranges from $13,000 to $17,000. Gas mileage is slightly better. An inside-trunk safety release has been added.
