I Took Toyota's New Corolla On A Road Trip, And It Was Surprisingly Great

For hundreds or thousands of miles, you're stuck in a tiny space that may or may not have adequate air flow.
Depending on the destination, you might end up in totally new territory, making your navigation tools more than simple luxuries.
And on the longest trips, there's the headache that comes from watching the needle on your gas tank steadily creep towards empty.
A few weeks back, Toyota let me borrow a new, ~$20,000 Corolla S for my road trip from the Bay Area to Southern California to attend the Coachella Music Festival.
I'll be honest, as someone who personally drives an older model of the car as part of my commute, I expected the worst: a bumpy ride in a tight space for ten longs hours each way.
Instead, I was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the car fun to drive, it was also incredibly comfortable - something that can't be said for most cars its size.
