Driving in Australia is great, but you have to stay on the left side of the road. The traffic is not dense, even in a big city like Perth, Adelaide or Melbourne. I never saw a traffic jam like the one Europe has. Speed limits, cities, touristic attractions and villages are clearly indicated. Fuel is cheaper, the cars are bigger and more sportier and dirt tracks give driving an adventurous flavor.
Police are strict on speed limits and you have to be careful for suicidal wild animals. But apart of that, I loved driving in Australia.
The Toyota Corolla is one of a line of subcompact and compact cars manufactured by the Japanese automaker Toyota, which has become very popular throughout the world since the nameplate was first introduced in 1966. In 1997, the Corolla became the best selling nameplate in the world, surpassing the Volkswagen Beetle. Over 39 million Corollas have been sold as of 2012.[citation needed] The series has undergone several major redesigns.
The name Corolla is part of Toyota's naming tradition of using the name Crown for primary models: the Corona, for example, gets its name from the Latin for crown; Corolla is Latin for small crown; and Camry is an Anglicized pronunciation of the Japanese for crown, kanmuri.
Corollas are manufactured in Japan and in Brazil (Indaiatuba, São Paulo), Canada (Cambridge, Ontario), China (Tianjin), India (Bangalore), Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, South Africa (Durban), Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and Venezuela. Production has previously been made in Australia (Victoria) and the United Kingdom (Derbyshire). Production in the United States (Fremont, California) ended in March 2010.
