THE Sportivo's power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering is unaltered from other Corollas, with only the shortened springs bringing a slight change in steering geometry. This generation Corolla received a new steering box with a revised pinion helix angle, which is claimed to improve on-centre feel and reduce noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). Revised power steering valve characteristics are also said to improve initial turn-in and corner tracing. The steering wheel is adjustable for height only.
