4 Reasons to Test Drive the 2025 Toyota Corolla
Is the 2025 Toyota Corolla the ideal compact sedan for you? Thanks to its legendary reliability, comfortable ride, and impressive efficiency, the Corolla is a favorite among drivers around the world. It also comes with advanced tech features that keep the fun going, encouraging you to take the scenic route home.
1. Advanced Safety That Protects and Assists
You’ll feel confident every time you sit in the Corolla’s driver’s seat, because it protects you and your passengers with 10 airbags, side-impact door beams, and an extensive list of driver assistance features. It comes with Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist to keep you inside your intended lane, plus a Pre-Collision System that can prevent a collision with warnings and automatic braking.
The Corolla’s Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control makes highway driving more convenient, even when traffic slows down ahead. This system maintains your set speed until you approach a slower vehicle, then it automatically adjusts your speed to ensure there’s a safe distance between your Corolla and the car ahead.
2. Fun-to-Drive Performance
With EPA-estimated efficiency of 35 MPG combined, you can head out and explore more of the world in your Corolla. You’ll also love driving, because it has a 169-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and a Dynamic-Shift CVT that gives you more power from a stop with its fixed first gear. Driving dynamics can be tailored to your personal driving style, with Eco mode for improved efficiency and available Sport mode for quicker acceleration.
3. Toyota Audio Multimedia
It’s easy to keep the music playing in the Corolla, with its intuitive 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen. This display gives you access to vehicle and audio settings, so you can quickly select audio sources, including the radio, SiriusXM, or your connected smartphone. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto seamlessly link your phone to the display to mirror apps, stream music, or show driving directions.
4. An Interior Made For Comfort
Up to five passengers enjoy an ultra-comfortable ride inside the Corolla, with high-quality finishes and an automatic climate control system that regulates the cabin temperature. There’s also a dust and pollen filter that keeps the air inside clean.
You can see important driving information at a glance, thanks to the Corolla’s premium instrumentation cluster that includes a Multi-Information Display (MID). Whether you want to see the outside temperature, average fuel economy, or your odometer, you can find it all in the MID.
When you get behind the wheel of a Corolla on a test drive, you’ll be able to experience these features and more for yourself. Contact us today at Steet Toyota of Yorkville in Yorkville, NY, to schedule your test drive appointment at a time that’s convenient for you.
June 29th | Hilltop Fields, Frankfort, NY
At Steet Toyota of Yorkville, we believe in supporting youth sports and celebrating local talent—and this past weekend was no exception! On Sunday, June 29th, we were honored to present four MVP Awards to standout athletes in the NFL Mohawk Valley Flag Football League during their annual Awards Banquet held at Hilltop Fields in Frankfort, NY.
Our very own Brian Mathias, Sales Manager at Steet Toyota and a former football player himself, had the pleasure of handing out the MVP trophies to four incredible student-athletes who demonstrated leadership, skill, and sportsmanship all season long. It was an inspiring night, full of proud moments for players, families, and coaches alike.
We’re also proud to have sponsored a team in the league this year and to support what has become one of the fastest-growing youth sports programs in our area. As we shared in a previous post, the NFL Mohawk Valley Flag Football League has grown by over 40% year-over-year, and this past season saw over 150 girls joining the league—highlighting how inclusive and impactful this program has become.
The passion, teamwork, and community spirit that flag football brings to our region is something we’re truly proud to stand behind. Congratulations to all the MVPs and players on an amazing season—and thank you to the NFL Mohawk Valley Flag Football League for giving us the opportunity to be a part of such a meaningful event.

Saturday, June 7th | Utica, NY
The Steet Ponte Auto Group was proud to once again support one of our favorite community events: Wine in the Wilderness at the Utica Zoo! Held on a beautiful Saturday evening, June 7th, the event welcomed over 1,000 guests for a night of wine tasting, food, music, and wild animal encounters.
As the official Designated Driver Sponsor, we were thrilled to help promote safe and responsible fun by handing out $15 Uber gift cards to the first 100 attendees who pledged to be a designated driver. Helping guests get home safely is a mission we take seriously, and we’re proud to continue making that possible through events like this.
It was a perfect night at the Zoo—and the atmosphere was made even more exciting with the debut of their brand new dinosaur exhibit! The lifelike animatronic dinosaurs were a huge hit and are a must-see for kids and adults alike. If you haven’t checked it out yet, make sure to plan your visit before the exhibit wraps up in October.
While you’re there, don’t forget to stop by the Gibbons exhibit, proudly sponsored by the Steet Ponte Auto Group, as part of our ongoing partnership with the Utica Zoo. Supporting local attractions and safe community events is what we’re all about.
Thank you to everyone who came out to Wine in the Wilderness, and to the Utica Zoo for continuing to host such an unforgettable event. We’ll see you again soon!

4 Exciting Features of the 2025 Toyota GR Supra
If you’re after sports car thrills that don’t come with an exotic luxury price tag, the 2025 Toyota GR Supra is built for you. This performance coupe comes packed with all the necessary ingredients for an exhilarating drive: a robust turbo straight-six, standard rear-wheel drive, an available manual transmission, sharp steering, and a responsive chassis.
High-Output Straight-Six
The GR Supra is equipped with a 3.0-liter turbo inline-six unit that pushes out an immense 382 HP and 368 lb-ft of torque effortlessly. This allows the Supra to reach 60 mph in just 3 seconds and achieve a top speed of 155 mph! And thanks to efficiency-enhancing technologies, such as variable valve timing, this engine maintains excellent fuel economy, allowing the Supra to achieve up to 31 MPG on the highway, making it perfect for daily driving.
Track-Ready Performance Features
The Supra features every available high-performance feature under the sun to give enthusiasts the raw, engaging, and ultra-precise handling experience they crave. Like any true sports car, it’s rear-wheel drive with near-perfect weight distribution, giving it the superb balance it needs to stay planted through tight corners. Paired with the available six-speed manual, it engages your entire being with every well-timed shift. Meanwhile, the standard 8-speed automatic transmission comes with paddle shifters to deliver the best of both worlds.
To enhance stability even further, the electronic rear differential intelligently optimizes torque distribution, sending more power to the wheel with the most grip for maximum traction and control, while high-performance Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires maximize its road-holding capability. Meanwhile, the adaptive variable suspension continuously adjusts damping in real-time to match your driving style. During spirited driving, it firms up the ride for sharper handling. When cruising, it softens the suspension for a smoother, more comfortable ride.
Sophisticated Safety and Driver-Assistance Technology
To help you maintain a leash on this beast, various cutting-edge standard and available safety systems come into play. They include collision mitigation with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assistance, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, parking assistance, speed limit information, and more!
Luxurious Interior
The Toyota GR Supra driver-focused cockpit is designed to maximize your comfort, so you can enjoy its heart-racing thrills for longer. It features standard and available upmarket amenities such as heated, 14-way adjustable seats with lumbar control, carbon-fiber trim, an 8.8-inch-touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and navigation, wireless charging, a 12-speaker JBL sound system, and more!
