I used to have an Automatic Corolla (see my profile picture) while in the US. My main gripe with Corolla was the high engine noise, especially when accelerating. I have not tried the Indian corolla. Does it also have the same issue?

Since you stay in the US, your need for speed and ability to achieve that is higher than in India. I have not driven beyond 100 kmph in Corolla auto, and that speed the engine noise is not there. But yes some one on some website (some user) said that engine noise is high at around 140-150 kmph. However, it is not an issue at below 100 kmph, and I am not going to test it either at 140 kmph. What it definitely has is extremely low engine noise at practical Indian speeds (around 40-100 kmph). In fact I can from my own experience say that at low speeds you do not feel if the engine is on or not.
