so just got back from seeing the new corolla. seems like a winner to me. the price should be around 14.2 on road for the top of the line manual and 15l for the auto
the auto is the same 4 speed i think but its got a tiptronic function. i wish toyota had given a 5 speed with paddles.
here are the features it has over the civic -
cruise control
multi information display
HIDs
headlamp washers
8 way powered drivers seat
music system controls on the steering wheel
telescopic steering wheel
the car looks like a mini camry (not saying its a bad thing). it looks pretty sporty and is a change from the civic. the rims though are about as bad as the civic. lol.
the interiors are seem more luxurious than the sporty interiors of the civic. it seems to be solidly built.
the engine is 132ps and has 170nm of torque. should be fun to drive.
one peculiar thing i noticed is that the headlamps had HIDs but no projectors.
i think this should sell alot and will probably take a bite out of the civics market share. a big bite. |
