A Civic losing to a........ Corolla?

Don't care if this is posted already or not, jus found this news out.. if its old news, sorry...

2003 Corolla

looks sort of like an echo [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

but it has a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder twin-cam engine with VVT-i (like v-tec) amounting to 130 horsepower

I don't mind the look of the Corolla too much. The "S" edition looks like it's equipped nicely. Looks like another car to race with on the road.

I like the new look.... It actually looks sporty. (Not like a chick car) Not bad for a sedan, especially for $15K or less.

i like it. yeah the front is kinda ugly but the rest of it i think is a goodlooking car for a 4-door. but is it just me or are toyota's and lexus's looking more and more alike as the days go by...? from the antenna going out the back to the interior, this new corolla is reminding me a little too much of my best friend's lexus iS.

it's not bad. Put an underbody kit, a clean wing and some 17"s and the car will look just fine. As for performance, it has a much better chance than our cars since it's a DOHC.

I dont think it looks too much like the IS. Although toyotas and lexus have amazing build quality and residual value [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

The Corolla has come a long way this year. You'd be surprised if you drove one. When the VVT-I kicks in it ***** and gets...They have a very crisp suspension and steering, which means excellent cornering and also good braking. The acceleration is good even in the automatic. The car is really attractive if you see one up close.

Speaking of attractive, is that a picture of you Kori? If so, which one is you? Regardless which one, dang your hot!

My friend just got a new 03 corolla 3 days ago. I really wanted to race him and test out the 1.8L DOHC engine, but he was still in the break in stage. Too bad.

Actually, yea, the 2002 Corolla S isn't that bad of a car. It's it's really very comparable to a 2002 Civic. When I was car shopping I looked at one and droove a 5-speed and it's really pretty nice. I could have gotten a pretty good deal on it, a good deal less then the civic but ended up still taking the Civic. (= But my Dad brought the Corolla cause I didn't and it was that much of a good deal, at the dealer at that. hehe

I like it...I think it looks sporty. I would buy one. and I think they could beat the 2k1 civic at least off the line because they have so much more torque. But the car I really like the the Matrix...The only thing is that car needs to be lowered a lot. But everything else is cool.
