i fully acknowledge the blandness of the corolla. i have a sedan out of necessity, but prefer hb's by far. i just dont see the point of the yaris sedan as they are currently priced. i get similar mileage, but ride in more comfort and quietness and still paid just under $15k.


to the topic, i see 5-6 sedans on the lot for every 1 hb. i assume they are more plentiful so would be the easier find on the used lot. they definitely seem a bit more upscale than the hb interior wise, so i can see why they cost more new.

You got the base model right? Does it have P/W?
My mom has an 06' Corolla with an auto and it moves pretty good. I bet your Corolla with the 5 speed has some decent pep to it.
Did you get the green one??

i had to add pw's myself (at a cost of only $362). total bs that to drive a stick w/ a 2009+ corolla you have to get either the base or the s model, but not the most popular model , the le. about as much sense as toyota finally offering the 5 door yaris hatch, but only in auto

i figured you were poking fun at the green corolla color. have never seen one, but its an interesting color. i doubt my 5 speed is much faster than my 5 speed yaris hatch was, but its more fun because the shifting dynamics are much smoother.

No, seriously, I do like the green!
I saw one at the dealer, real sharp looking.
Do you get the DBW delay when you step on the gas like the Yaris has?

the corolla has more wiggle room for negotiation. plenty of folks are currently getting the base model at $14k (and even less) over at toyota nation and the le w/ power windows/locks still under 15k. definitely a buyers market for any car with the economy in the toilet.
