Found a like-new 2014 and decided to go for it. The 2014 is a different car with a more Corolla-like driving experience; it has softer suspension and a quieter cabin. The 2007 felt more like a sport car; the 2014 is somewhat refined... but has lost a lot of it's wonderful character. I'm not unhappy with the 2014 after all it's a Toyota.

Anyway, I did a wheel swap between the two cars, and I plan to rebadge as soon as new emblems arrive from Japan. Found a new set of 2015 floor mats (they fit perfectly) on craigslist for just $25. Now, I'm looking for a cargo mat and front mudflaps.


Here are a couple of photos... old and new:

Thinking about installing fender repeaters, but apprehensive about drilling those holes.

I like the small OEM spoiler; otherwise, I'm no fan of spoilers.

Repeaters for the blinkers, same as the mk2 had. Other countries get these as standard equipment.

No idea why the US version deleted these; they are an important safety feature.
