welcome abourd mate

[ericl33]

welcome abourd, how do the two compare, drivability wise?

[Steve D]

thanks guys !
well the corolla was a great car, however it was just so plain, even with lowered spring, whiteline strut brace, rear swaybar and TRD rear strut brace, it was flat around corners and very agile, but when it came to engine performance it lacked torque and that extra 1500 rpm or so :P but then again...it's just a corolla ! first thing i noticed when driving the euro was the throttle response, it's much different to the ''drive by wire'' manual throttle cable that the corolla had, you put your foot down in the euro and you just dont get that punch..but from what i'v read there are ways of fixing this, other then that...the euro has good power especially in the high rpm range like any vtec engine, it's decent on fuel and slowly slowly the handling is improving with mods !
