My mate test drove the 9th Gen and a Corolla SX and said the 9th gen had no guts at lower RPMs, relative to the Corolla. He said he felt like he had to push his foot down more on the accelerator to get the car moving.
The Corolla had much better pick up and more torque.
I'd recommend the Corolla over a 8th/9th gen.
they're all fun wheel drive and suffer from fundersteer under power hehe
True True. When I drive mums 2009 Corolla its quicker down low but top end FD is hands down better.
The only downside to the corolla is its gearbox. Its only 4 speed and its stupid as. Never knows which gear to be in.
I come out of a round about at about 40km-50km/h with m foot barely on the accelerator and its in second gear at about 4,000 revs.
As of Luxury/Comfort I'd pick a facelift FD2. Pre facelift is fine but im not a fan of the Grey leather. 2009 + FD2 for the black leather and sunroof
Apart from the gearbox Corollas are fun to drive. Zippy little things and handles VERY well.
runzo have u consider other cool small car
focus?
golf?
lancer?
Psssssssssss woooooshhhh....................hairdryer will be available shortly, makes fd slightly faster B-)
I actually will if you want LOL, we have a day dedicated to exploring sydney and shit
In regards to 9th gen not as zippy as a corolla. Compared to the previous gen corolla, the 9th gen feels heaps zippy compared to the corolla (sedan), but that could just be the particular one i drove. Also drove a different one (hatch) and that one felt zippy though. Havent driven the new ones yet
Comparing to an FD however, handling, seating position and interior hands down is better than the corolla lol
