Yes well he did mention that she was looking at a Corolla Ultima or a Civic Sport, either of which will be pushing close to $35,000 anyway.

It doesn't even have to be a VRX model, even the base model will be very well equipped with 7 airbags and ABS. In the States you can get a mid range model for around US$23,000, which also includes a 650W Rockford Fosgate sound system and a sunroof while the top of the range GTS comes with a proximity key similar to the ones used by Lexus.

Interesting fact: the new Lancer's torsional rigidity exceeds that of the current EVO 9.

new corolla looks hawttttt

if you want a hatch and manual.. corolla... corolla has 6 speed gear box standard =)

the new rolla for sure

Civics has auxiliary input, corolla does not. [has it optional]
Civics rolls in stylish 17", corolla does not.

agreed.

OP: definitely get the corolla. with the civic you're taking a gamble wrt build quality. my 12 month old civic has a 26-item long problem history, i wouldn't wish the same on anyone else.

The sunroof option doesn't appear to be offered with the Corolla Ultima.
Anyways, the automatic gearbox on the Corolla transforms the car into a nugget, if only they offered a 5 speed auto for this new model.
