Hey guys im about to buy a new car..I want something 4door with abit of space..and some power

Ive narrowed it down to an euro or sportivo and im stuck

corolla cons
around $13 to $15
6speed manual
1.8(cheaper to run?)
Smaller car(less wear and tear service cost?)
more sporty looking

euro
around $13
More spacios
5speed manual(relaxing)
2.4 dont need to rev the **** out of it to get power
nice long legs for country driving

So my question is what do you guys think?
never driven a euro so whats it feel like? bit and heavy? hows the power ive driven a k24 on ek and boy it goes! lol but how about on euro.?
hows the 5speed auto? sluggish? do they come tiptronic?
and lastly fuel and service cost?

thanks
