Hi all!

Hi guys-

I Just wanted to express how impressed I am with my new corolla S
5-speed manual..I just really was taken by it from the initial test
drive..Depressed because I found myself having to sell my 2007
FJ Cruiser, I decided (reluctantly) to look at the corolla...Upon
entering the vehicle, I was overwhelmed with the build-quality..Then,
upon driving it, I was amazed at, not only its smoothness, but the
quality of every switch, solidity of the interior, and wonderful luxury
features, such as Bluetooth, self-starter, and, XM radio. In fact,
I found the car so impressive, I decided (literally) with-in 60 seconds
that I wanted to purchase one. So, I told the salesman that I'd like
a Magnetic Gray 5-speed, with sports package, and all those features
that were on the test model..And, I just love it..Now, I don't really
miss the FJ all that much; especially, the frequent trips to the gas station.
I feel lucky to be able to drive such a nice "economy" car!

If I am not mistaken, you have to put premium gas for your FJ Cruiser too, heh...

Anyway, I felt in-love with my 'rolla soon after I test-drove it as well...I just couldn't not take it home

That the exact same way I feel about the corolla. What's not to love about it? Everybody likes money...to get a reliable, fuel efficient and sporty looking car...it saves money in the long run. Less trips to the gas station and garage while driving an affordable car.

I have a Barcelona Red S with a manual. I had a 97 corolla and drive it to over 305,000 kms. Traded it in for the 09.

I actually saw the old car the other day. A younger woman was driving it. it made me happy to see it...now I'm rambling.
