XRS or S

[dj2000lbs]

I own a 2009 XRS I like the car a lot the 2.4VVT is so nice and smooth. If your unsure about buying the S or XRS def go with the bigger motor. I test drove both and really considered getting the S But I am so happy i didn't. no offense 1.8ers I just love the torque and with the 5-speed manual its a blast to drive!

not again...

oh YA

[O.O]

Meh, its personal preference.

With the 2.4 you get less mpg and a higher cost.

I much prefer the ZRX over the XRS........and just about any other car, for that matter.

This is relevant to my interests.

In my opinion the S just seems like it's pretending to be fast with the body kit but it has none of the goods. I would only buy the S if I were just interested in looks.

.......and what's fast about an Xrs at 16 sec in the 1/4 mile?????

Oh when I said fast I meant in relation to other Corollas. Not to other cars. Haha! A fast Corolla.

My guess is the S is the slowest of the auto 1.8s, since it is the heaviest.

and the heaviest of the manual transmissions.

so, for getting the "sport" model, you get the slowest 1.8 model corolla.

now i know why the the auto xrs i test drove didnt feel dramatically faster than the base model manual transmission. its not much hp for a car weighing in right at 3000 lbs.

GO FOR THE S


Its pretty zippy, and why need to go fast? You'll miss all the hunnies walking down the street :-P

Go with what you think is best. That is the best choice! ......but seriously, get the XRS.

ahh.yet another s vs xrs thread.... these usually turn into name calling fights between the mazda 3 and the corolla...
