ok, this is the third time i have had to do this because the thing keeps signing me out.
you would have to hack the car to get it 200lbs heavier than the elise. which wouldnt be good.
the 2003 + car is crummy and cheaply built. the seats are for sumo wrestlers and its a big, clumsy tall car. it has nothing in common with corollas built anywhere else really, and was made just for the N.A. market.
dont waste your money on a new car, it'll depreciate like crazy, buy a 2002 corolla for less than 15k canadian and get a much nicer can, you can pop in a 1ZZ a 2ZZ or even a 4AGE 20V, the car actually shares some similarities with other markets corollas so it wont be as much of a pain to pop in a 4AGE 20V. the engine mounting spots might be fairly similar.
