"bonjour" !!!

Hye, I'm French, and I'm new here !

I own a Toyota Corolla, but I think it's not totaly the same has yours. It's an european corolla. I think that for you it's an "hatshback", but I don't really know what "hatshback" mean !!!
There is photo of my Corolla in my profile.

Please be cool with my english, this is not my natal language, and I never been in England or in States.

Welcome to TN!

"Hatchback" is the word your looking for. Don't worry about your english too much. I'm sure we all understand what your trying to say.

Bienvenue au Toyota Nation! Did I say that right?

The photos of your car don't work.

Your english is fine. We have some french speaking members that probably wouldn't mind helping you translate difficult words. Otherwise, you can try an online tranlsation tool like this; http://www.google.ca/language_tools?hl=fr

I know a very small amount of French from school. Good for you for trying to learn English. You are doing very well

Wow! Your car is very nice. The Corolla here in North America does not come available in a hatchback version - only sedan (4 doors). What engine does the car have?

Wow, je suis d'accord! Elle est très belles ta corolla. C'est dommage qu'on puisse pas en avoir comme celle la au Canada, j'aurais bien aimer en avoir une .

Ton moteur, est-ce que c'est un 3ZZ-FE ?
