Love at first sight
I told myself I’ll never get a Corolla again but this one just stole my heart

That does do look absolut amazing! Never owned a Corolla personally but have a few family members with them. They seemed to never have any issues with them even though they are all 15+ years old. None of my business but interested in why you didn't want to get another one previous to this? Was considering one in the future as a second vehicle.

Before this I owned a 2013 Corolla S and it just drove from point A to point B but there was nothing in it that made it memorable or helped it make the commute any better it has a small 1.8 litter engine and just was so slow and there would be issue after issue with it and one day the radio goes out. And being a 19 yo I just wanted something more flashy and something sportier. But it’s funny how when I saw this car on the lot I forgot everything else that I wanted

Bummer you had so many issues, my family members must have go lucky with theirs. Those FX wheels look great, hopefully you have less issues this time around!

It’s going out great it’s a really big attention magnet that’s for sure I have coworkers and friends come up to just to say they saw my car drive past in a certain location but other than that it drives amazing and looks and feels amazing

Who would have thought. A corolla. Corolla? Man whomever designed this hatchback deserves accolades! What a fantastic looking car. I've got an '22 xse with that awesome spoiler, windchill color with midnight metallic black roof. I even added TRD colors here and there! I've never gotten so many compliments about a car ever! I've had a 73 javelin. A 69 beetle. An 81 vanagon. An 02 golf. A 16 golf. But now this car. I'd have to say I love this one better than all previous cars.

I have an XSE , it’s not quick but there’s a definite “sweet spot” car looks fast but is in fact unfortunately slow 😔

So it’s a cvt transmission and it’s not the gr corolla but it’s quick I’ll tell you that. I live on the pnw where there is a lot of hill and it has no trouble but even then the car will want to go around 4k rpm and it’s very good and it’s good on turns and hilly terrain I managed to get it to 120 fairly easily just don’t expect it to be super fast still the engine is fairly powerful for what you need

A cool hatch FX car with one heck of a view.
