#517 of 879 This arguement is DEAD!!!! by jcturbo Dec 19, 2006 (2:01 pm)
Didn't Motortrend compare all these cars a year and a half ago?? Hands down the Corolla XRS destroyed the others in Acceleration, Handling, Stoping, and MPG's. They gave the vote to the Mazda 3 though because of the optional Nav system and HID lighting.   They straight said the Corolla was fun to drive but it's not for Lazy Drivers!!!! and Most American's are Very lazy drivers, and believe me there's a lot of shifting going on in the XRS, nothing sounds better than dropping it from 6th to 3rd gear on the Fwy Replies to this message: thegraduate (Dec 19, 2006 2:07 pm) rorr (Dec 19, 2006 2:14 pm) thegraduate (Dec 19, 2006 2:18 pm) eldaino (Dec 20, 2006 5:51 am) aviboy97 (Dec 20, 2006 10:51 am)

Replying to: thegraduate (Dec 19, 2006 2:07 pm) Actually, this argument IS dead.   The '07 Corolla is not offered as an XRS model. Toyota killed it in '06. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Dec 19, 2006 2:18 pm)

Replying to: rorr (Dec 19, 2006 2:14 pm) Well, the new Corolla should be debuting any day now, which will liven things back up I would think.

not likely going to liven anything up....Dual VVT-i and it only gained 4hp over the current engine Replies to this message: thegraduate (Dec 19, 2006 6:37 pm) jcturbo (Dec 19, 2006 7:15 pm) thegraduate (Dec 19, 2006 7:31 pm)

Replying to: jcturbo (Dec 19, 2006 3:22 pm) This segment isn't all about power, ya know! Most buyers of $16k-$19k cars aren't racers or speed demons. They want a compromise of capable handling, comfortable ride, safe power/braking, safety features, and interior luxury, with economy as a bonus. I meant the new Corolla should liven up the conversation, not necessarily a driver's pulse. Replies to this message: jcturbo (Dec 19, 2006 7:15 pm) thegraduate (Dec 19, 2006 7:31 pm)

Replying to: thegraduate (Dec 19, 2006 6:37 pm) I know what you mean....but how much money did they invest into a new engine design....THAT WEIGHS MORE than the 1ZZ-FE and doesn't exactly out perform. I just hope the engine is tuned for more mid-range response. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Dec 19, 2006 7:31 pm)

Replying to: jcturbo (Dec 19, 2006 7:15 pm) I hope so too. With Dual VVT-i it should be better as far as torque across the rev-range is concerned. Also, I wonder if its fuel economy improved even more?

Replying to: jcturbo (Dec 19, 2006 2:01 pm) Well a year and a half ago i guess its understandable that a xrs would beat a civic. But whats the point in bringing that up now? I read a review from 1994 about a ford contour vs. a civic hx and the contour won. Think that going to swing any opinions on the cars now?   The new civic would hold up fairly well against a corolla xrs. The si would 'destroy' it.

Hands down the Corolla XRS destroyed the others in Acceleration, Handling, Stopping, and MPG's   Well, the XRS is no longer made, and the Mazda3 in that comparo was an automatic, not manual like the others. The XRS also had a solid rear axle, I do not know how it handled better. I have never seen anything anywhere else that a Corolla handled better then a Civic or Mazda3.
