Replying to: sandman46 (May 14, 2008 9:25 am) I looked at a Corolla LE yesterday and you are right the interior looked more like a CE interior used to. Suprisingly there was only 1 Corolla on the showroom floor although the salesman said they had loads in stock. There was no Prius on the floor either. The slaesman said they were out of them and the next 7 Prius's would be getting were already sold.   I thought the driving position was better in the Corolla then the Civic because I could see part of the hood. I could not tell where the front of the car was in the Civic since I could not see the hood at all. I do like the body shape of the Civic better though.   I wonder how the A/C is on the Corolla, the new Camry has had some complaints that it does not get cold enough.   There are few XRS models and professonal reviews note that it has a rough ride. If professional reviewers who always value handling most of all say it has a rough ride the ride must be bad.

Replying to: smallcar1 (May 14, 2008 7:38 pm) I'm 6'5" and can't see the front of any car I've ever driven except for a '96 Tahoe SUV. The rest all have raked hoods that I can maybe see the two or three inches closest to the windshield, but no further.   None is easier to see the front end of than another; and that includes a 2004 Corolla that I used to drive fairly regularly.

Replying to: smallcar1 (May 14, 2008 7:24 pm) I'm in NY and that is still better than the 22-26 MPG I get in my '96 Altima w/ a 2.4L.   Yeah, but MY number was with 90% highway driving...my commute is i84 to i684 to exit 2. I spend about 52 miles on the highway and 2 miles on "other" stuff, each way. Actually, maybe that's 95%.... Replies to this message: smallcar1 (May 15, 2008 11:17 am)

Replying to: smallcar1 (May 14, 2008 7:38 pm) The A/C in the Camry is ice cold - no complaints here, and I have not read that complaint on the 3 websites I visit - where did you see that?   I have not heard anyone complain about the new Corolla's A/C temperature either.

Replying to: mcdawgg (May 15, 2008 4:29 am) There were so many complaints about the A/C on the Mazda3 that the hosts moved the discussion to its own topic for Mazda3 claimate control issues.

Replying to: bpizzuti (May 15, 2008 2:19 am) For all highway mileage that is low.   I'm in Brooklyn and use the car mostly on weekends so I am sometimes in traffic during the day but come home late at night so there is no traffic on the highway then so half my trip is at a steady 60 mph.

You must be around White Plains...right? Used to be right up the pike from you in Briarcliff for many years. Not sure how my 4 cylinder Civic would handle all those hills in Westchester. Or any 4 cylinder car for that matter. Last time I was there, the rental company gave me a brand new Impala LTZ because of my spinal issues and I must say that car could handle any hill I threw at it with no problem. And there was one hill overlooking the Hudson towards Scarborough that almost killed the 6 cylinder Grand Am that I had the previous year. Down here in South Florida a small econocar is a good thing but if I still lived up north, I'd definitely want a 6 cylinder car at least.   The Sandman Replies to this message: bpizzuti (May 15, 2008 4:55 pm)

Replying to: sandman46 (May 15, 2008 4:02 pm) Actually, I work in Rye Brook, which is in between White Plains and Greenwich, CT. I live in Beacon, NY though.

Replying to: sandman46 (May 14, 2008 9:25 am) We shopped the Civic EX against the Corolla XLE. We liked the inside of the Civic a little better-more refined, but liked the styling of the Corolla.   As far as pricing, the Civic EX was $18,900 and the LX was about $17,700. The Corolla XLE was the same as the Civic EX but with NAV that went up to $19,900.   We liked the XLE but in the end went with the Civic because my wife liked the Royal Blue Pearl color. The interior of the XLE was really light either gray or beige. Probably should have waited for the traction control on the 2009 model but needed the car right away.   Good luck shopping.
