I think I would have to agree 100 % with what you have said. I have a 2009 XLE with the larger/wider tires and with alloy wheels and I have been defending the EPS steering for over a year now. I experience none of the drift that I hear about on this forum. In fact, I just love the light feel of the steering and find it to be a wonderful innovation.

2010 Corolla S Manual by michelrs

I took a test drive in the 5-speed. I noticed the stick goes back to a "neutral" position after shifting. My other manuals, the stick stays in the position of the gear. On the Corolla, it looks like it's in 3rd, even if you're in 4th. Is this normal? It felt weird at first, but I got used to it quickly. Other than that, shifting was smooth and easy.
Thanks.

HUH? If the shifter is moving, there is a big problem. I don't think it really was going back to a "neutral position" - I think you were just used to something different. If you got used to it and it felt fine and drove fine, then it is just that you are used to something different.
 
The only complaints about the manuals are rev hang, and from what I read all manufacturers' manual transmission models have it to get the emissions better. Rev hang is when you take your foot off the accelerator to shift to the next higher gear, but the rpms still do not drop for a while, kind of like if you did not take your foot off the accelerator.
 
Nice to see someone interested in manuals - I thought I was the only one!!!!

Bought a Corolla 8 days ago at 4.9% APR... now 0%?! by eldobo

I bought a 2010 Corolla S on 11/14 with the 4.9% APR deal. Now this week they moved to a 0% APR for the car. Do I have any leverage to go back to the dealer and request the new APR?

Thanks for the reply. What I'm used to (in my Jetta and Ion) is that when I go to say 4th or 5th gear, the shifter actually looks to be in 4th or 5th. In the Corolla it looks like it's in neutral or maybe 3rd, but it runs like it's in 4th or 5th. The shifter also moves freely back-and-forth once in gear, but that doesn't seem to mess up what gear it's in. Just a little confused, don't want to buy a new car with gear issues!

I have not heard or read about any problems with manual transmissions in Corollas or Camrys. As I said, the rev hang is there, but it is with all new manuals due to the emissions controls, from what I read. My new 2010 Camry 6 speed manual has the rev hang, but it is not a problem, especially once you get used to it.
 
OK, yes, I understand what you are asking about looks, and that is just the difference in cars - all cars have different shifter set-ups, and they can feel different than others (and I'm sure look different too). I am still confused about "shifter also moves freely back-and-forth once in gear, but that doesn't seem to mess up what gear it's in." It should not move by itself at all, or maybe just a tiny bit (like a 1/16 inch or less back and forth as you press on the gas and then release it).

I'm going for another drive in another car on Monday. If it's the same as this one, I'll assume all is fine.
It's just that I've driven manuals all my life (here and in Europe) and have never encountered anything like this before. I was a little confused about how it felt.
I'll keep you posted.
