I wanted the wife to get the iM but she didn't like the colour so got the radically different shade of blue on the Impreza.

But im not going to bother with those. I've probably long passed the whole 'modding' stage (did enough of it when I had my 06 Corolla XRS) and I don't think its really worth the hassle. Shifter and clutch action wasn't so bad that I can't stand them, I got used to it pretty quickly. Its all just adapting to the car and its quirks. If I got an FRS/86/etc any mods I ever would have done to them most likely would have just been aftermarket wheels and MAYBE an exhaust (and that would just be to make the car sound more 'sportscar', not for performance or anything) |

grats OP, though my pick would have been the new Corolla Hatch just for the iMT function. I don't care about rev matching systems in general, but for a commuter car it is perfect since afaik it is the first MT car to seamlessly work with adaptive cruise control where you can use the clutch and swap gears without disengaging it. I hope this helps create some resurgence and interest in MTs..

I definitely would have looked at the Corolla hatch, I like how it looks but i never actually test drove one.... lol. But if I was looking at a Corolla hatch I would have been looking at an 86 or FRS. FRS in the configuration I want (the nicer interior) aren't really out there, and an 86 GT costs too much at this time for me. Sometime down the line ill end up trading or selling the IM for an 86 GT, or a supra or a second gen 86...who knows. Oh that brings me to another weird point. The new Corolla has electronic E-brake. anyone ever drive a manual car with electronic ebrake? I would think it might be a bit....weird. Not sure how big of a deal it is but back when the Lexus IS250 had a manual the interior was tweaked to accommodate a handbrake (automatics had a foot brake), and the Camry when it had a manual also had a tweaked interior to have a handbrake. |
