Trade 17 86 for a new Corolla?
I've been hearing on the radio how the Corolla has lots of HP, handles well, makes women want you, and has an 8-inch television in front of your face.
I've yet to hear anything for the 86. WTF. |

All of the above is true. And you can fit more kids in a Corolla. Why would anyone want an 86? The Corolla also has better cup holders and QI charging

If this is your idea of drifting, then the Corolla is a viable choice over an 86.

I actually own a 19' corolla hatchback, bought it for the wife. I think it is pretty fun to scoot about in. I do say after driving it a while it makes me really appreciate my FRS.
The 6 speed transmission is not bad, great for learning to drive manual on. The giant display is annoying. The engine I do like, it is very easy to work on, fairly straight forward, nice power delivery, although a little too quiet and revs up slower than I would like. I guess it is more powerful than previous corollas, but my 6 year old FRS easily feels much faster in terms of acceleration and obviously in another league in any sort of corner. One crappy thing about the corolla is Im getting about 23-25mpg which Im disappointed with, it is the manual version, and sure I slam through gears and drive it with gusto but still my FRS which I drive similarly maybe a little more spirited I get like 22ish mpg. The engine in the corolla is one of the most thermally efficient engines on the market so I expect it will last a while. It also does all the normal hatchback stuff the wife needs, so not a bad car but no where near as cool as my twin, but also cost a decent amount less. I use it as my grocery fetcher and it is fun to do errands with, and yeah I peel out in that thing and it does put a smile on my face even with FWD, just not as big a smile as the FRS. |

I had a Corolla loaner recently and didn't like it much. Lots of roadnoise, interior felt cheap, and the steering wheel was oddly canted so that one side was closer to the driver.
If you're going to trade-up for something, at least go with a Civic
