Honestly, I was surprised by how positive their response to the Corolla was.
I had been worried that it was going to be another case of Toyota talking big about being more dynamic/enthusiast-focused, and then falling short on the delivery. Seems like they've actually hit the mark (for the most part) |

Hopefully, they clean up the CVT stop sale and recall quickly. It a shame to see the most popular model of an entirely new, well-received car stumble out of the gate.

It's not.. proper sports car per se. but it does drive really well and give you the comforts and is focused on sales and not the niche.... you want a niche car buy an FRS> comes with nothing but a manual and rwd. (i miss hillstart assist and keyless entry) Im excited for the new corolla but i have a feeling it wont sell as well as the sedan and less so in manual... |

You are correct, it's a 6 speed manual transmission. Medium/long feeling throw (at least compared to my FRS. It doesn't feel quite as locked into gear as the FRS either. However This cars transmission is far more forgiving than the FRS, so even not so smooth shifts feel "pretty smooth". It has some fancy IMT rev matching assist button you can toggle on and off. It is geared toward making it more easy to learn to drive stick. I personally find it bothersome while drive as it randomly hangs revs and just doesn't always act as I expect, so I keep it off. Shifting in the car feels well sorted, I really like throwing through gears in this thing. |
