Decent tires would go a long way toward improving grip.
Ironic that Corolla increased sporting points by going to multilink rear while previous segment handler Mazda 3 hatch went to twist beam and Kardashian Design.
Agree, clutch is feather light but is listed as a feature, L-PEC, along with the dual-mass flywheel DMF.
It isn't a GTI, but is $$$ less and more distinctly styled in a sea of clones, IMO.
In my region, there's $500 cash back and/or lease deals. Combined with dealer discounts, it's easy to find Corolla Hatch M/T's for 2.5K under MSRP, ~$22K. Not bad for the content although you'd have to switch from Android to Apple to get Waze and Google Maps. Otherwise would be a great DD with near hybrid fuel economy without the annoying CVT drone.
