IMO . the new corolla has a better instrument cluster.

I like, but I'm a less is more kinda guy.

GT interior is bland once you have sat in a GTS, but definitely not worth 6k extra.

For an additional $5.5k you get more than a fancy interior, Led DRLs, factory HIDs ( these alone cost close to $3k), slightly bigger brakes, 17" hideous wheels. ass warmers. ..yaris sat nav..digital climate control....and not to forget the keyless entry and engine start option.

so IMO worth the extra $.

Ah awesome. Thanks for the pic link.

Got to agree with Gir, black on black looks better. I like it because it is more uniform, not obliterated with shit everywhere. Materialistic and simple. That white outline on the tach looks like absolute shit tbh. Though having a digital speedometer readout also would be useful driving through areas of the city littered with those pesky speed cameras.

Are the seats in the GT cloth? or velour? Also is there a difference in the plastic quality on and around on the dash on the GT compared to the GTS? What material is it? Vinyl or that hard new plastic stuff?

Cheers for info.

Cloth. And surprisingly comfortable.

[os86]

I guess it comes down to personal taste.

Seats in both the models are cloth, except the GTS comes with a bit of leather trim on the sides.

The dash on the GTS has a carbon fibre overlay as opposed to plain plastic on the GT

The boot/spare wheel cover is hilarious... First thing to get tossed out! I honestly thought people were joking!
Oh well. Only a few more days left!

I sat in a GT today as well. I was very impressed with the interior, especially the seats. I would be very happy with it for $30k.

The rear seats though :O Tiny, but could be workable for short trips I think.

Good to hear. I have been very torn on the two since I ordered my Grey GT, and the financial controller has just said to me 'Why don't you get the GTS if it'll make you happier!' Wish she'd told me before, as I probably can't change my order now.

However, if the interior is comparable (apart from those hideous red inserts) then I can live with that. I had intended on putting an aftermarket stereo in it anyway, so the GT is probably the better for that, and I doubt I'll notice the other extras day to day.

From what people are saying, there is a lot of disappointment with the GT interior. I am glad I went with the GTS, in fact I never considered the GT. Looking at those pics, im also glad I ordered white, fuck it looks good under the light. Tornado Grey was my second choice but in a few pics ive seen it lacks body.

Who here has driven both the GT and GTS? How much does the ride differ between the 17" and the 16"s with more rubber?

Asked and received an answer to this question here. I'd be interested in any other thoughts though!
