We’ve been shopping for a new DD for my wife for months. Last week a manual Corolla showed up locally. Price was right, 20,500 paid for an xse. And manual.

I’d like to drive that one time. I have a 91 Corolla that is the best car ever. I drove an ‘01 not too long ago with an auto and I was honestly surprised by how well it drove.

If Missus is happy with the car, then life is good.

It's really nice. And can outpace my NB Miata in a straight line.

Hey Zoidberg 20 grand, it’s 1/40th the price of an ordinary house around here.

So far so good. Well take a road trip after break in is done. But first impressions are that it will be okay after 6 hours.

I think they got a manual by mistake. They wanted it gone.

All of our cars have been manual. This was a nice surprise. So the streak continues.

Me too. I was ready to take one for the team and get a cvt. Then this one showed up fully loaded and manual for less than the base package.

Ha, I was aiming that at a member here who wants one of those Corollas, but has cheapskate tendencies.

I think it could give my NB a run for it's money. We will see at autocross.
