If it could accommodate child seats a bit better, I’d like it even more.

The biggest problem with it is no sunroof. Webasto makes one for it, but still

More cool colors would be nice too

It doesn’t come with one at all? That sucks. I like a sunroof.

That also explains why my search for one with a sunroof came up with nothing.

I think they look quite nice. I don’t think I’d want one personally, but I have no problem with them.

Sunroof is only available on the sedan, and I think only on automatic only trims of the sedan too.

The sunroof market is weird. You Google “why does the Ranger not have a sunroof,” nothing . No one (except me) asks about it. Meanwhile, people online  are loud about the Golf R, a much more niche car, not having one.

A big draw for the RAM 1500 is the panoramic roof. Big screen first, then the big roof. It turns out more truck people seem to like the sunroofs than the availability seems to hint. That’s why Nissan rushed one out when they didn’t have one available at all before for the Titan.

There’s a vehicle that comes with a big sunroof pretty much standard, it’s available in bright  red, dark green, and a couple shades of blue, and it’s a much better deal than a Corolla hatchback.

I still wish the Cayman came with a sunroof. Admittedly it would be very small b ecause of the roof slope/size, but it’s not like they didn’t make a mail-slot sunroof for the 911 back in the day.

I have a Boxster as a work-around, but it’s the one (missing) option that would keep me from moving to a 981 Cayman.

My paid-off Mazda6 does, too. Which is why I’m not seriously car shopping. Haha

The Ram and Golf aren’t as good as a Corolla. Toyota makes the best cars :o)

I will admit to liking the Mega Cab more than I should

“Not seriously considering car shopping” is a good place to be in life. It’s  a new one for me but I like it.

The regular Golf  and GTI both have available sunroofs so the R thing is more WTF than the Ranger if the Ranger just doesn’t have one anywhere in any trim period. VW could definitely get away with a $1,500 sunroof option on the R I think.

Right? It’s refreshing to have a reliable, new-ish car that doesn’t cost anything. I just peruse car ads for fun now.

Do they still make manual Corolla sedans? All the ones I see are auto.

The 6 speed is offered, though  only on the SE and XSE trims I believe.
