new 141kw corolla sportivo ?

[Sir R33]

so what do you na boys think of the new 141kw toyota corolla sportivo with the celica motor and 6 speed box for $29,990

[nismoman18]

bah try driving it man, that should tell u. Its just a toyota shitbox, no driver feel, so what if it does 0-100 in 8.3 seconds. Take it for a real drive and everything is shite. and its a puller, i hate pullers!

[Mr. Oizo]

i'd like it...

but then again... my standards are low... seeing as any car will do for me...

[nismoman18]

if i were to choose between this and a kia rio however id have to choose the corolla

[Mr. Oizo]

lol... if i had 30k to spend on a car.. i'd get an FC RX-7 and put a BN Sports Aero Kit onto it..

or a AE86 Trueno... complete initial D style...

for a new car tho... most likely this one...

[Nismodified]

id rather get a base model BA falcon...

8.3 0-100 isnt that good, considerging the little weight it should have.

[Pva_Glue]

nice car but not on RED...

black

[Sir R33]

i think it should do a low 15sec quater mile because i've seen sss pulars do low 15's in near stock condiation and they only make 103kw's

[nismoman18]

but the pleasure of driving a skyline is still much better

[Nismo_R33]

I think pulsar SSS is lighter than corolla. I had a SSS before, some light mod. and it had 88kw at the front wheel. It weight about 1100kg only...

Still miss my SSS after I got my skyline...

vanquish 4 me pls

modified to be 4WD as well

there's certainly something to be said about power/weight ratios, thats for sure... and surley the plastic fantastic that they make toyotas out of HAS to give it a pretty attractive ratio, right? c'mon guys, power only gets you so far. After that it's gotta have style or individuality. and a stock corolla ? really.... you shoud be ashamed

[WHITE R32]

mate these things haul ass when the v-lift cuts in ive driven several at at decent rate of knots...... they are sweet cars i would swap my r32 for one any day of the week.......i work at toyota just incase u diddnt know.....

[Mr. Oizo]

they shoulud bring one out without the extra features like leather etc.. to lower the price...

[Nismodified]

they should drop in the 141kw engine into the toyota Mr-2 and use a genuine 6 speed with closer ratios then the current.

now that would be something, mid ship engine, light weight, frantic top end, Rwd..

[WHITE R32]

i actually found the power band in the sportive rolla too high and too narrow to actually be very usable..... they still go good though....

[Nismodified]

well, funny u say say that White R32,

because when the celica of the same engine and 6speed came out, there was a lot of complaint that changing from 1st to 2nd gear caused you u drop out of the 'higher cam',

and thus out of the good power range.

this did no favours to the 0-100 sprint for the car. The only way to get around this was to shift right at or just before the cutout, and rip the shift knob as hard as u can.

[Nismodified]

[Guest Miss_Nismo]

I wouldn't buy one, not my style. But the boss bought one and I thought it was pretty good for a little scooter.
