Bigger is not necessarily better. It depends on your personal taste and your needs. The Corolla weights 430lb more then Yaris, which is significant. Especially at the gas pumps or when you're flying around the turns.

Regarding engine, that 1.5L is extremely quick. It doesn't have the low end grunt and clutch take-up sucks. But if you can get past that, it's a very quick engine. The portly Corolla would be hard pressed to keep up with the Yaris, especially those Yaris's that aren't overloaded with the automatic transmission.

Also, at top speed, where weight is no longer the biggest factor, I'm able to easily take my Liftback to cut-out speeds (manual transmission), I doubt the new engine in the Corolla would do better.

speculation makes me

. even on the older 1zzfe my corolla outperformed my xA, stock for stock.

regarding the 1.5L engine being "extremely quick" i'm curious what you drove before you got it? ?

Anyone else get the impression Tamago just bought a Corolla and now he can't figure out why?
It's called Buyer's Remorse.

helphelp911 · 01-28-2009, 03:17 PM

i will take corolla if price difference < 1000

the most upset to me in yaris is the build quality.
my yaris has 40000km. i start hear those squeak sound while driving from the car body (like hatch, door etc).
my old carmy (10 years old) is still dead silent.

But I get 52 mpg quite often.

Do you get 52 mpg at the time you're going at 60 mph?
Or do you get average of 52 mpg from the whole tank?
