Hey Kalispel! Just wanted to thank you for answering all my questions. Guess what? I'm officially getting a new Corolla, too! I went to test drive the sedan recently. Had to take my mom along, because I don't know how to drive stick. My mom, who is by no means an auto enthusiast, couldn't stop talking about how much it was a blast to drive the Corolla. I also attempted to drive it around in an empty parking lot as part of the test drive. I was surprised by how easy it was for a total novice. Yes, I stalled numerous times, but for the most part, I was able to competently drive the car around in the parking lot up to second gear. I can definitely say that the Corolla is a great car for those who want to learn to drive a manual.

Ultimately, I decided to get the hatchback, in the SE trim. Because the only thing better than having one hatchback is having two hatchbacks, right? LOL! My Yaris will be getting a big brother. Anyway, because it's hard to find a manual, and the 2020 Corolla hatchback is so new, the dealership had to put in a factory special order for me. The sedan is made in Mississippi, while the hatchback is made in Japan. So, I'll have a little bit of a wait, because the car has to be shipped across the ocean. My new Corolla is scheduled to roll off the assembly line in Japan later this month, and is scheduled to arrive in Ohio in mid-February. Can't wait! I instructed the salesman to leave all the shipping plastic on the car and to not wash it, because I don't want some kid with a sponge grinding dirt into the paint and creating swirl marks. Will update with pics in a couple months once I get the car.
