The Toyota dealer here on Oahu has actually still has two new 2018 Yaris SE's. Everything moves way slower here than on the mainland. Kind of a hard sell since they are selling the 2020 Corolla for less.In 10 years... probably an electric hatchback of some kind. Preferably made by Toyota. We test drove a Chevy Bolt a few months ago but my wife hated the quality of the materials (cheap looking plastics, interior design, etc). |

I actually really like that interior. I see lots of stuff that could break, but it's aesthetically pleasing.

Sat in that Benz recently, and can't express how much I disliked that interior... every bit of it!

When I sold cars many years ago, an old car dog once told me, "There's an ass for every seat." A little crass, but nevertheless it's something I've always remembered, and I think it applies to so many things in life; we each have our likes and dislikes.
Here's the dash that is still one of my favourites to this day: 1973 Datsun 240Z. |

We have similar tastes.
That Benz interior is hideous. |

I tested out the 6-Spd manual versions of the both the new 2019 Corolla XSE hatch & 2020 Corolla SE sedan (not available in manual for XSE sedan) this last week at some local dealerships, since I am considering sticking with my lifelong habit of buying/driving nothing but manual transmission vehicles on my next car in 2020 as well. Offputting/odd front fascia styling choices by Toyota aside (surprise, surprise), both cars have the comfort/feel/performance of great daily drivers to them (& you can turn off all the stupid sensor features for idiot/texting drivers) - and will most likely have bulletproof reliability in their manual transmission forms. The fact that Toyota mates both port & direct injection together in their Dynamic Force GDI engine design also bodes well for the vehicle, versus other automakers who are using (flawed) straight-GDI engine designs (pretty much the one thing that is stopping me from considering the Mazda2/Yaris XLE (SkyActiv engine) hatchback in 2020). If I do decide to stick to my manual transmission car buying habit then one of those two manual 2020 Corolla's is likely going to be my next car. I still really enjoy my current car though, so who knows when I will get around to changing up anything.
![]() Top Choice currently if I stick to manual transmission vehicles - 2019/2020 Corolla XSE 6-spd Manual Hatch - Oxide Bronze Color (too bad no mid/dark gray color is available). Top Choice currently if I decide to buy my first automatic transmission vehicle - 2018 Yaris SE 4-spd Automatic Hatch - Whatever color that I could find in this hard-to-find model/trim.
