Rallystanza Forums Junkie Location: Melbourne Registered: May 2004	Re: The Unspoken 2005 Corolla Sportivo Update Sat, 03 September 2005 01:27 My mother bought one of these new Sportivo Corolla's and has clocked up about 1800kms on it to this day. I Have driven it on several ocassions and the car drives very nicely. Good points it has are incredible value for moey, you get an awesome engine, with all leather, climate control, and all the b/s electronic items that are found in cars far exceeding the Sportivo's RRP. The engine is only marginally uninspriing below as about 6500-6800 rpm, but after that it is very competent and provides the 'sporty' experience. The car does handle quite well and is responsive and the brakes as said above are still very 'driver' operated. Which is something lacking in a lot of the "sports" cars. These cars almost kow when your going to fuck up and take over, in my mind, this is shit. Interior is very asthaetically pleasing and ergonomic, and stylish. I am coming from driving an extremely stiff, fully sick sprinter where I have done nearly all the suspension mods and have a race bucket seat installed also, so the handling is amazing and hard to get into a modern car such as the rolla and try to feel the sprotiness of the ride, as for me everythin g now feels like a boat. But that said, considering it is a Corolla with a Sportivo edge, I think toyota has done enough for the Sprotivo tag without wanting to scare too many people off with a ragged ride. They have found a happy medium and in my experience a very competent modern car for all types of driving that can be performed safely on public roads. Im off to acitivate some more VVTLi, Jeremy [Report message to a moderator]
