Interesting article though she wont be getting the sportivo caus Id assume some comfort is sacrificed for better handling. She will be getting the levin. We are toyotas ppl and she wants a small car but not the echo so the corolla is the car Smile Nice car.
Its 28g's with a * after it Razz

I know the sportivo (141fwkw) is 0-100 in 8.5 which is rediculous considering my 85kw nissan exa did it in that time
Laughing

She is definately getting the levin though.
and I guessed it was pheasable but I guess it was a bad guess Razz

Btw thu, any idea what car the tacho is off? Looks like my exa one Razz Only I doubt it went up to 10g's Very Happy

Wait until 2006, then all 2005 complianced cars are discounted.

Some say if you buy around the end of the month you can haggle more

or try http://www.discountnewcars.com.au/Toyota/Toyota-Co rolla-Levin-5Door-Seca.cfm

Here's the range breakdown:

http://corolla.toyota.com.au/TWR/vehicle/FreeText/ 0,4298,462_142,00.html

I know dealers can do the Sportivo for close to $27k with onroads in NSW, which is about $4k less than the advertised price + onroads. Concidering the Levin is $1,000 cheaper, you wouldn't want to pay $32k. Maybe try going to a car broker? Also, any reason why you wouldn't concider the Ultima?

The Sportivo is manual only, which probably isn't for your grandma, the ride is a little firmer, but its no Type-R.

As for the quoted 8.5sec 0-100, stock Sportivo's run the quater mile in close to 15 seconds flat in the hands of a competent driver, which indicates that number is conservative.

Ok, we didnt know about the ultima Rolling Eyes
Do you know the difference?

I just want my grandmother to have a nice and small, feature packed car. Money is really not much of a object.

I will.
The prius is good for economy and emissions, anything else?
