    I used to own a 95 VW Golf GTI, back then it only got 115hp and it wont seed up after 3rd gear….so u need a longer range in order to pass the corolla.

    Subarus are good ,solid and well engineered cars, the new Liberty range is very nice.

    Corolla rock! they have proven their toughness in Afghanistan, a country where more than 60% of all cars is a Toyota Corolla (more than 90% of cars are Toyota’s there).

    the corolla would be good to look at if it had a bodykit n a spoiler and nice alloys , but i agree wit jeremy its quite ugly to look at wen its bog standard but none the less ther a great car

    @monkeyboy27476 If a car is not relaible, then what’s the point? Yes, some people just want chaep reliable transport, and others like sport cars. I drive a V6 Toyota Camry, because it actually is a good car to drive ie. a smooth, quiet and responsive V6 engine. Toyotas are not awful cars, they are actually very reliable cars. I appreciate good cars, but I also know rubbish cars when I see them,

    @monkeyboy27476 I agree that Asian (particulalrly Japanese) cars are dull compared to European cars, but the Japanese are catching up in the style department. The Lexus GS,IS and LS series are nice looking cars, plus they drive well and are reliable. The Mazda 6 and 3 are stylish cars, and good to drive as well
