You know, it's funny you should mention that. My wife owns a corolla roflmao. I was just thinking to myself last night on my way back from the gas station how sick and tired I am of driving that damn thing. Too small, too slow, they still feel cheap. Mechanically they are pretty solid. But that's because they are underpowered. Hell, she's even taken it upon herself to find a turbo kit for it. Lol I told her I'd rather not be the one to install it... not to mention, I'm sure that tiny mouse on a hamster wheel they call a 1.8L wouldn't handle more than 5 to 10 lbs of boost before it blows the rings off the pistons or throws a rod through the oil pan.
