the JDM toyota corolla is MUCH better than the local civic. The car is much mroe comfortable, easier to handle/brake, option wise it is much better, much mroe safetly and the build quality is just solid toyota power.
The JDM corolla is available in 3 trims, X, G and Luxel. 1.3, 1.5 and 1.8L models are available. The 1.8 luxel is lightening fast, can smoke the r18 civic anyday. It is interesting to note that the 1.3 version produces 92bhp which is highest in its class and more than the local rolla. All in all this car is the best choice within 1 million (give or take some lacs). (Y)
