seems to be a corolla bashing thread to me, with most posters being in the states/overseas. you cannot take decisions based on such few opinions...Local cars do have issues,, but atleast they are new. While japanese used cars are indeed of very high quality, we cannot be sure who badly they've been abused or how many KM's they've clocked unless the vehicle is self-imported...And yeah, getting an older vehicle in the name of quality, WTF :S... If you guys dont decide on getting an X, go for a local GLI...khatam..best of luck with your decision.
