Lol, Japanese cars are good, no doubt but they aren't half as rugged as the pkdm corolla. I owned countless japanese cars from 2012 till 2016, then switched back to pkdm corolla, trust me, nothing like a problem free corolla, no tension for high octane, no tension for finding the correct mechanic, proper diagnosing etc
JDMs always come at a price, pkdm are built to take bashing.
