Well... I am
Uncle / Grandpa
type driver!
I do not drive fast and furious. So to me, 1.3L, despite being sluggish, is fine.
Reason for 1.3 GLI AT: Corolla brand (instead of Yaris, gives a premium feeling), comparatively good resale, large size, rough and tough, well-reputed and respected in market, tried and tested, have won all type of road tests and conditions with flying colour, etc.
It suits my requirements, and ticks all the checks!
