It got boring when Toyota switched it from RWD to FWD. The AE86 was the last of the RWD fun ones.

Free fuel, no insurance or registration costs.... I'll learn to live with it.
I can only pray she manages to get a Civic type R, but will probably end up with a Euro Accord.
The Euro Accord is a fine vehicle.

we call it the Acura TSX over here...I'll take mine with a 6 speed and supercharger kit.

The AE92 GT-S front drivers are pretty fun, as well as the FX-16's...though I dont think those count as corollas.

Corolla's are horrible a-b cars unless it's between timing gates.
Forgot about that particular Corolla. I stand corrected. :gapteeth:

I really was talking about modern Corollas, they're lame.
The AE92 would be an awesome daily...hard to find though. :frown:

Why? What is that? What the Hell? Why is it there? What is it doing? What is it there for? WHAT IS IT?! What IS that? Who designed that mess? Who signed off on it? Who looked at the mockup and said "yes that looks great go with that"?! Do they still have a job? If yes, why!?

WHY THE HELL IS IT THERE?!

*clears throat awkwardly*
Sorry about that. Not sure what came over me. Someone said "Corolla" and I lost it for a bit. I'm okay now. I think.

My grandparents have a 1993 Honda Civic DX hatch that I drive every summer. The DX came with the SOHC D series. I like driving the car to some extent but there are things I dislike:
The POS D series has no acceleration. You need to floor it to get to 60.
The steering sucks. Its really stiff and hard to turn.
The automatic transmition lurches everyone in the car when it goes from 2nd to 1.
The audio sucks. Period. 2 piece of crap speakers and a crappy radio. Other then that its a good car and barely uses gas
