 I'm the last person one would expect to be seen in a Corolla, but I still got one!I shopped around and compare the Civic, the Mazda 2, 3, the Focus, the Elantra GT and the Accent.My previous two cars were fast turbo cars with plenty of power and handling. The Mazda 3 is definitely faster than the Corolla, and handles better.So why did I pick the Corolla instead of the Mazda?It felt like the most luxurious car of the bunch, with a decent ride, at a price others couldn't beat.I have everything I always wanted in one package with the "S", no need for additional 1200 Moonroof and other expensive options.The Mazda comes close, but it was more expensive.
