I mean, the looks are fitting of current gen hot hatches, sure. But, why is this thing so heavy? 3,249lbs? A mildly tuned GT-Four would weight less and make more power, with tons more power potential. I just don't see any tuning room in the 3 cylinders of fury of the Corolla - let's hope I'm wrong.
But, I have to give them credit for the stick shift. Solid move, Toyota. Would I want one? Not sure. Good question. |

Yes but a ST 205 won't meet any modern vehicle emissions or safety standards so moot point until you build a time machine and can buy one new off the dealer lot. Car now has to meet standards now, not really a fair comparison. -------------------- |
