I drove a 2009 Corolla SE for 3 years of my life. Its _only_ redeeming quality was that maintenance and repair bills were minimal. Besides that, it was sluggish on the highway, handled like a shopping cart, unstable at 140 km/h, and had an interior that would never let you forget that you’re poor.

Toyota is incapable of making a fun car - it’s just not in their DNA. That’s why all of their current sports cars are made by other companies (Subaru and BMW).
