The engines are very loud and unrefined on the Corolla. They are bulletproof, however. A better choice would be a Honda Civic. Much more mod potential. There was talk of a Corolla with the Celica GT-S engine (180HP), but I don't know if that came to fruition or not. And please, whatever you decide to do, do not put 19"'s on a Corolla, or any economy car for that matter.
