Why not a Focus Zx5?
Why not a Maxda 3?
Why not a Civic?
Why not a Ion? (Base model Ions with AC are $9,995)
Why not a Sentra 2.0?
Why not a Scion XA?
Why not a Hyundai Elantra? (C&D picked it ahead of the Corolla & Civic? With 13K you could get the GT model!)
Why not a Mitsubishi Lancer?
Corollas are just too ho-hum boring for me. I like the above cars better and if it were my money
ZX5 with 2.3L hands down. I love hatchbacks!
