    Well, Im going to have to agree that this car grows on you for sure. I had to borrow my wife's 2003 toyota corolla (w/73k on it) when my tie rods were being worked on & WOW! What a difference! First thing I noticed right of the bat was shutting the door. I felt like I was in an aluminium can...
