The new Corolla, overall, does look promising, but one possible snag will be the (continuing) use of the old 4-speed automatic on the base model, while other versions get a CVT. Though a number of Corolla buyers might not care about what type of automatic they have under the hood (witness how the old models with the 4AT still sold well), I'm of the opinion that Toyota, with the new Corolla, repeated the same mistake that Subaru made on the new Impreza and XV Crosstrek....not using a 6AT across the board on all non-manual versions.
thats on fleet sale model estimated to get less than 10% of the sales... essentially CVT is base for regular customer.
