Alright, I'm going to see if I can find one to test drive. LE, so 16" wheels with 55 series tires, not the 40 series on the more "sporty" models. Not hatch, like the idea of hatch but everything I've read indicates that this one has too many compromises--I don't care about rear legroom, but ride comfort is big. The hatch could be nice, a big "boot" if you will. Only option I'm interested in is this "smart key" system--I have to admit, it'd be real easy to get used to not putting a key into the door, nor into the ignition. Especially when that's what I do with the wife's car (on the rare occasion I drive it--I refuse to, as I know I'll get spoiled). Ok, a power and heated seat would be nice, but apparently that's just too much to ask for at this level.
Wife is very against buying anything used that is ultimately within a few thousand of what a base Corolla could be had for. I can't say she's wrong.
