I have had the Corolla since 2008...put many miles on it and it still runs great...so great that I am thinking that my son could use it for school next year as I totally trust it and want him to have reliable first car.
Anyway so that leaves me looking for a new commuter. I have been out of the 'car search mode' for so long I need some ideas. Corolla is great, but I could use some more driving dynamic, more peppy closer to 200hp. It still needs to get decent fuel economy though. Due to the nature of my employment (I work with the less fortunate) it needs to be somewhat low profile, not flashy.
Honda Civic SI is off the list...hate the body style.
No CVT = no Nissan
Golf TSI, GTI? (I had a 1992 VW Jetta Turbo Diesel it was temperamental for the cold weather, but gave awesome fuel economy)
...other choices?
