2017 Toyota Corolla iM Hatchback 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
I just purchased my second one
 On my first purchase of the car, I have been very satisfied with it.  It is a very comfortable traveling car. I wish they could put these seats in the Prius and Rav 4. I tried the Prius again on a test drive, I could not handle the lack of lumbar support. I tried other Toyotas without power seats and the same problem surfaced. I spotted another  Corolla IM on the lot, the only one left, and purchased it. Again great non power seats. The first one I paid 16,800., this one only 16,100.  The only difference being all weather floor mats on the first purchase. I purchased all weather floor mats on the internet for this one., about $150. The resale value is great on these vehicles when you look it up. I have not had any issues with my first purchase, it has been trouble free.  I have not experienced any issues with the Safety Sense System, and I have mine set on high sensitivity. We have all types of weather in Seattle and it does not seem to effect it. I did buy another manual transmission, so I cannot give an evaluation on the CVT automatic, I have never had a chance to drive one. I really enjoy the manual transmission. I find these vehicles very pleasant, especially out on the road, they are quiet and smooth. I thought I would miss a CD player or Satellite Radio, but that has not been the case, I just use Pandora or the HD radio. The Bluetooth and nice speakers do the job with my phone. The reliability and quality keep me coming back. I like the practicality of the hatchback. The 1.8 engine is perfect with the manual, I do not think I would want a larger engine. I had the larger engine in my TC and XB and the gas mileage suffered. If I was speed racer I would be looking elsewhere. I just want common sense transportation that is safe and reliable and practical and has a good resale value and good looking. This meets that criteria.
