I will never understand reviews like this....Toyota set out to build an incredibly reliable, safe vehicle...at a set price...The pieces that matter...the engine, the transmission, the suspension are unparalleled in the segment. Most of the people who buy this vehicle are not looking for a canyon carver, they are looking for something they can pay ten grand for, and know that every time they put the key in the ignition, it will start. I have driven the 2010 Civic, and the 2010 Corolla, and as far as driver feedback and handling are concerned...there is very little difference...at least to me...they are both pretty numb...buy a sport bike if you want something quick and nimble...buy a Corolla if you want something that will always be there when you need it...
