The ground clearance is very low pending d kinda road we do have in Naija.

If your a civil servant know that it doesn't look official u rather go for the LE which looks official.

My two pence though

I will advice you don't go for anyhow tracker cos most of the cheaper tracker signal around can be easily jammed/arrested with a simple frequency jamming device.

@ Mr honmusa because you want to divert the customer to yourself, you're trying to condemned another person products and Brand. Topten tracker is best

It's an economy car, cheap and fairly capable. Parts are cheap and easy to get hold of, maintenance is easy too.

But very fast? Come on man! I wouldn't even call a Corolla fast. It's just okay. Quicker than a Kia Picanto, but definitely not what I would term fast.

I don't know for you sir, but for me, mine is..... do not forget, the non -doctored sports vehicles (with same sports engine) are generally faster than the non sports versions... I tell you my own observation..... I'm not into cars per say, but my little observation...

I don't agree with you that a corolla is fast though, I have driven the 2003-2007 edition a 2006 LE to be precise. During one of my long journey at the lokoja to Abuja express, which to me is the most "teh" (sorry for the yoruba) road I have ever plied. The same corolla couldn't shake my 1.5L engine nissan almera on the stretch to abuja and the driver was speeding like hell was about to break lose.

Don't mind that guy
The corolla s/le/ce shares everything including the same engine
Sport only has a different suspension body kits and instrument cluster.
The corolla xrs is somethinh different .
But corolla s is just the normal 1.8l in the other trims too

I guessed as much.

The only Corolla that are fairly quick are the T Sport and T Sport Kompressor.

Even you know it's not about the hp only, the corolla 1.8 can have a bigger engine and hp, but the almera is smaller, lighter and a manual. The corolla is auto, I have a slight advantage. The corolla is ok but should not be categorised as fast.

I have also dusted a 08-12 corolla on the abeokuta-lagos old road with a V8 powered heavy full sized SUV
