Anywho, I vote scion, its quite a bit cheaper, loaded (well, what can be considered loaded) is like 19k, for the scion, and about 21k for the corolla. But the scion you can get the spec package w/ manual and its like 16-17k.

uh...four doors dumbass...scion has two, plus im pretty sure he has a kid, and if him and his chick stay together, it would be nice to have a back seat...
uh...

thats not always the case. You should call your insurance company and see which one is cheaper. They base it off of a lot of things, more than just if it has 2 doors

Should be? Does that mean you have checked or no? A good insurance company will base the rates on actual loss experience than modify the results with factors such as HP/weight ratio.

uh, amazing, I already knew about the doors, if your too dumb to read your own first post you said a backseat, not 4 doors. and you obviously don't have kids, because its easy to put them in a backseat of a twodoor car.

Agreed.

but it's a pain and will be looking to sell that car faster then you think, go with the 4 door.

BTW I have kids, and a 1992 Camaro RS will never sell my Camaro but had to buy a 4 door for the kids. made life that much easyer.

for only 18k you can get a new fully loaded 2008 altima which in my opinion is way better then the corolla in every aspect, i drove the 2009 corolla and was very let down, i was very impressed with the altima even with the 2.5 4 cylinder
