Nevermind the wheel gap....you could park a bus underneath that thing!
Reminds me of the Dodge Dart - with my glasses off it looks pretty decent but once I put them back on it is just a little overstyled shitbox.

Having driven these cars a few times, I can say is that they "attempted" to make the car seem more aggressive by reducing the baffling in the exhaust system to make it louder. It's still a six year old engine with technology used in overseas cars starting six years ago.
Drove the car for the first time yesterday and I think they really stepped up there game. Its alittle noisy if you press the gas pedal to try and get going pretty fast. But what i didn't notice was it has a touch screen, LED headlamps and a back up camera. Hmm not bad.
They're starting to add LED/HID lighting to these? Thank goodness, as 90% of the stupid blinding "HID kits" in stock halogen reflectors that I see on the road are a Toyota of some kind: Corolla, Tercel, Matrix, with the occasional Celica and old beat up 4Runner.
but then again they hate mostly anything toyota in north america.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's recently launched small overlap front crash test is one of the more stringent in the industry. A number of compact cars earned top scores of acceptable and good in the test, but the newly redesigned 2014 Toyota Corolla wasn't originally tested. Today, IIHS released its results and the Corolla scored a rating of marginal in the crash test, one step up from poor, the lowest score.
From the report: "Structural performance was poor and the driver's space was seriously compromised by intruding structure. Measures from the dummy indicate that injuries to the left lower leg would be possible in a real-world crash of this severity. The dummy's head contacted the front airbag but rolled to the left as the steering wheel moved 4 inches to the right. That left the head vulnerable to contact with forward structures like the windshield pillar and dashboard. The side curtain airbag deployed and had sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with forward side structure, such as the roof rail and interior door panel, and outside objects."

i will admit that the acceleration was a little subpar, but it did well in the aggressive cornering and braking categories. in most other car chases you see them wallowing around, oversteer/understeer, brake fade, etc... no so here!
front bumper earned a fail though... ripped off like a sheet of paper after the pit manoeuver
but overall it was a good test drive
