Yes I did, I believe it was an XR. Great car, but certainly fell into the grocery getter category, unless you got the S, which I never got to drive.
The iM certainly is much more sportier in all regards. Great seats, nice interior, and best of all, made in Japan. The only thing I wished differently about the iM were the stock tires. You probably saw my thread asking about the Michelin tires, which I'm getting later this week.
As a side note, despite the iM being a great car, it will never satisfy the itch of a sports car, so I ended up buying another Porsche. #fwp
Do get the 19+ Corolla hatch. I wish I knew about it earlier. I may even consider trading it in.
