Latest Corolla Hatch is on an all new platform (TGNA).... it's got a great motor, fantastic CVT (super fast responses and direct 1st gear) and great sensors/electronics package but more cramped than the iM imo. Downsides are that it's short on passenger, storage, and cargo space + it's still numb to drive.
Personal opinion is they gave up too much space in the Corolla Hatch - I would rather go for a Golf or Civic for a better all round package with the usual caveats.
10G Civics seem to have poor components quality (seat rails rusting from salt 2 years old in Ontario) and the Golf stuff mentioned earlier.
