Default Re: Fun in a Toyota Corolla

I'll second opimion on Corolla.
Had this misfortune to have my '88 Prelude stolen (then bent), and was given a near-new Corolla hatch as an in-betweener. I swear it used more fuel than the Prelude or our Outback wagon...and gutless (auto)...so maybe thats why it used more fuel trying to get it to shift along.

Anyway, my Mondeo XR5 is great to live with, comfy and extremely economcal sitting on avg 8.6l/100km after 17000kms (almost same as prev Outback @8.3l/100km). trip to Tas in Jan and 3000kms - all passengers happy, bootload of 'stuff', and CBR>MEL without fuel stop, just people pit stops.
Vastly underrated in this land of Oz.
