This 9th generation, last of the Japan made Corolla is the most economical.

 

1.5l, and weighing just under 1100kg. Superb power to weight ratio.

 

Thai made Vios shares the same 1NZ-FE engine, but somehow, firewall insulation seems not as good, resulting in a noisier interior

This corolla indeed the last japan made, but this corolla steering super light when travel at high speed car would float.

Actually the Rover75 is even better,i bought a 2.5 in 2000,used until 2009,due to no spare parts...mileage just 38,000km. [bigcry]

So low mileage because it spent more time in the workshop waiting for parts than actually being used?

I drove the 2nd last batch of G9 for 10 years and the only major problem I had is the power windows. 1.5L DOHC and yet so fuel efficient. Outside looks like hippo but yet so comfy inside.

 

Met with an chain collision many years back and the loud bang from the rear almost make me cry coz my mum is the rear passenger..Fortunately, the big backside cushioned all the impact. When I hear my mum shouted aiyo ! sibei jia lut ! then nag and nag and I know she is safe. That moment I love her nagging.
