    Hihi!

    Hi everyone. My name is Joe.

    I'm a former XC Barina owner and i currently own a 2005 Corolla Sportivo.

    I always had a keen interest in the XC's and i hope to expand my knowledge on them!

    See you's around.

    hi Joe, welcome to opelaus Click here to enlarge

    Dee why the regret from moving from the Sportivo to the Barina SRi? i would have expected them to be similar in performance...Corolla faster in a straight line and Barina faster around bends

    92kw at the flywheel for the Barina SRi
    141kw at the flywheel for the Corolla Sportivo (mine was dyno'd at 112kw at the wheels)

    i've got to say, the handling of the barina was a tiny bit better... but overall the corolla was a lot more fun to drive and i still got the same fuel economy out of it even when flogging it Click here to enlarge

    besides, i missed the leather, climate control, 6 cd stacker, 6 speed manual gearbox, and generally just the feel of the car

    I am from Sydney.

    I am certainly a member of TOCAU. I go under the nick 'Strawberryface'.

    Don't worry mate, i won't make the same mistake. I'm looking at going the FI route to a MY00 WRX or perhaps a NB MX5 at the end of the year. I still have time to decide Click here to enlarge

    What do you currently pilot?
