Corolla Sportivo Handling

Hi. I am looking at buying a corolla sportivo in the next few months and was wondering how you guys would rate the handling of the car going round corners or taking it on runs through places like Black Spur or Yarra Boulevard (Melbourne) etc.

I would say the handling is not that great as it sits a bit high. There is a fair bit of body roll. For better handling it would have to be lowerred. So if u thinking of getting it for the handling...better think about lowerring it too. ;)

Just replace the springs for like 450-700 bucks.

or you can save up a bit more and get adjustable coil overs with front and rear braces for $2,500 at straight talk suspension.

For everyday use there is no bloody bodyroll, unless you guys dont know what that is, but if youre gona take the car above recomended speed corners and speed limit then you will get body roll because the suspension is set up to be cumfy not bumpy hence it's a bit looser. I dont blame the car height considering our F***D up roads. A set of Eibach springs should improve the cornering although even as it is, it will outcorner alot of other "sports cars" and remember it has a torsion beam at the back not IRS, but it still handles and steers predictable if kept within its limits.
