In all honestly - value for money, quality, noise etc the levin and sportivo are on par if you are like me and occasionally like a bit of excitement then there is no competition whatsoever. i have driven a levin numerous times (there's one in the family) and no offence to the 1ZZ's out there, but i felt like a grandma. its just a boring drive. Everytime i hop into the stivo i get excited. even if i dont hit lift that often there is a part of me that knows i can... whenever... and thats gets my blood pumping. Sportivo FTW unless u want something with real balls - look elsewhere :P
