maybe all engines r slightly diff because i feel the other way to everyone, when i sent my corolla for service, toyota gave me a courtesy car (another corolla but facelift) and so since its not my car.. i pushed it as hard as i could.. and it was SO MUCH more responsive then my car and it would actually reach the top end easier then my corolla.. i dunno whts the diff.. but yeh.. kinda ****** off coz tht other corolla really WENT.. compared to mine :S
