Thanks! Looks much darker than I may have thought (but the photos do look like it's a cloudy day) I don't know what all the car manufacturers have done with their bright colours ? (Bring on a smily yellow colour Corolla :D )

Hi Guys, I'm currently looking at buying a new Corolla and am interested in the dynamic blue colour, but I haven't been able to see the car in real life, or any pics of a "real" dynamic blue corolla (not just the virtual car on the toyota website). If anyone has pics they would like to shar, hopefully in sun and shade it would be appreciated. Thanks! PandA.

Thanks for the info Derfel, Thats exactly what I found. The purchase price for the Corolla seems to be lower, the serviceing fixed for 3yrs is a huge advantage and the extras seem ok. The Mazda did seem to drive better, but the resale wouldn't be as good, though I did like the DSC option. Jordy may be able to help with the price to make it a bit sweeter :D do you have access to fleet rates (I work for a company that has a toyota fleet)? Private Message me with a deal if you like.

Thanks for the link Silvabullit, Just seeing if anyone here has had any 'recent' experience, the deals and offers seem to change week by week. Good back up info though. PandA.

Hi Guys, I am currently looking at buying a new manual Corolla Ascent sedan with the safety pack and cruise and want to find out what the best price out there is (if you're a dealer) or what you bought one for recently (if you're an owner)? Over the weekend I test drove a number of cars around Brisbane and my top 3 were the Mazda 3, the Civic and the Corolla (not in that order :) ). Both the Civic and the Mazda seem to be retailing close to $24k with cruise (std on Civic) and airbags (not available on the civic unless you go up from the base model). The Civic had a really hard suspension, and seemed to have a bit of a notchy gearbox, still quite expensive (I think it's out of the race) The Corolla looks the cheapest RRP at the moment... drove well and had a better range of colours than the civic, nice 6 speed gearbox and comfortable ride, but no DSC. The mazda 3 had a great ride, the best handling and power, and nice little extras like the aux and power in the center console and the seatbelt warning lights for the back. The $$$ are pushing me towards the Corolla though at the moment. If anyone could give me some good figures that they have negotiated recently it would really help with my descision to go Corolla as the Mazda is looking perhaps a bit too expensive for what you get. What have you had thown in with your purchases? (Matts etc?) Thanks All, PandA
