Thanks Flipside,That makes sense. I wouldn't want to change it if it affected performance adversely.Actually, when I test drove a Vibe, the engine was pretty quiet during cruising. It was only during excelleration or while I reved it up, that it was loud. I noticed tire and road noise during cruisin...

I know this sounds weird to most of you , but how easy would it be to have a quieter muffler installed? I like my cars to have as smooth a sound as possible. I am thinking of buying a Vibe or Matrix next year.I really love the cargo and seating space.

Thanks Frosty and Nick. I did a search too and wound up at Toyota of Ireland ! Looking at it , I can see it will never be sold here.... very plain in the front. I like the look at the back end as in the picture Vibb posted, but the rest was disappointing.

A Corolla wagon????? I didn't think there was such a thing. Is this only availible in Canada? I'd like to have this as a replacement for my '88 Corolla Wagon.Please tell me all you know about this car. Do the seats fold down as in the Vibe/Matrix?
