Vibe Cousin

Post by Pump233ca »

How close is the 2003 Toyota Corolla to the Vibe....I have a Vibe now..well the wife does and we are looking to purchase a second car, a 2003 Corolla "S"....we to date have not test driven one but assume it will handle and feel much like the Vibe..are we correct to assume this?

It may have softer spring rates and a better ride. I would be interesting in hearing your perceptions if you take a test drive.

The corolla has a fully independant suspension, the ride should be better on bumpy corners. The package will be totally different otherwise. Looking forward to your review. My daughter loves them.
