I suggest checking other 2003 compacts first for power and standard and optional features and cargo room. It is what I did afterward.
Detailed review:
Not only did I check and drive this sedan. But I was also surprised cruise control is optional for this top-version Corolla! And it is not available with a rear deck spoiler. It is not only for appearance. But it is also for added rear weight. And it was too sluggish for me. It is in spite of getting good gas mileage. It was equipped with the standard 5-speed MT. And too many features are optional. It is more than the Cavalier LS I checked and got. Therefore, it makes more sense to check other makes and models first. It is my suggestion.
