Get the alloy wheels and side airbags/anti-lock brakes.
Detailed review:
This car is definately worth every penny contrary to the discruntled person who should have just bought a Honda if that's what she wanted to begin with.
Don't be fooled by the small apearance for it is quit roomy. My Corolla now has over 30k miles and the only time it has visited the shop is for oil changes. When driven mostly in the city it gets around 25.5 miles per gallon and freeway (when my wife drives) it gets up to 40 mpg. If you blind fold someone and sit them in this car they will never guess it is a Corolla. The build quiality is great if you can overlook the service department at you dealer. Have your services performed at Oil Changers or even Wal-Mart. When my new Corolla went in for the free oil change they offer it left with a sqeeky seat and broken cover on the selector which was denied but repaired under warranty.
I recommend this car to anyone considering a small sedan. Personally, I would purchase another but my family is growing and now I am considering the 05 Toyota Sienna.
