When I was car shopping, the first thing that I noticed was the visual appeal the car had as this is always the most important quality when purchasing a vehicle. I wasn't to fond of the price of the vehicle, but was able to convince the dealership to lower the price.

The vehicle makes for a great beginner's/first car. For a Corolla, the Sport class looks rather nice and not too much like a regular Corolla. The build is solid overall, as I haven't had any major breakdowns or anything of the sort in the past 60,000 miles. It's a fairly comfortable car overall, and what it lacks in power makes up for reliability.
