Dad has one of these, the VVTLi, but his is the pre-facelift. Much better looking in his and my opinion. He does love the lift ;D

I thought all of the VVTLi engines had the Yamaha heads?

It is a VVTL-i actually :)

Just under 190bhp, and the same engine has the 190 celicas. Keep an eye on the oil levels, they tend to use quite a bit :)

Other than that, awesome motor. I really fancy one myself

the CTR is a arguably a better package in terms of raw performance/handling etc, but the CTS is not far off

So Sonic what we have learnt from that is that the Corolla grips better in the wet:rolleyes:

The Civic Type R of the 2004 era is allot quicker than a Corolla.

But hey its not all about speed is it:p
