Corolla T-Sport: what would be a good price for this example?

That's just my opinions. Then again I just drive a city car, so what would I know, eh Fox?

OK, so what must have essentials is the Civic missing that makes life utterly miserable? Low-end torque isn't a valid answer. ;)
 
Prices for these have been going up recently for some reason. I'd want to pay more like 1250 for that. 1500 if it's mint mint.

I don't like pre facelift ones.
I didn't even notice the difference, all the cars I actually desire I can't get insured on. So I just went with my brain and thought, ok lets get something reliable, over 30mpg and something I can use to overtake elderly people on A/B roads if there's a need.

Post face lift all the way. It's almost 8/10ths civic type r performance for 6/10 the costs. Insurance prove is low bit these are good cars.

I've owned a corolla t sport and a Celica GT t sport special edition for 3 years each enjoyed them.
I've been searching for a T Sport Celica, but they went up sky high... :o

EP3 has no creature comforts, Clio has a **** interior and dodgy electrics as well as a flat spot, Focus ST has awful fuel economy and a risk of cylinder liners cracking, MPS has the timing chain issue as well as torque steer, etc.
You can rev the crap out of the EP3 though and it won't blow up... :D
Creature comforts in a performance car? Good seats, heater, radio - Done!
Exactly, seats that actually hold you in so you're not all over the place, radio with Aux/USB, AC would be nice. I would describe myself as a petrolhead... I don't care about automatically folding mirrors, I see it as unnecessary weight! :o
In a Lotus Elise, sure. In an everyday hatchback? Not so much.
I've been commuting in all weather on a bike, I don't need comfort. I'm not over 50... :p

Edit

If I can't find anything interesting by the time I heal up, I'll get an accord or one of those spaceship civic's. It needs a bit more power, as it'll be towing a trailer (nothing heavy, 500-750kg probs)

I wouldn't want to tow anything with my T-Sport. :p

You want torque for towing, which the Corolla has none of.

A diesel would probably be good, but I don't want a diesel. A trailer with 2 trackbikes isn't that heavy, Most average cars should be able to tow it. :p
 
I'm sure it will be fine. Just if you were going to be towing a lot of the time, I would probably get something different. For now and again it wont be an issue I'm sure!
