I've got a pretty good amount of experience with those XRS's at this point. They are a blast if you're using them right. They're an odd duck that gets faster the faster you go in them. 0-60 is not particularly great and they're lucky to break into the 15s in the 1/4 mile, but once you hit lift in 3rd gear you never drop below it and from ~80-130 it is faster than some 13 second cars, which is hard to believe until you try it.

I have a 2zz in pieces to put into a crappy MR-S which is also in pieces. If i ever finish that it'll be a fun ride. But a Corolla XRS is a really rare bird, a reliable, useful, economical and surprisingly FAST 15 year old compact car!
