I traded it in when I got this car, 288000 km, what a workhorse.
Got 2700 for that car.
Paying 223 bi-weekly for 4 years on this car, loaded.

For sure coming from an older Corolla, the extra torque comes in handy on the highway.

The 'Rolla XRS is solid. Fixes the biggest downside of the vanilla version. Congrats.

Don't see too many of the XRS model around, so am looking forward to the full set of pics.

What makes a XRS a better car?
Versus a regular Corolla? A 2.4L 158hp engine, sport suspension, strut towers, body kit (shared with Corolla S), 17in low profile tires, different EPS steering unit (noticeably tighter), plus some unique interior things like optitron (LED lit) gauges and slightly unique interior styling. Some of that is arguably not better but rather a tradeoff.  It's a bit like a downsized Camry SE when you drive it...

RollaXRS10: Welcome to owning a Corolla XRS. We'll have to compare notes at some point :) I'm determined to write a 20K review at some point. It's a good car but I do have some complaints about it. Still solid and never given me any real troubles. Plus you do bond with a car when you take it on 6 or 8 hour road trips.
