    Got a 2013 C3 today. Black. Beautiful. Amazing price. In love with it already. Test drove both the Gen3 and the C, and the C was much more enjoyable.

    Everyone should do pictures. They are all the same while on the lot... but once they are owned they get imbued with a little bit of the owners personality and that makes every single on of them different.

    Got a great price on it, too, but I'm a little hesitant to post details because there are some very friendly folks from dealerships that are members of this community, and I don't want to drive business away from them.

    Welcome! You're going to keep loving your car! I'm coming up on a year and 20,000 miles soon and I still love it.

    Borrowed my mother's 2007 Corolla sedan for a day to take it in for servicing for her and it was my first time driving a another car in over five months. Wow... I was missing my c so bad and reminded that I don't miss my old Corolla at all.

    The one and only thing I think is better about the Corolla is that the hill climbs are nothing to it. Everything else, argh.

    It's interesting that its higher power/weight ratio is only noticible for the hills. In low speed driving the thing feels like a lumbering tank compared to the perky c and the c is so much smoother. Also when I was overtaking people in 60 km/h (37 mph) traffic, I was surprised to find the Corolla really sluggish to react compared to the c which just pounces. And the engine still running while sitting at traffic lights now just feels really really weird.

    I was also even noticing how much I prefer the speedo display up on the dash compared to a dial buried behind the steering wheel. I honestly don't understand why the motoring press always seems to think this is such a bad thing compared to dials.

    I've been flying interstate a few times recently and didn't miss car at all, but being in a different car for just the day, it was a huge relief to give it back and retrieve my own. :love:

    Congrats! You are going to love it. I've had mine for a little over a month now and it has changed a lot (to fit my personality like ztanos says). Do not miss my Toyota Matrix at all and I loved that car. Rob.au is right, they feel like tanks in comparison.
