I agree! Female point of view here: I only drive cute or sexy cars! (Hence why I drive an Xfire!)
I'll agree on the TC. I have a few friends that own one, and haven't heard any complaints yet!

My first car was a Toyota Corolla S....the little "sporty" package on it makes it look a heck of a lot better than the standard Corolla...and I LOVED the gas mileage!
Happy Hunting!
