Lol... yeah you can bet your butt I didn't choose it! The wife was sold on it because her parents used to own a Corolla and wanted nothing of anything else (To give her credit, she did go out and try other cars before getting it). Now that's she's had it for two years, she'll be the first one to tell you she's not impressed with it. But it's a better car than the Aveo. It has drawbacks, but overall, we like it more.
