A Corolla in the higher trim levels like the XRS also use more of these materials as well as the 2.4 engine (XRS).
I am referring to the ride, I have no idea why it is so difficult for a smaller car to achieve the ride of a larger vehicle in terms of weight, length and width etc. Small cars feel like tin boxes.
Also the seat comfort seems to be like buying a really cheap bed mattress(most smaller cars) instead of mid-sized which gets maybe a slightly better to luxury mattress.
The 2.4 in Corolla got embarrassingly terrible MPG. Even the v6 model bested it and you still are driving a small car.
