    No, but to be honest about as basic as a Dacia. Doesn't even have a temperature gauge (bit disconcerting haha)

    A few suggestions 5 k euro or less up the years 2006 or so. Petrol or diesel mainly for short trips. Something nice reasonable power but doesn't have to be gti fast but not a 1.4 focus power wise if you know what I mean. Any ideas.

    Where might one pick up a heavy chain and lock for extra car security?

    If you like winding windows manually, think CDs are too modern and prefer tapes, never adjust your mirrors, and like locking all doors individually then they're class.

    I've only ever seen one other corolla in that spec. The black door mouldings are what caught my eye.

    If manual windows bother you, you can get an electric window kit.
    Head units can be replaced easily.
    Mirrors can be sorted too.
    Central locking can be sorted too if you wanted to. I kinda doubt that Garda spec car wouldn't have central locking though.

    What I meant was that it's the best shape for a Corolla (apart from some older ones perhaps) Anything newer is too modern and weird for my taste.
