    How does it compare to the Might Punto Gvido..?

    :D

    Night and day. :P

    This is a less than 5 month old dark green (you can't see the green until the sun shines on it) Toyota Corolla with a 1.6 litre 97 kW engine, tip-tronic gearbox, cruise control, heated seats, rear view camera and other stuff. Punto sounds oddly similar to the Boeing 737 when accelerating on the runway, where as the Corolla is a very solid, quiet car, except when driven on cobblestones. This car has sort of changed my view on automatic gearboxes, cruise control and all that jazz. It weighs ~1.8 tonnes so it's not exactly a very fast car. It has a sport button though.

    Cleaned up the Corolla today and got a couple of decent photos of it.. Now its time to put it up on Donedeal and see what kind of interest I get in it! As much of a great car it is, I just really want something else which I have my eye on :o

    I don't think so, sold to a chap 500 yards down the road, he'll keep her going for another good few years yet

    Was just making light of what happened to the other clean old merc (also a 190e?) In the bangernomics thread the other week.

    Good to hear it's gone somewhere good.

    Ah no worries man. I think that might have been a W124 (older E-class) - the one were a poster was selling on behalf of a relative, it was snapped up & flipped like you say for double the money

    It's Tiidaesque looking.

    The corolla is a much better looking car than a tiida.

    Whatever you are having yourself Johnboy, TBH it's the only Corolla saloon I dislike.
