Definitely nicer than my first car as well. Yeah, a lack of electronic extras means less that can break down after several years of ownership. Which means less money spent on repairing electronic issues.
I drive a 1993 Lebaron as my first car. A 2013 Sonic LT was my second. I think I liked my Lebaron a bit more. I drive a Corolla XSE now and it’s my favorite of the 3.
Not knocking the og vibe of the LS trim hell id like to own a manual LS trim if possible just for the feel and weight reduction. But i have a premium and NONE of my problems have been from electrical and or malfunctions. Not even close all of the problems come from the stock GM parts lmaoo. The notorious overheating/tune problem. And the oil line bs that makes the car not wanna pull. Once i slowly replace all that the car will be my baby never selling lol.
