Having gained weight and its engine only managing the same power as the old one, the auto should even be slower. The gears of the ZZE112 auto I drove felt so tall I could notice the big difference from its responsive manual brother (we rented them both before). Surely, the new car will disappoint even more. The Civic has a 5-speed auto, and being far from perfect, the Corolla could have trounced on this car by matching the offer. Yes, it may cost more to buy a 5-speed Corolla auto, but better performance and economy will certainly pay off the extra gear later on. A dated 4-speed is simply unacceptable.

An extra gear on the manual isnt exactly a "giant leap", as Toyota have stated that in five to ten years time they will no longer make manual cars due to a decline in popularity. So the next Corolla, may only be fitted with an autobox. I would see “Toyota [taking] a giant leap in the right direction” by introducing a 6 speed auto.
