I'm not saying the S front bumper design is ugly, but I chose LE Premium with the nice bumper and fog lights over S because I think it looks more sporty and mean and just added a spoiler. Not sure what Toyota was thinking but that LE bumper is freaking awesome, has this widening effect especialy when lowered.
Who prefers LE front over S

@klinetime574 I live in Jacksonville florida. It's a 2016 toyota corolla L.
@brothabear I love your car.
It's pretty durable BUT I drive low so I've already messed up the front lip which I've just replaced as well as cracked the right side skirt. For cars lowered on springs or stock height, this should be fine durability wise. Another thing to note is that the S lip is different from the L/LE lip and isn't as attractive in my opinion. I do recommend to wrap the front lip in paint protection film to help prevent gouges/chips/cracks etc.
You dont need disks on such a light vehicle in rear. Drums last longer and don't warp. Also Tacoma uses it on their 2106-17 Tacoma since it shields the break system from debris when off-roading. Same thing with salt and other crap on our corollas. Another benefit is you only replace the drum shoes once
In vehicles lifetime. Can't say that about disks.

i like my LE, but i would like some of the features as the s. for example, the foglights and the side turn signals on the side mirrors. both for practical reasons. now stuff like the tiptronic transmission and spoiler aren't really necessary and the tiptronic tranny is pretty annoying on any car due to it's lag. now the rims are a bonus that i think look the best stock rims for it's class.
...plus i find it kinda foolish that it's a S(sport) and it has a small difference in horse power compared to the base models (140 hp if you're lucky and if you say that your stock s has more than that, then i call bull.). that's just the way i see things since i've seen other cars of it's class that actually have power (mk4 jetta for example 189hp ,stock). it's just something that grinds my gears , but the looks of it i like.

Actually the S is 132 HP, just like L/LE... but a tad slower with bigger wheels and a tad "funnier" with different logic for the CVT (sport mode, paddle shifting).
Oddly, it's the LE Eco that has 140 HP, same aero gimmicks underneath and little lip spoiler as S but better MPG and 1 second less for 0-60 according to Car and Driver.

i forgot about the other features like the dash and the upholstery, good catch.i like the front end, it's just the chrome strip that i find unnecessary. now the 2017 s model's headlights (well all the models i think) are pretty awesome with the dual led lights. i was actually looking for an s model when i was car searching , and i found one but the dealership wanted to screw me over. they made me go through all the paper work and waste like two weeks of my time so that in the end they could tell me that i couldn't get the car i wanted and that i had to get another one that they picked out for me...i sent them that gif of kevin hart rolling out the finger
that car was a blue one, originally i was looking for green and after that ordeal i found the right one. it's a green 2016 corolla LE and it's f#$%ing awesome !
all-in-all i just find it underwhelming that the sport model has the same hp as the base ones. nice looking car though
