I'm pondering the various options available on the 2004 Corolla, as I think I've settled on that model. I'm basically seeing what combinations I could do, whether it would make more sense economically to go for the S or the LE, bla bla. Most of the more cosmetic ones I need to find out what, exactly, they are or look like before I could tell if I want them or not.
The main I'm waffling on is the side airbags. They're not a trivial cost (~$200) and I don't know whether I really want them or need them. Anyone have any sites/references/experiences that would sway me in either direction?
I'm also trying to make the same decision on cruise control (it's the same price, actually). I find I have to constantly adjust my speed when I drive, so cruise control wouldn't be able to do its thing, and I've never wished for it. But then again, as I expect to own the car for ten years at least, the day might come that I'd want to use it, and be annoyed that I hadn't bought it. So I don't know.
I also wish I knew what they meant by "heavy-duty heater", which I can only get by buying a certain package (although it's a relatively cheap one). Is that something I might be glad I bought when I take this car to Canada with me, or would the regular one be just fine? I have the feeling Toyota is not going to be willing or able to provide me with BTU ratings, here. :)
