I'm sorry, but the floaty suspension, heaps of body roll and feather light steering does not equate to tight handling. I own a last gen Corolla S, my sister in law has a current Corolla S, and I've rode in the next gen 2009 Corolla S and not a whole lot has changed in that area.
If a handling compact is what TypeRyan wants, then a Mazda3 or a Civic (coupe please... the sedan is fuugly) or a Fit should be up his alley.
But TypeRyan shouldn't just take my word for it... test drive it and see if your conclusion is the same as mine.
I have nothing against Corollas. They're comfortable, smooth, and last freakin forever. But handling is not really its strong suit.
