I think you are talking about the Corolla with the 2ZZ engine?

Toyota Corolla Sportivo (Australia, 189 hp (141 kW; 192 PS)/180 N⋅m (133 lbf⋅ft))
This car did 0-100 in 8.4 secs

in 2021 you can go and buy the 86 which is slightly quicker

I can't find the specs of a current corolla but I think the ZR Hybrid is a lot quicker and they don't look too bad IMO
Right, assumption that the options in question was in line with the thread topic, ‘enthusiasts choice’. Are you meaning options that are a gimmick like infotainment tech or ones that compensate for driver incompetence like blind spot assist etc…

That reads like a Wheels acceleration time. As they were slower than a wet week. Google says Celica with the same running gear does it in around 7 seconds. But regardless, comparing performance spec to vehicles decades apart has no relevance. Back then that Corolla was one of many affordable hot hatches, which is a segment that has died off along with interest in enthusiast choice vehicles.
