    ECU regulated

    What happens if you have a tyre blowout at 115mph? What if you get caught at those speeds which are a felony in some states? What if an animal runs in front of you? I am all for it so long as 1. You are doing it where there is NO other cars 2. You man up and accept responsibility if you break...

    Heated and power seats

    Finding a LE or S premium can be really hard depending on your region. In my area, my dealer told me that the premium gets into Camry pricing and thus I'd not that popular which is why they only order one S premium and one LE premium for every 100 Corollas they order. Just ask your dealer for a...

    Warranty and Maintenance Plan, is it Worth it?

    If having the ESP gives you peace of mind, keep it. People often take for granted just how important peace of mind is if you are the type of person who likes to hold onto and get as much usable life from a vehicle as possible. I purchased a platinum 7yr/125k mile ESP with no deductible for...

    Or leave them factory so that you don't cause a dangerous situation with oncoming cars at night. We share the roads as it is not just about "you"

    My Personal 2015 Corolla experience thread.

    Considering you think most Louisiana cops are pigs, it makes me think you have something to hide. I agree with below poster in that you should simply stop paying the stupid tax to begin with instead of concealing unsafe driving.

    Cruise control install complete(2015 L)

    Congrats! In this day and age of drive by wire electronic throttle bodies, it makes me wonder when cruise control is not standard across all the trim levels with some makes.

    It is official, I've lost all faith in humanity...

    My old Focus has now been involved in 5 hit and runs, so I feel your pain. Only one of those were caught and that was because my neighbor happened to be gardening and was able to recognize the person who he observed. I am currently in the process of getting a twin channel dash cam for my Corolla...

    2015 1.8 CVT build and destroy.....

    For some people, it is the hobby of it. The original poster however should not be surprised at being ridiculed if asking for donations from other people for what is essentially the OP's hobby.

    Making my S Plus a Premium

    The stock radio system is just horrible in sound quality. You certainly could not go worse.

    Regular or Premium?

    That is what I was trying to imply before my frustration with my damn Ipad forced me to truncate what I originally was going to type. The mid 90's Camry has a special place in the heart of many people because it was one well built car. Dimensionally, the Corolla is also provides about the same...

    Regular or Premium?

    A lot has changed in 14 years. Today's Corolla is the equivalent of a Camry from the 90's.

    Regular or Premium?

    Filling up with premium is not a burden. If you buy a performance or luxury car and whine about premium fuel, then perhaps you bought the wrong car. At Costco, premium is only 25-30 cents more. At 15 gallons, that still less that $5 which will not buy you lunch anymore. Unfortunately some...

    MPG

    My bet is that he does a lot of short distance city driving where the car may not get a chance to warm up. If there was something wrong with his car to cause fuel economy that horrendous with normal driving, it would have triggered some sort of check engine light as something is way off. FWIW...

    2015 1.8 CVT build and destroy.....

    It may be that it is simply more cost efficient for dealers to replace instead of repairing transmissions these days. Replacing also means that things are kept consistent. I have noticed that dealers do not actually seem to do rebuilds anymore as they simply phone the manufacturer for a reman...

    2015 1.8 CVT build and destroy.....

    TRD used to sell supercharger kits for the V6, although I do not know if that is true. Even without the SC, traction is a major problem.

    Rodent chew fuel line

    Get a cat. The cats in the outdoor colony I take care of kill at least 2 mice a day. They even leave me my present next to my front tyre.

    2015 1.8 CVT build and destroy.....

    I hate to break it to you, but this is a 132hp car. Anything above 170-180 hp will be useless because you will never get the power to the pavement except on high speed highway runs.

    Audio/Entune Problem: Horrible Audio on 2015 Corolla

    Yup, even for an economy car, the radio is beyond horrible. It is absolutely unacceptable especially at the $23-24k price point of the LE and S premium trim levels. I want to upgrade the speakers, but am worried the stock head unit with navigation will hold it back.
