    Still on top reliability wise in this segment

    It'll be interesting to see how that goes. Have you been able to verify if new corolla will use CVT or traditional AT or dual clutch, manual available? Did you see anywhere what engine they're throwing in the new corolla? Wonder if it's going up in displacement, direct injection or lower...

    New supra is beautiful. I wonder if it'll have any negative impact on skyrocketing prices of MarkIV supra with the 2JZ. Probably not but who knows.

    vibration issue

    Did you notice rpms drop when it’s vibrating? Mine does this from time to time. Are we talking about subtle vibration or is it more profound than I’m picturing?

    I owned a couple of hondas but had bad dealership experience bunch of times which is part of the reason I stick with Toyota. It’s no Lexus but they’re definitely better than Honda. What drove me to switch are multiple incidents and I couldn’t tolerate this any more, for instance after wheel...

    I was drooling over the new Civic when it came out but from what I'm seeing and reading, DAAAMN so many issues. I don't even want to think about when that turbo starts acting up. Perfect example of what happens when you deviate from a working approach which is subtle changes. Honda redid this...

    FINALLY 350HP COROLLA!

    Good luck to you, H22 is a great engine if I'm not mistaken I've driven it a few times back when my buddy owned a Honda Prelude, last gen they made. May have been called something other than Prelude for a non US market. Great engine and revs to the moon. If you got money to blow and don't...

    What is the fastest way to accelerate?

    You and your MT suggestions. Of course it will be quicker but you have to realize most queries posted on here have cvt in mind and your answer to everything is to get a manual. Pretty worthless advice. If someone asked a how to question on an automatic transmission I bet your advice would...

    Worst Case Scenarios for out 11th Gen Corollas

    Hmm, not sure how the new hondas are but I had a 92 Accord wagon which I've lowered and put nice chrome wheels on. Back in a day when this was a thing lol. Anyway, I bought it from some old lady with 90K after she just changed the timing belt and drove it problem free till I crashed it at...

    Worst Case Scenarios for out 11th Gen Corollas

    I'm strongly considering 2018 accord with the 2.0 turbo with manual transmission. Basically detuned civic type-r with smaller turbo and you can use regular gas which is a huge plus. Kind of pricey, sport version will run you 30grand with the 2.0 engine. Comes with 1.5 turbo as well but naaah.

    Worst Case Scenarios for out 11th Gen Corollas

    I hear you, except for the tiny detail that Prius transmission is planetary and corolla's belt driven which are very different. Entune I'm not stressin, besides there may be a culprit such as the type of a phone you're pairing with your car, apple vs android etc.. Some peeps said they've never...

    Radio Rebooting?

    Try looking at your trunk speaker wires and make sure they're not wobbly or in contact with any metal parts, some have indicated that to be the cause.

    Carmax is the last place I would buy a car from. One good thing is you have 5 days to return,no strings attached but their prices are at least 15% above dealer's and can't bargain. When I was shopping for my wife's camry I was able to find same car for almost 2k cheaper at Toyota dealer. Not...

    Gift from Toyota? Plus Wrap Synthetic 10K Plan

    I'm with you Jolly. Reminds me when I purchase extended warranty on my brand new 2000 4Runner limited truck which was around 2k and covered everything bumper to bumper up to 100K and forgot how many years. Well the truck was expensive as "F" but it was a good truck but being naive they scared...

    EL wire?

    Every time I give someone a ride who hasn't been inside a new corolla they're freaking impressed. They start touching stuff and feeling things out but one thing I'm always getting asked is the blue strip on door, I get asked if I installed it or was it like that from factory :) haha. It...

    Worst Case Scenarios for out 11th Gen Corollas

    Pretty simple but if you already own a CVT and are paying it off, not much sense to get a manual and lose at trade in. Unless you're trading in low mileage premium cvt for a bare bones manual with high mileage. Not sure if I would go for something like that. My next one will be brand new...

    Worst Case Scenarios for out 11th Gen Corollas

    I thought I've made it pretty obvious why I didn't get the manual in my previous posts. Although I slightly regret it right now I also see benefits of CVT in my 40m + daily work commute. Having said that 99.9% of 11th gens out there are CVT hence my observation.
