Never buy a first year release car, wait a year or two so they work out all the bugs. I see this over and over again. I was tempted to go for a 14 but got a 15 and looks like all the early cars had the AC compressor issue, mine was build way later and should be good. Also, I've seen many...

I have to agree with SuperchargedMR2. I've researched this extensively and for our vehicles unless you've changed compression and turboed/supered it then it is a waste of time. I mean if Chris doesn't drive it daily and it makes him feel better :) then no harm but for me who commutes 60 plus...

Ahh, cool thanks for the update. Hopefully they won't fudge it up, the question remains, will they use CVT or not? It would be crazy if they dropped it. IF you look at Corolla's 4speed auto, they've used it for decades so it would be crazy if they changed their mind after a 4 year run in the...

2000 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4x4 with all the options. Put over 200k miles on it and it needed some work but I'm sure I could have kept it for another couple of hundred thousand miles. Reason why I sold it was outdated safety equipment and stiff ride. My daughter was just born and I needed...

Did I just read this right? Supposed to use a BMW engine and be built in Mexico. This goes against everything corolla is know for. Reliability will be questionable to say the least as BMW engines fuk up all the time, been there done that, seen it on family's rides and don't want anything to...

Everywhere man, we're looking at 3 bucks for regular within a few months.

2JZ straight 6 supra motor long as hell no way it would fit in any way from my point of view.

Especially the dropped ones ;) I second what Chris just said.

Every time I'm doubting my choice of vehicle and think about upgrading I'm going back to year 2000 something where gas was 4bucks plus and I was driving my 4runner, 17mpg city 19 hwy and that's on a good day going downhill 60 plus miles each day. Cost to fill up was around 70 bucks almost twice...

@FinalGear, what coilovers do you have on your ride and how do you have it set up? Is the right stiffer? Since you're from Cali you get no snow, I do in Chicago. What's the max height for those winter months? Also, how does it feel with people in the back, any complains of stiff ride...

Wait another year.

Not only corolla will keep its cvt but Camry is dropping its 6 speed auto and replacing with cvt as did Altima and accord long time ago. Doesn't take much to find tons of articles that support this.

I doubt it. Civic, Accord and all Nissans use CVT for a reason. Since Corolla hasn't had any issues with their CVT, unless they're planning to change the power train drastically to turbo or sc, but even civic turbo has a CVT so not sure why they would do such a thing. Don't listen to the...

Look for a post on the forum which lists models affected by VIN. Fortunately mine wasn't affected based on VIN but if your is then you should take it in to get the compressor replaced.

Not necessarily. Civic has independent rear suspension and needs camber kit. Corolla has torsion beam and camber doesn't get affected nearly as much when lowered especially only an inch -1.5.

I'll measure when I get home and will let you know.

I'm going with TRD just because it works for Chris and others plus it's an option you can get at the dealer. Honestly I'm they're not the same thing I've read somewhere, TRD just rebranded Eibach springs but not entirely sure..

You are the man Chris. Thanks buddy I'm definitely going with TRD springs. I think it's a perfect balance between performance and height and very cost effective compared to coilovers. Also, since it's not a drastic drop the shocks should last longer than let's say springs that lower your ride...

I think I've made up my mind then, going with TRD springs. Has anyone found a deal or are they pretty much $240 everywhere?

I found this post, I left you a comment in another post but that looks alright I guess, gap still there but definitely less. I could live with it.
