I shelled out the $200 Toyota OEM parts blood-money & purchased the hood insulator molded-fiber piece & 6 clips that should have been standard on the SE to begin with, just like it is for the 2.0L XSE. Heck, even my 2015 Yaris SE hatch had that standard from the factory for its tiny little hood...

Based on what I have read around on the internet, it is an annoying characteristic of the engine in cold-weather/freezing environments. I live in Phoenix, AZ, where it never gets very cold, & have never yet heard anything like that from my 2020 Corolla SE sedan 6-MT. Hopefully, it doesn't...

I've read a few problem posts on various Corolla message threads on the internet regarding issues with the 2.0L TNGA engine & cold environments. I live in Phoenix, AZ where it NEVER gets very cold & haven't experienced any strange engine issues yet with my 2020 SE sedan 6-MT.

Regarding the new hybrid Corolla, I wasn't a fan of the non-SE/XSE Corolla sedan front styling, dinky little 15" wheels, the lazy & corner-cutting muffler/exhaust implementation, etc. I would like to buy a hybrid, but there seems to be an issue with Toyota believing that all hybrids should look...

My Yaris SE was 195/50-R16 & the 50 profile tires was the sweet spot between sporty lower-profile looks & ride quality. I checked a wheel/tire calculator some time ago & 215/45-R18 tires on our 18" factory rims would hardly affect the MPH readout at all (actual 65 MPH would read as 64 MPH on...

I agree with you on the 17" wheels, like what the Corolla iM was using. Seems like the sweet-spot for wheel & tire size for a car this size. 16" alloy wheels looked perfect on my little 2015 Yaris SE hatch, but the same 16" wheel size on the 2019+ Corolla SE hatchback (& sedan if it was ever...

So, I took my new 2020 Corolla SE sedan to the dealership for a full-synthetic 'break-in' oil change at 1.5K miles last week (car also sat on lot for 4 months before I purchased it), & while I was there I pointed out the hazy little section of glass on inside of my upper windshield where the...

Are you in the U.S.? My 2020 Corolla SE Sedan 6-MT has the useless lane-keeping-assist feature. It can be set to off, warning only, or warning+corrective action. I have it set off. Same with the stupid feature that reads speed limit signs & such. Toyota should just ditch those gimmicks &...

I do like the automatic climate control system & look/feel of the controls in general, but you are right that the buttons & text are small & require some active scrutiny to see which button is which & such.

My main dislike about my 2020 Corolla SE Sedan 6-MT is the key-less ignition system in general. I would rather have a regular key w/remote lock/unlock buttons like my 2015 Yaris SE 5-MT had. I would also rather have a regular pull-brake parking brake over the electronic parking brake nonsense...

TFS doesn't even have the simple option on their website to add a principle-only amount to your monthly payment. That makes them either inept or shady/greedy (wanting full interest on the loan). Capital One had a much better website & friendly setup for online payment (I used them for my last...

Push-belt design CVT's are already random-reliability as it is. Better baby that thing & hope it makes it to at least 100-120K.

I would change the CVT transmission fluid every 30-40K, most especially on any random-reliability push-belt CVT. You can't baby those things enough & count yourself lucky if it makes it to 120K. I also plan to change the fluid in my manual transmission every 30-40K. Areas of extreme hot/cold...

I averaged 42.6 MPG my first month of driving my 2020 Corolla SE Sedan 6-MT. Most of that was unhindered straight-shot highway driving at 65-68 MPH in 6th gear around PHX, AZ. A/C has been on auto-control 70-72 degrees during that time.

I've played with eco A/C mode a bit, & have had it on mostly for first month of driving. It seems to just run the fan 1 notch lower than with it off from what I can tell up-front. Not sure what else it may be doing in the background. I don't consciously hyper-mile, but I do have laid-back...

I went with Toyota Financial Services @ 2.9% APR interest.

I just purchased my J-VIN made-in-Japan 6-speed manual 2020 super-white 2020 Corolla SE sedan about a month ago, & loving it (plus I picked it up at steal of a price, since it was sitting on dealer lot unwanted for 4 months). The clutch/shift dynamics are very nice, smooth & silky IMO. Before...

I'm about 1 month into my ownership of a super-white 2020 Corolla SE Sedan, 6-speed manual. For my first tank of gas I measured via both the car's system & manually. After my first week of driving, the reset computer indicated I was averaging 42.2 MPG. My manual calculations had me averaging...
