    Regular or Premium?

    If I could have justified the $27,500 pricetag of the 2015 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring with the tech package, I would have gotten that for sure.. Talk about an amazing car. Never thought I'd enjoy a sedan that much and the amount of room in the front is superb. Mazda is doing a fantastic job with...

    Hearing gasoline move around

    I've never heard gas splashing around in mine. If you're worried, have the dealer look at it or take one of the techs for a test drive to show them. That will help them understand what you're hearing.

    Regular or Premium?

    That's not necessarily a bad thing. Look at all the electrical issues on several vehicles. Things that look convenient and nice turn into, "Oh great, just another area for a problem."

    TPMS With New Wheels and Tires (18in Wheels)

    Nope. TPMS are TPMS. Just battery operated sensors. Eventually, they will have to replaced several years down the road due to battery wear, but they don't use much power. This saves a lot of money transferring your TPMS to new wheels each time. When I returned my FR-S to stock, I struck a...

    MPG

    Very true. It takes quite a few fill ups to get an idea of how your car is doing. So many factors to contribute.

    TPMS With New Wheels and Tires (18in Wheels)

    I did this on my FR-S and had 0 issues. Your stock TPMS should be fine and they can be programmed to the new wheels.

    What did you do to your Corolla today?

    Got Formula One Pinnacle ceramic tint put on. 15% on the back window, rear two windows, 30% on front two windows, and 15% on the sunroof. Keeps the Texas heat out.

    Can you really tell difference from Eco to LE?

    Are you talking about the eco light that comes on? A Corolla S can't have an Eco trim.

    Magnaflow dropped mpg

    You're probably pressing the gas pedal harder since it makes more noise now without realizing it. A simple muffler replacement won't touch MPG.

    MPG

    Um, the Corolla only has a 13.2 gallon gas tank. You are way off. Try using an app / website like I use in my signature for tracking your fuel fillups. I have a 2015 Corolla LE Eco and I'm averaging 36 mpg overall, but my first two fillups were pure highway mileage.

    Regular or Premium?

    Filling my FR-S with premium wasn't fun either and that car is naturally aspirated! It got 30 mpg driving normally though.

    2015 1.8 CVT build and destroy.....

    I needed a good laugh going into a 3 day weekend. Bcrewcaptain said it well. Not to mention the giant scam of GoFundMe to start things off with. IT'S A FREAKING COROLLA. Go buy a real performance car and mod it. This is just absurd.

    385 miles on tank @80

    Yeah, go ahead and buy that BMW or Mercedes. You'll cry when it's in the shop because it's unreliable and too expensive to repair because every part has to come from Germany. Just because the speed limit says 80 doesn't mean you have to go 80. I drive 65 on the toll road on 45 and 130 in...

    Regular or Premium?

    You should always be using regular 87 octane fuel versus 91/93 octane premium fuel in a Corolla regardless of year. There's not a single Corolla out there that requires premium unless it was done aftermarket and someone turbocharged it. You're just wasting money if you think you're getting...

    tire pressure sensor light

    Sensors are about $75 or so. Most tire shops can install them and program them. You won't be able to remove the light without a new sensor and it programmed.

    2014-2015 Corolla Tires

    They're quiet, and ride very smoothly. Look at the reviews on Tire Rack for the OEM tires for the Corolla and you will see this one is on top. The Continentals aren't too far behind.

    Car Wouldn't Start

    Oops. I had 1,000 miles on it 2 days later after driving back from Columbus, GA to Austin, TX, lol. I was definitely at one speed for a very long time and I'm still trucking along!

    What did you do to your Corolla today?

    Installed the OEM Corolla door seals and the rear bumper protector over the weekend. Got the door seals off ebay for $65 which I was pretty happy about since every site had them for $140 roughly. They look pretty nice when opening the door. I didn't bother with the illuminated ones because...

    2016 Corolla LE, any significant changes?

    Nothing is new for 2016. It's the same model with no changes. I confirmed this with one of my local dealers as I got my 2015 LE Eco Premium.
