    Flame Magnet, Vinyl Flames, or Wrap

    I'm really trying to determine if someone is seriously about to put this on their brand new car, and it's a 4 cylinder eco car to boot. Please don't do this. This only looks good on old streetrods and hotrods with a great paint job. If you do, make sure you go to Autozone and buy every crappy...

    2016 corolla edition special

    I test drove the Mazda3 this past weekend. Really nice car. Only problem is the one I want costs more than the Corolla S Premium because I enjoyed the extra options of course. It's going to come down to how valuable are those extra options to get versus trying to do most of them aftermarket...

    2016 corolla edition special

    As I'm looking at the Corolla, I've also considered the Mazda 3. They offer quite a lot on the inside tech wise, but I haven't gotten a chance to drive one yet.

    2016 Corolla To Get New Powertrain, 25% fuel economy increase, 15% power increase

    http://www.hybridcars.com/toyotas-new-powertrain-could-lead-to-58-mpg-prius/ I included a portion for the Corolla of the article below: Gains for Toyota’s non-hybrid powertrains will be even higher. “By improving thermal efficiency in engines and energy-relay efficiency in transmissions...

    Top speed limited to 114 mph?

    Bingo. I daily drive a 2013 Scion FR-S which is a blast and gets great gas mileage. Also have a modding addiction with that car, but it's no straight line racer. It's a driver's car. The Camaro is the weekend car. Loud and proud. Blast to drive. I'm on these forums because for one, I...

    Top speed limited to 114 mph?

    I'm a member on the Camaro6 forums awaiting the 2016 Camaro. Gen 5 Camaro's are too heavy and fat. I love the F-Body generation. This was the year that all the Corvette owners got mad because the Camaro had the same amount of power, if not slightly more because of the high torque as the 2002...

    2016 corolla edition special

    I'm looking at getting either a 2016 Corolla S or special edition or a 2016 Mazda3 Sedan. The Mazda3 seems to offer a lot of things on the inside, along with blind spot monitoring over the Corolla. The Corolla on the other hand rides softer and has more room. I'm stuck on these two cars, but...

    Speed Up Your Slow Computer!

    CCleaner and Malwarebytes. CCleaner is free and Malwarebytes I got off Newegg for $5 on special, but the freeware version is great too. All you need. Been doing IT for 10+ years.

    Top speed limited to 114 mph?

    Race on the track please. Not only for safety, but so everyone can laugh when you run a 20 second 1/4 mile, lol.

    new 2016 toyota corolla facelift imagens leaked

    Pretty sure this isn't accurate, considering the 2016 SE looks exactly like the 2015 model. Probably won't see a major change till 2017.

    2016 Corolla SE Announced

    I think they are the same car. Canada just got it first, but it has a different meaning there.

    Did I get ripped off when I bought my 2014 Corolla? Are these miles/gallons normal?

    Use an app called Fuelly and track your mileage by your Odometer. MPG is always affected by your foot and how hard you press the gas leaving stop lights or going up hills. Cruise when you can. If you drive like this already, then something is off with the fueling/injectors or another problem...

    Intake Suggestions?

    Increased or decreased drastically? How much MPG are we talking? Usually intakes cause the MAF readings to be off a little bit due to the change in airflow or turbulence past the MAF which also results in decreased MPG slightly.

    New Guy from Houston, TX

    Nice! I live in Austin, TX. I was considering a 2015 Corolla S Premium myself, but I may wait and see if I can snag a 2016. I'm still undecided on the Special Edition since the colors are limited. Welcome to the site.

    Thinking of Buying a Corolla

    You must have gotten a bad one. I had two rentals that were 2014 Corolla LE's and they both got 32+ mpg in city/hwy driving. Something is wrong with that car or you're flooring it everywhere you go. I suggest using an app called Torque and getting a bluetooth OBDII adapter and find out why...

    Thinking of Buying a Corolla

    This is true. My first car I ever drove was a 1990 Honda Accord with 205k miles on it. That thing was a beast and did not want to die. Engine was due for an overhaul, but after that, it could have probably gone 200k more. They aren't built to these standards anymore. The Honda CEO is...

    Removing 2014 Corolla governor chip

    You really should just not swap anything. It's expensive, and can bring a lot of problems from wiring, to fitment, to ECU issues. Based on everything you are trying to do, get a Mustang 5.0. The newer Corollas are daily drivers, not a performance cars. If you want a Vtec engine, you bought...

    Corolla Forum Upgrades to New Forum Software

    Have you guys considered having a member classified section for selling items and requiring a picture, and forum name in the picture? Might streamline it a little better.

    2014 Corolla S CVT Problems

    The CVT is more efficient than the six speed due to constant perfect gear matching. The human element makes it a little inferior, but not by much. I'd prefer the CVT in this car because it's not a sports car. Although, I will argue driving a manual does make you an overall better driver. If...
