    '12 'Rolla "S" Manual - Engine RPM at Highway Speed?

    Well, the faster you go the worse the mileage. If I recall correctly studies show the sweet spot for highway mileage is 55. I'm by no means a speed demon but not even I go 55 if I can avoid it lol

    Upgrading a 2013 Corolla L Radio

    As far as the radio and trim it is just plug and play. As for the features I can only assume everything would work.

    '12 'Rolla "S" Manual - Engine RPM at Highway Speed?

    When the vvt-I kinks in I do not know. However vvt-i will not lower rpm. I have a 13 with the 5 speed and cruising at 100kms/h I see about 2700ish rpm. 100 I think is around 60miles so what u see sounds right for your speed.

    Paint Scratches

    behind the handle is fairly common. I have noticed behind the handle in my past cars and it is do to fingernails. Believe it or not it is fairly easy to get surface scratches unless there is a $10000 paint job with many many layers of clear coat

    Slits or Slots?

    Anyone know what the slits or slots are next to the ignition switch? They were on my Pontiac and I do believe there in every car now and I never have figured it out. It is just more curiosity on my part.

    2010 Toyota Corolla Off The Beaten Path Video

    that is cool ride. I remember my 1995 Pontiac Firefly (Geo Metro) and a camping trip. It was a manual transmission and I made it up a steep incline with a huge rut right in the middle. all my buds were telling me to leave it at the bottom and they would take my gear up in their trucks and vans...

    New Tires

    I see your point but at the same time by asking a question and not being specific makes it hard to answer. I work on the phones everyday. When I pick up a call I get lots of (among many others) "i'm calling about my car loan" and that is it. Does the customer want to make an extra payment? Is he...

    OEM Navigation into 2011 Corolla S

    I don't have nav but I do have the factory touch screen radio and it takes a few seconds to come to life when car is turned on. I don't find it an issue tho. I would think a factory nav should have no issues to be connected but not sure if the navigation would work as the car was not built with...

    2013 Corolla - Recommend Tire Air Pressure

    check you pressure once a month as good practice. the Corolla's here in Canada were never available with TPMS sensors. Tire placard as mentioned is good to start. the 16" wheels are recommended to be at 32 PSI
