My last car was a 1999 Honda Civic manual and I used to shift gears at the following speeds. 1st: 0-10 2nd: 10-20 3rd: 20-30 4th: 30-40 5th: 40 My Corolla has the CVT but also the manual option (paddle and floor gear). What speeds or tachometer levels should I shift at. It has 7 speeds so I am...

Thanks Kopoian, you are very helpful! I did get a good price $20,471 for my '15 S Premium and am happy. If it did sit in the lot, that might explain why the dealer was ale to meet my price.

Thanks Kopoian! I'm surprised Toyota left the hole on the left of the vent where the missing sensor should be :-) Looks bad. Should have put in a dummy knob. I don't mind if it sat on the lot for 2-3 weeks but I'm worried it sat for 6 months and so picked up rust. I'd want a car as soon as...

Thanks Kopoian! By the missing knob on the long vent, I mean the long, thin horizontal vent that touches the base of the windshield. It should have two round knobs on each end as follows. O=======================O One of those knobs is missing for me o=======================O You say al...

I got my 2015 Corolla S Premium end March and notice it has some bugs. I'd appreciate any advice before I call the dealer. Are the items below covered by warranty? 1. Rust-colored spots on muffler. I'm thinking maybe the car was sitting on the lot for a few months before I bought it. Are these...

How does the 3SGT or 3iGT compare with the Corolla in terms of reliability? That is important for me.

Wow, I'm surprised and happy that there isn't a big handling difference between Corolla S Premium (that I bought) and 3SGT. I did not test drive the 3SGT but Consumer Reports and Edmunds both describe a huge difference in handling, steering, interior. Also, I'm surprised at that big $$ gap.

aha, I see you suffer from the same problem I have: liking dependable, frugal cars transportation lacking personality. The Mazda3 is too sporty and a tad unreliable for folks like us :-)

Thanks, ZeCorolla! The blue has been growing on me now because it does look classier than the red while the red is only attention grabbing :) What did you mean by "lower it"? The dealer told me to wash it at a touchless carwash else I may scratch the paint when washing.

Get a Mazda3 for best steering and handling.

Thanks for all the great insights! I've decided not to touch my corolla other than washing and waxing it. The only problem is after I have it washed, I have to drive home to wax it and I'm afraid it'll pick up minute dust particles on the way home that'll scratch the paint when I wax it. Do...

Where can I get plastic blowers installed?

Picked up my new 2015 Blue crush Toyota Corolla last week. I'd like to make it look more interesting. Wondering if anyone has experience installing flame magnets, vinyl flames, or a wrap to their car. I am not looking to do it myself but would like it professionally done and am looking for a...
