    Comtemplating 2013 "S" Purchase

    Tough call. My '09 S has several features no longer available on the '13 models. If I had to buy a C-class car today, I'd look at the Honda Civic, Subaru Impreza, Volkswagen Jetta, Hyundai Elantra, KIA Soul, Nissan Sentra, Scion tC, or Mazda 3. The Ford Focus is too cramped inside, and the KIA...

    Pretty sweet looking, eh? Yeah, I think so...

    TRD or Eibach on 2011 S

    Appreciate the info. Have been contemplating lowering my '09 S for awhile, and knowing of the act, it makes me feel a bit better. Thanks!

    TRD or Eibach on 2011 S

    @Scott: I dig it, and wish those Toyota owners who were refused warranty service based on installation of certain aftermarket parts, like rims, knew of the act.

    Squeaking and Cracking Noises

    Found this T-SB on the subject. Is for 2003-2009 models, but there may be a chance your dealer will perform the fix for your 'Rolla. There may be another T-SB out there for 2010-2012 model years, but I couldn't find it. Cheers

    2013 Corolla Sport and Sat Nav

    Cables or no cables, what's the difference? A Garmin or Tom Tom will set you back, what, a couple hundred bucks for a good one? And you wanna pay ten times that? It's your money.

    Matrix Review

    From what I've read, the Matrix is a goner; Toyota have pulled the plug on it. Seems the reason it was made at all was due to the cooperative effort between Toyota and Pontiac. Now that Pontiac is history, Toyota have a hatchback that few want--mostly, I'm sure, due to its looks. I mean, it's...

    2009 Corolla - Problem, No Clue What to Do

    Hmmm... Caution light is on. Clicking noise. Wife's car. You sure there is oil in it, mate?

    Aftermarket Upgrades

    Have read a few posts around where people have switched from organic (dinosaur) oil to synthetic, and have picked up a few more mpgs. As to aftermarket stuff, I've also heard the folks at Toyota frown upon that, and have, in some cases, voided warranties. If you want to add some aftermarket...

    Toyota Recalls 7.4 Million Cars

    Yeah, I received a letter telling me they'll tell me what to do later on down the road, sort of like a "stand by for further instructions" notice. Am debating whether or not to let some grease monkey get his mucky paws all over my interior (again). Haven't experienced the "sticky" problem...

    2013 Corolla Sport and Sat Nav

    Me, I'll take a paper map over sat nav anyday. But if I wanted to add it to my '09 S, I'd just get a Garmin, or a TomTom, or whatever, and suction-cup it to the dash. Cheers.

    TRD or Eibach on 2011 S

    TRD and Eibach are the same springs; TRDs are Eibachs with the TRD logo on them. Go with the TRD, as it will most likely preserve whatever warranty you have on your car. Besides, a 1.5 drop in the back will be sweet enough, with or without passengers.

    Help - Wheel Question

    Find the specs of TRD (Toyota Racing Development) wheels that were options on your 2011 Corolla, and purchase wheels matching those specs. The powers-that-be at Toyota tend to frown upon oddball aftermarket swaps, and choosing a wrong version of anything for your car may tend to void your...

    2009 Corolla - Bad Smells With A/C

    Odd that you get odors with cabin circulation. I have an '09 S model, and when cabin circulation is off, I get a funkiness from my cabin filter--even after I've vacuumed it. Did you buy the car new? If used, when did you notice the odor? I'd say your cabin filter has nothing to do with the...

    New 2013 Auris (European and Japanese Corolla Hatchback)

    Looks as though Toyota have relegated their version of the Corolla to ages 60+, while adding the Auris to their "Netz" dealership network for the younger crowd (and those who think 60 is just a number). Didn't like the redesign at first, but it is growing on me. The new Auris is Toyota's...

    2011 Toyota Corolla Deccelerating/Accelerating/Idle Issue Resolved

    That's great! For the longest time, people were telling Toyota of this issue! As an aside, the line, "I've never heard of that before", is a FAVORITE among dealers who want us to just go away. You didn't stand for it, and you have your fix. Awesome!

    Rust on Rims

    Had an issue with rust not on wheel rims, but on the lower control arms of my '09 S model. At the time, the big news--along with unintended acceleration--was the frames rusting out from underneath Tundras. I freaked a little, took it to a dealer, and received no word on the issue. So, I cleaned...

    2011 Toyota Corolla Deccelerating/Accelerating/Idle Issue Resolved

    My opinion is, do NOT take any crap from a dealer about this TSB. A dealer close to me wanted nothing to do with other TSBs, and I haven't been back for service since. Remember that ALL Toyota dealers ARE REQUIRED to perform any and all requested TSB procedures.
