I'd like to see a return to Italian styling, like on my '09 S. Also, how about integrated ground effects like on the new Camry, rather than the bolt-on stuff? I wish they'd make the tilt/telescoping wheel go down at least an inch more, and about another inch or so back. The rear-seat room is...

Read about this very issue somewhere a year or so ago. Some stainless-steel mesh screen was the fix; it allows air water to run through and keeps the critters out. Another area of entry for them is around the trunk area where a vent allows interior air to escape. The same screen works there...

This is gonna sound weird, but after all, the subject is electronics: Is it possible that the beeps are somehow generated by the locking mechanism? If we late-model Toyota owners use our key fobs to open the doors, they'll automatically lock themselves exactly 60 seconds later, and go "beep"...

Thinking TRD? They are just re-badged Eibach springs. Have thought of this mod myself, and would buy them from these cats: http://performance-suspension.eibach.com/

Had similar issues with my '09. You are correct in assuming your throttle position has something to do with the hard upshifts. The 10th-gen models have "adaptive" automatics, meaning that they "learn" how we drive. I personally believe they get confused, causing the hard shifts. A 15-year trans...

Seriously, for the sake of your warranty, go ahead and have your oil changed at a reputable dealer/pro oil-change shop.

May be some system thinking something is going on when it isn't. Sounds screwy, but my '98 S10 sometimes thinks someone is trying to start it in another way other than with the key, and it jerks and jerks. Only did it in the morning after a rain. Could drive it to work, let it sit in the rain...

postal, you may want to check into resetting the low tire pressure indicator. Pretty sure you have to do that. Information on how to do it should be in your manual somewhere. Good luck with that, too, as the Corolla's manual is waaaay different than what we're used to seeing in past domestic...

MolonLabe, I've heard that ANY aftermarket additions to a Toyota may mean trouble down in road if you have any warranty claims. If you want to put other wheels on your Corolla, I'd look into factory-stock or TRD parts. That way, warranty issues should be of no concern. And as to your feelings...

Auto trans, vehicle totally stock (still running original Bridgestone Turanza tires), 87 octane fuel.

Coolness! Thank you for the post!

Yes, I did, thanks! Hope you did, too!

The best advice I could give, from an artist's point of view, is to look at the 10th generation XRS wheels, and choose custom rims based on principles applied to them: Notice that its spokes extend all the way to the bead lip of the rim. This design principle visually enlarges the size of the...

Concerning my '09 Corolla S, the car is stock. Only use 87 Octane fuel. No mods. I come up to speed gradually, let the trans shift when it wants without too much prodding on my part, and brake gradually, which, I believe, contributes to good mpg numbers. Seems to be working for me so far!

Hey, Drive an '09 Corolla S in Barcelona Red. Thought I'd say hello! Mike

Have an '09 Corolla S with the 1.8L and auto trans. Haven't had the problem outlined in this thread, but took my 'Rolla in to my dealer this Monday for another trans-related issue. The tech told me in all his 15 years of experience, the most common problem with a Toyota is with its electronics...

I have an '09 S and get 40+ mpg highway. Average around 33-34 mpg in combination rural route/city driving.
