Oh, we can get that too, in the rural mountainous areas. Plus, I don't think the tiny stones are all that effective. And you get the added pleasure of raking them out of your yard every spring. The paint damage is the worst though. Its a sickening feeling when someone goes past you and you...

One of the most sensible and reasonable posts I've seen on "defects". Thank you.

A LOT of manufacturers have rattle problems. As the makers try to cut costs while still trying to make the interiors look like they're using quality materials, this is bound to happen. I remember reading an article a few years ago that Toyota had a corporate goal of reducing the number of...

Mine just developed a rattle I thought was behind the dash on the passenger side. It turned out to be "A pillar" (I think that's right) rattling against the top of the dash where they meet. I stuck a business card into the gap, and it cleared it up, at least for now. Luckily, it was a good...

Coming from a 13 Civic I found the steering on the Corolla Eco actually " less busy", not requiring as many small adjustments and providing better road feel. It was one of the things that sold me on the car. Mine is a 2014 though, and probably has different tires than yours. Electronic...

When you get pelted by hundreds of them when a semi goes by you on the interstate it just chews up your paint. I had a Subaru Forester for awhile that had the plastic unpainted lower body. The whole front of the car was full of divots and the aluminum hood got dented by those things. Its...

I must have the "upgraded" spring on mine. I didn't get an email about it and the spring is super strong, like if you want to almost close it but not quite, the spring pulls it almost open again by itself.

They use salt, calcium and cinders (basically small stones of gravel - just wonderful on your paint), sounds like you're driving in a hail storm. After one winter your bumper and hood, and front fenders and possibly roof will all have damage if not protected.

LOL. Not sure if www.laughatrice.com still exists, but it is one of the best sites on the net. This one is pretty tame, compared to some on there, although it IS bad.

The one I got in DC didn't capture my face at all, just a clear image of the back of my car and license plate going through the red light. The documentation that came with it said I was responsible for the fine as I was the registered owner of the vehicle, and that if I was not the driver, I...

Wow.

It was on topic. Newcorollaowner was explaining that he was upset because he felt he was getting singled out over grammar, etc and took that personally. I responded to his post by trying to explain that the forum meant him no ill intentions and to welcome him back. My opinion is that the forum...

You got that right. My worst driving disgressions I've always gotten away with. And then get pulled over when not breaking a law. Twice, I actually got the policeman to admit I had not committed any transgression when I got pulled over.

Unless I'm missing something, it seems it just directs you to a toyota dealer near you zip code. That's where I initially went to buy touch up paint. After 15 minutes in line, and another ten minutes of him trying to understand the paint code, he told me they didn't have it, but he could order...

I can understand why you were upset. This forum does tend to get a little more personal than some others, it can lead to hurt feelings and forum members moving on. Sounds like you at least have a bit of a presence here again. If so, welcome back and I hope you and the forum both benefit from...

Yeah, prices are all over the place, depending in large part on your state's gas tax. GOP EX!!!!-governernor Corbett here in Pennsylvania hiked our gasoline tax from one of the lower in the nation to one of the highest. He was also the only governor in the country not to charge private...

All it says is that PRIVATE companies can't issue the resulting ticket. The GOVERNMENT and LAW ENFORCEMENT have to do it themselves and still have the right to do it.This really doesn't do anything increase our "freedom", IMO. I don't see a big victory here, other than getting a private...

Yeah that would be an epic FAIL - REDO IT!

Does anybody have any favorite on-line sites to buy things like cargo liners, other OEM accessories and parts, etc? I had a hard time even finding a source to buy touch up paint.

Yeah, I agree with you. It would definitely get the attention of a police officer. Although lately with some of the stupid and illegal things I've seen people do right in front of a cop makes me wonder if anything gets their attention.
