You might well have a lot of life in them yet since you do a lot of highway driving. Stick shifts tend to be easier on the brakes too. I've had Honda and Toyota vehicles go close to 200k miles on original brakes. As someone mentioned above, I had a Tercel where the rotors went bad before the...

Sounds like a warranty issue for the dealer to take care of. Could possibly be a motor mount? Sometimes they can cause odd clunking sounds, and sounds are hard to localize. Anyway if it's consistent or you know how to reproduce it take it to the dealer and demonstrate it to the tech.

I don't see anything problematic. Seems normal to me. You're really gunning it hard, downshifts are going to be less smooth as a result. If you're concerned, I would suggest driving a little more conservatively. Or opting for a manual trans. But I don't think you have a problematic car..

Did the RPM's increase as you pressed the accelerator? If so, and the car didn't increase speed it sounds like the transmission is slipping. If not, then I would suspect a fuel system problem. Either way, I'd definitely get it checked out by a mechanic.

Oil change is not the issue, you aren't overdue and that wouldn't trigger the check engine light anyway. Take it to the dealer and get it diagnosed, don't throw away money on an unnecessary oil change. At your mileage, whatever is wrong is on Toyota's expense.

Easiest possible solution is to check to be sure your gas cap is tightly closed. If that is the problem it should clear the light in a short time. Other than that take it to the dealer, it's a warranty issue

That's a lot of unnecessary idling in very cold temps. No more than a minute should be needed even in the coldest temperatures. That's definitely playing a big part in hurting your mileage. That and cold temperatures and mostly city driving, your gas mileage sounds about right. Cut your idle...

They don't even install at widest part of the door. I saw a white one with them on on a parking lot this morning. Didn't look too bad, although I still don't care for them. And guess what, car had a nice big door ding about a foot or foot and a half above the molding, right st the seam on the...

Not familiar with that model trim, but i very much that would not be possible. A 0-10 scale doesn't give you much fine control - I'd rather have the 0-40 scale anyway

I personally think they look "80's". With the big variety of vehicles around, if abig truck or SUV dings you, the most likely scenario, it will likely hit above the mouldings. I've seen the mouldings on the corollla and they are small and then, not much protection. At least they are body...

Really three possibilities - tires not balanced properly, one or more tires out of round, warped or bent wheel(s).

I would rather have a PDR repair than a new fender if it were me. Better to have factory paint all around. It may not be possible though as the dents are fairly large and there are creases built into the design of the panel which may interfere

Hard to say if they'll just get you a new panel and get it painted or repair the dents and repaint. On the OUTSIDE chance a PDR guy can do it, I'd at least look into it. My next choice would be a new panel rather than filling the dents. Just be sure new panel is OEM. They aren't all that...

Yeah, it definitely looks like the damage was inflicted by a foot or perhaps a fist or elbow. I think sometimes people get offended (I don't know why?) when people park their new car far away from the pack in an effort to keep it from getting dinged. I think in the mind of some people they...

You may be right, unfortunately, but I don't agree with this philosophy. Makes me glad I have a relic manual transmission, that assumedly the manufacturer should know how to repair.

Yes, disposing of a 300 dollar TV instead of repairing it is one thing, but a 6000 dollar transmission is another. I think it speaks poorly of automakers to be equipping their cars with major components that they don't know how to service or repair. Surely that knowledge must exist with the...

Why is it that the CVT is considered to not be repairable? It has less moving parts than a conventional automatic, and in fact it's design and function is also less complicated than an automatic. I just don't understand the "throw it away and buy a new one for 6k". If it's simply a case of the...

You have to get custom-made ones for them to not look tacky, IMO. They're pretty expensive. You may also have issues with them interfering with airbags, not sure on Corolla. You'd be better off Scotchguarding or using a similar product on them to make stains easier to remove. If you do get...

I would advise against it. Is the bolt pattern the same? Are the tires load rating the same or better than the stock tires? What are width and aspect ratio of the tires? If the overall circumference of the wheel and tire are different, yes you will mess up the speedometer and the odometer...

The Civic turned into more of a conservative small family sedan with the Si retaining the sporty heritage. The Mazda 3 and to a lesser extent the Corolla are now more like what the Civic used to be. The 2016 civic is said to return to its more sporty heritage. I have an '05 and a '15 Civic...
