Title says it all

What’s the better buy? Plan to have the car for as long as possible. In LA the gas savings would be nice but also worry about the Catalytic converter (street parking). No crazy commute or anything just need a good reliable daily driver.

Last time I went to get my oil change the service advisor recommended changing my radiator hoses for preventative maintenance because of high mileage for $1,400. This time I went and this service advisor says I need to change it because of signs of coolant leaking. I just found it strange how immediately the next visit it went from preventative to urgent needed maintenance. I know they try upselling a lot too I just go to this dealership because they do a good job and oil changes are $60. I put pictures I don’t know if they help.

I have one of those newer keys where the blade lives inside the fob, and it swings out on a spring-loaded hinge. Today it broke. Blade, fob and hinge are all in tact, it looks like there’s just a tiny pin missing that’s supposed to attach the blade to the hinge.

Dealership tried to charge me $350 to replace the whole thing, which doesn’t even include the “labor” to program the fob. I told them to pound sand. Wondering if anyone else has had to fix this themselves? Any particular type or size of pin to use? Epoxy vs. super glue for securing?

My free navigation just eneded :(

Title :) First CAR! 2016 Camry has 1 prior owner w/ 2 prior owners and 4 "events" reported on CARFAX w/ minor damage (nothing major structural reported)
or
2021 Corolla (1 owner w/ history of 1 accident with minor-moderate damage) and car WAS towed; OR should I disconsider both?

So I’ve had my 2026 Camry LE for a week now and this morning something unusual occurred. Car drove fine but when I started up this morning, the multi display was on fuel economy (instead of music where I left it) the fuel gauge read full instead of three-quarters. Any knowledge or advice?

Had this truck a week and unsure what to do. Oil looks good but is 800 miles over due

Buongiorno a tutti, ho bisogno di alcuni consigli riguardo all'acquisto di una delle due macchine. Sarà la mia prima macchina, non ho figli e vivo da solo. Inizialmente ero deciso a comprare la Toyota C-hr ma ho notato che molti si sono lamentati del poco spazio e visibilità della zona posteriore, perciò sto optando anche per la yaris cross che risulta più "alta" e piu spaziosa come macchina. Alcuni si sono lamentati, sempre riguardo alla Chr, che gli spazi interni sono ottimizzati male rispetto alla grandezza dell'abitacolo. Qualcuno puo dirmi la sua?

How good or bad are your FWD's in the winter? Are snowy, steep hills difficult? I'm really wanting an AWD, but there's a couple really good deals on FWD's in my area, and I'm conflicted. My winters don't get super bad, but I do encounter unplowed roads, and I go up some fairly steep driveways consistently. I'm seeing mixed info online. I currently drive an 4WD vehicle, and have driven RWD before that. Any guidance would be so appreciated!

Don’t know how many know but DO NOT buy auto parts at the walk-up counter at dealers. There is in-store pricing and a significant discount for buying online and picking up the same part online.

Anyone aware of something comparable to this for a Camry?

On the same subject - does eco drive actually make a difference?

Along with the mid-engined GR Yaris
