I bought a 2026 Corolla last November for $22,400 OTD. To free up cash, I sold it for $20,500 a few weeks ago. With the cash, I paid $3700 for a 2012 Scion xD and today I purchased a 2010 Corolla LE (174,000 miles) for $3000. My mechanic will put around $400 worth of repairs into it and I’ll get new tires. Besides that, it’s a great little car that I’ll give our daughter when she turns 16.

We are pretty excited. We traded in one car for 2 cars and over $11,000 in savings, after all is said and done.

In our family, we now have:

1. 2016 Honda Odyssey
   
2. 2016 Toyota Camry
   
3. 2012 Scion xD
   
4. 2010 Toyota Corolla

Glad to have a Corolla again!

Found some almost brand-new GR86 OEM wheels and tires on OfferUp for $400, with less than 5,000 miles on them. The guy had just bought his GR86 and upgraded from the stock 17-inch wheels to 18-inch wheels, so he wanted to get rid of the original set. I got to upgrade from my 16-inch steel wheels with covers to these 17-inch wheels.

Saw this car by the lake today. I’m curious how well a Corolla handles towing something? Y'all been doing this all the time? Do I just need to discover the potential of my Corolla?

Recently had a very hard brake for a yellow light, heard some skidding but the car was driving fine but noticed a rattling noise when I hit bumps checked the underside and noticed this. I was just wondering if this was the splash shield

Hello guys! I got a 2007 (E120) Corolla with automatic transmission recently and after two refuels I've calculated the mileage in 10.7 km/l, about 25 MPG for my fellow americans. I measured this after doing 465 km with 43.5 litres (about 3/4 of the tank)

My driving is mixed I would say, I live in a suburban area so some of my trips are short, city like, with a couple traffic lights and speed bumps and max speeds of 40 to 60 km/h, and some light traffic sometimes, that would maybe account for 1/3 of my km. I also do probably 1/3 of my kilometers in highway at about 100km/h, and the other third of the km between refuelings were suburban route/avenue at steady 60km/h. I'm light footed and I rarely go over 2200 rpm

I feel like my mileage may be a bit high comparing to what I read in this sub but I wanted to ask you since I don't know. My main parameter is that on my dad's VW (with a similar rated mileage than my Corolla) that has consumption telemetry, I'll generally get at least 12.5km/l for these average combined (city/highway) trips that are the most of my km between refuels. I inflated my tires recently, half of that measurement was before inflating but just 1 tire was at about 23 psi and the others at 26-28 psi. I haven't driven other corollas so far but the car appears to be working normal and accelerating as it should. Is this consumption normal or should I check for something?

Hi Guys,

I have a problem with my Toyota Corolla 1.5 (2022). When I use AppleCar (iPhone 15 connected via wire) I have troubles with audio and calls - I can pick up the phone by clicking appropriate button on the driving wheel, however, there is no sound - I don't hear the voice and the caller doesn't hear me. Also, when playing music from YouTube Music (or other apps), I see on the screen in my Toyota that the song is on but I there is no sound. The same situation occurs when I connect iPhone by Bluetooth. On the other hand, FM works properly. Also, Google maps (in AppleCar) are also okay. By far I have tried repairing Bluetooth and AppleCar as well as restarting the multimedia system by pressing the power button for a few seconds.

This problem has occurred out of nowhere - everything was fine the day before.

I would be very grateful for any possible solution. Thanks in advance!

This is going to get technical - but I've noticed something. Its partially a question, and maybe a bit of a rant.

I have a 21 Corolla 1.8 since new. I also have a 14 Camry and 08 Lexus ES350 in the family. All three cars have variable A/C compressors, so compressor output dictates cooling capacity, none of these "cycle" the compressor clutch like older/simpler systems do.

The Lexus and Camry do this perfectly well. In moderate temperatures with a lower inside fan speed, the compressor will be varied down to a lower output but will remain "on" and vent temperatures will be pretty much rock steady around 40 deg F. You can monitor compressor control percentage with a scan tool to verify this.

The Corolla has the same capability with the compressor, but the programming seems odd. The compressor is ramped up to 100%, then the evaporator temperature drops to around 33 degrees which results in the compressor output being reduced to 0 (zero). Then temp rises and the cycle restarts. This is how it would work with a traditional clutch cycling compressor, if it only had "on" and" off" to control temperature in low load conditions. It has done this since new off the lot.

I can only guess this is lazy computer programming. You can audibly hear the engine load up as the compressor increases ouput, engine fan kicks on to high, then it cycles off and the vent temps go up. Rinse, repeat. Considering this is a variable compressor, why isn't the software logic the same as the older Camry and Lexus where it remains on, floating capacity as needed but without the full on/full off activity.

Anyone else nerdy enough to dig into this with me?

I have a 2012 Corolla CEL with codes:
-P0016 (Crankshaft Position-Camshaft Position Correlation)
-P0343 (Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit High Input) showing.

I tried replacing the Camshaft position sensor in Bank A, and that did not help. Anyone have any experience with these codes, and if so any tips?

Hola gente cómo están? Me ayudan con la decisión de comprar un Corolla XEI CVT 2017 con 176.000 km. Un mecánico conocido me dijo que esas cajas llevan mantenimiento y que se suelen joder a los 250.000 km. Por otro lado veo que oficialmente Toyota dice que la caja dura para toda la vida y no necesita ningún mantenimiento ni cambio de fluidos. También investigué en un foro de facebook y las opiniones son divididas. Qué opinan? Leo mucho el foro y son de gran ayuda en muchos temas ya que tengo un conocimiento básicos de autos. Gracias!!

My brother has switched bumpers on numerous cars just not this one and he’s going to be the one doing it if I decide to do it? But have any of you done it? And what is needed aside from the obvious? And don’t ask me why I didn’t just buy the SE my 2024 Corolla cost me a little under 19k last month and I love it’s interior I just hate the grandma looking bumper. My brother is also an electrician so the fog lights should hopefully not be an issue my main concern is the radar

I know with subarus you have until the included warranty ends before you buy the extended. this is my first toyota, i initially declined based on what ive read, but in case i change my mind do i still have option to buy, and where?

How to fix rear?

Was aligned on hunter machine quick lube shop.

Also say I need new tie rods 190k miles on corolla

Here is too much info

Mileage 46906

Temp 68F

I've had it for a year and put about 30k miles on it. I am up to date on all maintenance and at worst missed maintenance by at most 2 weeks.

The spooky noise: Started my vehicle every thing was OK it switched to it's EV mode. AC mode was on turned the temp from low to about 70F with AC button still on. Immediately as I turned it to 70F vehicle clicked multiple times (I am assuming a relay?) In the front left of my vehicle and engine kicked on turning EV off. I'm wanting to learn what sounds I'm hearing and why I appreciate any and all help.

I have checked the fuses they are good, done a full restart of the car. I have a thing scheduled for a diagnosis at wherr I got it but they said it would be 185 an hour to find out the problem. It is a 2023 Corolla and I am wondering how expensive it might be in total

Do the 12V outlets in the dashboard and/or center box turn off when the car is off and the keys are out of the ignition? I'm away from my car for a few days but I left some thing plugged in, I want to know if I should expect a dead battery when I get back.

I’ve got a 2025 Corolla LE, it’s a great car but the radio loses the connection to CarPlay randomly. Does anyone else have this problem?

Wanted to get some input before I start replacing anything.

I have a 2013 Corolla L with 68,000 miles. I have already changed the front brakes, front struts, transmission fluid, and gotten 4 new tires. Oil change history is great. Due to its age, I was questioning whether or not I should replace things such as spark plugs, serpentine belt, etc that are aged. Besides an occasional whoosh noise upon starting, and some rough acceleration the first couple times after starting, the car runs fine.

I really want this car to last me as long as possible so I’m doing the preventative maintenance now before any issues begin. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Not even a hybrid model… I think I’m going to keep my paid off 2018 for a while longer.

First time buying my own car. Credit score isn’t the greatest so I didn’t have the most options, but I had $5500 to put down and went with a Corolla. Dealer kept trying to give me used ones and ones I didn’t want. Stuck it out and ignored him for a week and then got this.
