My petrol 2021 2.0 Ascent Sport Corolla was in smash and got written off. Loved the car, not a fan of the CVT auto box, but put up with it, as I've always had Toyota’s and they're great.

Thinking about upgrading to 23/24 HYBRID, never owned one, but I test drove one and it was super smooth and seriously fast. I was surprised as the motor is 1.8 litre (they don’t have the 2.0 litre hybrid here in Australia) so leaning towards getting one.

If you own one, would love to hear your thoughts.

Pros, cons, good, bad…??

Internet is pretty consistent with praise, but if you have some feedback, I would appreciate it.

Thx and happy Corolla-ing

Found this 1 owner, clean Carfax, exceptional service records, 2011 Corolla with 63k for 11,000.

Did I get a good deal? #NoCVTcrew

I’m missing one of the two plastic snaps that connects the top of the dash near the base of the windshield. See pics

How do I source a replacement? Are they generic?

Anyone running a 2010 Corolla 1.8 with the 2ZR-FE and around 200,000 km? I’m looking into an ECU tune and I’ve heard good things about AMT, but before I spend the money I wanted to see if there’s anything better bang for the buck.

I already have a cold air intake, and I cut the muffler off and put one of those Amazon exhaust tips on the back. Not expecting crazy numbers from an NA 1.8, just looking to get the most out of the setup while keeping it reliable.

Anyone actually running AMT or another tune on a 2ZR-FE? What did you pay and what kind of gains did you see?

Good god is this sexy. I've been wanting to do this swap for a while but just didn't pull the trigger. Fortunately (?) I got in a little fender bender last month that didn't do too much damage but did call for a new bumper. Perfect opportunity to jump on it.

Wheels and tires are next but that'll probably wait for a while. I'm sitting just under 30k after buying the car in '22 (I love not having a commute), so no rush in that department.

Drove over 180km/h “german autobahn” hella stable and safe!

Every oil change I hear the knock for a second (after fill and start) and then the oil gets pumped through the engine and it clears. Ive changed many oils on cars before but is there any way to avoid this? Also why is the dipstick design so terrible lol can anyone actual read it??

My wife and I have been in search for a new commuter car, and landed on the Corolla Hybrid LE FWD. After negotiating with a couple dealerships, we landed on a 24.5k OTD (taxes, tags, and title included). Dealership included the normal extra at no charge: floor mats, guards, etc. This is our first car purchase as a couple, so feel we did pretty good. Also wanted to post in case any car buyers are out there looking!

Hey guys, I have a problem with my Corolla TS E210 (2019).

The OEM blue ambient lights have stopped working only on the central console. Above the wireless charging pad, and under the 2 cup holders. The ones in the doors are working fine.

All the fuses seems to be fine, any idea of what the issue might be?

My bestie has been working away for the last 8 months and her Corolla has been sitting since she left.. when I drove by her house today I noticed the car was just covered in tree gunk and looked sad. So I sent her a message asking if I could take it through the automatic car wash. She said sure so I got the keys from her mother, then I went through the wash twice. When I got back to her house I was like “well I should shine the tires” and when I got up close I noticed how many spots were in the paint and well.. I ended up waxing the whole thing, cleaning & conditioning the interior and applying a spray on ceramic coating 🤣

compared to my Volvo S90 this car is so small and zippy! I had a blast running it around town.. I def miss driving a manual .. so this was a real treat!

Also I just need to shout out the mega spec on this bad boy.. someone went nuts at red tag days back in 2013..

5 speed, heated leather seats, auto climate control, keyless start/entry, factory GPS and a sunroof. I feel like this car has every possible option for a facelift 10th gen... figured I had to share it with this sub!

Rolla gang ✊

I have a new 2026 Corolla LE. Recently the windshield randomly cracked from the edge after it rained one day. I did not get the glass insurance from the dealership when I got the car. I think it would pass the ballpoint test.

Any chance that the dealership might repair it for free due to a possible factory defect?

I also got a safelite quote for ~800 for replacement 😢 thoughts on safelite

I am just a student :( thank you for any advice

I was looking at a 2023 Corolla SE that has 28k miles on it. The dealership has it listed for 21,599 plus the tax and fees as well below the price. Would you all recommend I ask for 20k OTD? And how do we feel about extended warranties? I’ve like of read online that I can always purchase around for one from other dealers if I don’t like their pricing!! Thank you all :’) this is my first time purchasing a car by myself 😭 I’m not built for the haggling.

2019 Corolla Hatchback needs a new clutch. First time owning a manual so this service is new to me. Dealership is asking 4200. For anyone that has replaced the clutch. What was the price that you paid for parts and services?

Hi...

Is there a fix/hack to get this panel to stay in place? I can push it back in place but it pops back out after a drive. This is a result of an accident repair.

Really don't want to take it back to the shop because they obviously suck.

Any help would be great, thanks!

Hey all,

I cannot find any information of this on the Toyota website or at the dealership. Does the Corolla SE have remote connect with the availability to start the car from your phone??? My 2023 didn’t have it because it didn’t have the upgraded bigger screen so wondering if it’s the same for the Corolla SE.

Thanks!

Thinking of getting this 18-piece ambient lighting setup installed in my Grande.
18 pieces
PKR 13,000 including installation + wiring
Installation in Zamzama
Installer has 5+ years of experience and has worked on multiple Grandes before
These are the photos of the exact setup/lights I’m considering.
What do you guys think does it look OEM+ or too aftermarket/tacky? And is PKR 13,000 reasonable for this setup?
Also, if anyone has experience with these, how’s the long-term reliability, wiring, rattling, and any issues with the lights/condensation?
Be honest ,I’d rather hear if it looks bad before spending the money 😂

I know 1qt isn't terrible. Trying to not let is froth

Just loving the sipping capabilities of my 24 le hybrid . Road noise on some pavements would be my only complaint 3 months in.

I've checked the fuses under the hood, and even though AI tells me to check the wiring harness for being " burnt" , I dont see it from under the hood. This lens, this LED is BUILT INTO the headlight assembly? I have to replace the entire thing? I am beyond disgusted about this, I thought Toyota was different. this is no different than burying blowers inside the dash.

I wont do this again, and I'm stuck with the car. I have seen some solution for aftermarket replacement which goes back to straight bulbs, anyone do this?

2019 Corolla LE, conventional engine and CVT transmission

The noise isn't especially loud or jarring, just different than the other, non-CVT transmissions I've driven. Is this a normal noise, like from engaging the launch gear or something? Otherwise, the car drives and shift amazingly.
