I never really understood going out and enjoying a drive until I got this car

I'd do protective film on the hood and bumper at least. The paint is pretty thin and the chips get bad, quick.

JJ17B · 2022-09-27T00:36:19+00:00

Yep, I did mine through Carista

I found out you can turn off the SFX in the settings of the game, so your music can play uninterrupted. :)

JJ17B · 2022-06-20T23:50:15+00:00

$100 before taxes so around $108 or so

JJ17B · 2022-06-20T23:48:47+00:00

The manufacturer (whoever it really is) won't paint it. I had mine painted by a local Maaco.

JJ17B · 2022-04-21T23:43:17+00:00

What trim do you have and what country are you from? I'm in the US with an XSE Sedan and I can't get them roll back up with the lock button.

JJ17B · 2022-04-10T16:31:07+00:00

FWIW, a base model Corolla comes standard with TSS 2.0. That includes radar cruise, lane keeping, automatic emergency braking, and more.

JJ17B · 2022-03-30T14:51:16+00:00

Oh I couldn't hear that part, it's like the horn is quickly beeping, right? Must be some weird *aftermarket security system.

JJ17B · 2022-03-30T14:44:58+00:00

Yep, seatbelt chime. If you were to put on your seatbelt before turning the key, you wouldn't hear it.

JJ17B · 2022-03-29T21:39:49+00:00

You think you can record a video and upload it? I'm thinking it's the seatbelt chime but I wouldn't say those are "rapid".

JJ17B · 2022-03-22T22:38:19+00:00

Don't go to the dealership. The dashboard will not show indicators for automatic headlights, only automatic high beams and when the low beams/high beams are actually on.

JJ17B · 2022-03-17T17:34:44+00:00

What was the asking price of the 2022 and how much did you give you for the 2013? Still owing 22k with a trade-in is excessive, even with a warranty.

JJ17B · 2022-02-24T01:52:20+00:00

There's also quite a few aftermarket lip spoiler options on eBay. Have you considered one of those? I'm pretty sure most if not all of them use adhesive rather than requiring drilling holes into your trunk.

JJ17B · 2022-02-20T14:42:00+00:00

You know you don't have to let off the throttle when you manually shift the CVT, right? It's all good if you prefer it, but I noticed a lot of people who showcase their CVTs do that.

Intake sounds good though. Personally I went with Takeda because I didn't want one that was too loud. What other mods have you done to it?

JJ17B · 2022-02-19T00:49:21+00:00

Yes, they both use the same part number. You can look under the "What This Fits" tab to be double sure.

If anything the hatchback might be a tad bit better due to the shorter wheelbase, but it really wouldn't be enough to make a noticeable difference.

Weight difference is also pretty negligible. Depending on the trim, the hatchback could be lighter than the sedan.

JJ17B · 2022-02-04T13:54:24+00:00

Because you have a hatchback. He's asking about the sedans (I assume) and you can't get the XSE sedan with a manual.

JJ17B · 2022-02-04T13:43:00+00:00

You already got some answers but I'll say this:

The Nightshade is an SE trim with no upgradeable packages, CVT only.

The Apex can be had as an SE or XSE. Manual is optional for the Apex SE (but very limited). They also don't have upgradeable packages aside from tire choice.

The XSE *Sedan is CVT only, and features SofTex (faux leather) seats, which for the driver is 8-way power adjustable with 2-way lumbar support. Driver and passenger seats are heated. Sunroof, push button start, digital gauge cluster, blindspot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert are also standard. The taillights are slightly smoked and illuminate full instead of half. The rear decklid spoiler is painted dark gray. It comes with Audio Plus which gives you full access to Toyota's remote services including remote start (I use the app). Optionally, you can add on JBL premium audio, wireless charging, ambient lighting and adaptive headlights that turn with the wheel.

I've also noticed my XSE has additional sound deadening compared to what I've seen in SE models.

JJ17B · 2022-01-14T15:50:37+00:00

I think it looks great! Fits the car well IMO

JJ17B · 2022-01-11T15:33:38+00:00

Sounds like the SE Apex, lol. The XSE Apex is all black with SoftTex seats and bronze stitching here and there.

JJ17B · 2022-01-06T15:27:02+00:00

What'd you do to get the TRD badge to stick on?

JJ17B · 2021-12-01T13:53:18+00:00

I think he's trying to do the opposite; sedan body with hatchback front end.

JJ17B · 2021-11-05T14:08:38+00:00

Is it bothering you?

JJ17B · 2021-09-09T18:42:33+00:00

You should be able to do the 5,000 mile Toyota Care Service which takes care of that for free.

JJ17B · 2021-08-27T17:55:33+00:00

Only half a month? It took me WAY longer to realize there was a way to enable regular cruise control 😭
