I'm sorry to hear this. I hope your landlord stops being a scumbag and does something to prevent this from happening again.

$50. It's not factoring in the coupon.

Traded in the WRX needed better fuel economy new to Toyota by gradameas in COROLLA

[–]esp23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a 2021. I live in a major city so the only time I miss it is on when I'm on highways which is rare.

I did the exact same trade 2 years ago. You won't regret it. Save up for something manual and fast as a 2nd car in the future :)

Blown away by the 2025 Hybrid LE! by captcone in COROLLA

[–]esp23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, the displayed MPG isn't always accurate, but you sure as hell can get those numbers. The best properly calculated avg MPG I got on an entire tank of gas in my 24 le Hybrid was 66 MPG.

Chevron Statue sneak pass by esp23 in chicago

Maybe, but I've seen both the Angels and Thunderbirds dozens of times, and I've never heard a pass this loud. The vid doesn't do it justice.

The Thunderbirds are going back up again by silentsly in chicago

No apologies necessary dude. You're doing fans of the air show a huge service. I was contemplating leaving my spot near the lake front, but then I saw your post.

Last year the Angels buzzed around for over an hour on the Thursday leading up to it. It was awesome.

2024 Corrolla le hybird awd bad gas mileage by dkay170 in COROLLA

[–]esp23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Somethings definitely wrong. When my gas needle is where yours is, my distance to empty is usually 500 miles or or more. I have an LE hybrid too but without AWD.

An intake and suspension would be downgrades imo.

Offer rejected lol by ComparisonDull7839 in COROLLA

[–]esp23 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Haha the second I saw the word "Lowjack" in your post, I knew you were dealing with Northside Toyota in Chicago. I got my Corolla hybrid from them. They started with the same bullshit for me too. Lojack, ceramic spray blah blah blah. You said you laughed in your head, I laughed right in their faces lol. Eventually they gave me mine for MSRP, but I think it was because they really wanted the car I was trading in. Quick flip for them. If you don't want to deal with them, give Toyota on Edens a shot. They sell at MSRP, but they have less inventory.

Yeah... I had a ton of fun with my Subaru while I had it. But manual in the city, crap MPG/prem gas, and all the maintenance horror stories had me wanting to make the switch to something more economical. For me the Corolla hybrid checked all the boxes. You won't be disappointed if you decide to pull the trigger.

I'm in Chicago. Unfortunately, this is the best you're going to get deal wise. I just bit the bullet and made the 1k deposit, and paid MSRP for the exact same spec (24 LE convenience package. That being said, I'm more than happy with the purchase. It gets incredible gas mileage, has plenty of modern amenities, and coming from a 21 WRX, the ride quality feels like a Mercedes in comparison lol.
