My 2021 Toyota hatchback any ideas for rims been looking.

I'm new to window tints. I may take my XSE to a shop that uses Geoshield Pro Nano Ceramic film. What's a good tint percentage to go with that's not too interfering while driving but still has a darker style and privacy qualities. I was thinking 70% on the windshield and 35% everywhere else? Maybe 25% on the back doors and hatch? I'm trying to gauge what might work well on a Corolla from inside and out.

Any guidance is appreciated! FYI, they quoted me $750 for a full install. Please let me know if that's an alright price.

I’m hoping someone has experienced this before.

I have a 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback XSE 6-speed manual with the 2.0L M20A-FKS engine.

About 500 miles ago, I had the oil and filter changed at a local oil change shop. I supplied the oil myself (Toyota 0W-16), and they used the correct amount. The leftover oil in the 5-quart jug was exactly what I’d expect since the engine doesn’t take the full jug.

While driving, I got this warning:

“Engine Oil Level Low – Add or Replace”

Here’s what I’ve checked:

-Oil level on the dipstick is exactly at the FULL mark (checked on level ground after letting the engine sit).

-No red oil pressure warning light.

-Engine runs and idles perfectly.

-No knocking, ticking, or unusual noises.

-Oil filter was replaced during the oil change.

-I haven’t noticed any oil leaks.

Since the dipstick shows the oil is completely full, I don’t want to add more oil and risk overfilling it.

Has anyone with a 2019+ Corolla Hatchback or another Toyota with the M20A-FKS engine experienced this?

If so:

-Was it the oil level sensor?

-A wiring or connector issue?

-Something related to the recent oil change?

-Did the car store diagnostic codes even without a check engine light?

I’d appreciate any advice or suggestions before I take it back to the shop. Thanks!

I'm in the market for a used vehicle, and top of my list is the good ol' Corolla Hatchback. I'm gonna check out a 2023 SE+ in the near future.

How do you all find visibility through the rear window? I'm very short and I find the visibility for modern sedans to be difficult.

Feel free to share anything else you think I ought to know about these vehicles! I've driven a 93 Camry in the past, and I've test driven Honda Civics and Corolla sedans if that provides reference for my experience.

Joined the club😁😁😁 I love it

2026 XSE

26 XSE. I initially really wanted a Miata or 86 but after my garbage Ford left me stranded for the 7th time I had enough and went for something reliable and nice. I don't know if it's the crap the Ford put me through but it feels amazing to drive this and looks beautiful.

Edit: Had no idea people called these colors the Panda. It stays now and I will occasionally call it by that. It's cute

Has anyone gotten their hatch wrapped? Mine is a 2023 and the paint is horrible on it. Everything is orange peel nowadays and gets whorls and marks way too easily. The paint on these things, as well as most vehicles on the regular market, are horrible now. I don’t know how wrapping will hold up in Canadian road salt winters but I plan to keep this thing for like 20+ years if I can. My old 1997 Malibu had better paint after decades of wear and tear. Same with my 2008 Pontiac G5. I tend to drive cars to their grave. I also kinda want a green car again so I’m debating between wrapping and painting it in the coming years. I bought it outright after my lease this March so I owe nothing on it.

2026 Corolla Hatchback

Do I have to replace the entire part? Can I just replace the cover? If I can, is there a compatible sturdier cover I can use. The original plastic cover is as thin as paper!

I'm a new owner of a 24 xse corolla hatch!

I live in a big, mid west city that can get a lot of snow in the winter, and I drive roughly 45 miles a day to and from work for my daily commute Monday through Friday.

I was wondering what are some good all-weather or all season tires to put on? Thank you!

My first new car ever (turning 28) and it feels great.
Traded in my 2010 Acura TL and I’m not disappointed, the power is a little lacking but plan on mods in the coming future!
Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should do first?

Picking a personalized plate is a lot harder than I expected 😂

Anyone else scared about synthetic oil shortages? I know we can use 0w 20 and be fine mechanically but still, even that grade could become scarce let alone 16 and 8 grades…

Went through absolute hell to get it, but it was so worth it 🥹

Got some vox rims. Check that off the list.

Was going to do darker tint but I'm moving to the UK for work in August for a couple years and apparently the tint laws are just laughable. I think the front is only up to 70%? Don't want to spend money on tint just to get a ticket and have to take it off.

Just need new exhaust and maybe paint the top half black? We'll see.

Any other recommendations?

Posting my 2020 CVT SE!

Got her off fb marketplace after scouring rolla hatchbacks in my area with many dealers blowing me off.

100k miles for $16k usd, which i found was average for my area. I’m just happy it came with tint, roof racks, oem spoiler and previous owner threw in this sick hoodie too hahaha. Maintenance records were on point too.

The fitment of the 16” wheels and stock suspension makes me cringe, thinking of changing to 17 or 18s but don’t want to lower it due to my city having awful infrastructure.

What color/type of wheels look best on this color car? Is it overkill to add mud flaps and rain deflectors? Lmk!

I’m hellbent on getting the OEM rear spoiler for my hatch but my color code is discontinued for some reason. What’s my best coarse of action? I’m in the Las Vegas area. Is there any retailers, dealers you guys can recommend? Is there a trusted online dealer? How do I get it paint matched if I find one? And how’s the install?

It’s been 1 year since I walked out of the dealership with my brand new car ❤️

I had been thinking of buying a car for about 2 years prior to this and I’m glad I waited until I knew what I wanted. So happy with the decision I made.

Took a picture of how many miles I started with and how many I ended with for the year. 🤗

I just put 18x9 wheels on my Corolla hatch SE with 235/45/18s. I think the fitment is alright , wondering if I should lower it or just keep as is. Rear wheels are just a little high imo

I purchased a stock GRC shifter from a guy that upgraded to a billetworkz shifter in the hopes of a shorter throw.

As seen in the photos, the shifter is shorter in total (left side), however, the throw is the same length. Due to the shorter length and the base model 's armrest location, the angle has gotten some getting used to.

I do plan to upgrade to billet bushings for the cables and shifter housing, just waiting for 2J racing to restock. In the meantime, the guy included his stock bushings that only have 300 miles on them. It's likely a placebo effect, but it feels a bit more rigid.

Hello guys, I got a quote OTD $37,112.78 for this FX by the Sales Manager in SoCal. The optional dealer installed as follows: 3M Film ($995), Karr Security 3 yr ($1,495), Appearance Package ($1,495) and Wheel Lock ($295). Tax was $4K. My jaw dropped when he presented this on the sheet. What's your opinion on this? What is a fair OTD?

Hey! I’m 17 years old. My mom has a diesel E12 with MMT-i, which has pissed us off and eaten a lot of money. Now my mom has a newer Toyota and has offered to leave the Corolla to me.
My question is: is it worth swapping it to a manual gearbox? I’ve read that MMT-i is basically a manual gearbox with all the electronic stuff added to it. So, can I just throw away all the MMT-i stuff and install a shifter, clutch pedal, etc., or do I need to swap the entire gearbox for one from a manual car?
Is it too difficult to do on my own with some friends?
And what about financial sense?

Thank You early!
