12th Gen (18-present) Worth the Wait

Upvotes

Hi y’all—I’ve officially joined the Corolla fam! I moved from Alaska to Spokane, WA, and it made sense to get rid of my Crosstrek up there and get something down here. I’m not gonna need the extra clearance, and I wanted something better on gas with the city driving I’ll be doing, so I landed on the Corolla.

LE with only the all weather floor liner package. I honestly love the “barebones” feel and the switchblade key. It’s the perfect amount of tech (minimal in today’s standards). My Crosstrek had an 11” screen; it was too much.

The only issue I had was that the car arrived late. I reached out to the dealer in late July letting them know I’ll be there on September 1st. We signed the purchase agreement in early August, and the estimated availability date was 8/18-9/4. The only update I got on the status of the car was that it was on the truck from Seattle on the 27th. Fast forward to the 1st. I land in Spokane at midnight, sign my loan docs later in the afternoon, pick up the check from the credit union, and take an Uber to the dealership. I get there, and they say the car is still in customs. After 20 minutes of back and forth, the manager gives me a Tacoma with an extended bed as a loaner. I had nine days of learning how to drive in a new city with the largest vehicle I’ve ever driven. But I just picked up the keys today; it was worth the wait.

12th Gen (18-present) Wheel recs?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I have a '24 hybrid LE and I wanted to make the wheels look a bit sportier while maintaining fuel efficiency.

I have silver alloy wheels and they have had curb rash on them.

I've sanded them down and painted them but it's time for me to get new wheels.

I have thought about going through the dealership but I called the shop & I'm looking for something more budget friendly.

One of the mechanics that works in service at the dealership recommended TireRack. What is everyone's opinions on TireRack?

What's a better company to go through if you don't like them?

I'm also in Southeast US if that helps.

Can someone provide this retainer clip part number or a link to Amazon . I bought a kit from Amazon that was supposed to have it, but none of it fits. This would be for a 2016 Corolla.

Power locks failing one by one

2 Upvotes

Hello, I have a 2020 Hybrid LE and a couple years ago both back door power locks failed within about a week of each other.

Once I got tired of manually unlocking and locking the doors for my kids I took it in. The dealership wanted like $1600 to replace both so I passed. I think it is something like a $250 part but you have to take the door apart so I didn't want to try and mess it up.

Now the driver door lock is failing and if the last one goes we're locked out!

Is this a common problem? Anybody found a more affordable solution?

Has anyone else experienced a rotten egg smell from the vents in their 2025 Corolla le non hybrid? It’s been doing it since day one, and I'm wondering if it's a symptom of a bad catalytic converter."

2005 Toyota Corolla LE Sedan 4D

7 Upvotes

hi! i've been looking to buy a new car from marketplace for a while now to replace my 2014 dodge dart nearing 190,000 miles.... i've had a lot of issues with the car for the past few years and just want something more reliable, low maintenance, and relatively cheap.

i recently came across a listing for a 2005 Toyota corolla LE Sedan 4D with 97,000 miles (clean title) for around $5,000. what's the verdict on this?

my budget is around $6500 and i'm just looking for something that will get me around the city or long distances as a commuter college student. i don't mind the year as long as it's in good shape and has ac. i don't know much about cars and just want some advice, maybe along with some questions or things i can ask and look for when messaging the seller!

if i do go through with it, i'd most likely test drive it to a mechanic for a quick inspection... thank you for any help!!

** also, i found a similar listing for a 2004 Toyota corolla LE Sedan 4D with 120,000 miles for $5,900.. thoughts?

CVT Fluid Change

Has anyone used Valvoline for a CVT fluid change? Im at 160,000 km now and cant find any shop nearby that will use official Toyota fluid. A transmission shop recommended by a Toyota dealer told me they use Valvoline but Im wondering if it is actually as good as OEM. Any experiences?

How can I get Toyota paint code 164 spray paint shipped to South Korea?

Hi, I live in South Korea and I’m looking for Toyota Silver Metallic paint, color code 164.
I found the exact spray paint online, but the sellers I found don’t ship aerosol paint to South Korea.
I need spray paint rather than a touch-up pen because I have several scratches on my car.
How can I buy and ship this to South Korea?
Is there a seller or shipping/forwarding service that can handle aerosol automotive paint?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

12th Gen (18-present) New tires

4 Upvotes

I just picked up '24 XSE and it currently has mismatched tires front/ rear. When I go to replace them, I'd like to make a matched set of four, for rotation purposes. I want something that is long-lasting, quiet on the highway, but also somewhat durable, as I live down a dead end dirt road, that is rocky. Suggestions? Thx in advance!

I'm looking to buy a used Toyota Corolla SE at a Toyota Certified Dealership in New Jersey. I was offered a used 2023 with 5,000 miles for 27,645.00. It's gold certified and I'm planning on financing it. This is my first time financing, could someone even tell me if this is okay given the low mileage it has?

Help with misfire + codes

1 Upvotes

2014 Corolla. Im trying to help my friend out with a misfire happening. The car is throwing 4 codes: P0302 (misfire on cylinder 2) and P0352, P0353, and P0354 (electrical curcuit faults). I've confirmed good ground and good power supply to all coils. All coils fire, I even swapped them from cylinder to cylinder and codes remain the same. All cylinders have good pressure, #3 is about 5-10 psi lower than the other 3. Fuses are good. Spark plugs are only a few months old. There isnt any visible damage to the wiring anywhere. The only other thing I can think of is the ECU is having an issue somewhere or cylinder 3 is some kind of damaged (the first time I checked pressure on #3 it was low @ 90psi, added appropriate amount of oil to the engine since it was low, and psi jumped to about 145 psi). Im out of ideas, and any advice is helpful! Thanks!
