Re: Need Some accelleration mods/tunes/performance parts [jperkins]
I don't think the 1.8l from the current Corolla can. But in 2006 Corolla offered a XRS model that had a larger engine ( same one that was in the Celica GTS ). It was a 1.8l unit that was rated at 164 hp. It came with a six speed manual transmission. It was only offered in 2006 and discontinued because of lack of sales . Perhaps you can find one ...

Toyota Corolla Paint Problems

Re: 2003 owner [mcdawgg]
I have a 2006 dark blue Toyota Corolla and have a paint defect where the roof of my car is chipping off. My hood is starting to peel as well as the trunk of my car, and my side top of my doors are starting to fade.

Re: 2006 Toyota Corolla [terceltom]
Yes, perhaps I did misunderstand you. No, I did not use anything that would have done as much damage to my car, as of what I am dealing with right now. Through much investigation and research that I have done regarding my car issue, the bottom line is that with my car only 5 years old, I should not have the paint defects that I'm dealing with right now. As mentioned, ... Read More

Re: 2006 Toyota Corolla [orca6]
Perhaps you misunderstood me, clear coat is what the factory applied to the paint on your 2006, I was just wondering if something you used or have been using on your 2006 Corolla could have removed this clearcoat as some waxes, polishes, etc. might do.

Are you the first owner of your Corolla? Could you or a previous owner have used an abrasive compound that might have removed the clear coat finish?

Toyota does not reveal anything about the 2011's, but there will most probably be more than just "some minor cosmetic changes". We can be assured that they will improve the interior quality, improve steering feel, and some more issues that so many drivers are complaining about. As of now, the ... Read More

Re: 2010 Toyota Corolla ABS Issues [pekelvr]
Apparently the dealer found nothing wrong with your car or they repaired it. This is what dealers do, they sell traded cars or else auction them off. They don't offer you money for them and then junk them. Considering ESC was not prevalent in a smaller 2007/2008 car I think Toyota might have been ahead of the game in 2008 with ESC.

Re: 2006 Toyota Corolla 30K service [_sam]
See the owner's manual maintenance guide that came with your car. It will tell you what needs to be done and when. Basically, it gives you a mileage and a length of time, and you do whichever comes first. For example, it may tell you to change the oil at every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first.

Perhaps you should have listened to the Toyoa Technicians as there were many TSB reports issued concerning the Belt Tensioners on the 2000 up to 2006 Toyota Corollas. They should have offered to replace this $150 to $200 tensioner at no cost to you because of the warning of malfunction issued about your vehicle via the TSB..

If you want super reliability, durability, dependability, and quality Toyota is the right auto company for you. Toyota is not perfect. You will never have perfect 100% reliability with anything. But Toyota comes as close to perfection as you are going ... Read More

Re: Honda [stevecebu]
Steve - I've owned Hondas, Mazdas, Nissans, and Toyotas, but bought my wife a 2006 Hyundai Elantra. In the 20 months we've owned the Elantra, it's been perfectly reliable with absolutely no warranty issues since purchase. The same can't be said for any other new car we've owned, including the aforementioned Japanese cars as well as a few European cars. Our previous Honda Civic was in for warranty-related issues 5 times ... Read More

Tire monitoring system... false security....
I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla S with the ABS - tire monitoring system options. I recently had a flat on the expressway on my rear tire doing 70 mph. The only thing that lead me to believe I had an issue was a loud roaring noise like a wheel bearing was going out. I checked the dash for a light and there was none. When I pulled onto the side ...

Re: 2008 Corolla CE (AT) for $12,995 in Southern California [surejuju]
That's a great deal if it includes all dealer fees. There are so many ways to sneak in a few hundred bucks after the deal is set. I've seen base CE ads for $12,386 last year but that didn't include delivery or any 'fixed' dealer fees. [...everything is negotiable!] Buyers must shop for an OUT-THE-DOOR price that includes everything,trade-ins, destination, even taxes and tag agency fees. Great deals are only possible ... Read More

NEGOTIATE, folks! Corrola sales are through the floor
June 2006: Toyota, however, continued to gain ground in trucks, selling 4.8 percent more last month than in June 2005. But its biggest gains were in car sales, which climbed 21.9 percent. Jim Lentz, executive vice president of Toyota's U.S. division, pointed to a 38.7 percent increase in sales of the Toyota Corolla, one of the most fuel-efficient models, as evidence of the impact of gas prices. http://www.newsmax.com/money/archives/articles/2006/7/3/155713.cfm July 2007: Toyota ...

2007 Corolla LE
I just got through trading my 2006 LE with auto for an upgraded 2007 LE that also includes side airbags and anti-lock brakes. Toyota of Watertown, MA was offering 110% over Kelly Bluebook on trade-ins for late model Toyotas so they gave me $14,151 for my 2006 LE. I was skeptical when I went in that they would actually offer me this much for my car, but after some grumblings they ... Read More

Re: One Last Thing...Fierce Buyer Loyalty [eldaino]
Questionable build quality? Here's something to try: go look in Town Hall re the problems buyers are having with the 2006-7 Civic. Then go look in Town Hall re the problems with the 2007 Elantra. Big difference... and not in favor of the Civic. It's really simple why Honda and Toyota can charge more for their cars than Hyundai: brand equity. Toyota had a 30 year head start on Hyundai in ...

OK. Next time I see a 250 pound guy next to a 160 pound guy of the same height, I'll try to think to myself, "Oh, look, that guy has a greater volume than the other guy!"

Re: Help with Wind Noise 2006 Toyota Corolla [rolla04]
Well, I took the car in and explained the problem. They couldn't reproduce it, but they said they had a service bulletin out about the problem. They resealed the windshield and it's fixed now. (got 3 free oil changes out of it too because we dropped the car off and they called us back saying they didn't have the glue, but would have it the next day.) BONUS!

Re: 2006 2007 Toyota Corolla Front Seat Noise [bcorolla]
Did tightening the seat track bolts solve the problem? Did you have to use thread lock on the bolts to keep them tight? I recently purchased a 2003 Camry and then discovered the seat popping noise. I purchased it from a Honda dealer and am having a problem getting them to fix the problem. They thought it might be due to a worn track and were going to replace that until ... Read More

Re: Resale is almost solely demand-based [kenym]
This discussion is about the next Corolla, and I am quite interested in what Toyota comes up with since I'll be buying my next car next year. Thanks for confirming for us that, as I noted, safety features like ABS and side bags/curtains are optional on the Corolla. The issue is not cost (wrt the Civic)... the issue is, how easy/hard is it to find a car with those features? Really ... Read More

Re: Help with Wind Noise 2006 Toyota Corolla [discombobd]
I have an '04 S that had a similar problem. Check the fit of the front window gasket at the front corner of the window (That is, at the window frame angle right beside the top of the mirror mount). The gasket should fit in the "U" channel of the door frame precisely. If the corner looks rounded or if the gasket looks bunched up, uneven or is protruding on the ... Read More

toyota wheel balancing
I was looking at a used 2006 corolla. The tires had excessive wear on the outside. The guy at the lot told me that if you don't use toyota wheel weights when you get the tires balanced, it will lead to poor tire wear. Is there any truth to this?

My 2006 Corolla S does the same thing. The dealer could not dublicate the problem and they said it might be the outside mirror causing the whisling noise. But when on cold days it feels like a draft.

Re: Help with Wind Noise 2006 Toyota Corolla [dfwdraco76]
We also have this same problem. Usually it's at 70+ MPH but it's extrememly annoying. The radio barely drowns it out! My assumption is that when the right wind velocity blows into the vents a certain way it vibrates a semi-flimsy source causing the high frequency whirring. I knew that Toyota wouldn't be able to fix it, too. However, I bet the testers for Toyota are well aware of this glitch ... Read More

Re: Help with Wind Noise 2006 Toyota Corolla [jjame00]
have you gotten this whistling resolved? I just bought an '06 Corolla in January, and notice this on especially windy days. It's always when I'm on the highway (65mph+). I think if you turn the fan on (whether vent, a/c, whatever) it minimizes it slightly. But a "real" solution would be great. I just dread having to take it in and try to describe what it sounds like, and them not ... Read More

Re: Personally [alpha01]
Maybe one reason is that a February '08 launch for a 2008 model makes the car ineligible for the various 2008 car awards. So might as well call it a 2009. Launching mew models early in the year is pretty common these days. Toyota has done it, e.g. Camry and 2003 Corolla. DCX has done it, e.g. 2005 minivans. Hyundai has done it, e.g. 2006 Sonata.

Unfortunately you have to drive the thing. I test drove a 2006 Corolla and it was the worst car I have ever driven.

I fully expected a smooth nice handling car after reading press reviews and was shocked at ... Read More
