    How many miles did you go before the failure?

    Cabin Noise

    I had the window shades out on yesterday, if the sun shows itself today I'll post some pictures of it. Haven't had it on the highway to tell you if wind noise is reduced. Also on my 2014 it doesn't seem noisy or rattle to me unless I have it turned up.

    That's different

    Very interesting, never seen that. Almost reminds me of the Dodge Dart orange

    Smelly A/C

    Asked my dealer today about this and he said it's a bad design and to turn off the recirculate once awhile to allow fresh air to get rid of the condensation within the venting. I believe and earlier poster gave the same advice.

    Racing games

    Grew up on NFS like most people, with a bit of Gran Turismo sprinkled in there. I always appreciated the simulation aspect of gran turismo, but enjoyed the gas and crash of need for speed. Since forza 4 on Xbox that game takes the cake. The settings allow you to make it as easy (nfs) or as...

    What did you own/drive before getting your Corolla?

    Drove and still have a 1998 Chevy Silverado Z71. Thing is pretty trick for $310k miles with original engine, trans, and rear end. Done work to all 3 buts it's still great.

    Wiring in radar detector

    I have an older escort 8500 I had Best Buy do an install on my 2014 S Premium. The wire becomes visible at the center of the dash which is perfect for me. I'll have to post pics for you guys

    Oil Change - how often?

    Sorry to bump an old thread but to me it is still relevant. I bought my 2014 S premium used with 81k on it. My dealership gave me 2 years free oil changes and they gave me the 5k mile interval. However, had I bought their 3 yr extended dealer warranty I would have been forced into a 3k mile...

    Creaking noise lower control arm

    My 2014 Corolla S does the same at 84k miles. It's not even every bump or dip but it's a slight groan. Haven't asked the dealer since I bought used and outside of warranty

    You Went How Fast?!

    Had a world of fun with the girlfriends '11 tc on some empty highways in Nebraska. We didn't go over 120 I don't think, and the 115 top end of my '14 corolla s didn't seem too hard to get to, although I doubt the engine can go much past 125

    HIGHEST MILEAGE 11TH GEN.

    My salesman said Toyota brakes very very hard and lasted significantly longer than most, guess he was right. Do you drive a lot of highway?

    What type of gas are y'all putting in the tank?

    I've considered this however my only concern is the more volatile 91 octane with the factory compression rate. One tank should be fine for the results though

    HIGHEST MILEAGE 11TH GEN.

    Any odd noises so far? For me I'm specifically wondering about suspension noise or odd transmission behavior

    Radar detector

    I've used a mid level escort for the past 4 years and can say for a fact it has saved me from a few tickets. A few of you are definitely correct that it is far from a guarantee you won't get popped but it is more of a notice than a lot of other options. It's saved me at low speeds when I was...
