Well, I have twice in my life locked the keys in the car with the motor running. Knowing the engine was going to keep running until I got it unlocked *did* make the problem seem worse. After the second time, I put a spare key in my wallet. No more problems after that - I locked the key in...

Just a guess, here, but I'd expect you'd need metric.

It sounds like this particular car seat is defective. My 2018 LE has nothing like this going on, I've never heard of it anywhere else.

That front grill is an improvement over the 2018 LE I have, which is even worse. Mine is just super fugly. But yes, in general, the "big mouth" look is fugly. Some dipshit trying to be "radical" and "different" came up with that shit.

Somebody on the other forum bought a low-mileage car and it was a complete nightmare for him. That car didn't just need repairs, it needed an exorcism.

Love the greater HP engine - I'm seriously envious of that, although practically speaking, I'm not having problems with what I have. Liking that the number of CVT shift points have been increased from 6 or 7 or whatever they are, to 10 - hoping they are much less noticeable. Hope they...

If you're referring to the way it seems to shift gears during hard accelration, like a normal automatic, with the tachometer going up and down, those are generally called "fake shift points". The normal function of just changing the ratio of input to output, via manual input or automatically, I...

Massive thread about vibrations in that range, various degrees, some claiming it's normal, others saying no. https://www.toyotanation.com/forum/377-corolla-11th-gen-sedan-2014-2019-scion-im-2016-2018/1637056-2018-cvt-car-dealer-driveline-shudder-toyota-trying-diagnose-update-new-tranny.html

Klebinek is right. SuperchargedMR2, have you ever gotten a blowjob while driving stick? I have, and it's really awkward.

Seems like it took them quite a while to get that CVT stuff right.

Transmission type?

Are those Nissan CVTs from recent years?

I would so love to be able to do this.

CVTs don't have gears. Also, can you give the source of those RPM numbers? I'd previously heard speculation that the update limited power/rpm at low speeds and/or at torque converter lockup. (Unless you are speaking of a separate update. other than J0D/JSD.)
