Well, the 23rd of June will make 1 year since I rolled off the lot with my, then new, Corolla. And as I've posted b4, right from the git go my Corolla has NEVER gotten anywhere near the mileage claims Toyota makes. I've NEVER EVER, gotten even 300 miles to a tank!!! The absolute best I've been...

Cruise Control for new 2013 Corolla You only need the switch, stalk, lever or whatever they want to call it, and the cover. You can also purchase the "pig tail", or harness. Just take it to the dealer and let them install it. Since it's been a year next month, that I've had the car, I don't...

Does anyone know the weight of the Corolla 15" steel wheel? Can't get any info from Toyota. WOW! What a surprise that is! Sarcasm there! Want to see how much weight difference there is in a 17X7.5 alloy wheel. Thanks

Well when I left Hollywood Fl. on Sat. morning on my trip to Orland, gas was $3.73 and it cost me $37 to fill up. Used 7 gallons. When I left 2day, the girl I visited, let me use her Costo gas member ID, and it was only $3.44 in Orlando, and I put $24.85 in. My mpg up and back, keeping the car...

Hey everyone. Hope this doesn't get too long winded. 1st an update on the cruise control install. An absolute "piece of cake"! The entire time only took about 50 minutes, including the test drive. Watched the technician do the job. Don't even have to disconnect the battery. Air bag will not...

Well the cruise control is in, and it works exactly as intended. It really is extremely simple to do. I was in and out of the dealer in under 45 minutes. Got to the dealer at a little after 2 and was on my way back down I-95 by 2:50! And for those out there wanting to do it, have no fear, you...

Yes, that's very likely. So now all I can do is wait and see how it goes on Thursday. Like I said, I'll keep you posted.

No Scott, the wheels are by American Racing and are, and always have been, American made. They are, dimensionally, the same size as the wheels that are able to be ordered for the "S" Corolla as an option. That being...17X7.5, with the correct wheel offset. Anyway, that's gonna be down the line...

Sorry Scott, guess I wasn't as clear as I should've been, due to being a brain dead old guy! It's kinda a catch 22 thing. What Toyota did is to discontinue the "cruise control kit" that used to be available, and I believe it was because of some issues that Toyota had with acceleration problems...

What to install a set of American Racing Casino Silver/machined wheels, series AR383, on 17' on my Corolla. That is the same size that you can get as an option on the "S" model. Can get all 4 from a company called "Tires by Web" 800-576-1009, for $650, complete, and no shipping charges. So...

Hi Scott. I don't always get to get back right away. But do want you to know I appreciate your responses. Well I've got it set with the dealer to install my cruise on Thursday after work. And that means any time after 2pm for me. I have the correct parts for them to do the job. I order an ECM...

Good morning Scott. I had no idea they're such organizations. The dealership told me that since the contract was signed, it's a done deal, and I had no recourse. But I also know they're saying that to cover their ass. So I will look into the organizations you mentioned and see what can be done...

Hey good morning. Apparently everyone seems happy with their Corolla, whether it's new or a recently purchased used one. I just got my 2013 about 3 weeks ago. The different mileages that have been posted are very impressive. However, the car I sold to Carmax to come up with some of the down...

Dear Scott Ted and 2Toys. Thank you all for your invaluable input. I sincerely mean that. And Scott thank you for the detailed explanation. The insurance you speak of is, I believe, called "GAP". I asked Southeast Toyota Finance about that, as it added an extra $800 to the bill. Because my...

Cruise control for 2013 Corolla Hi Scott. Thanks for the reply. I wanted to do that, purchase one with cruise control, but the sales guy and the finance manager said it is part of a $1200 package that along with cruise, includes touch screen, navigation, bluetooth etc. Was not able to afford...
