How do you know that I'm not a grammar teacher? :smartass: There's 37 pages of helpful advice in the thread (some of which you have taken) - including replies 363 and 366. If you don't want to use proper grammar in the forum - that is your choice (or not), but it makes it harder to help you...

Used underlines since the forum doesn't have a strike-thru. As Corolla Cop, said - it's an internet forum - I don't really care about grammar that much here - but if you are dealing with attorneys and correspondence with dealerships it does reflect on you and influence their opinion of you and...

There is a difference between the CVT and the Automatic Transmission. I agree - no real harm in changing a traditional CVT fluid every 30K miles - although it's probably overkill on a modern Auto Trans. On the CVT, you have to be sure the shop uses the correct fluid and knows what they are...

I'd wait and see what Kev250R comes back with. I've used them in the past, but I'm not sure which ones are good and which are bad - other than reading online reviews which are often hit or miss.

There are definitely downsides to the way things are worded. I was on another forum and it was HIGHLY recommended to replace brake fluid every three years or so to prevent water intrusion (brake fluid can absorb water and your brakes won't work as well - aside from corroding the expensive ABS...

There is NO WAY a jump box weighs 80 pounds - five pounds seems a bit light, but I would guess well under 15 lbs for average. It's expensive compared to jumper cables (well, not that expensive if you have to buy quality jumper cables anyway, but most people probably have a set already), and...

The biggest factor here is the automotive review magazines (consumer reports, Car and Driver, Edmunds). For example, if it costs $100 to replace the brake fluid and Toyota says to change it every 3-years, that's a $100 strike against their cost-of-ownership comparison. If they say inspect...

Yes and no ... It's really no more dangerous than it would be with any other car or you 96 truck. The difference is in the truck, your biggest risk was possibly frying a $5 ballast resistor. In the Corolla, you risk frying several $1500 ECM/PCM/BCM computer modules. It's highly unlikely, but...

Running 80 psi to match the sidewall max on a K3500 is acceptable. Running 60 psi on 41 psi max tires to save a few MPG is not. (Not the issue on this forum, but ...)

Generally, I agree with Little Rebel, but ... Turning off the engine is a hypermiling technique - there are a few cars that do this automatically (they don't shut down the engine, but they turn off fuel to the injectors). Not worth it to me to save at most 1-2 MPG. (It's generally done while...

Cold start, or with the AC on, that could be normal - but I'm not familiar enough with the Corolla specifically to say.

I disagree and think you can go wrong following the recommended tire pressure. As we said in another thread - some tires like fairly high pressure and some don't. I would run the tires at 32 (per the placard I think) and get a tread depth gauge and check the treads after about a month. If the...

Bienvenue, au revoir That could be cool !!! (Might be a pain figuring out what AVG MPG meant in French, though ...)

Nothing wrong with that and a lot of it I agree with. It's the $500 for the JBL post that bothers me. (I test drove the Dodge Dart previously and thought the stock audio sounded weak and the $500 Alpine system sounded pretty decent - until I got back in my Focus and realized my $150 JVC head...

In theory I like the LE ECO - why wouldn't you want the most MPG you can get. (There are some differences in paint also - the white metallic is only available on the LE ECO (for additional cost) - OTOH, Barcelona Red, Classic Silver, Super White, and Black Sand Mica are available on the LE...
