    A/C Takes a Bit to Get Cold

    I have a 2015 Eco and noticed the same thing, that the AC takes 2 or 3 minutes to start to blow cool air. However, once it gets going, I find it to be very effective and have to turn up the temperature so I don't get too cold!

    Could my 2012 Corolla CE manual be a 20 year car?

    William, If you take good care of the car and don't drive it like you stole it, I don't see any reason that you won't get 20 years out of it. However, even the best made car will cost some money in maintenence, repairs and replacement parts over a 20 year journey.... It will come down to...

    Corolla LE ECO

    OK... So Ive had my Corolla LE Eco for one month... I have put on almost 2,000 miles in the first month, which is exactly what I expected to be driving. I have a 100 mile a day round trip to work, so a 2,000 mile month is the norm. So far, I am averaging OVER 42mpg! How can you beat that...

    Corolla LE ECO

    I actually went for the base Eco, complete with the 15" steel rims with hub caps. The cost of a replacement P195/65 R15 is very low, contributing to the car's overall low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). The base Eco had all the equipment that I wanted. Don't get me wrong, the 16" alloys are...

    Corolla LE ECO

    Hey, Matthew, I wouldn't worry too much about the rear drum brakes, after all, the Corolla isn't a performance car, and the drums will help keep the cost of repairs lower. Part of the appeal of the Corolla is its very low total cost of ownership, not just great gas mileage.

    Which Car Did You Come From?

    2004 Volvo S80 T-6. It was a rolling money pit, one thing after another! Plus, I drive about 2,000 miles each month, so the 25mpg on premium unleaded (gotta love those older twin turbo engines!) was no joy. Went with a 2015 Corolla Eco. Averaging over 43mpg so far and love the car!

    Corolla LE ECO

    I picked up a 2015 Corolla LE Eco 3 weeks ago. I've put on over 1,600 miles in 3 weeks, averaging a little over 43mpg so far. I got the car on a zero down lease for $138 per month. Compared to the car I was driving before, I am saving almost enough in fuel costs to offset the cost of the...
