Typo. Should have been "more rear seat legroom" . It's actually several inches more than the Sable ! I have been doing the service "by the book" and by appointment. Usually in and out in an hour or so - including cleaning inside and washing outside. They also did the Blue Tooth hook-up on the...

I have a 2014 LE Plus, bought new May 2014. Impressed with room (especially reseat leg room) and qiuetness cruising at 60-65 MPH. Everything seems a lot nicer and more comfortable than previous mid-size Mercury Sable. Luggage specs smaller than Sable but actual seems about the same. Only comment...

I am admiittedly a very conservative (Transation: Fuddy-Duddy...LOL) driver, but I have no complaints with the CVT on my 2014 LE Plus. Been on vacation trips from Texas to California and Florida. Impressed on how smooth and quite cruising on the Interstates at 65 MPH has been. Averaging 30...

Here are my latest "fill up" figures. "MPG" reading = 30.1 MPG "Trip A" reading = 131.4 Miles Fuel to fill up = 4.677 (from receipt printout from pump) @ $1.729 per gallon = $8.09 Computed MPG = 28.08 MPG About 1/3 is freeway driving @ 60 MPH ; 2/3 is stop and go street driving @ 30 to...

I'm new to the forum, new to Toyota. Bought my 2014 Le PLus last year and have been to both the Atlantic Coast at Fort Lauderdale , Florida and the Pacific Coast at San Diego, California from Texas and so far very much impressed compared to previous cars. Good to hear of your changes, but I am...

I'm a bit short on the technical end. What is the advantage ? I'm not planning any changes- I'm satisfied with things as they are, but I'm just curious what this is and what it does ? Is this in reference to the stock 1.8 Liter engine. Incidentally I'm a Snow White Le Plus fanatic.:)

I'm in Texas also. I don't have a sunroof but I do leave the windows down. Crack open maybe 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch. I do notice a slight delay of a few seconds when set on "auto." Seems to start cooling quicker when not on "auto." 2014 LE Plus. Seems to cool down comfortably after driving only a...

Here are some recent checks on the "Miles Per Gallon" readings comparing the instrument panel readout for "Average Miles Per Gallon" on the "MPG" reading -vs- manually computing by the old methods of miles between fill-ups on the trip odometer divided by number of gallons shown on the gas pump...

Just a note to visitors to DFW airport. Gas prices on the airport are 50 cents per gallon higher than stations less than a mile away off the airport. Probably true at most airports, too. Intended to comment on last post but it timed out. Previously car was a 2000 Mercury Sable LS Premium...

I live in the Dallas area and have always used just about all the major brands including Chevron. I have gone from 20 MPG city driving/30 MPG highway on the previous car to 30 MPG/40 MPG on the Corolla and with gas prices nearing the $2 mark I'm not complaining. LOL. I have noticed that some...

I have a 2014 LE Plus and have never noticed this. I usually listen for unusual noises and may have never noticed this. Main thing I have noticed is how quiet the engine is when stopped for a red light and idling. When I first got the car I had to keep glancing at the tachometer to be sure the...

I purchased the LE Plus a year ago and have since made trips from Texas to California last year and to Florida this year. Have found it to be one of the best road cars I have ever owned. Also seems very quiet and smooth cruising the Interstates at 65 to 70 MPH. Gas mileage checks out fairly...

I have noticed there is a slight delay when the AC is set on "Auto" . We have had some "100 Degree Days" lately but other than that seems to start cooling quickly . I usually have it set on 76 degrees for cooling in the summer and heating in the winter.

Update: Just did another check. Dash reading was 29.8 MPG. Actual computation came out to 28.9 MPG. I usually get at least 30 MPG but this was stop and go traffic and a lot of that were short trips to grocery store etc.

I discovered the same thing on a trip to California. If you have the car in cruise control the RPM will go up on a long downhill. If you just tap the brake to get out of cruise control RPM will return to normal lower RPM. I first noted this on the long downhill going west on I-40 near Williams...

Is there any way the computer can be adjusted ? By the dealer's service department ?

I went from Texas to San Diego last year and was driving fairly constant cruising at 65 MPH and I was getting a fairly constant 40 MPG. Just got back from a trip from Texas to Fort Lauderdale and the checks were the same. I did some parts of the trip cruising at 70 MPH but didn't notice much...

I'm going to do a bit of more closely checking but I would say the computer MPG readings are 5% to 10% high.
