I traded back in February 2020 my 2012 Corolla CE 5 speed manual for a new 2019 Honda LX sedan 6 speed manual. I thought my Corolla had a much better ride than the Honda. The Toyota got better gas mileage too. In fact I liked everything better with the Toyota except the air conditioning compared...

I've thought about trading for the 2020 Corolla L 6M, but I think I'll hang onto mine. It has 186,000 kilometers but still runs like when it was new.

I hardly ever see 2012 Corollas on Toyota dealer web sites. Are people hanging on to them?

In a few months, my owner's manual recommends that I change the spark plugs at 192,000 kilometers for my 2012 Corolla. Could I do this job myself, or should I take my Corolla to the dealer or mechanic? If I take it to the dealer what would they charge me? Thank you.

When you said my engine was barely broken in at 175,000 kilometers, I felt I wanted to put in a new clutch. Thank you.

The parts of the clutch cost $371, and there was 8 hours labor at a cost of $825. I don't know what kind of clutch it is. I got over 7 years with the original clutch mostly city driving and not much highway.

I had the clutch replaced yesterday in my 2012 Corolla 5-speed manual, and they put in a new throw bearing. It cost me $1,356 taxes included in Canadian funds. The clutch now is light to push and quiet. I'd like to keep my car for many more years.

Does 175,000 kilometers sound about the right mileage for needing a new clutch?

I have 175,000 kilometers on my 2012 Corolla now which I bought new. I need a new clutch now. It'll cost about $1,500 Canadian for the job. I really like the car. I have the car rust proofed every year so the body and frame are excellent. Nothing has gone wrong with the car, just maintenance. Is...

Thank you for the information. All I've had to do so far is regular oil and filter, brakes ( I had someone else install ceramic.), cabin air filters, and the coolant was just done at 159,000 kilometers on my 2012 Corolla. I'll need new spark plugs at 192,000 kilometers. I mentioned I go to Krown...

There is a TV commercial that says a driving instructor put over 900,000 kilometers on his Corolla. I know someone who worked in the Cambridge Toyota plant, and he told me I could keep my car as long as I want. Somebody else told me his friend who drives taxi with a Corolla and has over 800,000...

I notice my gas mileage isn't as good. I changed the air filter at 75,000 kms. What else could cause poorer gas mileage? Thanks.

It doesn't need a coolant change until 160,000 kilometers. The spark plugs are good until 192,000 kilometers. My tires and brakes are good. What things should come up now? Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. I bought the headlamp bulb today from the dealer and installed myself. They charged me $24.86 Canadian tax inc. for the bulb. The dealer wanted $25 to install.

I have a 2012 Corolla. My driver's side headlight just burned out at 148,000 kilometers. Would the dealer install the bulb for free? I also just had a damaged blade wiper, and one of the kids who worked there installed it for me for free, but maybe I just got lucky because I didn't drive the car...

I was wondering why you don't use the recommended 0W-20? I know though I'm paying top $ for the 0W-20. Thank you.

I think one of the mechanics muffed up where I take car. Thanks for the tip about changing my own oil. Maybe I could buy a couple of wheel ramps and do it myself.

You are right that I should check oil more often. Maybe they made a mistake not putting enough oil in last change at garage?:(

Just before I had the oil changed a couple of days ago, I checked the oil dip stick, and it was bone dry. I change the oil every 5,000 miles. I have a 2012 Corolla with 75,000 miles. My mechanic told me imports burn oil at this mileage. I've never had the rpm over 4,500 rpm. Just a couple of...
