    I'm thinking of trading my 2019 Honda LX sedan 6 speed manual for a 2020 Corolla sedan?

    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...

    Spark plugs change 192,000 kilometers

    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.

    There is a TV commercial that says a driving instructor put over 900,000 kilometers on his Corolla.

    How do I install new headlight bulb?

    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 also take it to Krown Rust Control every year. I hand wax the car two-three times a year. I change the oil every 5,000 miles. I take...
