AWD is coming... in the Prius. Not the V6 and not what you meant, I know ;). But it looks like Toyota is finally bringing to NA what it has offered for years elsewhere (Corolla hybrid, Prius AWD. Hybrid AWD C-HR next ?).

7.9 qt (according to your owner manual)

And (finally!) the hybrid version might be available in NA<https://www.wheels.ca/news/2020-toyota-corolla-adds-dose-of-style-hybrid-model/

They don't need a long drive : they only need to reach 40 mph then coast to 0 so the computer can confirm the RPM curve is as expected. A longer distance is needed only if they need multiple trials to achieve the coast part safely (without braking) because driving environment. You shouldn't feel...

Those first problematic Jatco-Nissan did not have fake shift points. ;)

No, that's for North America (TrueDelta, Consumer Reports).

Actually, it's hiding an emergency unlock device if the trans doesn't unlock by itself. So it's only an emergency help and the car would need immediate professional expertise.

That description would apply more to Nissan or Subaru. CVTs are more and more common but manuals and regular AT are still in a number of models outside of the Corolla and the C-HR (imported directly from Europe). Hybrids also use a «CVT», but those are totally different beasts. Well in Canada...

Wow... L34 in Canada. An Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in the subject vehicles has improper programming that could lead a component in the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) to unnecessarily cycle and experience abnormal wear. If this component becomes damaged, the Malfunction Indicator...

Other markets have known CVTs for 60 years or so. It's new to NA (beside the marginal 1989 Subaru Justy). I'd say force of habit and lack of knowledge before «IQ». Plus, ans mentioned, the youth problems of the first mass-market implementations (GM-Fiat/Saturn, Nissan) resulted in a negative spin.

Then it's one of two things : 1. The problem is update related - The JSD campaign provide for replacement. Maybe they should have replaced the VBC-solenoid and didn't. Campaign specify that all the diagnostic data is sent to Toyota so you have a source. 2. The problem is not update related -...

They probably won't need to update a second time (it's the same update), but to peform the calibration/diagnostics that should have been performed the first time.

Updates are here : https://securedp.toyota.com/download-app/downloads But lets not be confused : those are updates for Entune app suite (no technician required), not the head unit's OS itself. For instance, you won't find anything there for units without navigation/apps. For the head unit's OS...

Noise, too hard or soft sidewalls, poor hydroplaning resistance, poor longevity... That being said, I've had "top" brands that were sometimes so-so and "cheap" brands that were sometimes great. Actually, cheap brands are often re-edition of yesterday's top brands that were once the "greatest"...

Canadian models have it. Not sure about US models.

Yes, compacts are bigger nowadays but the thing is they are more spacious and comfortable than subcompacts without costing much more and being as efficient in mpg, if not more in certain cases. The main advantages of subcompacts are their smaller size (if that makes a difference for want the...

Worrying solves nothing! ;) But if I had to worry, it would be about the dealer respecting the procedure.

I don't either most of the time but if you've really never ever encounter them that means either you have very (almost oddly) stable driving habits/conditions or... there was an issue in the first place. There is only one update, so indeed, it's the right one. An issue while downloading with...

I wouldn’t say it eliminates them (it doesn’t, and it’s not that I wouldn’t like it) but probably restore the way they are manage without the “premature wear” this update correct. The fact that you mention less jerking also point toward the fact that your trans really needed the update! In my...
