    Most of us Probably have a "Recall" (CVT)

    I went to my Toyota dealer today 04/17/18 for free routine service, and I was told that the JOD was suspended last Friday 04/13/18. The manager told me that the "fix" isn't working and Toyota has put a temporary suspension on until they find a remedy to the problem and to be patient.

    Wax advice

    One step? I use meguiars in the red can or meguiars carnauba plus. I also use mothers cleaner wax. Mothers lasts longer, but is harder to get off. I've tried the so called exotic waxes like P21s, Pinnacle, and a few others. In my opinion they are dust magnets because they are full of oil...

    Most of us Probably have a "Recall" (CVT)

    I haven't been a fan of the CVT since I got my '17. I stated, when I joined the forum, I have no faith in them. Don't count on any kind of warranty extension because Corolla sells so well and has so many fanboys they don't have to. No matter how many recalls they can live off their rep for...

    What insurance do you have?

    I have had state farm for the last 30 years on my car, house, boat, and condo. I filed two claims for vandalism, they paid right away, no argument, and my rates didn't increase. I'm very satisfied with them, but keep in mind almost every state has different rates and rules.

    New Corolla (Auris Hybrid) - Geneva presentation

    The front still looks like a carp, but now it has braces. I'll save my final decision until I see the sedan in person. I hope they added colors other than more greys. Good job on the research Jolly

    New CVT CVT for tne new Corolla ?

    It would be nice if they put the 2.5 with a six speed in the Corolla. There was a lot of talk about a 1.5 turbo BMW mill in the '19s. I have never seen a car kept in secret as much as the next generation. That may be a very good sign. The next gen may be so fabulous that Toyota fears 2018s...

    Corolla gets #2 Consumer Reports Best Buy Rank

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Toyota make some Corollas back in the late '90 or early'00 with the Camry V6 in them?

    New CVT CVT for tne new Corolla ?

    Thanks for the links Jolly. I wonder if the 2.0 is a design/built BMW engine that the auto mags were talking about? Next car I'm going back to a manual and I'm glad one will still be available.

    Worst Case Scenarios for out 11th Gen Corollas

    I don't think you will go wrong with a Honda. My brother has been a fan for almost 40 years. ten different civics, preludes, and accords and all he ever changed was one front wheel bearing. All had sticks and all did over 80k trouble free. Very good looking cars too. These new turbochargers...

    Worst Case Scenarios for out 11th Gen Corollas

    I also kept some new cars until the end but all of those had a clutch in them. I have a CVT in my '17 and I just don't like it. It seems to lag when I try to pass. If all they offer is a CVT in '19 or '20 when I trade this will be my first and last corolla. I'll stay if they give me gears...

    2017 Corolla Service manual needed

    The ones that you buy at auto stores are also thin and worthless. The last three new cars I bought I was able to order a detailed service and repair manual at the parts department of the dealership. They were expensive and model specific, but returned the cost on my first DIY job. Also, the...

    What is this color called?

    This is the color on my '17 and I hate it. Toyota better get with it color wise. I think we are all getting tired of 50 shades of grey, at least I am. It only looks good in the showroom under lights or on a very sunny day with the little bit of blue tint shows.
