It's not the cruise itself, it's about not maintaining a same speed for a long period. City driving kind of compensate unless you've been on cruise, at the same single speed, for 340 of those 350 miles !

Didn't realize you're from Canada. Then you're doomed :).

No reason to be upset : the 2017 Corolla SE is available with both push to start and manual transmission.

I do agree. It must fit, but there is one difference around the logo : circular for S, squarish for LE which could means Depending on option packages, LE may come with fog lights also.

Actually no tire would cut through ice. Its the weight equation (more weight per square inch) that help the thread do its job. If there is one foot of snow you might indeed be in the category I mentioned : wanting to float on it. (And I for one would certainly not expect taking the road with a...

Think of snowshoes : the wider path allows a person to "float" on snow. Great for a human, not so great for a car even on icy vs snowy conditions, where the weight/sq.in. equation also comes in play. Remember the good old days of propulsion, when people would put weight - sand, cinder blocks -...

To "cut" through snow and get more traction (having more pressure per square inch, since the contact area is smaller for the same car weight). And, marginally, higher sidewall before the snow reach the wheel itself.

Also worth mentioning that our Corollas are equipped with seat cushion airbags. Might affect to way to do the modification and the way they work after it.

195/60 are 25.2" in diameter vs 24.9" for 205/55. A very small difference of 0.3" that might affect speedometer very slightly and nothing else. Plus it's always wise to go narrower fot snow.

2014 LE Eco rattle only when cabin changes temperature (from heating cold winter or cooling in hot summer). Once temp is stabilize, nothing.

But she had hers, and it apparently unlock the doors... I've had two GMs, both with the "passlock" issue. Granted they were remote with keys (not push button start) but the scenario randomly repeated itself from time to time. You would unlock the doors, put the key in ignition, turn the key...

Civic is kind of the "default choice" in Canada but back in 2013 (2014 MY), I didn't went Civic VS Corolla for various reasons (price/equipment ratio, noise, interior space) but mostly because 2 of my friends had need a low mileage transmission replacement with them. Then a bunch of their new...

Unlikely. Those fob aren't that intelligent to distinct between his and hers (they wouldn't even make the difference between a fob and a hacker computer). Plus the fob did work, since it already had allow them in the car. Either some misstep in starting procedure or pre-existing electrical...

JDM 4WD Prius : might be here soon in another form : C-HR

I suggest your fusion both your thread to get better answers, since they are on the same subject : behavior of the car when you lock/unlock it. In your "sound" thread, you mention the horn coming on instead of the "beep" on other Corollas. In this "visual" thread, you mention the headlights...

I'm confused. You mean the L uses the horn ? I was under the impression that all Japanese brands had gone "micro-wave" electronic beep years ago. Maybe it's related to having or not a remote key fob or aftermarket alarm ? Anyway, the "beep" could at least be deactivated :

The L version has a different "beep" sound than others ? Anyway, on other versions, the volume can be set via the touchscreen, so I guess you don't have much option with L.

The description of the video says "If your car is skidding or gets stuck in snow" and "Use this method only in emergency !". It doesn't mention commuting and even if it did, I wouldn't trust it. I should have said "winter" tires... some are for snow, some for ice, some for both. All have softer...

Solution ? Avoid doing what he is doing at the beginning of the video : spinning the wheels. Emergency hack ? Yes, but a handful of sand, an old carpet or dedicated "traction aid" would also work if stuck on an icy patch. Driving a distance on snowy or icy roads might be another story, if only...

7K is way over the top. You'll find 100150 units for around $400 on E-Bay. Unless they don't know where the electrical problem come from and expect having to search for it all over the car. But even then...
