Depends on your speed : EPA estimates are at 60 mph... Expect around 15% less MPG per 10 mph over. Plus all the other factors mentioned above. Though at 70 mph, my LE Eco base ("plus" variant is less efficient) is till at 50, when EPA rating is at 42. The Valvematic in the Eco really shines on...

2015? 200K+? No long distance? My gosh... That certainly qualify for "special driving conditions" described in the manual. You don't specify which trans (6M? 4A? CVT?) nor how you know it's leaking (puddle? evaporation? car behavior?). Was the maintenance done according to the manual for such...

Only around 25,000 miles in those 30 months but nothing special to report beside oil changes every 5,000 miles. Dash sometimes rattle while cabin temperature change (from heating in very cold winter temp / AC in very hot summer temp) then stop when cabin temp stabilize. Just got a «free service...

Depends on a lot of factors : CVT (better), M6 (not so good), 4AT (worst), wheel size, correct air pressure in tires, type of gas, ethanol or not, temperature. Then there is driving : highway, city, gradual vs fast accelerations and decelerations, stable or constant variation (even slightly) on...

To my eye : no ! "Sport" and "fun" are not just a matter of a few more HP. For BRZ, Mustang etc, the whole car is engineered and designed with that purpose in mind. Not the Corolla. Unless you see it as a hobby

It does matter... Apple won't let you or your car send texts while driving. If you've got a 2016 Corolla, you can use Siri Eyes Free though.

Not that I care that much about it, but I do prefer the LE front vs the S. Less of a "jelly bean" shape.

Downhill : engine braking. Normal.

16" should fit a rim between 5.5 and 7.5 in width but you should check about your specific brand/specs of tire, which you don't mention.

Which bad reports ? In 5 years worldwide (3 in NA) no single tread/surge of complaints has appear. That's beside personal preferences (that's OK !). CVTs do sound different, as rpm are held instead of constantly going up and down. That's what some call whining, rubber bad effect, drone effect...

What's to compare ? Beside some family resemblance Toyota wisely gave to the Corolla, we're talking decent quality econobox front-wheel drive 132hp L4 vs Lexus quality rear-wheel drive 184hp V6. And twice the price...

It's not that new... 15 years of Toyota/Aisin CVTs, 5 years for the current unit in Corolla (albeit only 3 years in North America). There are haters, with ears trained to associate "power" (in a Corolla ?) with constant up/down rev (test numbers show the opposite). There are worried, and...

They had an after market unit and didn't care nor bother to reinstall correctly the OEM one before selling ?

Not an opinion but a fact (use it as you wilsh !) : the 2017 Corolla is going all red.

A big thank you for this great sharing ! As mentioned here and elsewhere, color isn't everything : like motor oil that doesn't remain sparkly and suddenly become dark and useless the morning of the day you reach 10K. The idea of an analysis is even greater ! Not sure how many of us would know...

I'm no mechanic, but basically you don't check the level of fluid as much as its condition. It's a special procedure involving some electronic tools. Toyota is not that clear about fluid change and you always get a fierce debate every time the question is asked, with answers varying from 10,000...

According to this diagram from a part seller, all of those answer !

Don't worry, those will probably be only available in higher end models or costly option packages. This availability is the only way to get the "+" from the IIHS. That's the irony of it : people would by a car because of this security mark but their unit is most often not equipped with what...

I doubt a swap would be that easy (not to mention cost of the unit). Though the shape may look similar, there are differences (thinner and longer thinner part to accommodate the bulkier bumper that climbs higher). Rear lights appear to be just all red except for the little white slot for reverse...

Has something to do with the unit rather than the firmware, since the firmware works fine in other units.
