Part of what you describe sound like "limp mode", a program in which the car enter to prevent damage from a mechanical problem (but it's not the problem itself). It may or may not be related to the CVT, so they'll have to check what it is first. But you also mention "shift to N while driving"...

To be precise, it’s not “more issues” in all CVTs but issues when the new software was coming too late for some units that had already suffer the damage it was supposed to prevent. So the service campaign (not a recall, as you correctly mentioned) was modify to include repair/replacement for those.

Chec engine light (CEL) may have a lot of causes from a simple untight gas cap or bad gas to more serious conditions. Traction control and cruise control off are often automatically associated but not necessarily related. You'd need to find what code, if any, the car computer is giving (via your...

With Entune 2.0 there would be a delay from the moment the first song start and the moment control is available (as the system have to make an "inventory" of the drive), which maybe from 1 to several minutes, depending. If you don't get control after that, then yes, it's a problem.

Not sure if it's that simple ( See here ) . Worth it ? Indeed not the only criteria but a fun fact is that C&D once tested a Mazda3 (discs), a Corolla "S" (discs), and a Corolla "LE" (drums). Guess which had the shortestt 70-0... Clue : it didn't have discs !

It's here ! It's here ! ;)

Hard to say. 10-15 years is a huge period of time technologically. Think that 15 years ago, assisted GPS (with 10 feet precision) was a novelty, Google Maps had just been created, there was no iPhone and Netflix was a by mail DVD rental company... In the next years, 5G implementation promise...

As far as fitting, some exist. But as far as quality and real functional compatibility I wouldn't dare to say but I wouldn't bet... with descriptions like: "Carplay USB Dongle: Compatible with IOS and Android mobile phone"...

By the way some here swear by "pedal commander". I have no personal knowledge about it but here is a link to a thread. http://www.corollaforum.com/threads/pedal-commander-throttle-controller.5960/

Don't worry... it's still a Corolla, far from a sport car despite the "S" in name ;) As I said, beside equipment there is no fundamental difference between LE, SE, XLE XSE but it's true that 17'' wheels make for firmer ride (with less mpg) vs 16'' or 15''. They still are "normal" tires though...

Great. As we say, sometimes the devil is in the details !

HU = Head Unit (the radio itself). So from that, it’s part buyer remorse, part unpleasant experience. Leather (vinyl actually), push-button start, “sporty” tires are reasons why people order an XLE/XSE in the first place ! The cruise control, with a lot of engine braking, would be the same, and...

Anything can be done including this. You’d need to add satellite and gps antenna modules though. But the main problem would be that HU is VIN linked. Though you can easily “pretend” and use your former VIN in your new car, it might potentially be problematic for the person getting your old car...

Not a direct answer but I'd say it depends as much on your driving preference/style than the car itself. Coming from an Ecotec 2.4 (175HP) to this Corolla's Valvematic 1.8 (140HP), I sure felt a difference but nothing that spectacularly bothered me in everyday driving or make me felt "unsafe"...

... or be an occasion for interesting conversations with your family members or for discovering local radios on the road! ;) More seriously, I don't get it. If the new Entune is like the former one (that's in my 11th gen), maybe it just need a long time to recognize and make an inventory of...

That’s a possibility: both thumb drive and SSD portable have the same type of memory (flash) but portable might have multi-level cell / controller (vs single for thumb drive). Since the latter is cheaper yet more than sufficient for music file reading and now exist in larger format, and we...

Toyota doesn’t mention a size limitation (though larger ones may slow the system) beside a max of 9,999 files, 3,000 folders and 255 files per folders. Work only with FAT format (some portable drive are NTFS). Also be sure that your portable device is SSD (flash) lie a USB key, not HDD like a...

Not necessarily. The surface remains the same and the grille is partially fake (not open). The rest depends on aero design. The 2020 with the same 1.8 as 2019 actually get better mpg.

Basically new headlights, bumper cover itself and the grills, and some wiring work as they have different features. http://www.corollaforum.com/threads/my-2014-s-with-2017-se-front-swap.7083/

I don't think it's the case with this service campaign. At least none of the documentation I got online or by mail mentioned a limit date.
