Hi guys, i just got this Corolla and i am looking forward to hear from other user experiences, advice and general topics on the car. i am really impressed with its fuel efficiency but not pleased with its poor engine power and bland interior.

grin grin grin @ the bolded...if you want to roll with Toyota, you have to endure the bolded. It's more or less an opportunity cost - better fuel economy but poor aesthetics. You decide!

You can't eat your cake and have it.
You like fuel economy yet you want it to be fast.
Buy a 2010 campy Se With 2Gr v6.
That will make you happy. The interior is also better than the corolla

I get the points risen. I just didnt expect d ride to b dis slow. I owned a matrix som years back, they share similar engines but it was alil bit snappier. I prefer d smaller form size of this to a Camry else i would hav settled for it.

You'll have to make do with what the car serves you so you get to enjoy it to its max. Feel 100% or sell to get a more power efficient car.

This is the only reason i don't use Toyota cars for private cars except for business.

Be ready to always change your shock absorbers. Please do not use dashboard spray except you want to see your dashboard crack like a village girl's feet during harmattan.

The dashboard is hard plastic (like Matrix) not like (Camry, Sienna and Solara). Honda makes better exteriors, i must say.

After seeing the price of the shock absorbers, i changed my driving style! Thank God the car still new, but be rest assured to be contacted because original oem parts no easy to come by, even with your money.

Pls if you can, what are the dissimilarities between US and SA Corolla"s?
