New Corolla photos

[texkid]

As promised, I am posting photos of my new Corolla. They're not much since I am side-tracked with other stuff. But I'll post more when I get another chance.

Good thing Caveatispe isn't here to complain that my windshield washer fluid reservoir has a plastic dipstick :bellyroll: :bellyroll:

Can these windshield wiper arms be installed/fit on the Yaris? The blades seem to be the same size.

the new corollas are nice cars. my parents have one. must say i prefer driving my yaris tho :smile:.

That does look nice though, but i wouldn't give up my Yaris for it :wink:

[supmet]

It still amazes me that its possible to make a corolla weigh 2800 pounds.

[texkid]

I must confess. I do miss the Yaris. The Yaris is small, has a unique design, and was a rare one. Even my friend said the same thing. But, the Corolla has more power, a quieter ride, more parts/accessories are available, and some interior features that I really wanted in the Yaris (more leg room, telescope steering wheel, center console armrest/box).

Congrats on the new Corolla.

I am planning on a 3,500 mile road trip this summer and thinking about renting a Corolla with cruise control.

The yaris sedan comes with a center console armrest/box.. and the half second on the 1/4 mile can be made up for spending the price difference on mods :tongue:

I'm just giving you a hard time. I loved my corolla, I just love my yaris more.

I have a 09 Corolla its a nice car. Just ordered a Yaris Hb today. I have the best of both worlds now! I like the color you picked for yours.

[TinyGiant]

very nice.. they need a hatch corolla here in the states... that would probably get me to me to dump the yaris

The first time I saw that pic, I thought you had a giant domo looking out from your house! :laugh:

Nice looking Corolla... Looking forward to any mods?

[mario98c]

You need to drop it!! Buy lowering springs!!

isn't the matrix pretty much a hatch corolla?

[texkid]

If all goes perfectly (which rarely does) I might keep the Corolla and in the future be in the market for another Yaris or the iQ for commute. I know we're going to keep my wife's '02 Isuzu Rodeo when she plans on getting her Accord Coupe (sorry guys, she's just not into Toyota and we're going to marriage counseling for it :biggrin:)

I know this is going to sound corny, but I want to first get used to new dimensions and turn radius. Like the other day, I put the front lip way over the curb at a restaurant and was thankful it wasn't dropped or else I would be needing a new front end. :laugh:

If I knew that I would've changed my mind! LoL!

Its a smooth ride. Not saying that the Yaris isn't. Its just that more room to play with. But if I had to take a trip in the Yaris, I still wouldn't have any problems at all. Heck, I made a trip in the Yaris to Fort Worth and back in the same day and did not feel fatigued at all. Although, the passenger was getting on my nerves.

lol probably . i think the matrix is more like a wagon corolla vs a hatch'd corolla.. the matrix weights a little more i think.

[mario98c]

BTW Looks very nice that corolla! Enjoy it!

The one you're talking about is the Toyota Corolla RunX. Now, it is replaced with the Auris. As usual, it is only sold everywhere BUT United States. But it gets better, in Japan, they had a Auris "Tumi Edition" which is AWESOME!!


Below is the regular Auris

This is the "Tumi" which is the same exterior with a Netz badge but its the interior that Tumi designed

....and this is the interior

In case you haven't noticed, I love Tumi! They make awesome, overpriced leather briefcases and backpacks.

The Matrix is just based on the Corolla design

Good luck with the Corolla. You'll be back....... :laugh:

thats where its at!

Corolla S's are nice. I wouldn't mind one but I'd never get a non 'S'.

I love the new proportions of the latest Corolla. It's bigger but not too big. The last gen was too narrow for it's height but the new one's width is nicely proportional. It's turned into quite a refined little car. Almost un-Corolla-like.

But anyway,

Congrats!

[Thirty-Nine]

I hope you enjoy the car!

I looked at a 2010 Corolla for my friend, and we both ended up liking the Yaris a bit more. However, that's just my opinion. I hope it treats you well!

Its come to be a bit more Lexus IS250-ish. :biggrin:

What does suck that the Corolla and IS250 are so close, yet to so far is design similarity that you can't just grab a set of LED tail lights off a Lexus and put it on the Corolla. That is such a cock-block.
