Nice purchase on the 6-speed. It must be rare to see manuals around from Toyota. I might have to convince my wife to pick up the hatchback version in a few years...

This Friday I'm getting the 3M headlight film installed on the new girl to protect them from hazing/pitting out here in the brutal Arizona climate (like most cars around here seem to have issues with). I had the same film put on my 2015 Yaris hatch 4 years ago & it kept the headlights looking flawlessly new/clear.
I am also getting a tinted strip installed on the upper front inside windshield to complete the tinting package for the car (it came with SunTek CXP tint already installed by dealer on side/rear windows - which was one of the added items that I effectively received for free at the price that I paid for car). Another project that I am considering having done is a small custom vinyl mod to the gaping black front SE sedan grill/housing area, where paint matching 'super-white' gloss vinyl is strategically fitted/cut to the smooth black area between grill & accent light housings, to break up the extended black horizontal interconnected grill/housing styling look & give it more of a traditional & customized look.

Out of curiosity, have you had a chance to drive a MK2? Since we didn't get them here in the states, I've never driven a MK1 and would really like to. Also, when are we going to see pics of the new hotness? |

![]() I can see how adaptive cruise control would be useful, especially if you do road trips or have special medical/age considerations. I haven't done a road trip since I moved to AZ in 2010, so I never used the regular cruise control in my 2015 Yaris SE, except to test it once when I first bought car. ![]()

I finally took my car in today for some protective & preventative mods, plus the one playful mod that I wanted to try. I ended up doing more than I originally planned, since I plan to keep this car for some time, & wanted to get it protected from the harsh Southern Arizona environment & such as much as possible. Only the release of an authentic Toyota TNGA Yaris hatchback in the U.S. will tempt me away from this girl.
![]() (1) Tinted FULL front inside windshield with 3M Crystalline grade 70% tint. This stuff blocks the incoming windshield heat & UV to such a degree that my automatic climate control system has the fan blowing on low settings at 110+ degree temperatures outside. It is barely darker than clear & outside visibility is unchanged. (2) Had a 3M clear bra put on headlights to protect them from ever hazing/pitting/scratching or otherwise not looking clear & new. I had this on my 2015 Yaris, & was very happy with the performance of it. It has a 10 year warranty to not discolor or otherwise degrade in any noticeable way. (3) Had the "full frontal" Suntek Ultra Paint Protection UV/Scratch/Chip film package applied, which covers the full hood, side mirrors, & front bumper painted areas. It also has a 10 year warranty to not discolor or otherwise degrade in any noticeable way. It really is invisible unless you are actively looking for it on the car. ![]() (4) Decided to try the surgical front 3M vinyl wrap experiment that I mentioned in other posts, to break up the long horizontal front dark-gray grill/housing area of the SE/XSE sedan - & the results if you get in real close in-person, actually look like a factory feature of the front grill. ![]() NOTE: The side & rear windows were already tinted by dealership with Suntek CXP tint, so I am sticking with that. Anyway, here is the first quickie 'rough' pic of my new Corolla SE 6-Spd Manual Sedan below. The car hasn't been washed since I purchased it, & has also gone through a day or so of some rain. I still haven't received my new license yet, so I don't have that or the powder-white matte frame securely installed yet back there. I plan to do my first hand wash/detail/wax either next weekend or weekend after that. This sedan really does look a lot better in-person than in cellphone pics. ![]() ![]()

Yeah, I have a feeling that all of the extra sensors & such in these newer cars are going to need some expensive repairs if they are kept longer than 5-6 years. I see a lot of problem used cars on the market in that regards down the road some.

In my opinion the adaptive cruise control is unnecessary for the average driver. Safety begins and ends in your head. Idiots will find away To defeat any safety equipment.

Here is a pic of the modified front fascia of the car after the small vinyl grill/housing project idea was installed yesterday.
Should I stick with 'SE Red' up front, or switch it to a white that closely matches the color of the paint? ![]()

One interesting thing about the new Corolla is the hood rod. It’s all contained in the hood. The socket you put the end of it in is in the fender!

I knew YOU would say white (we tend to have similar tastes for a lot of things I noticed).

Hehehe problem solved Kalispel got a 6-speed... you would have felt miserable driving an auto before it is imposed on you by xyz conditions: traffic, loved one, old age or whatever. I like red... white would break apart the grille creating Civic-like fake air scoops
