So what if they put a V6 in the rolla. It's probably not as fun as hitting lift. eh?

No but it would be fun giving Falcons and Commodores a power/weight ratio lesson.

Japan has dropped the ball in the hot-hatch/affordable performance stakes...

Mazda 3 MPS??? $45,000 for a FWD.... Get real...

The new WRX will come as a hatch but will be around that sort of price too. That's getting near Evo money :spiteful:

V6? AWD? Corolla kerb weight?

Sign me up!

Just make sure it doesn' have that *** awful tartan interior like the Golf GTi.

Leather for mine please..... and would it kill them to offer a sunroof???

Oh and Jimmy is right. 45k for a Mazda 3 MPS thats rev limited in the first two gears? I haven't driven one but sounds like a torque steered nightmare.

I'd take a WRX for 45k anyday.

Dont dismiss the 3mps, they seem to do great lap times at winton and it's a direct competitor to a Golf GTi so the price is right I suppose.

We are yet to see any nicely done or hot versions of the new Corolla. And 16" wheels and 4x4 suspension never win over a young market. So someone do one up already so we can see how they can really look :rolleyes: :P

I wasn't a great fan of the look of the zze122 front end, but I still bought one anyway. Also remember, this new model will be much improved in its refinement and the way it drives, so the truth on wether or not if it is a good car will be in the drive.

as it stands now, it looks like a big echo. I can definitely see potential in the looks department. Common guys, how many ppl first saw the Sportivo and thought, "Hmmm. needs lowering, headlights look goofy, grill looks cheap"...etc?

the fact the car looks like "a physically challenged hampster" ust means that there will be more options to customise the looks.

Now if only TRD Australia would get on the ball and make parts more readily available.

When the ZZE123 Sportivos came out you could win one on the cricket classic catches competition where you sms or phone in for the chance to win the Toyota... I thought it looked pretty good but Mark Taylor etc were like "I've driven it and it's a quick little thing" and I was like HAHA sure thing Tubs...

Have seen a few on the streets now and I reckon it looks more like a big sister of the Yaris. Yes, a sister. Any exterior mods added to it would just make it look dyke-y.

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
