Hmm thanks well ive noticed manual ones but no auto's..... and ive see them in the 5k mark......

WTF? Ahh they only came in manual and 5k is hell steep. Either your looking at a worked Gen 3 motor which came out of the ST205's or the people are just ripping you off like no tommorow.

Expect to pay 2k - 2.5k for a Gen 2 3S-GTE but I suggest you take someone, who is very mechanically minded, to inspect the engine/halfcut with you as these engines are very tempermental and I hope that you dont buy a lemon.

Goodluck

Whoa... no need for any name calling, no argument starting here... these cars are great in a manual version... when you start driving manual you'll love it!

^^ WHOA ,POWER TRIP MUCH??!?

Anyhoo i told my missus that the only cars we'll be getting will be manual transmission. I schitt you not but the main reason for this is because just in case of an emergency and the only car available is manual she would be able to drive it.

Think like in scary movies and you see the chicks when they escape the bad guy and they drive a column shifter....

Now imagine if you were in that situation and the only automobile was manual? What could you do then?

I would encourage you to take the time and learn manual but goodluck with it.

BKS didn't know that. So ease up on the cordial darling...

Now on a serious note... If you are scared with a manual then I think the 3S-GTE will be far too much power for you to handle then.

Better idea maybe in your case to save cash and purchase an Aristo, Chaser, or Supra... :)

sorry for snapping, ive been having a very stressfull month.... look i know how to drive a manual, im just not confident in one so....

Only way to get more confident is to drive it....I managed to teach my g/f how to drive manual (at a bearable level) in only a couple of weeks. After that, it comes down more to the individual car than the driver, some people who only drive one manual car their entire life can hope into another one and be completely hopeless, nothing beats practice and varied experience. The clutch + gearbox feel in my 102 is completely different to my AE82 (even though it's the same gearbox), and both are again completely different to my parent's SXV20 Camry and Mazda2.

Mate - go buy yourself a stupid Ford Laser for $100 with 1 week rego, manual ofcourse. I guarantee if you put a fulltank in that and drive it for a whole day, you'll learn the stick.

Im sure you already know where the gears are, im sure you know how to let go of a clutch, and im pretty sure you DONT know the right time to downshift, so practise with 1 full tank and you'll be cheering! You will be amazed at the things you can accomplish when you really set your mind to it.

who cares if his drivin an auto seriously i mean the fastest cars in the world are tecniqually autos so wats the difference if he wats a more powerful corolla auto maybe he also wants to make a bit of a drag car out of it best drag cars are auto and i know a corolla will never be a 6sec rocket but if he has an auto he could do cosistant numbers and with the wright engine trans and suspension package any where from 12-high 9's is achiveable in a front driver

ps go for a 4AGE 20v and turbo it it flows like a 2.0L and the conversion will be much easier then a 3sgte im talking 2 engine mounts front of motor and end of trans only no cuting or bashing required

Pretty much. It's her choice if she wants to.

I agree to the advice from Silly-Karr though. That's the exact same advice my old man gave to my sister. I was always going to learn manual, so I just had to hear him try and convince her to get an manual licence. Seriously, it is a good skill to have and barely takes any extra to get it. At least you will have a manual licence for when it's needed and you can go and drive an auto all you want.

I learnt to drive manual in a 1985 beat up Suzuki Swift. My Dad's words were "if you can drive this POS, you can drive a newer car easily". Since I got my P's, I've owned an auto Camry and now Aurion. It's just handy to have the skill there if needed.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!

      How to delete bluetooth device?

      I have a Yaris and had a similar issue. I just submitted a similar query to GPT. The response was to go into settings, view paired devices, select the device to remove, and confirm the removal. It helped me; I couldn't find the answer on the internet, but I found it there.

      Transmission U660e

      @campbeam much appreciated, very interesting, it’s got me buggered as on the Toyota Estima groups everyone is quoting 1.6 litres cold for a drain and drop, now, these run the exact same drivetrain as the Aurion 2GR-FE and U660E combo, so in theory all figures should line up, I’m hedging my bets on your maths and techniques though, you seem well versed…. thanks again

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      My wife is looking at purchasing a new 2024 C-HR Hybrid. Does anyone with one of these know whether the doors lock automatically when driving off? Her 2018 C-HR doesn't do this which is annoying as my 11 year old Kia Sportage does.
