isnt the non sports just like the base model or lower model? sportivo is the same car just with a different engine, skirts, lips and extras

thats what im thinking unless facelift is different length and hes ordered pre-facelift for those cars but i doubt it very much. cant see why he would say that unless he was very sure, its not like a dealer to not want u to buy some thing....

LOL @ above!

Yeah, it will fit facelift or prefacelift. No difference in length

I find that alot of the time the guys who work in the parts department, have very limited knowledge about their Toyota vehicles and parts..

E.g. I once called up the parts dept (won't say which one), asked for a quote for a 05 Sportivo front skirt. The guy told me to hold up, and I could hear him in the background asking someone else, "Hey, did the Corolla ever come in a Sportivo??" :blink: .. LOLOL.

i went to toyota dealer in perth last week and spoke to salesman who swore on his kids life that a corolla levin is the top of the line corolla (talking about 05 models) he said even tho sportivo has better engine, leather, bigger wheels, brakes etc its cheaper than a levin?!?!?!?!?! unfortunatly he has none to sell for tha cheap price haha

Yes, it is true that the LEVIN is the highest non-modified 1zz Engine styled car,

But the sportivo is the highest of the high, and look around, everyone that have a stivo 05 model, you can clearly see how the kit will absolutely fit.

i did it with mine, and it looks tops :D but i have 03, but the only differnce is the front lip, thats it.

So try another dealer, im sure they can track a lip kit for you :D

i was buying a car around that time too, i looked at a stivo because it looked sexier and what not.. leather seat.. body kit.. full electrics..

so i asked the guy.. so whats the diff between this and the ascent? its 6g difference (2nd hand) ... all the guy told me was.. oh nothing much just the leather seat and body kit and alloy rims..

did not mention anything bout the engine..

its really hard also when your trying to trade the car in because most dealers don't know anything about the corolla sportivo so they offer you the same price as normal corolla...

its so frustrating trying to explain that the sportivo isn't just a corolla with a body kit...

they just pretended they don't know la..... see the price when they selling it?? however, i really don't think adding anything on the car is a good idea if you plan to sell it in the near future, it will never cover your cost... that just from my own experience....

The prices on genuine Toyota parts these days are a SHOCKER!!

But it's good if you know someone who works with them, can help you out.

I agree, some of the people who work there seem to know lil detail when you ask questions.

      Brake issues

      BTW forgot to mention that there is no shake in the steering wheel. The 'shudder', really hard to describe but almost like brakes on and off. Cannot identify front or rear or both. Got me totally miffed.

      Brake issues

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes. Also was somewhat intermittent. Having over 100k on the clock a lot which were done towing a big van, I thought I may have warped a disk. Checked them with a dial gauge but no useful info. Bit the bullet and replaced all 4 with new slotted rotors and pads from DBA. Huge difference in braking. However the shudder has return almost with a vengeance. Thought I fixed the problem when I disconnected the ECU for another unrelated issue. ECU is remapped, car went in limp mode and could not clear it with the scangauge. Problem not fixed and I am lost as to why this is happening. Plan on visiting Berima Diesel later on this year to have the injectors checked and I'll get them to look at the brakes if I still haven't figured it out. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Having read some of the replies, to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a minor remap. Toyota in their wisdom have the software in the ECU such that it cannot be downloaded, modified and reloaded. It has to be a complete reload, either stock or modified. All you fellows disconnecting the battery is a good and simple way to try and reset everything but similar results can be achieved by simply disconnecting the ECU. That's the big plug in the firewall passenger side. Meanwhile I may need to start a new topic for the following issues I am experiencing: Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes. Also was somewhat intermittent. Having over 100k on the clock a lot which were done towing a big van, I thought I may have warped a disk. Checked them with a dial gauge but no useful info.

      G’day from NSW

      G’day All just got a 2012 (old shape) Corolla Ascent Hatchback Auto. Needs a few things done, it was my Dads who just passed away. Going to install pioneer head unit (basic one really) as a start, then maybe upgrade speakers but I’ll see how the oem ones go, I’ve read I’ll need at least 50w ones for the pioneer. Front inner plastic guards are a bit trashed along with bumper bar, just need to neaten it up a little. cheers Sparky

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky
