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.

      2012 Toyota Landcruiser Lacks power

      Hi Mandy I have had something similar on a Nissan, no lights and no power. Does it make any unusual noises when putting your foot down? Pinking noise, whooshing or hissing noises? I take it you have had a code reader plugged in? Wondering if the MAF sensor is reading air intake incorrectly, giving this a clean with isopropyl would be beneficial anyway, but these usually these throw a light and go in to limp mode. You LC has not gone in to limp mode? can you build up speed with it? Also have you checked the car when the iginition is on that the CEL light actually works?

      ‘97 Petrol 6 cyl ‘80 Series knocking/rattle below

      Hi, Ive just joined, so Hello! I have had a knocking/rattle sound for a couple of months, sounds like a loose panel/body moving on chassis. Mechanic checked all this and i was told it is a loose baffle in fuel tank. Still makes noise when main tank is half full. Has anyone else had or heard of this issue please? Of course I’ll get another mechanics opinion before any major decisions, but my research shows so far that i have a BIG, expensive problem getting it fixed/replaced. Has anybody else dealt with this particular problem please?

      1989 Hilux Low Voltage

      I,m pretty sure they run an external voltage regulator, mounted on the side in the engine bay, its been a while now so I'm not sure if the original had points inside which pit, stick and so on. Get yourself a fully sealed electronic one from the wreckers, as chances are someone has updated to cure symptoms like you are having, even one from another Toyota model eg Corona, will do, If yours is the original it will have a big black top on it, No more problems This is what you need; Buy Jaylec Voltage Reg 12V Denso Ext 026000-4050/4051/4070 For Toyota In589 15-867 Online | Rolan Australia

      DIY Update GPS Maps on Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport 2017

      Hi everyone, I own a 2017 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport based in Perth, Western Australia. My car's navigation system currently runs on iGO Primo software (version 9.12.14.545514). I'm looking to update the maps and keep the entire system updated. I understand that the recommended method is to visit a Toyota dealer, but I'm interested in exploring if there's a DIY way to do this. Could anyone guide me through the process or provide any reliable resources or links? Here are the details of my current setup: Car Model: Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport 2017 Location: Perth, Western Australia Navigation Software: iGO Primo 9.12.14.545514 Specifically, I'd like to know: Where can I find the map update files that are compatible with my navigation system? What are the steps involved in transferring the map updates to an SD card and updating the system myself? Are there any risks or considerations I should be aware of before attempting a DIY update? I’ve looked through the user manual and some online resources but couldn’t find a comprehensive guide. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Best regards,
