can somebody please explain to me what is the difference between corolla 120 series models 120 - 121 & 122 ( are they all relevant numbers ? ).

i know that a 123 is a sportivo but i am a bit confused over the vin #s ,

there appears to be a 6 speed manual with a vin # AHT

and a 5 speed manual turbo charged version vin JT7 - are they both zze 123 ?

also , i believe that all sportivo are made in south africa , does that apply to both vin #s above and what if any other version is made in south africa ?

I am looking to buy a corolla for my granddaughter and like the look of this model and would like to know more about it

thank you

Hey, welcome to the club,

The 6 speed manual is the ZZE123R with VIN AHT = South African

This is the Toyota Corolla Sportivo (2003-2005)

I believe the 5 speed manual turbo is AE112R with VIN JT7 = Australian developed but I believe it was built in Japan. (don't quote me on it though) Also only about 100'ish were made so not very many around.

Most, if not all corolla's to come to Australia were and are Japanese built. However, I think in recent years they are made in Thailand for the Aussie market. (but again not 100% sure)

A VIN starting with JT means built in Japan, MR is Thailand and Australia is 6T.

The current Corolla ZRE150 series is all Japan built. Nothing from Thailand ... yet

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP

      2007 - Floor mat

      Original mats but in sandstone colour but you could possibly get them dyed a different colour. https://www.nunawadingtoyotaparts.com.au/toyota-camry-sandstone-carpet-mats-set-from-2006-t

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks
