Hi there

[MCMLXVI]

Just saying hello. I bought myself a 2016 Corolla ZR a few weeks ago. My wife has a 2017 Corolla Ascent Sport.

Not my first Toyota. Back in my youth ( 55 now ), I had a 1973 TA22 Celica. Great little car.

We live in the NSW Southern Highlands and I work at the local Toyota dealership.

Thanks for having me on board.

Here's a pic of our driveway.

Welcome to the Forum.

Nice buy.

Bet you are glad that you work at the local Toyota dealership rather than a Holden one or a few other makes on the decline. 

I am sure that you will have a few stories to tell and some good advice.

Thanks peeps. Yes, quite happy at the Toyota yard. Also working alongside Hyundai and Honda too. Good place to work, with good people.

I'll definitely be keeping ears out for any news that I can bring to the table.

Thanks Bob and Tony for your welcoming words. Quite happy with my Corolla so far. I work in parts / service dept at our local Toyota dealership. Great place to work.

As a further to my post, I've traded my blue ZR in on a 2021 Ascent Sport. Wife has traded her 2017 Ascent Sport in on a silver 2021 Ascent Sport. We take delivery on Tuesday. Here's mine on Thursday getting its PDS.

Thanks Robert. Very happy so far. Mine is up to 530km already. First thing I noticed was the ride. There's a noticeable difference in the ride between the 16s on the AS and the 17s on my ZR. Seats are a nice place to be. Not excessively plush, but good support for a long distance drive when the time comes. I'm still coming to terms with Android Auto, but the "tablet" seems pretty user-friendly. But it's the safety features which really stick out. Toyota, to their credit, have packed a lot of safety assistance into such a relatively cheap car.

Yep. Quite happy.

Hi Kevin, Glad your really enjoying the new baby, Toyota have always been one step ahead on the details with cars, I have always and still do enjoy all the simple operating gadgets in our car and as you said the safety features just give me that extra feeling of security driving out there with all the nut jobs around me. Hopefully you will get to add a lot more Klm's on the dial with a nice long holiday road trip.

Keep Well and Keep Safe
