  1. I wouldn't be buying that model because its not high enough of the ground. I like my Toyota Corolla Hatch Automatic bought last Dec as its much higher off the ground and I can see through the windows of 4wd's where lower designed cars like the Hyandai all one sees is the car door of the 4wd which I do not much care for. I like the higher off the ground cars so that when I'm turning left and a 4wd is turning roght I can see the traffic through the window of the 4wd. My 2011 Corolla only has a 3 speed automatic. I would like to see a 4 speed auto like the Hyundai's. I know one Toyota dealer I would never ever go to again as when I bought a new Toyota Corolla Hatch Auto in Dec of 2011 when I got home the family noticed these huge paint stains on the door. When I contacted them they chose to ignore me. Here is the image of the paint stain on the inside of the car door. And no not seen any on the road or in Toyota car yards anywhere. Drive past 3 today and all they seem to be selling are the model Toyot aI bought last year. Perhaps no stock in Perth yet. umm.. I'm pretty sure all corollas since the 90s are 4 speed automatics? ZREs are 6 speed manual or 4 speed automatic however being in 2012/2013 it really should be 5 speed automatic by now.
  2. hmm could you explain? from my personal understanding is whether it's in neutral or it's in gear, so long as you are not pressing on the accelerator and you are letting it coast, it should use the same amount of fuel. I think in nuetral is uses less fuel than not putting the pedal on the gas pedal plus the car seems to roll further than when its not on the gas pedal for a manual car that is. It was used by quite a few of us going backi 30 years where if driving a manual car you could drop it into neutral and coast the car. You just wouldn't do that in an automatic car. Don't know if modern cars can do it. Gear boxes seem to be a lot differnt than 30 years ago. When dropping it into neutal and then really coast the car for quite a bit. Brakes work when coasting in a manual when in neutral then when the car starts to slow up I would drop it back into 3rd or fourth depending on the speed of the car. Would not advise placing an automatic in neutral to coast a car as the brakes do not work that well in nuetral and may stuff up the gear box when going from nuetral to automatric. My autromatic I don't really coast it, I just don't need to press the foot on the gas pedal as the car seems to coast along for quite a distance. I think that is relevant on lower speeds as the revs are relatively low, however if you are going at like 60 - 70+ would you not be better keeping it in gear with accelerator off and letting the revs drop, you would pop it back into neutral just before the car is going to stall. Personally that is how I drive my manual cars

  4. jay got coilovers from me, AE112 are hard to get coilovers for as they aren't popular to modify (however when you look at jays you question why that is the case, looks great) you can get AE111 BC coilovers from ebay or jesse streeter or most performance shops, they are a direct bolt on for the AE112 if you plan on doing some track work you may want to speak with the guys at MRP performance in NZ too
  5. i've just recently done a service on my yaris. i definitely used more than 4L of oil, probably around the vicinity of 4.5L.. I'll check this tomorrow. either way, it should be fine. note: method of filling was fill, check, fill, check, run engine, check, fill, check, run engine, check.
  6. back in the days a few honda boys mounted intercoolers as part of their intake system cos it looked good..... most ineffectivewasteofmoneyeverspent
  7. It still helps prolong the use of the gearbox, such as warming the car up before flogging it (as most new cars don't need to be "warmed up").
  8. alot of headunits have a usb port on the front and an extension on the rear which you can route elsewhere, i never used my front usb port on my old headunit
  9. you don't happen to have coilovers by any chance?
  10. damn, can i borrow them indefinitely LOL. let me see how they look on car, may take them off your hands

    Hiro's AE102

    relax relax... it's a genuine cusco lol, probably just an older one. you can see the bracket is a genuine AE111 bracket. you can tell by the quality of the actual catch can, imitation ones are pretty bleh.
  13. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY IN SYDNEYYYYYY :( Goodluck!
  14. Doesn't the aurion fill this market (just that it's fwd)
  15. look, I agree, however, could it be that's it's a RWD sports car at a ridiculously competitive price range? You're getting a toyota/subaru for hyundai money, that itself is very attractive!
  16. Which is true, but don't forget you said: which is clearly untrue given their roaring popularity. Had you said something like: I would have agreed. While I think the Gen 2 Aurion Sportivo looks good, I have no doubt it will be soulless as the rest of their current range (even if they are good at what they are designed for). As above mentioned in relation to the topic at hand.
  17. But are you able to speak for the others purchasing other makes and models of cars and whether they are purchasing their cars because of its "heart and soul"? I believe the discussion is about Toyota, I think the majority of people buying vehicles are for it's practicality, confines of budget, safety, fuel economy etc. How many non enthusiasts go out to buy a car for it's heart and soul, what I'm saying are people who do seek a car with heart and soul will not be excited by what Toyota currently produces.
