no doubt if you find a good car from an auction its a wonderful buy, but when you find something below average it hurts. Theres no gurantee on them and no test drives. Luck of the draw most of the time.
-
they don't have the over drive button any more right? they had it on the previous model camrys, corollas and avalons. I think the shift to the dog legged selector gate eliminated it, or the automatics are just smarter. <_<

i have an old one, 99 corolla. Gets around 9.2 - 10 L/100kms. And i fill it up with the cheap (still quite expensive) and nasty fuel you find at coles n safeway.

Do u guys really like the new corolla
icejagans replied to SWTIVO's topic in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club
i feel it's just been a facelift, rather than a whole new model. The Engine is the same!!! Its now heavier, but roomier. At least it's now fun to drive from what i have read. -
they also sell it in japan, its called the mark crown something or other, why not here?!
-
but i feel it's really risky purchasing one from an auction. Sure they are cheaper. company cars are the worst treated ones, being floored to redline on a cold engine. No sense of care or pride when it's not your car right?
-
Also camrys don't have any major problems, hence the lack of action. Look at the camry's brother forum(aurion), almost every 2nd post is about problems.
-
its kind of hard getting excited about the camry, my avalon is as dull as watching grass grow but i love her for being so darn reliable. And engine so smooth...
-
don't forget it needs the quality petrol, not that cheap nasty stuff at coles
-
its funny that all the slow drivers hog the right lane.
-
speedo margins are in favour of keeping your license. Anyway, just put up a sticker on the dashboard to remind you that 67km = 60 and so forth.
-
thats like my avalon as well. On cold mornings its sitting around 2000rpm. Also the fuel consumption during the first 2 mins are incredbly high. Around 20L/100kms.
-
it's smaller than an aurion. For me the aurion is a bit too big, so many would see it as a camry competitor. In being a rwd car, many falcodore drivers would finally deem it as an actual alternative. IF they imported i would be the first on the waiting list.
-
SUCH LONG WAITING PERIODS!! One day (when my trust avalon dies) then maybe i will consider Aurion. :o
-
hows the ride quality? I guess it doesn't really matter now, you would be having too much fun going around corners.

the only car that i consider perfect for me is the toyota reiz. While i was on holiday in china, i was often the passenger in my uncle's reiz. BOY IS IT SMOOTH! A 2.5 V6 (the same one in the lexus IS250) mated to a 6 speed auto driven through the rear wheels. It's a mid size vehicle, nothing to big but it does weigh quite a bit (around 1700kg), but all in all its the perfect car. Now i believe that if Toyota imports the Reiz they might have a real winner here.
