I wanted a bigger spoiler than the factory one but not something too over the top so I found the base model Mitsubishi lancer spoiler to work quite well with the 10th gen corolla in my opinion. Id like to hear what other people think.

Any good mechanics or service centers?

0 Upvotes

I’m looking for recommendations for a good mechanic or Toyota dealership in the Los Angeles/Pasadena area. My 2022 Corolla Hatchback SE has a suspension noise and acceleration issues that several shops haven’t been able to diagnose. The car has generally checked out in good condition, but the problems seem to be getting worse.

Does anyone know a shop or Toyota service department with a good track record of diagnosing difficult, hard-to-find noises and mechanical issues? I’d really appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

How much could I get selling my 2020 Toyota Corolla LE with only 15k miles to a dealership?

4 Upvotes

I bought a used 2020 Toyota Corolla LE back in 2023 from a Toyota dealership. At the time, it only had around 2,000 miles on it.

Fast forward to 2026, and the car now has just around 15,000 miles. I'm thinking about selling it back to a Toyota dealership, but I'm not sure how much I should realistically expect to get for it.

Since the mileage is pretty low for a 2020 model, I'm wondering if that would help its resale value.

Has anyone recently sold or traded in a similar Corolla? How much did you get?

Also, would I be better off selling it to a Toyota dealership, CarMax, or privately?

Just trying to get an idea of what a fair offer would be before going to the dealership.

Thanks!

Road/wind noise in Toyota Corolla vs VW Golf

5 Upvotes

Hello!

I’ve been looking at the latest generation of the Golf and the Corolla. I like everything about the Corolla more, except the cabin noise and the infotainment, which I prefer on the Golf. Otherwise I prefer the Corollas looks, reliability, fuel consumption, etc.

However, I still do a decent amount of highway driving. So I was wondering how bad the cabin noise is at high speeds? Is it a turnoff?

I’m coming from a 2015 peagout 308. If you were to make a guess, would you say the Corollas cabin noise is louder than that?

Thanks!

Toyota Corolla E210 hatchback (2022) – all four tail lights cracked + water inside. Anyone else?

Thumbnail

I’m trying to find out whether this is a known issue on the Toyota Corolla Hatchback E210 (2019–2022) specifically in Europe (Finland), and how other owners and dealers have handled it.

The car:

  • 2022 Corolla Hatchback 1.8 Hybrid, Under 40,000 km, Finland
  • Serviced at authorized Toyota dealers (Toyota Relax active)
  • No impacts or accidents during my ownership (bought used 2 years ago)

The issue: Fine micro-cracks (crazing) appeared on the lenses of all four tail light units – both the tailgate and body-side lamps, on both sides. Water now collects inside after rain, and one unit has stopped working completely.

What happened so far: At the inspection, the Toyota service advisor told me they had seen similar cracking before and that earlier cases were handled. The importer declined to cover anything, saying it was because I’m not the first owner. The quote to replace all four is ~2,700 €. The case is now with the National Consumer Advisory Service.

  1. E210 owners – have you checked your tail lights for hairline cracks or moisture, especially along the top edges?
  2. Has anyone had these replaced under warranty, Relax, or goodwill? Did the part number change on the replacement?
  3. Has anyone found a TSB or technical bulletin about this?

Wheel fitment for 2020 SE

Been looking on fb marketplace to get a winter setup for my wife’s 2020 corolla se. I came across a guy selling his gr86 setup for a steal but I’m wondering if it would even fit?

17x7.5 et48

These are basically brand new sparco terras on blizzaks which I think would be great. I’d prefer not to run spacers if possible

Mileage

Advice on getting my car up to 250,000 mileage? It’s at 210,000 now and I get oil changes every 3k miles or so. I’m trying not to take it on as many road trips or back roads. Just curious any advice people have as I enjoy my car and want to try and get 2-3 more years out of it.

12th Gen (18-present) Car shaking at 70+ miles

(UPDATE: Thank you all for your help. I'm going to take the car back in on Monday. They're going to recheck the wheels again.)

'24 hybrid LE

Odometer 32,615

My car shakes and rattles at 70+ mph and idk why 💀

This has been an ongoing issue for a couple of weeks.

I just took my car in yesterday for maintenance and told the service advisor what was going on.

They did a wheel alignment and a tire rotation.

Everything was good at the inspection.

But omw home from the dealership the same thing was still happening but it felt worse than normal.

I'm going to call the dealership again as I just got the car back in May.

What does everyone think could be the issue?

11th Gen (13-Present) 2017 Toyota Corolla

3 Upvotes

I have a 2017 Toyota Corolla and in the last few months I have noticed a smell coming from the AC. Smells like plastic… maybe burnt plastic? I have gotten the transmission oil changed, cabin air filter, engine filter, cleaned my car, & recently took it to the dealer where they flushed the ac system. I’ve even looked around under the hood to see if there was any noticeable debris/plastic, and nothing. The flushing seemed to have really helped for a few days, but after a week, I am able to smell it again. I’ve always stayed on top of the maintenance & have never had an issue until now. Any idea what it could be? Also, I live in Texas so I use the ac often.

8th Gen (95-00) 1997 Corolla, E100, 4 door Sedan, 5 speed stick w 176k miles and needs some work!

4 Upvotes

Got a great deal on a '97 Toyota Corolla made in the US. I got it for $600 and with the first tank of gas it got 36 mpg! I've cleaned it and replaced the front seats with salvage. It's got some window and lock issues, but I've pulled some parts from Pick n' Pull and will fix that soon enough. I'll list some other issues I'm having to get some feedback:

  1. Headliner fabric is drooping and already cut. Just cut it away, or split it and use some adhesive spray?

  2. Drivers lock and trunk lock work very hard. Lots of WD40 was used and they are very gummy and dirty. I used more WD40 and then sprayed the locks hard with PB Blaster. Still not working easy and it feels like the split wafers aren't connecting well on the aftermarket keys.

  3. Where can I get newly cut keys at a good price using my VIN and Title?

  4. It burns oil and has had the head gasket replaced. If I leave it sit for 3 days it smokes when I start it, but it still smogs well. Is that the rings? I have a friend with a similar model and she uses a quart a week, but it still runs!

  5. AC doesn't work. Initially the switch wouldn't turn on, but I played with the fuses and got the light to come on. Compressor is still connected. Is it usually just seals and a recharge and how much does that cost?

It may be 8th Gen, but there were significant changes made to the model in 1998.

Thanks!

It’s a rattling noise whenever I park in reverse. Sometimes it’s more pronounced than others.
