I know USASpec makes some adapters, but it isn't clear if it works with the JBL system in the Corolla.
Somehow I didn't think in Brooklyn that we would get the 35 mpg being reported by those in other places.
I would think that your Nissan Altima has more horse power than my Corolla and therefore is thirstier. Because BP is shutting down its refinery in the US get ready to pay $4 a gallon in NY.
Not bad, eh? The map shows from Miami to jacksonville and thats where we put in the 1/2 a tank. :shades: That got us from orange park to atlanta!
ps: we were going 70-90mph the whole time and the car handled excellent!!

Sounds like this car was in an accident from the problems you are describing. Much to many problems for a corolla to have unless it had an accident.
My wife has had corolla's all the way back to 1986. She has had an 86, 95, 01, 04 and now a 05. Mainly trading due to redesigns with regards to sizes and safety features. Never have we had to change anything close to the things you mention.
Did your dad do a CARFAX on the car before purchasing?? If not, the car was most likely hit and or damaged then repaired before he got it.
Auctions are not a great place to buy unless you are truely an expert in spotting damage and or repairs and things of that nature.
Way to much has been fixed on this car for it to be mint from auction.
Cars go to auction for a reason!!!
Don't let this experience ruin your feeling on corollas because they are super reliable and funny, normally very quiet other than a little engine thrash at high RPM.
If you had a new one, I mean purchased new regardless of year, you would love it!
As you state, most Corollas don't have it, although I imagine that will change when they bring out the new 08 model (as many new vehicles in the compact class are now including it as standard).
There are some scenarios where braking with your wheels locked without ABS could give you a lower total braking distance, but skidding out of control with with locked wheels isn't all it's cracked up to be.
That's really an irrelevant point because if Toyota can fit ABS to some Corollas they could fit it to all. It's a question of cost and perception in the market place. If nobody bought Corollas without ABS you can be sure that they would all appear with ABS.
Actually that was my point, but stated in a different way.

I don't understand your point. Tons of people bought Civics before they had ABS standard. (Until 2006, you couldn't even get ABS on many Civics, even as an option.) So why did Honda add ABS to all '06 Civics as standard equipment? Also, lots of people buy Elantras now. Still, Hyundai made ABS standard on the 2007 Elantra.
We just drove through the Mojave desert running the a/c in 100+ degree temps and not only did the a/c work great, we got 38 mpgs to boot on a car that only had 840 miles on it.
My fellow passenger kept asking me to turn the a/c down as I do like it cold.
The engine temp stayed the same as any other day, right before the half way line.
We went up some decent hills in the heat and no problems either.

I need to buy another one in '07 and thought I'd wait for the '08 Corolla to come out so as to not have two that look the same (although I do love my '05 as is). After seeing the pictures (yuk!) I've decided to not wait and buy the Civic - but not without looking at the Mazda 3 first.
Will be built on the same chassis and wheelbase as the existing Corolla. The styling, to me, is disappointing...very bland and ho hum, compared with the Yaris Sedan and the new Camry. I don't think anyone will be holding their breath waiting in anticipation, except maybe those who have been hoping for a wagon version.
Here's a link to an Oct 11th story. If you google "2008 Corolla", you will find many others....

I think we will see it here sometime in early 2007, since the 2003 model came out in early 2002 and it's already selling in Japan, but we'll have to wait and see.
A bit of a tangent --- didn't the late 20th Century / early 21st Century Corolla look dang cool from the trunk view?? The letters on the back made it seem more pricey somehow. However, the increase in size in the newest generation is worth the slight tradeoff for potential perceived coolness of the previous.
2014 Mini Cooper (stick shift of course), 2016 Camry hybrid, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (keeping the stick alive)
any word when the new 08 is coming out, fall 07? spring 08?
thanks

The one thing you would probably have to look at is the position of the seat belt tensioners before making that move.
can anyone tell me if a 1991 Corolla has a timing belt or Chain?
Thanks
Your car has to have power windows, doors, and locks in order for you to install RS3200 or RS3200plus.
RS3200 version is for cars without keyless entry, while RS3200 plus is for car with keyless entry.

The price is good. This is a Toyota Dealer from the West Cost. I used them last year for buying some accessories.
Good luck.
The one we're looking at has the Upgrade Package (Power Windows & Power Door Locks) but no keyless enty so I guess we'd have to go with the RS3200. Now that we know it's an available accessory for the CE, I imagine we'll get it from the dealer when we buy the car. Thanks for the link, we'll probably use it before winter to get a set of All-Weather Floor Mats.
None of these are dealer installed add-on's.
