Yesterday I got right rear side tire flat. One garage guy tried fixing it but could not. SO I guess I need to replace the tire. On my 99 Corolla car, these original tires have already done 22K Miles.
I need suggestion from you guys, on which Tire Make/Model should I choose. The size is 185/65R14.
All ideas are welcome.
Thanks
not only it's cheaper but bigger too!!!
Corolla S, cladding came straight from the Corolla Fielder, as well as similar ones from the Corolla RunX & Allen. Not that bad looking.
Leather: Used to be available in the Geo Prizm from 1993 to 1997 in the LSi trim. Having leather is one thing, but quality of the leather is another.
Toyota's "High Profile" Design methodology? More room (head room, shoulder room, and trunk space). May hurt aerodynamics and raise center of gravity a bit. Look at the Prius & Echo, smaller package on the outside, comparable space in the inside compared to the Corolla.
Sadly it needs rear disc brakes
Because the 2003 Corolla shares many of the same components as the Matrix sport wagon, let's see how long before Toyota decides to build a "GT" model with a true sport suspension and the 180 bhp engine (which should easily drop into the Corolla's engine compartment). Can you say "Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V beater"? :-)
And, unlike the Protege, the Corolla comes with not one but two rear cupholders (Civic EX has one, lower grades come with none).
I can't wait for the Chicago Auto Show. With the Civic, Pro, and new Corolla, I have a very difficult decision to make this Spring. They are all very nice economy sedans. (Sentra too small for me; VW too expensive; Hyundai dealer too far away and, with Kia and Daewoo...maybe next time when reliability is proven.)

REDESIGN within 2002-2003
Camry, Corolla, Matrix, 4Runner, Sienna (and Solara, possibly 2004 at latest. I believe and shouldn't it be time for Land Cruiser as well?)
REFRESH
Celica, ECHO, MR2-Spyder, Avalon and Tundra.
Lexus has its new GX470 SUV coming out also. ES300 was just redesigned with refresh of RX300 and GS series
As you can see, most of Toyota's vehicles are undergoing changes no doubt drawing more interest. The new Tacoma has drawn unexpected interest. Toyota is building up its supplies of Corolla like never before.
Funny thing is, I seriously considered buying an AE86 before turbo-ing my 2000 and got talked out of it. As much fun as my 2000 has been (sucking the doors off Mustangs in a lowly Corolla is a hoot!), I'm looking to sell my 2000 and keep my 85. Next project? Maybe a gen1 MR2 or mid-80s Supra.

Toyota yesterday reported that the new Corolla will base at around $13.4, while the new Matrix will base at around $14.6. As the Matrix is actually a Corolla in a small SUV's clothes, I wonder if many the people looking to buy a Corolla will also be considering the Matrix. If so, why? If not, why not?
if budget is not a factor, i would definitely get the matrix coz of it's size and wagon type body. i currently drive a sienna and i'm used to the room and with a baby, u need all the room u can get for stroller, diaper bag, food, etc!
i think once the matrix comes out next month, pt cruiser, mazda protege5 and other small suv/wagon vehicles will be in big trouble! in my area, toyota canada annouced that corolla base will start around C$15,300 and matrix will start around C$16,800. a base protege5 starts around C$20,000 and pt cruiser starts around C$24,000+ in my area. who in their right mind would want to buy these cars when a base matrix starts at C$16,800 and a 4wd matrix will start at C$20,000+?!?!?!
i think that the matrix will be a winner for toyota and same thing with the corolla. i can see civic sales suffer and hopefully i will see less civics and more corolla's on the street!
i always thought cars are cheaper in usa but by looking at the new corolla/matrix prices, seems like cars are cheaper in canada! i wonder if our neighbours down south would be rushing up north to buy corolla and matrix!
I am not sure about other areas, but Chicago and Illinois have statutes that allow taxing residents for new car purchases whether the car was purchased in Illinois or another state. I am not sure how that would work if someone from Illinois purchased in Canada, however. If it worked, a tourist could pay for a fun trip to the Great North with the savings.
I have a 2002 Corolla CE and am planning to install a 5 disc changer with a friend. The disc changer is on local sale for 70$ (i dont care the brand for that price). The Toyota changer is roughly $500.
If i install the changer does it affect the warranty on the car's electrical components? Or does it not matter at all.
One thing I am somewhat concerned about is how many entry-level Camry owners will instead opt for a top-line Corolla; I am one of them! I recently rented a 2002 Camry and found much more interior space than I will ever need.
Feel the goooood VIBE-ration, feel the action!! Matrix and Vibe are coming!
TGIF, have a good weekend everyone!
Check it out: An LE automatic with the options package that includes ABS, All-Weather Guard, and Cruise Control, plus the accessory 15inch Alloy Wheels, and Carpeted Floormats/Trunkmat... prices out at an MSRP of 17,216, including dest.
Toyota certainly has a contender!!!!

No CE's, No S's, and No LE 5-speed.
That is soooooo disappointing.
Mackabee, do you think would I be able to have the dealer order a 5-speed LE with ABS for me, or am I stuck with whatever the powers that be think is best for my region?
Question #2 is what is in Preferred Equipment Package 1? I find no explanation on the website.
Can't wait to get a look at the Corolla and Matrix at the Chicago Auto Show.

If you're in Houston do not buy from Sterling McCall Toyota. They tried to rip me off the first time I went to the dealership (quoted me an outrageous price). Then they lied about a phone price quote (baiting me to come in), had the gall to substitute a sales manager with another - saying that the guy I talked to over the phone got 'mysteriously lost'. Even the sales associate was confused and amazed at the run around that I was getting. The worst part is that they tried to get an asian manager to deal with me since I am asian. That pissed me off the most! I walked out so pissed!(never been so mad) Not only have they lost a customer, from now on I will advise people to not ever buy from them (funny thing is that I bought a car from them about 8 years ago, too bad how things go south sometimes).
very, very few cars show only kph on the speedo.
i heard corolla/matrix wont be out until end of feb./beginning of march.
4200 rpm the optional vvt-li is rated for 130 ft lbs,but at 6800rpm, so the non XRS matrixes I beleive will feel lively operating lower in
the powerband. And this set up is probably better for the 4wd versions having the extra grunt at a lower rpm. I agree more power is needed, however under normal driving conditions I don't think you will feel the extra power until the rpm's really get up there in the XRS versions.

I, and many others, love Hondas but could never buy one, not even an Accord, because they are so relatively NOISY!!!!
