Does anyone know just how much audio power the optional JBL music system delivers in the Corolla? I see that this optional package is now available with the S model for the carryover '08 Corolla. Does it include a subwoofer? I can't get a straight answer from the Toyota website. Upon purchase I'm not sure whether to go with this option or seek aftermarket. I've heard that Toyota sound systems are lame, to say the least, except in the Camry. That optional JBL set-up delivers a whopping 440 watts! Any 4-1-1 will be appreciated! Peace!! AladdinSane<-  --

It should be reliable, but will get nowhere near the mpg of the 4 speed on the highway, where it will lose about 5 mpg maybe more depending on speed. It will also be noisier on the highway, and may accelerate a little slower. Should be good around town, but not great where the speed limit is 80 mph. |

i Have a 2003 Toyota Corolla S, and the other day while wiping and cleaning the interior i noticed that the front door seals (on the car half, not the door itself) had a wear mark and worn right through. It seems that being long legged and having the seat all the way back, i rub the seal as i get into the car. Not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but wanted to pass the info on. Just so others are aware and able to keep this from happening to them. I dread the cost to replace them. But all in all i enjoy the car, and glad i bought it.

I am planning to buy a 2001 corolla CE which doesnt have the power windows and locks. How feasible/expensive it is to get new power windows and locks installed?

Replying to: kenym (Jun 10, 2007 11:09 am) That is your opinion. The Corolla belongs to my wife. I don't drive it much but I have never had a problem with getting in the vehicle or being uncomfortable while riding or driving the car. I have know idea what a buzzy engine or numb steering means and really care too. The car is a little more than a year old and has averaged 30+ MPG overall, runs great looks great and most importantly the wife loves the car. Well of course it's my opinion I can get in and out of a Corolla perfectly fine. But the wheel is WAY too far away from me when the seat is set for my legs. By "buzzy engine" I mean the engine lacks smoothness at high-RPMS (such as when the engine kicks down to 3rd gear at 75 MPH to maintain speed up a hill). By "Numb steering" I mean the car has little road-feel and a generally sloppy feel at the wheel. Drive a Honda, better yet a Mazda, and you'll understand what I'm talking about; they have less slop at the helm. Toyotas have typically have clientele who just want to go from A to B, not people who enjoy driving (dare I say "enthusiasts). For those, like yourselves, the Corolla is a good car. It's just relentlessly boring to operate for those of us used to something more fun. (yes, old post, but still applies since the Corolla is now going into year number 6!)
