#107 of 304 Re: M.P.G. for 2006 corolla 5 speed vs. automatic? [kenym] by nippononly Dec 25, 2006 (12:02 am)
Replying to: kenym (Dec 24, 2006 6:29 am) Oh, the day that odo reads 36,001 miles, it is definitely OUT of warranty!   At 2%, you only get shorted about 700 miles on your 3/36 new car warranty.   I remember one of the car mags did their own tests on this a few years back. The BMWs were the most off, some reading as much as 5% high, but none of the cars was dead on IIRC. Replies to this message: mcdawgg (Dec 27, 2006 5:07 am) nippononly (Dec 27, 2006 6:13 pm)

My wife's Rav had a minor trim issue, and it was 4 months past the warranty period, and about 4,000 miles over. I called Toyota and they covered it.

Replying to: mcdawgg (Dec 27, 2006 5:07 am) Oh absolutely, Toyota is very good about stuff like that, even thousands of miles and a year or more out of warranty, if it is something that you wouldn't expect to go wrong at that mileage. I just meant that TECHNICALLY, you are out of warranty at 36,001 miles.
#110 of 304 M.P.G. by 02frontier Dec 28, 2006 (6:20 am)
I have a 2006 Corolla LE, automatic, purchased 12 June 2006. As of 24 December 2006, I had driven 11,144 miles and used 309.4 gallons, for a 36.018099 mpg. My highest mpg was 42.8 (first fill up), and the lowest was 27.6 (don't know what happened here). My r/t commute is 92 miles. Going into work (about 5:30am), it is all interstate running about 60-65. Coming home (5:00pm), it is only about 1/3 interstate (different route because of traffic). I am very happy with this vehicle and I plan to drive until it won't go anymore.

Replying to: 02frontier (Dec 28, 2006 6:20 am) Be prepared for a VERY LONG ownership, probably 1o years or more. You will be bored with the car long before anything goes wrong with it, provided you don't skimp on maintenance.   I have a 2001 Toyota Echo, with now 158k miles, average 41 MPG and absolutely nothing has gone wrong, not even a light bulb.   Of course all regular maintenance has been done. I am on my second set of tires, spark plugs, belts and brakes. Yearly replacement of ATF and coolant and that's it.   Happy driving! Replies to this message: 02frontier (Jan 03, 2007 10:31 am)

Replying to: pulgo (Dec 28, 2006 11:24 am) I know it will last a long time. I had a 1991 Geo Prizm (basically the same as the Corolla) and it lasted until 286K! Was extremely pleased with the car and only got rid of it when it was going to cost me about $2,500 to get it to pass state inspection. Considering I bought it from my next-door neighbor ($1,000 and "only" 101,000 miles), and I drove it for 8 years, I think I got my $$$ worth. Only repair, other than normal tires, batteries, oil changes, etc., was replacing 2 timing belts -- both broke.
#113 of 304 Getting less MPG on 2003 Toyota Corolla by dhar Jan 04, 2007 (10:11 pm)
I have a 2003 Corolla S, automatic, which has 34K on it and I recently noticed that it is giving me around 21 MPG. Any thoughts?

Replying to: dhar (Jan 04, 2007 10:11 pm) Depends on where you live. I live in North East Ohio and I believe they start using winter fuel additives around the end of October and my wife's mileage dropped about 1% or about 3 MPG. She has a 2006 Corolla S Auto with about 6500 miles and averaged 30+ before the winter additives were added to the gas.

Replying to: kenym (Jan 05, 2007 7:50 am) A 3 mpg drop is about 10%, not 1%... unless you folks are getting 300 mpg (highway, i would think).
