    Default Time for a change

    Well after 20 years of service in my family I finally retired my Camry.

    And bought myself this.

    2011 Toyota Corolla S

    Curious as to what you guys think about them. So far I love it. I get about 24-26mpg in the city and that's what the camry got highway.

    Thanks. Big change I said I'd never get a new car and have a payment. But when stuff keeps breaking you hit a point where it is better to just cut the ties holding you back.

    Awesome DD. the great thing about it is, Corollas will run forever. I'm sure you will be trouble free for awhile, of course, you never know though.

    That's what I'm hoping for is trouble free. I never had any trouble outta my Camry other than the transmission but that's because they in a sense coupled the V6 with what should have been a 4cylinder transmission.

I drive it hard too and the trans is still like day 1. just make sure you go full synthetic oil . I started full synthetic at 100k. you can see it on the cars for sale page. it's silver with black rims lowered on tein springs. enjoy man it will last forever.

    I thought about the XRS but we didn't have one on the lot here at work and I loan my DD to my mom sister and girlfriend a lot when I take their cars to work and detail them get them worked on. Plus I like having an automatic for a daily. Thanks for the kind words boys.

    LOL my sister and mother know how to drive a manual but aren't great at it. My girlfriends refuses to drive any of my cars that are 5spd cause she don't wanna break them she says.

    I found a couple pictures of a turbo'd '10. Although that's not for everybody. I mean, I DD a turbo'd car, but not everyone likes it.

    If I do anything besides the few select plans I have it wont be for another two years when my warranty expires. Only plans are to tint (√), window visors (√), a rear window visor, lower it a little on TRD springs, and put on a Borla muffler.
