The only weak spot were the tires. The OEM Yokohamas inspired zero confidence so they were removed and sold. The cars is super comfortable, uses regular gas and the clutch/Shifter feel are great. LED lighting is a really nice touch as well
Reviews of spare parts for Toyota Corolla
Brand new Aisin clutch kit from autozone
I put the car version of these on our Corolla last year before we sent it to our kid in CT last fall -- they said the car was great all winter, plus you can use them all year 'round. They just called us after someone blew a stop sign and pulled right out in front of them and said the car was able to stop so hard that everything flew into the dashboard which is the opposite of the Continental LRR tires that came on it where the ABS would just click uselessly on dry pavement. I didn't get to drive on them very much before we shipped the car up there, but they feel like a regular all-season tire, not a squirmy snow tire. I did pay $10 extra to get the V-rated version for a little extra stiffness.
P.S. this same Toyota dealership told me I needed a new air filter upon which I told him, “It’s a K&N...” he said oh, and walked back into the garage.
I had Generals on my 2012 Corolla for a few years with no abnormal wear issues. They’re quality tires.
By far, the most effective headlights are made by new (2017+) Toyota/Lexus. Even a lowly $18,000 USD Corolla has headlights brighter, better aimed, and far-er shining than many $100k+ Italian, German, and British cars.
Some shitty Achilles tires to Falken RT-615s.
I put the Premieres on my wife's Corolla and they are really amazing in the wet. We took it up Sandia Peak in Albuquerque a few weeks ago to catch the sunset, then it started raining on the way down. I tried to get it to understeer on some of the switchbacks just to see how much grip was left and couldn't get it to slide. They are not super sporty/firm and the steering response is a little slow in the H-rated version but overall I have been really happy with them.
A few days ago I put Bosch Excel+ on my sister's 2006 Corolla and they were like 13 bucks each. It was $30 including tax for both of them.
Tried aftermarket rotors on my Toyota corolla. Warped them twice within 6 months. Used cheapies from orielly's. Put Toyota rotors on, been fine ever since.
