    I asked the service tech how much it would cost to change the CVT fluid in my 2017 IM, and he said I don't need to, since it's a "lifetime fluid." I told him, I don't believe that. A lifetime claim should come with a lifetime warranty to back it up.

    “Manual transmission.. bulletproof, zero problems” - a tear of joy just came to my eye, I’m glad to hear that. Just picked up one with 212k. It shifts so much nicer then my 2010 XRS 5-speed and it’s geared so much nicer. I don’t think I’ve ever had a car that I’ve been so happy with the gearing. Basically gears 1-5 are for accelerating, when you get to your desired highway speed pop it into sixth and enjoy really good fuel economy. It has pretty much no power when in sixth, but it just sips fuel! Beautiful

    great video, lots of information! 2014 Corolla here, did the recall on the CVT and I made a video how to change the fluid.. changed it twice so far. It's running perfectly now. First change improved a strange condition during very cold weather where the transmission would "shift" suddenly while decelerating to a stop, and cause a shudder. No other issues whatsoever so far!!

      @@Bravadodriver540Hi, 2014 Corolla still running great here, no transmission issues at all since the software update and changing the fluid. I've had to repair a gas tank cover that rusted out, and I had a oil leak at the filter housing, also due to rust. Other than that, it's normal wear and tear for the age of these models.. Shocks need replacement on mine, they don't absorb like they used to, the control arm bushings on this car tend to squeak so I'm going to replace the control arms as well. The calipers are super rusty (I'm in the rust belt) so I'll be installing new calipers also. At this age, rust starts to destroy the car. If it's a Florida car, it would still be a great buy, just make sure it's not very rusty if you get one. I only have 83000 miles, but miles don't matter when rust takes over. I've been getting mine rust proofed every 2-3 years and I feel like I should've done it every year. It's still in great shape and runs good, but if you're buying one in the 2014-2016 range, or high mileage, expect to spend some money on maintenance.. Coolant and CVT fluid should've been changed at least once by now (10 years), and if it wasn't it should be done right away. The engine and transmission are still running like new on mine, and I'm getting the same gas mileage as I did when new. Good luck with your search! They are great cars, but you have to be careful, and ideally have it inspected by a mechanic.

    Nice information. Mine is a 2014 Corolla LE with 155,000 km’s on it. Never had any mechanical issues. Very good fuel efficiency giving me 5.4 L/ 100 km on steady highway speeds (around 96km/hr). I occasionally hear the underarm bush clunk (as you said) which I don’t bother as my mechanic already made sure nothing is broken. Only problem I have is my both front door speakers stopped working around 100,000 km’s. Toyota quoted me around $650.00 to fix it stating it is the wiring issue and not speaker’s and so the wiring has to be replaced and the mechanic said, this is a common problem with 2014 and 2015 models. I never did this costly replacement as my front tweeters and rear speakers works perfectly and so I can still enjoy music and use Bluetooth. So nothing to worry about! It handles well with brutal Canadian winter driving conditions (I drove through many snow squalls and freezing rains. It drives sturdy with my Michellin X-Ice winter tires) I highly recommend this car!

I loved the car so much I just bought another Corolla but this one is a 2014. It ALSO makes the exact same creaking noise over my driveway lip and bumps! I was shocked!

    I have a 2016 Scion iM with 74k miles. Other than replacing the factory battery a month ago and replacing a bad tire sensor. I've had no issues with this car. The sport seats have been the most comfortable seats I ever had in any car I owned. Every car I've owned previously, back pain and my left leg going numb was always an issue on long drives. The countless road trips I've made with my iM; I never experienced discomfort.

    • @scottcline87
      @scottcline87 Рік тому +1

      I have the same 16 iM in manual with 106k now. Mine is leaking transmission fluid from the axle half shaft on the passenger side. I think it's very minor as I got it at 93k and still going strong. Owners manual is very vague on the fluid and dealerships just throw in any Valvoline or other fluid they can get. manual says 75w (??) Gl4 or other mt-lv fluid. I can get a synthetic mt-lv fluid for $25 a bottle (need 3) but just haven't fixed it yet.
      Horn just stopped working and my driver window sticks a little. Nothing too bad. I also use it for Uber so I put 150 miles about 3 nights a week on it. Tires were $800 due to the rim size on it but good for 70k. Overall I love the ride of it and the way it drives. The scion has a better pioneer unit that responds great with Bluetooth and sounds good.
      I love the seats too btw! I can drive for 6 hours straight before getting out. It still hurts my hips, but it's not excruciating like my '12 Mazda 3. Very comfortable and I get a lot of compliments on the car and the fact that it's a manual.

    Great video. I own both a 2015 Corolla s and a 2016 Corolla s plus. I love both of them. I wish Toyota would have left the design alone with the 2016 model year. I agree about the 17" low pro tires. They look good, but everything else about them I hate. I actually put 15" wheels on the 15, and it's way better.

    I have owned two of this generations of this Car. A 2016 LE and now a 2017 SE and I must say I am in love with the 17. I must say I have experienced the squeaking in the front in both of my corollas! It’s not all the time at all! I love the styling of the 17! It looks sharp!
    I changed boths CVT fluid at 60K and have not had any issues! I actually did not like the LE seats, I felt it had no lumbar support at all! These new SE Seats are defiantly more bolstered but I fit perfectly sitting in the seat.
    I got the 17 because I wanted the adaptive cruise control and I must say I have not had any issues with the system! I’m currently at 79k on my 17! I have a few warranties that fingers crossed should repair these issues if they ever come up!
    Overall this is a solid generation in my opinion! Thank you again car care but for any other amazing video

      My main issue was the price. It’s pretty hefty, $230 for my 16 several years ago and it was $299 when I did my 17 SE. no issue with the techs, more the dealership experience wasn’t the best

Very good informative information front a well trained and experienced Mechanic. Kudos to you. My other vehicle is one you don't get in the States. Its a 2013 model V8 4.5 liter single turbo Diesel 70 series Land Cruiser it's a fucking weapon. So now I will own the 2 most reliable current age vehicles on the Planet.

    I had an issue with my 2015 corolla s. At 10,000 the cvt trans failed. check engine light and lunged forward at a stop light almost pulling me through the intersection like the TC was locked. I had to throw it in neutral. it was also acting like it wanted to shift gears even though it didn't haver any lol. It was unsafe to drive. took it in to the dealer they replaced the trans. I drove it for 100,000 miles after that no issues but it was it was always still in the back of my mind on when and if it would fail again. good video

    Am a Toyota die-hard since 1975. Bought this car brand new at San Rafael, CA back in July 2016, have put 198,000 miles on it...not one single problem ever. Discovered a hidden feature that keeps the fuel consumption to brand new max just 3 months ago. Drives like a dream from day one. If I could find another factory new 2016 like it I would buy it again. Like I always say "If I could put a ring on this Camry I would.

I was thinking not to get a corolla coz of that. But my le doesn't give me any of those back and hip issues with the seat like you said. Very correct information.

Expensive but far less than a new tranny. Also keep any and all liquid away from that traction control button by your cup holder.

I must say very basic, no tire monitoring system, no window sensors, radio very basic no touch screen but works. One recall for air bag. The control arm bushing is starting to wear and it squeak when going over bumps. Other than that it's a lovely basic car but I must say under powered.

    Thank you for the video, I subscribed and gave a thumbs-up! I am just now buying a 2015 with 23k on it, and am changing all the fluids, period. So far, I've been able to give this car a 6k test drive, so all is good on this end. I like it, except for all the 'damned' head rests, that right I said it, they suck -- they can turn a man with a straight back into a hunched-back cheetah, because they push your head forward and down (I'm 5'10"), it constantly feels like someone is behind me pushing my head forward and down. Outside of that, my soon-to-be 'S" model will be a fine everyday driver. Anyone wanting a true-fast sports car, I suggest looking at other cars, for this is NO beast, but yet has nimble pickup for its' class.

    Something I didn't realize and feel confident with the toyota version CVT is that it's not the style with belts and pulleys that are notoriously problematic (i think most other brand CVTs are this way), but Toyota uses a PSD so it's similar to a regular transmission in that it is many gears/cogs working together.

    One other common failure is the touchscreen on the radio. Over time certain parts of the screen stop responding to touch. A have heard that the dealer solution is $1200 for a new radio. However, there are several videos on u tube that show how to replace the touch screen with a $16 part available on ebay and amazon. I went through the procedure and was able to fully restore the radio in about an hour.
