    My mechanic had a Toyota camry in his shop. Don't remember what year but it was an old one that looks like a shoe box. It was in beautiful shape looked brand new inside and out. He told me he had done the maintence on it for the past 7 years just regular maintence. The owner brought it to him to replace for the first time the rear shocks because they had a little bounce. The car had over 500,000 miles and nothing more than regular maintence. He also said she drove it like an old lady.
    Watched a video after that of a mechanic who said we get a new car and drive it like a race car and wonder why they brake down. Think about it. If a race car driver just got a new car to race on the track, first thing he does is put it in the shop and tweeks it getting it ready to race maybe some mods. Right after the race its back in the shop to check everything over and do maintence before the next race to keep it in tip top racing condition. Do we do that after racing it around every day. No we get it home and put it up wet as they say. Then we wonder why it breaks down. We abuse our conveyances instead. Made sence to me.

I actually didn't drive it nicely. Some of those Mercedes diesel engines run forever. I knew a guy that had Mercedes diesel. I forgot what engine but he had about 400000 miles on it.

      @AlbanyAudioVideo no, alloy wheels just aren't as flimsy as what people say. When I owned my tdi and my mini they came with thin 45 series 17" tires. I replaced them both with 55 series 16" tires. That slight increase in thickness didnt reduce cornering at legal speeds. It did increase mpg, shortened breaking distance, improved wet/snow handling, ride comfort improved. In my opinion a small hatch or sedan simply does not need 17"+ wheels. 16" did better on my 03 v6 tiburon too. That car cornered way better

    They say Corollas are overpriced and not awe-inspiring, but I rented one once, when I had a 90-minute drive from airport to my final destination. Nifty little 5-speed. If I were on the market for a small car that sips gas and performs well on the highway, I'd look for a used Corolla. Just what you need. Nothing you don't need. Spare interior that maximizes the cargo room for such a small body.
    Corolla made me think of Datsun B210's, which were kind of the same idea. Ridiculous gas mileage for their time. More little things went wrong with the B210s, though. More things needed fixing, sooner.

    I bought an 09 Corolla Model S with 200k miles on it to have something to drive while I was between sports cars. A mechanic at my shop of choice bought cars at auctions, fixed them up in his spare time, then resold them. It ran perfectly, got great mileage, and had a JBL audio system that sounded amazing, beat Bose hands down. It was no sports car but it was peppy enough to get onto the freeway. I would have kept it longer except for the fact that the seats didn't fit me and after about 60 miles my back started to hurt. I sold it after I bought a 350Z. The guy I sold it to later told me it was the best car he'd ever had.

    Scotty. We are both in our 70s and want a second vehicle. New 2024 truck 4wd. Top choice today would be nissan frontier and second choice tacoma. We do not care about the price but only about reliability and comfort for those very long freeway days interstate. We are cash buyers and want reliability. What would be your first pick and trim level?

    The deal with the Toyota CVT is they have an actual 1st. gear to cut down on initial chatter/vibrations that cvt's usually have starting from a stop. I'm thinking most cvt's will have that shudder in reverse because it is in the nature of cvt's on starting out from a stop.

I am going for 1 million kilometers. I once had a mercedes with about 900,000 km. Do the maintenance, use toyota parts, drive with care and a decent car will take you 200,000 kilometers easy.

    This is a good example for if you take care of a CVT (change the fluid regularly and don't drive it hard) it can last (at least most of them particularly those from Honda and Toyota -- Nissan and others it probably doesn't matter, although I know a few people who have managed to get their NIssans to a decent 150k+ miles with the original CVT). I'm still not sold on the CVTs (even the Toyota ones, even though they've been making them for the past 20+ years or so). Maybe in another 5 years or so we will have ones that can be just as reliable as the normal geared transmissions and can easily go 300k miles. Then I might buy one. But so far, with the average life only being about 150-200k I'm still not convinced (plus when they DO go bad, you have to basically buy another one since people really don't rebuild CVTs that I'm aware of -- at least it's not as feasible from a cost standpoint as it would be with a geared transmission perhaps where you might very well get another 200-300k out of a rebuilt geared transmission).

    Why can't these car manufacturers leave well enough alone and keep the geared transmissions? That's what most people would prefer, I would venture. You can't even get a manual transmission in most makes these days. These so-called gas saving measures don't really deliver that much of a difference in most cases. I've got a 2009 Toyota Corolla that has 230,000 miles plus on it, and it features a manual transmission. I will drive that car until it won't drive anymore!

    I absolutely love the 1.8l, I’ve owned a 2009 (Totaled) and 2016 (traded in on a 2017 to get adaptive cruise) and now of course a 2017 Corolla SE. these cars are extremely underrated, no they are not speed demons but it does get out of its way decent. It’s just a little sluggish from a stop. I love the adaptive cruise control, the Softex seats are very comfortable and the rear seat has 41 inches of leg room. Which is roughly the same as a Kia Telluride. How many sedans will have the same amount of legroom as a SUV? It has automatic climate control, lane departure warning (2017 and up)
    I’m happy to see a CVT can get high miles, my 2017 has 125k miles. The cars had it second transmission fluid service the other day so keeping my fingers crossed! Good seeing over 200k on this car with even no fluid changes! I’m in a Corolla group on Facebook and that’s pretty routine honestly.
    The only issues I have ever had with any of my corollas is an alternator went out on my 2009 and recently my 2017 needed a front left wheel bearing. Comparing this to my Chevrolet cobalt I had that blew a head gasket I am more than happy to replace a wheel bearing 😂😂
