Toyota Corolla 2008 Blue

Review of the car owner Toyota Corolla 2008 I read the reviews and comments, and decided to share my experience of owning a king. I will try to be more objective and less emotional. He owned up to Toyota VAZ 21043, VAZ 21099, GAZ 3110, VAZ 21124. And now he grew up to a foreign car. Had a chance to ride on many things and our car and foreign. First I thought about a Honda Civic sedan. I liked the car. 140 h.p. full-fledged 5 steps. automatic machine, but the dealer did not have it, and wait 4-6 months. did not want. Opel Astra did not like either inside or outside, and the assembly of Russia. Mitsubishi Lancer is handsome in appearance, but the plastic inside is oak and the consumption of the variator is too large, and there are still many negative reviews about reliability. Skoda Octavia is good, solid, solid, but I fucking forgot about it. In Toyota, they bribed Toyota's proven reliability in general, and a calm, suitable appearance for everything. Despite a lot of curses towards the robotic checkpoint, I took it, since there is no automatic machine at all, and s Toyota Corolla 2008 Blue witching manually in the city is boring, and my wife is not friends with the mechanics, and sometimes I can drink while visiting. If there are problems and breakdowns, the dealer will eliminate it under warranty - the main plus of the new car. I took a new car from an official. dealer in a complete set of comfort, because I drive cars while the warranty is valid, and the basic equipment is easier to sell with less loss of money. The load was given a discount card with a discount for LUKOIL. Fully assembled in Japan. Now, actually, about the car. The dynamics noticeably loses to the Civic and Lancer, the effect is a smaller number of horses and delays when switching the box. Even a Lada Priora can be the first to leave a traffic light. But on the highway at a speed of acceleration is quite good up to 160 (no more acceleration). It's a pity we are not supplied with more powerful versions. At the slightest opportunity, the robot tries to switch up, and if a sharp acceleration is necessary, a second is lost until it jumps down again. Fortunately, there is a sport mode and paddle shifters, which somehow makes it possible to drive more dynamically if necessary. But at a speed of 90, the car accelerates quite briskly even on the 5th. The city is annoyed by the frequent jabs of the box during switching both up and down (I got used to it for almost a year, until I learned to smooth them with the work of the gas pedal). The wife of the Peugeot 207 is also on the robot, so the box shifts there softer than many machines, you can notice the moment of switching to another gear only by the tachometer and the sound of the engine, no pokes or nods. But the suspension is much ahead of the competition in terms of comfort. It is significantly softer on bumps than the Civic and Lancer, and at the same time does not allow large rolls in corners and buildup at speed, like the Elantra. But when driving on the highway at a speed of more than 100, it drives slightly in a rut and sometimes you have to steer, in the same Peugeot 207 this is not, even at 150 it goes exactly like an arrow. The steering wheel and brakes are quite adequate, although the brake pedal seems a bit long to me. Another plus before classmates are the silence in the cabin. Plastic does not creak on bumps, the wind does not make noise at speed, the engine does not roar. Only after 100 km / h the tires become audible (I want to change to softer ones). In the cabin there are a lot of all sorts of niches, pockets and glove compartments where you can put various rubbish. But Corolla loses noticeably to Lancer in the back space. Tall passengers will not sit down at ease. The driver's seat is very comfortable for me, almost any person can pick up the position (adjustable in height), there is no fatigue with 3-4 hour trips, I have not traveled anymore. The trunk is simply huge (450 liters), everything that is needed will fit, and there will still be space for the unnecessary. I was very upset by the standard audio system with speakers "made in China", which does not play but squeaks and sniffs - not solid for Toyota, and the radio tape recorder does not have an output for an amplifier, and in order to achieve a good sound it must be completely changed. The trip computer control button is not conveniently located (on the instrument panel under the steering wheel), which Japanese fellow put it there.
