Toyota Corolla parts reviews

Toyota Corolla (2017) gets 30/36 mpg and cost $13K with 80K miles on it. Insurance $100/month for maximum coverage. I have had it since 2019 and have never had any maintenance except spark plugs (once), battery (once) and tires (once), and oil changes. So I have spent maybe $1000 on maintenance in 6 years.

Pilkinton/AGC are mighty fine.

My relative works for AGC (a direct competitor) and calls the glass “very good”. Moreover, I have it on my Corolla and I see no difference to the OEM. Actually, I’d argue much better than the EU original Sisecam.

I would definitely avoid Fuyao.

Reliable as hell, I found one negative but it's mostly my opinion. The tires are great but I believe it can be excellent. I wanted to swap out the tires with Michelen Cross Climate 2 tires for crazy grip in rain.

Wonderful ride quality and gas mileage with the hybrid. Running the OEM continental tires

I’ve been happy with the 0w20 in my 1.8l Corolla.

I just did both on my 2005 corolla last week and it was $42 for both parts and 15 minutes of my time. Wpuld jave been $196 at budget near me.

I bought a set of 4 Joyroad RX808 Winter tires for 280$ in November 2024. I needed them for my 2006 Corolla CE. We had a mix of snow and ice storms in Montréal this year and these tires were much better than my previous set of Goodyear tires which cost $195 each. Excellent grip while driving and braking both on snow and ice. I could drive right out of small snow drifts (the Corolla isn't that high).

I’m getting slotted stop tech rotors for my 09 Corolla XRS. Gonna hit some back roads, I’m a very aggressive driver and and very hard on my breaks, also want to do hard backroad driving, so I will benefit from the slotted rotors.

I have the previous version of these Michelin wipers on the driver side and the new one on the passenger side of my wives car. Had it for a couple of months. I haven't noticed an issue, but the build is worse. It's going to get wrecked by ice buildup whereas the previous model had beefier design. The new mounting clip also wasn't as good, but it worked well enough.

My 1 year, \~6K miles Aisin WPT-108 pump failure story:

I have a 4A-FE Corolla E11. Changed timing belt, auxiliary belts, tensioner+spring, the whole lot last summer. The waterpump (Aisin WPT-108) was from a reputable online shop here in Europe (Autodoc). Last week I come to find the new pump dripping from the lower weep hole, so its the whole timing belt job all over again pretty much. No wierd bearing sounds. I did 6K miles last year if that.
