    • Hello, I was interested in the 1969 Corona owners manual and if it was still available. My 15 daughter just bought a 1969 Corona project car that we will be working of and getting ready for her 16th birthday.    if it’s still available we might be interested in purchasing it. Thank you    Marc
    • Since 1979 most of my cars and SUVs have been manual transmissions. Same with the 2007 Tacoma I traded in for a 2010 Camry. One thing that disappointed me about automatics is their tendency to 'hunt' gears on an uphill grade. I'm finding the 6A transmissions S mode, can alleviate that, at least to a point by selecting, for example 4th gear. It may be in 4th a bit longer than necessary, but I don't like when there's an upshift, then an immediate downshift which occurs on some  hills on my commute.   With this automatic transmission, I don't miss a manual. I'll also admit, modern automatics typically return better fuel economy than manual transmissions.                                             
    • I've got a 1993 Corolla with a gray interior. I am trying to find seats, or at least seat covers, that are original. I'd be grateful for any help.
    • First time owner of a Toyota we ordered in 2022 waited 9 months for our 2023 Highlander Limited to be delivered. What a disappointment this car has been after 1 year of driving. This car is so over engineered in all the wrong areas. There are so many areas to cover it would require a book the size of the owners manual. First and foremost the car requires you to have a phone with you and linked to your car to be able to have audio and navigation. Yep, Android Auto or Apple iOS because after 1 year introductory trial Toyota requires owner to pay a monthly subscription fee for onboard navigation. This is complete crap! When you pay the crazy price for a new vehicle today the navigation should be life using the vehicles onboard satelite antenna and not require a monthly subscription fee.  Second the car does not recognize the driver by the key fob. Again in order to be recognized the car requires you to have your mobile phone with bluetooth enabled and linked to the cars entertainment center. Well what if I don't have a smart phone? You can drive the car as a "guest"!!! Next on my list of gripes, when you by a new vechicle you should be able to configure the car to your driving preference. Entirely too many sensors alarming everytime I back into my garage to the point the sensors and alarms are useless. who needs this is maybe a new driver or someone who truly can't see? Now, you can disable these annoying sensors but now your dashboard has a bunch of idiot lights on display everytime the car is running to remind you that you have disabed sensors. This is just crazy. Car owners should be able to configure their vehicles to operate to their driving preference without monthly subscription Fees$$ for a service to use technology they bought and paid for and without the requirement of having a mobile phone linked to the cars media center.  I continue my frustration with the quality of the Toyota key fob. Our key fob battery had to be replaced in less than 1 year time which is crazy. We have american made Ford vehicle with a smart key fob in which the battery lasted over 5 years before we replaced it. Additionally the Toyota key fob (or smart key) has a terrible range where you need to be within 50 feet of the vehicle for the vehicle to recognize the Key.  Our Ford previoiusly mentioned has a range of about 200 yards and could be further.  One more issue I have with our Toyota is there is no way to mechanically start our Highlander in case the key fob battery dies. There is a mechanical key located inside of  the key fob but this mechanical key only unlocks the car doors. In a pinch, the mechanical key can also be used to open the key fob case to replace the key fob battery. According to Toyota if the key fob battery dies, you can use the mechanical key to unlock and gain access to the car then hold the smart key fob to the cars start button to start the car. I don't trust this notion and we now keep a spare CR2032 battery in our Toyota console just in case. Our Toyota Highlander is a little noisy driving down the road. You hear a sound of wind and not sure this is caused by the R & L side mirror placement of just poor weather sealing around the doors and windows. I have gotten use to this noise but rather then spend engineering resources on sensors and alarms, focus the engineers on making a quieter ride.  Car design is poorly done as well. The media center display should be more seamlessly integrated into the flow of the dash. Instead the display stands about 1 inch above the dash board. There is plenty of room to lower the height of the display, integrate into the overall dash height and remove the needless extra storage space that is below the storage and charging space.  Exterior car design could have much better lines, stream line and less boxy front end and grill.  I could probably go on but will stop my rant here. Sorry to say, very disappointed in Toyota. We paid $60k for our 2023 Highlander Limited Hybrid and what I thought would  be our last new vehicle. Now, we are seriously considering shopping for new vehicle to replace our car. :(
