Sir, how is your experience so far ?

Experience is good so far, I am enjoying the drive. The drive is smooth and silent. I am thinking whether to go for a body kit or not. Its in bronze mica and I am not sure if the body kit will look okay on it. Any suggestions?

The bad part is someone while cleaning or intentionally have put a few scratches on my car bonnet. They are deep enough, not taken off the paint but they are still there. I have tried using scratch out on them but they are still there. Not sure how to get rid of them.

Here a small correction if you go for 205/55 then Rim size MUST be R16

I have Michellin Pilot Sport 3 205/55/16. Tyres still have 85 to 90 percent tread.

Janab, its good to read about your wonderful experience. About the body kit, I don't recommend it. As i have seen quite many Corollas (Medium Silver, Super White) having these body kits. Sadly, all of them have the color mismatch issue. But, if you feel like getting one, its your call.

This is really bad, try to get some information regarding this from Senior Members. I am sure someone will help you get rid of them.
Insha Allah. !

If someone did this intentionally (very common occurrence these days), i can only pray for the betterment of his mental health. These rotten souls should join some rehabilitation center, ASAP.

If it was unintentional, then i suggest you should wash your car yourself (I wash mine almost every week). Don't even take it to the Service Stations. Those people are highly un-professional as they use the same cloth for everything. It's better to drive a dirty car then to get it scratched from these jerks.

I was checking this comparison on youtube from Autoguide 2014 US. It was between Civic 2014 and Corolla 2014. And winner was ... Corolla 2014 due to better fuel economy, leg room (front and rear passenger), road noise, smoother tranny. Check this out...

Thanks for the suggestions man.

Dear hasan.Danish,

I have bought Gli 2014 and am looking for some dealer who has the infotainment system of Grande being sold separately. The 3S dealers are selling it at a very high price so I want to try my luck and reach the supplier.

Can you please share brand name of the infotainment system? Also, the user manual would have contact details of the authorized dealer in Pakistan.

Appreciate your help pls.

Congratulations buddy. Yes, you are right these dealers are asking a lot for the Info-Sys. There is no brand mentioned on the device itself. But from the Service Manual i was able to extract the following information.

Model Name: RR-HI 8001
Customer Care Email: services@tecnopack.com.pk
Tel Number: 021-34301101-7

You can check aliexpress.com, there are lots of android based systems in there ranging from 350-500 dollars. They are not the same as Grande, all are Chinese made btw.

A worker at Toyota Capital told me that it's hardly a 5 minute job. One just has to adjust the nuts properly, will get it fixed soon.

CONGRATULATIONS on the car and enjoy it! Drive safe and long!

Before I say anything, we only have Toyotas in house...

This trunk alignment issue was present in Toyota Altis 2013 model of a cousin. He was not the first owner though. Once he took the car to Toyota Capital, they refused to fix it in "Warranty". I think he should have taken a stern position with them esp. since they were asking him questions like "Did you have an accident?/Did you bump it with something from the rear?"

He then took it to some local 'dentar-wala', who fixed it by a hammer..... no nuts adjustment could correct the issue according to the denter.

I have not checked the topic completely whether it has been fixed or not but if it has not been fixed then make sure you do it through Toyota and take a stern position about it if they start making excuses. Write to high management/even Toyota Japan about the issue if they do not solve it.

Trunk issue can be resolved in 15 minutes with hydraulic jack. Just a gentle push and trunk is aligned with the lid and lights. Toyotas have very soft rear.

Yes, this will be a cost effective solution. One more thing, try to buy some casing as well which will be used to mount that android tablet in the dashboard. I am sure there will be some sort of assembly available online. Else, it wont be of any use.

Thank you.

Yes, you are right this trunk alignment issue has plagued the last two Generations of Corolla. When i was getting my Car from the showroom, the manager himself admitted this thing. Plus all 2014 Corollas that were present that day, had this problem. Anyhow, what i have noticed is that the my right light was not properly aligned. At first, when i used to open/close my trunk the process was not smooth. But with the passage of time/repeated use it has become a lot better, so is the alignment. Still, there is a difference but its almost negligible now. When i went for my for my First Check-up, the mechanic suggested to use the notorious "hammer" technique to align the trunk lever. But i refused.
