]]]]] Problems in New 2009 Corolla

[daniyalahmad]

^^ Didnt you read the starting post?
I guess you didnt,
So here Im repeating it for you.

Only Corolla owners comments will be accepted not honda fan boys or anti-corolla peoples.

[toofast edit] This is not a Corolla/Civic comparison thread. This thread will help future car buyers. I would recomemend same type of threads for Civic, Baleno or any other car owners too. All Civic or non Corolla owners please stay out of this thread. i will delete any stupid/unrelated replies from this thread. We need input from current gen. Corolla owners only. Thanks

@ wild fire,, totally agree with u ,, there should be a difference in shape ,, and i have corolla altis ,, the one and only thing i really dont like with car is is its SEATS they are really uncomfortable .......... previos honda model have really nice seats......

"corolla"s always been a "rolla" after all

Warning: I am a Honda Fan.

But we own a Corolla too. I don't suppose a brand new car (1 year used?) would give any problem. Be it any car..

Do people really start getting problems after 1 year with Corolla? Ours is 2010 though.. but we haven't faced any issues yet in this Alhamdulillah.

I don't know if its normal.

[BilalYusrat]

how are the brakes of gli? plz tell me because i like the car which has the best brakes, as gli has abs, ebd with brake assist.

They are very very jerky.

You hit the break and everyone touches either the dashboard or the front seats.

The car doesn't slip though, which is good, but these breaks are just too tight.

Thats why cars come with seat belt so every one does not hit dash boards

@haider 101
I think on the contrary this new corolla has one of the most comfortable seats of car i have ever ridden ...previous gen corolla had really bad seats ...may be it depends upon sitting style too

Its not normal to hit dashboard everytime to have to press the break, even if slightly.

Seat belts are made to avoid damages caused by abrupt breaking, not to keep you attached to the seat and save the jerk you get every once in a while.

Also, in the City this never happens, even if I break on a very very high speed. It does not jerk.

Well, personal experience to start with..

No its absolutely wrong. Gli's AC is super awesome. Its probably better than City's AC.

No its not true.
Its cooling and blow both are superb.
Even with the blower speed at 3 the cooling and the blow is great.

I am driving a Corolla since Jan 2005 and Al-Hamdolillah not a single issue has risen so far. Just normal maintenance and I love its AC and fuel economy and the way its passes from bumps, broken and unpaved roads without hitting its belly and shaking the occupants.

Love the overall package offered in new Gli.

@billal and danyal thanks for reply brothers ... !

@all
can any 1 tell me that the original power window kit which comes in gli and altis , my question is how much for that ? agar company say xli may power window or altis wooden interior kerwa ya jaiy to kitnay may ho jaie gaa ??? b/z market may to Chinese kit mill rehi hai power window ki jo 8k ki hai par uss ki koie life nahi ...

[daniyalahmad]

^^ No idea about the brand.
You must be able to get the original kit from any Toyota dealership but that will be very expensive.
You wont believe that the guys at the decoration shop of Toyota Rawal are selling the Altis Rims for 80k.

The problem of after market power windows is nothing. except the door rubber channels. If u need speedy power windows then change door channels as well. Company will cost 65000/ for this if they change channels. Otherwise they charge 20000/ for simple power windows. U can get these after market in 10000/ approx.

@ danyal and drtanveerali thanks for reply brothers !!!

My Gli is like a month old so far there is no known issue with it but I would like to share my experience regarding its ride;

Seats indeed are uncomfortable as someone mentioned these are more like kitchen stool.

Road grip I did not get much time to check on that as most of the time I drove it within city until today when I took a test run at 140 on airport road and I was scared like anything as I felt the car is swaying.( tires are GT)

Air conditioning is fairly good.

mileage is reasonably good as I do not feel the need of getting CNG.

I did not feel this car underpowered except it is hard to make the tires screech.

overall it is a good car at least head turner.

thanks

The statement is untrue as stated by other friends above..
However if someone insists, then tell him/her to clean or better replace the Cabin Air Filter which usually is clogged in most of the cars that i have seen. The process is explained in the thread linked below.
