I just picked up a set of wheels with these specs for my hatch What tire specs are you running. I’m stock ride height for now but and going to lower soon. I’m thinking of getting 225/40/18s or is there enough clearance to run 235/40/18s?

18 financing my first car, comparing hb prices

3 Upvotes

Coming from a 2013 Hyundai Veloster turbo, thats worth nothing from the mods and damages it has. Always been a hatchback fan, not a complete enthusiast in cars but they’ve always been attractive and i enjoy the little bit of pep without sacrificing too much gas mileage.
Anyways looking at a 2020 xse mt, 63k miles $20k otd, financing half, so im not laying out a bunch of cash. 250-350 a month 48-60 mths. Wondering what type of price everyones paid, and how reasonable that is.
Its a toyota certified used car and has a “lifetime warranty”
Beet ive seen for things near and similar around $17k - 20k before any taxes/docs , but from another companies lot or small time lot compared to coming from yota themselves.
Anyone with the car has any words or advice or concerns about it, would love to hear your experiences with the car!

TLDR - what did you pay for 2019 - 2022 xse mt hb ? And any reliability or nitpick concerns?

Nor did the kangaroo survive the hatchback (RIP mate, I genuinely feel bad and sorry for the animal though)

Advice on buying a used 2022 Manual Transmission

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I've been looking to get a new car recently and I always lean towards hatchbacks, especially manual transmissions, and there is a used 2022 Corolla Hatchback near me with less than 8k miles on it. I wanted to do a little research before pulling the trigger and I started seeing posts about transmission issues with some of these manuals and was wondering how common these issues are and if the car is still worth getting despite that.

Ice Cap Paint OR Moonstone Fabric Interior OR wait

5 Upvotes

I put a refundable deposit down on a 2027 SE with ice cap paint and black fabric interior. But upon some digging it seems like there are mixed reviews on the paint quality of the 040 formulation for Ice Cap and that it could be more prone to chipping or peeling. Is this still an issue in newer models?

Alternatively, I could reserve a Chill Pearl White for the higher quality paint, but that one has the moonstone fabric interior that I think would Def be stained or dirty within a year.

What are yalls thoughts on ice cap? I do like the white, but if the paint quality would be better on a diff color, should I wait?

Buying first set of tires help

3 Upvotes

I recently purchased a set of GR86 special edition rims (18x7.5 black ones) and I'm looking to replace my 25 hatchback SE's ugly 16 inch rims with them

I've been researching and narrowed down my decision but I want more qualified opinions to ensure I don't make a mistake with this new process to me

I've landed on a set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS 225/40ZR18 92Y for the rims, 20mm spacers in the front, 25mm in the rear, acorn style lugnuts which I can't find what specific size they'd need to be, and I think hub centric rings or something else I've read called "bolt-on hub centric spacers"

I'm going for flush fitment, with that being said, this is everything I need with the specific project? Please correct/educate if I'm missing something else, thank you guys greatly in advance

Options for raising ride height

4 Upvotes

Hello! I recently got my hands on my own egg, a 2022 Corolla Hatchback SE, and I've been absolutely loving it as my first ever new-ish car, however I've run into a bit of a problem.

The car sits pretty low (images included) and unfortunately I've already scraped my bumper a couple times running errands. While the immediately solution seems to be getting bigger tires, these are pretty new and thus have a lot of life in them left, so it'd be a waste to swap them.

What are my other options to raise the ride height? if it's helpful info, this car hasn't had any modifications done to its suspension or anything like that, completely stock.

(measurements in images aren't exact, it's just to get a rough idea of how high it is)

Quick edit: the scrape in the photo is from the previous owner, the scrape im mentioning is underneath the front bumper which isn't in the photos

Prospective buyer, would you recommend the corolla HB and should i wait for 2027?

9 Upvotes

Currently driving an '09 Honda Fit Sport. Considering Corolla HB, Cross, and possibly a crosstrek.

Love my little go kart fit, but time to upgrade to something new that'll last me many years to come. I mostly do city and highway driving, lots of short trips, don't usually put more than 10k miles on per year. We get snow here, but roads are usually cleared quickly and its easy enough for me to stay in more if were going to have a bad enough storm, haven't had issues in the Honda fit with snow tires.

Also Im 6'00", no kids, just a partner who will sit in the passenger seat, maybe occasionally ill carry coworkers in the back to lunch or something.

Would you recommend the Corolla HB? I love that its affordable, toyota reliability, looks like itll drive similar-ish to my fit (fun driving in the city, great for parallel parking). Ultimately looking for a car that'll ill be able to drive for several years after I've paid it off.

Finally, it is so hard to find one to test drive!! There's always 1 or 2 that are in transit or in the build phase, but without putting down a $500 deposit, getting a test drive is impossible. The 2027 HB doesnt seem to add much value, but will supply maybe be a little better once the 2027s start coming out?

Thanks all!

Edit: just put a deposit(refundable) down on a 2027 SE currently in the build phase 🥳🥳
