Our Cars (dream or actual)
-
dad had one for rental when he came over to visit me.
Thanks man - I’ll be honest, I would have never even looked at a Carolla, but I begrudgingly was given a 2018 as a rental last weekend and by the end of 400 miles I was looking at the new ones online.
I believe the 2019 has a new (larger) engine and I’m keen on the manual option and the aggressive styling on the XSE with the big wing.

unfortunately, i don't think the 2L engine will have much difference. the 1.8L hybrid is where the difference lies. something along the lines of porsche hybrid in the 918 where the low end hybrid and top end combustion engine works together. unfortunately that hybrid drivetrain is only available with an automatic.
that said, the hybrid is the first western corolla i've driven. i can't compare the non hybrid 1.8 to the 2.0l as i've never driven the old 1.8l. dad's corolla in singapore (yes a corolla that costs more than an c63 amg) is a 1.6l and it's an absolute hell (bad CVT tuning i'm guessing) just trying to pick up speed..

@den1mhead i can't say i've heard much about that ECU. but i suppose it's something that's been quite prevalent with SCR and they've been using them a lot on the cars they work on.. the couple that i'm more familiar with are cobb and haltech..
are you gonna be at the IH forum 10th anniversary this year?

Was thinking of an RS4 Avant. We have the van for big wood….
RS4 Avant - a very "sensible" car [emoji6]

in that case make it a 6! it's one of the fastest accelerating car i've come across so far.. that launch control is something else.. not quite a fan of the new v6 in the 4 and 5 versions..
i'd convince you of a bmw, but they don't do wagons at that level. what about a panemera?

I own an S4 Avant. It's a very good way of getting from A to B with stuff quickly, and great to live with on a day to day basis, especially on poor roads in the winter.
