Default Re: My turn... '09 Corolla XRS

OK, so I still havent gotten good pictures of the 'rolla yet. Maybe tomorrow after I wash it.

So far everything seems to be holding up well. I havent found anything out of place or anything needing fixing.

I must say that my particular car's transmission is odd... well different from any other stick I've ever driven. No matter what I do, when I open the clutch to shift to the next gear, the RPMs jump up a little and settle back down. Maybe I've just never noticed it in other vehicles...

I filled up tonight also. 278.5 miles and 8.99gal of gas... 30.9MPG! Very nice. It was a little less than $30 to fill up. MUCH better than $40 for half a tank in the Tundra. About 80 of those miles were interstate while the rest were country mile roads. It did a lot better than I was expecting... and I havent really been driving it too easy either.

On another note, I think I'll be adding a sub in the trunk. The stock 8 speaker JBL system has good over all quality of sound, but lacks a little in bass.

The thing also warms up pretty quick in 35 degree weather. It hasnt been too crazy cold though, so that also might be why.

A/C is good on the car... but then again, its not too hot out either. lol
