There was one in Tempe Tyres the other week getting 22" rims on it.
In that dark grape colour ... didn't look half bad from the back of it ... the front is a different story.

I read the specs on it ... for once (even for Toyota) ... they put in a decent sized engine in it ... would punt along fairly well I reckon.

It does go pretty well... 2.4L in something as big as a Corolla. It's not too bad at all.

i thought so...this was only a few weeks after i bought it, so i saw the potential sweet photo coming. lowest kays of any car i've ever had bar 1...which i had to sell at 98,000kms...would have loved to have seen the 6 figures roll up.
but 123456 might just be cooler

In that case...

I've only seen the light come on twice on my EF. Both times, I was bone dry.
