Would have liked to hear a little about the AT version. I'm guessing that many (if not most) sold will be AT's.

It's a CVT. Many will tell you it's a good one, but in the end it's a CVT.

Well, might be OK for this application. Today's CVT's have come a long way from where they started. Anybody remember the Subaru Justy?

It's a CVT with a real first gear.  I'd wager in normal use you wouldn't be able to tell its a CVT at all.

Doesn't your daughter have a Rogue? It would have a CVT?
It's okay for your daughter but not for you. I get it.

I'd take that bet

I can see this replacing our Civic, IF they bring AA to it.

AA?

La réparation, qui sera effectuée gratuitement par les ateliers Toyota, pourrait prendre jusqu’à 10 heures
Par Daniel Rufiange , 2018-12-20


Les produits Toyota sont généralement très fiables, un fait prouvé par les innombrables enquêtes menées à gauche et à droite sur la fiabilité. Cependant, la firme n’est pas à l’abri d’un pépin, loin de là, et le dernier rappel annoncé par l’entreprise à propos de la Corolla Hatchback 2019 en est une preuve irréfutable.

Le problème décelé avec ce modèle concerne les versions équipées de la transmission à variation continue (CVT). Le convertisseur de couple de ces dernières serait enclin à briser. Le cas échéant, une perte des capacités motrices de la voiture s’en suivrait.


« Une telle perte de motricité alors que l’on circule à une vitesse élevée peut augmenter le risque d’un accident. »

- Communiqué Toyota

Les techniciens des ateliers Toyota vont remplacer la transmission des quelque 3400 véhicules 2019 qui sont pour l’instant touchés par cette campagne. Le temps de réparation est estimé à 10 heures. Le constructeur est présentement en attente des pièces pour aller de l’avant avec cette dernière. Les propriétaires devraient être contactés à compter de la mi-février.

Pour l’instant, nous ne détenons pas l’information sur le nombre de modèles concernés au Canada. Vous pouvez toujours communiquer avec votre concessionnaire ou Toyota Canada afin d’obtenir plus de renseignements.

Nous vous communiquerons l’information lorsqu’elle nous sera disponible.

Good that they caught it, and are taking swift action to remedy the issue. All makers goof, it’s their response to making it right that I really care about.

Happy to see there are more hatches available now.  Would be nice if more wagons became available.  A comparo in the spring would be really be great.  The new gen 2019 Mazda3, up against the pretty new 2019 Toyota Corolla, the great (but aging) VW Golf, the Civic, Cruze (maybe diesel), one of the Koreans, maybe the Elantra GT.  G

Tall order to fill, but I bet it would be a good read.

On a side note, it seems the Corolla hatchback does not have a sunroof?  Not really an issue for me.  But looking at a vehicle down the road for my wife, surprised I don't see it.  Maybe I missed it?

[dirtyjeffer]

we need that new Corolla Wagon Hybrid...looks great and would be miserly on fuel.

[johngenx]

For all the CUV hype, there's actually a decent segment of compact sedans and hatches.  It's possible to spend $20-22K and get a lot of car!  You get a ton of safety features, surprisingly abundant convenience items and even some luxury touches. I'm so impressed that things like radar cruise and lane departure, etc, have made it into this segment and without adding much to the price.  It took a lot longer for ABS to creep down.

I read an article lamenting the rising cost of buying a new car with the average transaction now creeping close to $40K. The reality if that you can spend not much more than half that and get something very, very good. People are choosing to spend more, they're not facing a market forcing them to drop $40K. Not even close.

And some of these cars are big inside. A Corolla sedan is a Camry of yesterday

If GM wants to sell them, they better adjust their strategy.  Like the Koreans, 0% financing up to 10 years or whatever the hell it is.

No it is discontinued. Remember the plant closures?

You'll be able to get them at a discount soon.

You'll be able to get them cheap soon.

The Cruze sedan which is/was built in Lordstown Ohio is discontinued. The Cruze hatch which is built in Coahuila Mexico is not discontinued.
