In a way i can understand that the older model Corolla's are beautiful in there way but I have now owned my 2009 model for about 2 years and i am loving it and i tihnk u just learn to fall in love with what u drive and the new Corollas still have alot going for them just that the older ones have been here for alot longer for people too love... I think one day the new Corollas will have there little window of opportunity into the hot market... Not too mention i got my inspiration off seeing an 08 model beeing driven around and it looked sick as ... so yeah you definetly just gottta chooce a car that u love and the more work u do to it the more it becomes your car.

Yeah i know but you never know... and thing is there mostly all oldest threads ever... It's almost as if this site isnt that popular.. but there really isnt as many corolla fanatics that i wish there was.

Hey CJF I own a 2009 corolla zzre152 hatch i have fitted a genuine cruise control to my corolla and it wasnt too hard... i don't know if urs is the same model or not but if it is the same as mine u will have two outcomes.. 1 is that u will already have the right part in there and u just pop the stearing whell off and fit it in and it becomes another toggle next to ur sterring wheel... u don't need to do anything other then that... 2 if u are unfortunate your corolla may not have the rigth part and u have to buy the sterring mechanism thingo .. lol i forget what they call them... but simply u don't really have to do anything other then remove ur steering wheel. other then of course disconnecting your battery to ensure u don't get hit in that face with an airbag. :D

Hey Lachlan, I currently own a 2009 toyota corolla hatch!! Trust me man u wont regret it.. I bough tmine as a demo car and i loved it the first day i sat in it. and i still love it now 1 and a half years later. I'm not too sure what to say about your lights but what i can tell you is that the stereos are easy as to fit in... If u buy a genuine toyota stereo from another corolla. then its easy .. you just pop off a few of the interior parts arouns the stereo then unscrew 4 screws just like u have been told... comes straight out.. the only thing that u may have to look out for is that some of the stereos need diffewrent wires... depending on what u want.. When i bough tmy corolla i have just the standard ascent stereo in it but i have since then upgraded it with a genuine touch screen one that comes in the brand new corollas of today... I didnt need any new wires to start out with but the best thing about these stereos is they have plug and play reverse cameras and everything so if u went down that track they plug straight into the stereo. Performance wise.. It can be hard to make a modern day car go faster but the corollas are interesting... K and N filters are definetly probably ur best option... I am actually currently working on putting one on my car now aswell. If you know what your looking at under your bonnet u may be interested at looking at your intake.. If u folow it it comes out of the air filter and down into the front bumper but then curls around and goes straight back up into the engine bay and it is basically sucking in hot air.... I did a little bit of customization myself which i will upload some photos for you in two seconds... but all i did was got rid of some of the mounts that held the intake in place and i curled it right underneath so now it is sitting just in my grill.... It is like a forced cold air induction now its really cool. the only problem that i believe i will encotuner is that the air i will be inducting will be dirtier so i may need to change my filters a little more often then i usually would.. When it comes to speakers the corolla is a small car and so the stock ones seem to do the job but if u actually research it the stock ones are terrible.... If u take them out and actually look at the magnets u might even think to yourself .. " how do these things even make noise?" lol but in saying that i have big plans for my audio because i really want a complete alpine system through and through... will be a lot of money but it will sounds really nice once I'm finished with it.
