Toyota Corolla 2008: Paint peeling
It’s the clear coat peeling away from the base colour coat and it’s quite common with the more environmentally friendly water-borne paints the industry has been using for a number of years now. Other than repainting affected panels there is nothing much you can do about it. You could talk to a local panel beater or spray painter for advice.

Toyota Corolla 2008: Specifications
I'm afraid the Corolla and Aurion are actually two separate models, but you'll find price and spec details on the 2008 Aurion here, and the 2008 Corolla here.
If you want a workshop manual I would suggest you google Toyota workshop manuals, or go to ebay.

Best first car options?
Do not buy a Cruze, or buy a European brand. They will prove costly. It's best to go for the cars that are well proven over many years. The Lancer is a good one, but so too is the Toyota Yaris or Corolla, Suzuki Swift, Mazda2 or 3, or Mitsubishi Colt.
