Toyota Problems

Batteries for 2007-2018 11th-generation Corollas have basic dimensions of 234mm (long), 129mm (wide) and 201mm (tall, without terminals). They need approximately 430CCA (cold cranking amps). A Century NS60LS is reported to be a direct replacement for the original Toyota battery.

Toyota's Coaster mini-bus is 6990mm tip-to-tail.

Toyota Corollas are sold with both automatic and manual transmissions.

Either one would do the job, but I would choose the Forester over the RAV4, it’s a better all round all-wheel drive that should serve your son well.

As a front-wheel drive passenger car designed for urban roads, the Corolla can be driven in very light snow conditions so long as the driver takes precautions, like lowering their speed and watching for ice. However, the Corolla isn't really the ideal car for regular trips to the snow, or for driving in deep snow. While Toyota's all-wheel-drive RAV4 model is more at home in snow, the best model for regular snow driving is the heavy duty Prado or LandCruiser models which have proper 4x4 drivetrains and all-terrain tyres better suited to slippery snow conditions.

Check the fuel pump, also the injectors, and have a diagnostic check done.

 The Toyota Coasters sold in Australia are rear-wheel-drive, not 4x4. There are companies which specialise in building 4x4 Coasters, however.

A Toyota Coaster with a manual transmission weighs in at 3715kg, while the automatic gearbox-equipped Standard model comes in at 3765kg. The Deluxe model comes in at 3780kg.

I would consider the best Corolla to be the one with the most amount of features as it will - arguably - make driving a more enjoyable, easier experience. To this end, the extra features found in the ZR model over the Ascent and SX trims will mean not only will you enjoy driving the car, but your passengers will find themselves in a nicer space.

Toyota rates their latest Corolla's fuel efficiency at 6L per-100km, which is impressive given the 126lW 2.0-litre motor in the new model.
