2005 Toyota Corolla Xrs Sedan 4-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Meridian, Mississippi, United States
|
Up for sale is my 2005 Toyota Corolla XRS. The XRS is Toyota's souped up version of the Corolla. With the same Yamaha 2ZZ-GE used in the Lotus Elise and a tight 6-speed manual transmission, this car is athletic and zippy. The suspension is lowered and tightened at the factory, giving her sure and nimble footing. Check it out on Google or Wikipedia! The XRS is superbly well built and very popular. I have taken excellent care of this car. All factory recommended maintenance has been performed at proper intervals. Oil changes have been performed every 5000 miles with Mobil-1 synthetic. She has been hand washed, hand waxed, and garage kept her entire life. She sports several upgrades, including - Pin-striping and wheel well accents - Professional tint job on back windows and sunroof - Motegi lightweight alloy wheels - Bridgestone Potenza tires - Injen cold air intake - Magnaflow exhaust - TWM short shifter with weighted shift knob - Sony XPLOD radio head unit - Bazooka sub-woofer and amplifier Nothing has been done to the engine and drive train, excluding routine maintenance such as fluid changes. She is extremely reliable, and has never given me trouble or left me stranded. - The engine runs strong and starts every time in all weather conditions. It idles smoothly and pulls cleanly through the rev range. - The transmission shifts smoothly and all gears and synchros engage without trouble. The short shifter gives each gear a very exact and precise feel. - The clutch and flywheel have less than 40000 miles and work perfectly; smooth engagement with no grinding or slipping. - The XRS features four-wheel ABS brakes, which work extremely well. They grab hard and track straight. - The steering tracks true and has recently had the alignment and balance checked in January when the new tires were installed. - The A/C was recharged last summer and blows ice cold. So much so that the top two settings are really only needed after a long day in a hot parking lot. - All lights and indicators are good, including high beams, fog lights, and interior lights. - All electronics function good as new. Cruise control works properly, all power windows track properly from top to bottom, all power locks work correctly, wireless key fob locks and unlocks every time. - Fuel economy is very good. I routinely get 28 MPG on my split city / highway commute. Roadtrips normally show better than 32 MPG. - The interior is in great condition. Floor mats and carpet are new-car clean. Head liner is un-torn / un-stained. Seats and upholstery are mostly clean with some small discolorations and no rips or tears. - The exterior is in fantastic condition. No rust, dents, or body damage. Paint is clean and even. She looks like a much younger car! Also included are user manual, wheel lock-nut tool, stock shifter and knob, stock intake, and stock radio. For a list of required maintenance, click here To see her current maintenance status, click here Despite her excellent condition, she is still a used car and sports a few blemishes. There are some scratches on the right running board, a couple door dings from other cars, two bird poop spots on the hood, and various small nicks on the front of the hood. There are also some discolorations on the rear seat upholstery and the interior driver door handle is peeling on the back side. She also took a love tap to the bumper a year or two back while I was stationed in Pensacola. Fortunately, no serious or structural damage was done, and the damage was replaced with OEM Toyota parts by a certified professional body shop. It was a service in disguise, as the old bumper was pretty scratched up from whatever the previous owner liked to drag in and out of his trunk. This car has a clean history and will show up well above average on any vin history check. Check out the free one eBay provides at the top of this description. This is a truly excellent car with no parallel. She looks great, runs great, drives great, handles great, and has been a blast to own. Sadly, I am changing duty stations with the Navy and it is time for me to part ways. I'm going to miss her! This car has been a reliable friend for some of the best years of my life; I hope she can go on to serve you just as well! Buyer owes $500 deposit immediately upon winning auction. Full amount due within one week. Buyer is responsible for shipping. You've got questions, I've got answers!

Toyota vows to fix poor Camry crash test result that irked Consumer Reports
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Many Toyota vehicles haven't been performing well in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) small overlap frontal crash test, and the Camry is one of them. The 2012 and 2013 Camry both received "Poor" ratings, IIHS' lowest rating, in the test, which spurred Consumer Reports to take the car off its "Recommended" list. In response to the low ratings in the small overlap frontal test, and in a bid to maintain its best-seller status, Toyota will make changes to the Camry to improve its IIHS safety rating and to enhance its design, The Detroit News reports.
The Camry performed well in the moderate overlap frontal, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats crash tests, receiving "Good" ratings, IIHS' highest rating, in all four tests. That was enough for IIHS to award it a Top Safety Pick rating, just not TSP+.
Bill Fay, head of Toyota's US division, reportedly says, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."
Mazda ad showing Facebook updates while driving criticized by Senate committee [w/video]
Sat, 08 Feb 2014Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, held an all-day summit on Thursday to discuss the dangers of using modern technology while driving, during which an ad that Mazda aired during the Super Bowl was used as an example of the worrisome future towards which we're headed. While seemingly innocuous at first glance, the ad, which can be seen below, shows a brief glimpse of a driver using the Mazda Connect infotainment system in a Mazda3 to check/update his Facebook page while driving down the road.
Officials from major communications companies like Samsung, Google and Apple attended the summit, as well as representatives from automakers including General Motors and Toyota. A representative from Mazda was not present despite the company's own currently available technology being used as the poster child for the issues being discussed.
According to Automotive News, Senator Rockefeller warned the automaker and communication execs on hand that he will propose legislation to regulate the use of technology while driving if they don't work together to implement their own standards more quickly. Michael Robinson, GM's vice president of sustainability and global regulatory affairs, argued that his company has had distracted driving guidelines in place for 15 years since the advent of its OnStar system, noting that the technology in question has also helped the automaker save lives through automatic crash detection and calls to 911.
Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
