Today I didn’t go home for inspection after the Corolla was handed over, but waited in the Toyota car dealership in the coffee corner at several cups of Moccacino (delicate!) and read in my magazines and books brought with me. Of course, one or the other somewhat more intense view through the sales room did not stop there. At the same time, I thought about how the Toyota car dealerships have changed over the years (since 1991 Corolla drivers). the exterior design including signage. At that time still quite profane with white writing on a uni-red basis, then the time of the silver look and today noble and discreetly in grey. Or inside with the waiting corner and the comfortable chairs, a real bumper with built-in sensors and test button for the distance measurement or a stand with a Toyota-Navi, around which a printed cardboard should illustrate the optical impression after the installation in the cockpit. 8. How do you feel about the equipment and appearance of your Toyota or Lexus car dealership? What’s nice, what else should be done?

Buying advice Previa
Hello, would like to get an older Previa. I am totally dissatisfied with my Espace. And since you hear so much good about the old boxes, I thought it might be the better choice!? Who can support me with this. So, the new model is not financially in it or I don’t want to invert so much into the car anymore. Have I pre-stemmed a model in the nineties. Did the things timing belts or chain? How reliable do you judge the cars? What should you look for? What about rust? Of course, the Renaults are not to be beaten with their plastic car. kermi

Tank opening on the driver’s side – Place or push the tank nicely on the “wrong” side
A small disadvantage of Japanese cars is that the tank opening is on the original passenger side, i.e. in DE on the driver side. Since this is apparently only the case with very few “real” Japanese cars and I am an absolute “billigtanker” as a professional commuter I often have the problem where? Today the gasoline was again really “cheap” at 1.27 and at the local supermarket therefore of course in the evening on both sides of the pumps a snake of 5 – 10 vehicles each. If I replace myself now like all the others on the left of the pump, I have to pull the hose over the car and I don’t have any balls to put Krazter in the paint and if I am right of the pump instead of there of course always trouble with the other drivers, as it seems I would want to push in front of me. It’s also understandable when everyone else is standing and I just come from the other side. The only solution that I would like to do is to push in front of me. It’s also understandable if everyone else is standing up and I just come from the other side. I think it’s just back in line. It looks weird, but I don’t want to be fooled, just because my box is different than the other cars. What I’m surprised about, there was a K12 Nissan Micra across from me and he also had the fuel plug on the passenger side. How is it with Toyota and how do you do it on the tank? My K11 Micra had it on the driver side, but can also be due to the fact that the one in Englan d was built.

Toyota no longer a US quality prime – core competence in danger?
Toyota is no longer a quality primer in the USA, but has been replaced by Honda in second place. This means that they are certainly still tens of times better than other manufacturers, but the nimbus of all outstanding quality is gone. “Motor Authority” sees this development as a big risk, as the cars would certainly not be bought because of the exciting range of models, but because of the reliability. Quote: It-s no secret that Toyota-s production volume puts it in the number one spot glo bally. And until recently, Consumer Reports had placed the Japanese mega-maker at the top of the reliability charts as well. According to data released today, however, Honda has pumped Toyota to number two in predicted reliability. […] Toyota ertainly not based on their exciting product lineup – so sacrificing quality for quantity is a very risky proposition. Source: No surprising development, as I think.

Toyota no longer wants to sell diesel
I think it’s funny, the current trend. How were you always attacked by the 220 drivers when you hit on the topic of diesel versus gasoline. Now I’m confirmed to drive a petrol truck again and the topic is done by itself. Let’s see when the other car manufacturers are following up. A little pleasure in damage must be allowed…. Let’s see how the topic is developing, also with 6d standard.

Japanese in breakdown statistics worse
Because Audi and Mercedes cars performed well, German manufacturers took first place in five out of seven categories. The Audi A2 had the lead in the small cars, the Audi A6 in the upper class and the Audi convertible in the sports cars. In the lower middle class, the Mercedes-A-Class won, and the M-Class turned out to be the most reliable off-road vehicle. The Japanese were only able to choose the middle class with the Mazda 6.http://www.sueddeutsche.de/,tt2m2/automobil /articles/111/52059/ And by the way in the last AMS :

Corolla error code P0012
Hello, first something about the car. Corolla E12 with 1.6 petrol engine EZ 08/2004 119000km I bought the car with 92tkm in April 2016, until summer 2017 the car ran perfectly. There for the first time the P0012 (nock shaft adjustment – too late) appeared, but otherwise there was no indication of any problems. I first went out of wrong alarm and deleted the MKL. In the last 3 months the error then showed up again 3 times and the last time again disappeared by itself. at the engine rarely a kind of short jerker in the range of 2000-3000rpm. As if it would not ignite briefly. This jerker is not reproducible and the engine otherwise makes a good impression. Otherwise runs clean, stable in idle and has full power. Spark plugs are due in 1tkm lt. plan. A Toyota workshop then operated again rough troubleshooting and could find nothing. Further troubleshooting would become quite expensive. My questions now, someone has experienced ng with the P0012? The Toyota VVTi is actually considered to be very inconspicuous, could find almost nothing in the net. I want to drive the Corolla further, he got fresh TÜV last week and up to the 3rd synchronous ring the condition is very good. How wirtschaltich is a repair (about 500€-150€ rep. cost)? Should I fix it or give it to the export and buy another car. If there was a 98-accord in mind… look forward to answers, thank you.

Fuel eaters in EU out of sales program.IQ already in 2008 in the program.
Hello, Toyota is making every effort to comply with the commitment to 140 g CO 2 by 2009. To this end, we are now taking unconventional measures:www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/…/hxcms_article_507194_13987.hbs That’s how we can do it. I think the approach is clever, because on the one hand it puts the German under pressure, on the other hand it catapults the market share of Toyota rapidly upwards. Bottom line is certain. If they actually realize the new kid so quickly, Toyota gets a symp Athebonus and road presence, which they never reach with the few thousand landcruisers and the petroler RAV. Especially since they know that due to the massive upgrade of the EU – manufacturers in the SUV – the LC and RAV petroler business has declined in the next few years anyway. Thus they can also save themselves the enormous requirements of the EU 5 / EU 6 exhaust gas standard for the LC. Chapeau TOYOTA !!! Greeting Kühli

Great differences in favour of EU import !!
I bought an 8months, 5600km old Toyota Avensis T25 from Denmark. I paid 17200Euro and as equipment, with headlight washing system, rain sensor, seat heating as well as heated windshield for the windscreen wiper 9Airbags of the Toyota new car warranty and I must say, I would have paid in Germany for this equipment at least 21500Euro. I can only say that this old prejudice EU cars do not have all that German cars have therefore are German Teurers more just no longer standing up and simply wrong !!!I can only recommend everyone to choose a good EU importer and you really save !!!!
