My 2006 automatic corrola is jerking forward hard to second gear. I didn't notice this when I bought it (used) a few months ago. Any idea what it is... emergency to fix?
I find this thread interesting because I'm thinking of replacing my 2001 Volkswagen diesel Beetle with some 2005 or 2006 Toyota Corolla. I drive 50,000 miles per year, so gas mileage and car reliability matter a lot. I have always driven VW diesel cars since 1984. My latest results are with a 93 Golf: gave it to my son after running it 300,000 miles (500,000km) : no engine or transmission problem ever.
My Beetle has 420,000km (about 260,000 miles) and motor - transmission A-1. However diesel costs 20% more than regular gasoline, so a Corolla may be cheaper to ride even if gas mileage is lower. 2006 Corolla boasts over 45 miles per US gallon highway driving whereas a 2001 diesel consistently gives me 50 miles per gallon. Does anybody really get 45 miles per gallon consistently? And is 300,000 miles out of a Corolla (recent models - not 1998) true, or just lucky and rare results? If anyone can confirm.
