£12.5k cash ($16.7k USD), 54,000 miles, 69 plate (2019), Design trim, 100% reliability, 10 year/15 year warranty retained, plenty of boot space. I made the right choice. “Surprise Neighbour, I just bought a new corolla wagon.”

I went from one end of the reliability scale to the other, my old car, the red Peugeot went into limp mode at least 5 times last week and I’m driving longer distances to work now. I just lost trust in it and was expecting it to go into limp mode despite it fixing it.

Remember when I asked whether to volvo or not to volvo? I got my answer, it’s to toyota

2019 69 plate Corolla Estate Hybrid, Design trim, 54k miles £15000 but brought down to £12500 after part exchange, no thanks to the wet belt. And purchased with cash, so it’s mine to keep, forever.

But I picked it up after work today and i genuinely felt unsafe in my peugeot as last week it went into limp mod 5 times when approaching roundabouts and doing so today, I was just expecting it to enter limp mode.

I’m giving up some things like CarPlay but I can still get it added and it retains the 10 year Toyota warranty. Whats most important right now is reliability as I started a new job & driving further to it, I get the anxiety that the wet belt is going to go or that the engine light will turn on randomly. (Despite verbally being claimed it was). Anyway, I got sold that car, but this one is one that I picked out and bought.

This is my 2nd car and over the moon with it, up to the 1.8 with 4 cyl from the shitbox puretech 1.2 3 cyl

Fucking french shitboxes, I’m never buying one again and recommend no one else either.
