Im looking at getting a cross hybrid and have been comparing the atmos and the GR and notice the different wording on the parking assist section. Is there a difference ?
Left is the atmos right is GR
Cheers
I bought a brand new 2026 Corolla Cross Hybrid, and picked it up mid October 2025. Safety Recall 25TA15 (loose bolt in the inverter) was announced mid December. Shortly after I went to the dealership and swapped my new car for a loaner car, considering the recall could cause loss of control, fire, etc. Initial announcement said the remedy was expected to be available the end of Quarter 1 (March).
End of March came, no remedy. End of Quarter 2 was the new target date.
Well, now its June 23rd....and I have yet to hear of a remedy.
I don;t buy new cars lightly, and this was a significant purchase for me. So far, between my down payment and monthly payments, I've paid over 10k for a top trim package vehicle that I only drove for 2 months. The loaner car is a base model Corolla. Initially I looked at the bright side: free repair, free loaner car, not putting miles on my car, but I'm over that.
And now my car has been sitting so long in the parking lot I'm concerned about other issues that may emerge, especially with the battery. I had asked about a list of potential problems a couple months ago and was assured that if these issues occurred they would be under warranty. I was also given a number to call to request an extension of my warranty.
Everyone at my dealership has been kind and helpful, and I do think they are caught in a bind with this situation as well, so my complaint is not with them.
But question is what do I do now? Do I just keep waiting? Do I even want this car back after its been sitting for so long? Do I push for a good trade in deal? (I breifly looked at NYS Lemon Law, but ehhhhh lawyers...I didn't want to escalate to that.)
If anyone has been in a similar situation, or is in this current situation, I'd love to hear your stories and advice!
Sorry for the dumb questions but it’s my first time purchasing a brand new car and need help with the process of it. Looking to order a new Toyota Corolla Cross GXL Hybrid but after speaking with a number of dealerships, wait times can take up to 6 months. Looking to finance the car via bank loan. I’m based in Melbourne.
My questions are:
• Pre-approvals: if I get a pre-approval for a bank loan now and order a new car, what happens 6 months down the track when the cars ready? What are people’s experience with this? Are banks pretty generous with extending out the pre-approval, knowing some cars can take months?
• Price: the dealership mentioned the price may change. Does anyone have experience with this and whether the price that’s available now is significantly more down the track?
Any advice would be great to hear about other experiences ordering a similar vehicle in Vic.
Has anyone installed an armrest extension for this 2026 Corolla Cross SE hybrid model? Looking for longer armrest, not just cover.
Not sure this one is for this model.
