Longest trip youve driven in your corolla in one day? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

For me Ive driven 525 miles in 7.5hrs in my corolla only stopping once for a gas fillup and something to eat. Ive made the trip several different times. I start getting uncomfortable anytime I drive over 30 minutes in it so those long trips were never fun for me. Whats the longest youve driven?

4 hours... hate driving on long trips cause you end up speading and the corolla shakes so bad in the wind.. but yes the gas is a plus =)

For me in a Corolla it'd probably be about 500 or so miles. New Orleans to Dallas

In any car it'd be about 800 in one day. That was in my '87 Blazer from Cincinnati to New Orleans. My girlfriend and I went to Cedar Point for a few days then Kings Island (both roller coaster parks) for a day. She was soooo worn out she slept the whole way back.

I usually try to keep trip lengths to about 7 hours of actual driving. Cruise control and rest breaks help.

Dragon you must have really been hurting after 15hrs sitting in a corolla. I was hurting good during my 7hr trips and that was even with using pillows for extra comfort.

1.5 hours from Toronto to Shannonville and 2 hours to Niagara Falls, non-stop. That's under 200km just one way. So count the return trip as well.

too long to remember, but there was a stretch where my friend and I drove over 24 hours consecutively stopping only for gas and washroom breaks. not something I would want to do again.

Toronto to Detroit = ~4 hours

2hours trip (round trip) to the shooting range. i do that 2 to 3 times a week.

***Salty_Dog*** · 05-03-2009, 05:17 AM

750 Miles. (Round trip)

Got up at 3:00am, hit the road to my destination, stayed 5 hours, turned around, got home at 10:00pm.

At some points during the dark hours, I was doing a steady 90mph. (Yeah, yeah; not smart).

I wouldnt even want to do that in a RV with a comfortable sofa and a bed, let alone in a corolla. You guys must have been sore the day after. Thank God Ive never had to do that.
