HI I am from Australia and I have just purchased a new 10th gen corolla hope you like it.

The Australian corollas use a double din head unit so Toyota make the surround so if you are able to find the product number then you should be able to order one for a head unit conversion. The only problem is we only get the black trim

Sorry about the bad quality all corollas over hear only come with the 2zr-fe and 4-speed auto or 6-speed manual

Very nice black windows, fit perfect with the white color.
I’m still not real fan of the dashboard.
Toyota can do better than this, just don’t understand why they even offer it.
Australian corolla cool car, enjoy it

why do you guy's get a 6 speed and not "U.S." ?

Welcome!

Nice ride, and I am envious of the instrument cluster, covered cup holdes in the center console and the ability to turn off the center vents.

You can tell there's a major difference in the toyota stock radio. Wonder why they did that? Was that the base model? I couldn't read what was underneath the Corolla badge on the back of the car.

damn you and your nicer grille! hahahaha.

The double DIN is available in the US but they put the navigation system in there. For non-nav-equipped cars, we get an integrated radio. What's interesting is that you have the Aux Input right in the radio. Ours is inside the bin at the bottom of the console. Another interesting thing is you have front power windows and rear manuals.

ameri_star it says "ASCENT" which is the base model. The next level up is Conquest and then Ultimate.

I did a quick check on the Ultimate. It has bluetooth, SKS, auto-dimming mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, HIDs, Auto A/C, leather and driver's knee airbag. But it's also quite expensive at AU$31,990/US$22,000/CA$26,000

I would have a hard time getting used to shifting with my left hand and clutching with my right foot i think..

nice car man wish my XRS had a six speed.. matter of fact wish my XRS was supercharged Aurion lol

I think the pedals are the same as North America.

I wonder what those 2 circles are on the front bumper?

Thats where the lasers come out in situations where ppl drive 5 mph below the speed limit in the passing lane.

Man the more I look at Corollas from other countries the more I feel the US got jipped when it came to features. How much did you pay overall? (I can convert to USD you don't have to).
