I was just wondering if anyone knows what year they started making the Corolla S? I know they used to come in manual in the AE92 model! But nowadays it seems like the only model that comes in Manual is the S!!

I believe its either 01 or 02
I now for sure they didn't start the S in 00.

U can get stick w/ ve, ce versons also
the only one that doesn't get stick is the LE

No, I'm VERY SURE it was 2001 .. when I bought my car in sept 2000, (when the 2001 model came out) there was the S option..

Aero · 03-29-2003, 01:07 AM

yes your right, the S started on 2001

Xenon · 03-29-2003, 01:50 AM

But all the S used to be before is the 5spd. option right! I mean you know how the new S has a body kit as well! The old gen Corolla just had the red S on the back but no cosmetics!

I think it was 99 or so!

pureimport · 03-29-2003, 09:26 AM

The previous gen b4 the 03 had a different stering wheel and i think shift knob. It also had some CF accents on the dash. Same engine but different cosmetics in the interior

THere was no S in 99
when i got my 00
it was
ve
ce
le

those were the only models available

Corolla S started out with the end of the last Generation Corollas 1993-2001?

Xenon · 03-29-2003, 11:40 AM

I'll probably ask a Toyota dealership about that! It seems that people have different opinions in here...

I know it's been out since the model before the latest one, I've seen it.. So I really want to confirm, I'm curious!

I saw it in their site it says

2001 - Features new exterior styling, also available in CE, LE and sporty S grade

The 2001 model year received new styling to the exterior and was equipped with a standard five-speed manual transmission. The new S grade provided a sporty image with front grille and protective body side moldings and bucket seats. The S and LE grades were available with a four-speed ECT automatic transmission. The CE trim level was available with a three-speed automatic transmission. The 2001 Corolla was the first Toyota model to offer a safety inside-trunk release.

it says pressroom.toyota.com so it must be an official site
