Smile First Toyota!

Hi all,

Last week I traded my 12th car, a '06 Mazda 6s in on a '09 Toyota Corolla XRS 5 speed w/ JBL audio system. This will make my first Toyota Looking forward to contributing to the forum.

This car is my DD/Good gas mileage vehicle. I do about 25-30k miles a year so I like to feel at home when driving.

I have purchased replacement speakers for the car. Anyone have a picture/suggestion on where to mount the crossover boxes that come with the component speakers?

Upcoming plans:
~Upgraded speakers
~Tinted windows
~Backup Sensors
~Short throw shifter (if available)
~Projectors/HID headlight kit
~HID Fog light kit

Thanks for the warm welcome! Too be fair, i'll provide my assessment of the two after a couple more month behind the wheel of the Toy. When it comes to peace of mind and fuel efficiently the Mazda didn't stand a chance.

The Mazda did have all OEM Nav, Leather, Bose, HIDs, 6speed and 18"s so that's going to take a little to get used too.

With enough time I'll have most of that in the Corolla!

My second baby...anyone else ride?

very nice, I look forward to seeing her progress! I had a base model LE, now people think it's S/XRS

Wish I did, wife would kill me if I didn't on the bike!

Would the 6speed transmission on the '11 be a direct bolt-on to the '09 2.4 motor? Thanks guys!

So I did a 3 step light buff/sealant/polish on her over the weekend to get ready for the nice weather. Pics taken with the Iphone 4.
