I am new to this forum (was on the Corolla boards), but have read quite a few posts here and love it!
I had a 2007 'Rolla with 315k (assumed, due to glitch at 299,999). But last week got a red 2014.5 SE. It's a great car. Used, 95k, 12.4k out the door, Barcelona Red SE with 17-inch wheels but the base I-4. I am glad I didn't get the V6, despite less power. I love the 2012-2014 body style and was lucky enough to get a rare 2014.5 (backup camera and other features, but with the older style).
Even with the unusually large (2.5-liter) base I-4, it's still powerful with 178 hp. It's rated 25/35.
My question--I can't get more than 28, even with new fluids/filters/etc. and tire pressure at recommended 35. Has anyone actually gotten 35 mpg on the highway with these? My guess is these will be as low as 23 in the winter and no more than 31 on the road, but what are everyone's experiences here?
