LE suspension

 

Or should've just bought an L/LE/XLE or Hybrid to begin with...honestly, find another Corolla or even Prius owner or with 16s and trade tires.

 

People now seem to buy cars like they buy toilet paper. This is the second most expensive purchase most people will make and something that you will be using daily for years and they don't take the time to test drive it.

When I buy any vehicle I know more about it than the salesman. I will read the forums to see what owners are saying, watch YouTube reviews and read the downloadable owner's manual to see how the features work and the maintenance requirements. Most of all I take a long test drive of the car I plan to purchase.

When I bought the Camry I test drove an LE and the SE to see which one I preferred. I chose the SE because it handles better and I like the look of it better. Since I bought it used I also checked for accident damage, oil quantity and quality, air filter and for leaks. I got the Camry because I my other car was totaled so no choice when I bought it but I usually buy vehicles in the summer. I live in the south so A/C performance is a high priority and can be a deal breaker if it's weak. If you live in the north I suggest buying in the middle of winter to see how the heat and defrosters work.

Also, don't let salesman push you into certain vehicles. My salesman was pushing V6 models probably as a youngish man I would be interested in the power and speed of the V6. Normally he would be right but the Camry is my daily work car so I wanted a 4 cylinder only. I drive about 90 miles round trip everyday so fuel economy and low maintenance costs were more important.

 

The ride on my 2019 Hatchbach SE was actually too soft, until I rectified it... Are your tires inflated to 35 psi cold front and 33 psi cold rear? They will increase by about 1 psi for every 6 Celcius degrees increase in ambient temperature. You also seriously need to consider upgrading your tires.

 

Thanks for the

well I dont know about the tire psi but I will mention to the dealer about that. I will definitely change tires when they are done. For winter I will get a 15" wheel and the most comfortable and silent tires that I can get. Price doesn't matter. It's my first car and all I realised after 1,5 years and 63k km of ownership that I need 3 things only. Silence (dead silence), comfort, and engine power. I realized that I don't care about technology or about it being used or new.

if you have any ideas about soft tires or suspension please let me know.

 

Air ride.

Or use a 15/16" tire with big sidewall.

Even the XSE (with the "sport" tuned suspension) and smaller sidewalls, is very tolerable in my opinion. Even over crappy roads.

Hey, you mean the air suspension systems for spory driving? Cause that's all I could find

 

It is not clear which car OP has: sedan or hatch. Canadian 2020 SE sedan has 16" rims.

 

SE Hatch also has 16" rims, which are also inflated to 35 psi front and 33 psi rear.

 

I mean, I went from a brand new bagged Lexus back to a corolla and have no complaints, even with the stiffer suspension I've added.

Sometimes I think people just need to learn to avoid pot holes, and slow down over speed bumps and such. I think a lot of problems is how people drive.

Avoid? Nah. Power through! (you can't tell me people can't see this)

 

That looks like New Jersey or at least the NE. I'm not surprised. Two things happen in this video. 1: people are following to closely, to not see the pothole until its to late. 2: People are idiots and not looking at the road. These people need to learn to ride a motorcycle (properly), and I promise much of their driving habits will be cleaned up with in a week. lol

 

Use LE struts and springs. They are valved differently and spring rates are different. I have the opposite problem, the LE is way too soft I'm switching to SE struts and TEIN springs.

 

SE springs and struts are too soft... You need TEIN shocks and struts to go with your TEIN springs.
