    And be aware as the car doesn't have a rev counter it is very easy to red line, especially if you need more power such as when on a motorway and you have to accelerate to overtake.


    The false 'kickdown' can lead to an immediate red line situation and the car really doesn't like it - ask how I know!

    Sounds like your car has a fault. I’ve floored the nuts off driven enthusiastically multiple hybrids including Toyotas and that’s never, ever happened

    work has a Corolla estate, it’s been driven hard as hell.

    You need to fill out a card before driving, milage, time, date etc.

    Then mark damage.

    You just circle every panel.

    The general consensus is drive it like you stole it.😎
