Thank you. Well, in terms of suspension stiffness they are quite similar. They are certainly different in appearance. This example is more futuristic and not very time-sensitive. The Corolla is a classic sedan style. I really like the electric power steering in the Corolla; at speeds above 60 km/h it turns off and the steering becomes stiff. It's more pleasant to drive on the highway. Rear view camera is missing. I’m not upset by the lack of rear electric windows, and the lack of seat cushion adjustment in 2 positions. There is no climate control, but it does not cause any inconvenience. But there is a built-in electric heater in the heater.
This is what the salon looks like. The mileage according to the speedometer is 134,000 km, but whether this is real or not is 100% impossible to know. The steering wheel was made into leather, a retractable armrest was installed, in my configuration there was a simple armrest and a plastic steering wheel, after the Example it was a little uncomfortable. This car brings back memories of my first car, LADA 2110. The color is similar and apparently they are used. There are common features, a scratch on the lower left side of the front bumper, standard fog lights which are not included in the package. I switched all the lights in the instrument panel to green. There was nothing complicated there, I bought LEDs with the required base and installed them instead of lamps. A special “fetish” was finding buttons with green LED backlighting; at that time I saw 3 options for these buttons.

Sorry, the photos are mixed up in some places.
This is what it looked like at the time of purchase. Improved appearance. Black film on the door pillars, Camry 40 wheels, radiator grille painted in body color. A stand for a license plate from a Chevrolet Aveo has appeared. Winter is coming, so the last photo shows iron wheels with hubcaps. The original hubcaps are on the Camry 40 along with the iron wheels. |

Hello. In our market, the choice of cars under 950,000 rubles is very limited. I couldn't get a loan. Therefore, new cars were not considered. I only considered the manual transmission; the other functions and configurations did not interest me. For this money we have cars until 2012 and there is little choice. I've been looking for more than a year. But a friend suggested I look at the Toyota Corolla 150. For some reason I didn’t even remember about them. Considered 3 cars, took the last one. There is an accident from the rear right fender to the front right door. The wing was hit the hardest, but I'm glad they didn't cut anything. The rest is weaker. Price 850,000 rubles as of September 2022. But 2 sets of tires and a set of wheels and the price turned out to be 890,000 rubles. Engine 1.6 124 hp, manual transmission, initial equipment, but I have already equipped it a little.

Sad news Sergey. You kept the car running a good few years though.
Are you looking for another P12, or are you going for a different make?

So the story of my car ended. I had to sell the car. Severe corrosion of the bottom of the car in the rear. I tried to pierce with a screwdriver in two places, pierced through.

Our roads are mainly made of asphalt. Dirt is taken from roadsides, lawns. And in winter, due to the use of anti-ice reagents. Sand is also used. Well, temperature differences from minus to plus. Dirt roads remained. But there are not many of them in central Russia.

Thanks for sharing the pics!
Cannot believe the amount of dirt that russian cars use to have, are still over there common gravel roads? |
