      @Scotty Kilmer I do bet this car will be more valuable than a civic🤔🤣. I think the reason Corollas didn't take off in racing world is there wasn't much after market support like turbos and superchargers. Probably very few companies made forged pistons and rods for that engine. I'd like to find one of these engines and transmission in junkyard and drop it in a 92 Corolla, it's much lighter weight car

    Scotty, we got these as a Corolla "Sportivo" in Australia. Im lucky enough to have one of the later 2005 models and I love it to bits. It's not going to be winning races against Mustangs or SS Commodores, but the look on people's faces when you rev it up to 8000rpm is priceless. It is the most fun car I've ever owned.

    I own a 2005 Corolla XRS and still love driving it especially on the open road. Has 163,000 mi. on the odo, but still runs great and is still pretty much stock from the factory. The paint looks like hell with most of the clearcoat gone (FL sun is hell on paint) and it has the same factory paint defect on the front part of the hood that so many of the others have (especially the red ones) where it bubbles up and flakes off. It's been very reliable with the only work done on it other than regular maintenance is to replace the struts at around 130K and a starter motor at around 140K. I had a guy try to "steal" it off me for $1,200 and I just laughed. He upped his offer to $2,000 and I just kept laughing because i know how rare these are and what they're worth. Thanks for all your informative videos Scotty - keep 'em coming.

      I also own a 2005 Corolla XRS it currently has 157k miles on it. I have been driving it for the past month because I had received my drivers license last year. And my parents had been using it and bought it for brand new. The paint on mine is also red with the clear coat flaking along the whole car and the hood having paint chipped off. Also the shiny metal on the gear shifter has flaked off the top and the small compartments on the center console keeps opening. Other than that and a very long cleaning session I’d say it looks good as new and everything still runs just fine.

Being it’s a 20 year old Toyota almost of course it’s gonna leak. It’s a great car and it pulls hard still at 275K. People always laugh when you pull up on them but it ALWAYS suprises people.

    Bought my 05 XRS back in 04 with 5 miles and 17 years later has 150k n runs like it did back then. The lift still works great, only major service I’ve done to it has been replace the crankshaft cover gasket and 2 clutches. Fun car to drive n no plans on selling it…

Mine is at roughly 336k currently (trip meters still work). I bought it with 12k. The biggest problem is a terrible oil leak from the Timing Chain Cover Gasket and I'm dreading doing the job to change it :-( Other than that, she runs like a top. Still blows cold AC...oh, I am on my third clutch though. Cheers
