Once connected it has never dropped and I use Maps, Waze, Amazon Music or Spotify every time I'm in the car.ĭon't really know much else to say about our little blue bug except my wife and I really like it. But it has never failed to connect manually. Sometime when you put it in gear before the pairing is completed - especially reverse, I think there is just too much going on with the backup camera, etc, and pairing gets pushed out of the queue. There are times that it won't automatically connect, but that's usually because I have interrupted the pairing process. The wireless Android Auto works very well. I've had it 2 weeks and 500 miles and just filled it up from 1/4 tank. I didn't drive it today, but yesterday it indicated 55.0mpg combination city/highway. What we all want to know is what kind of mileage do I get. Understand that my car is not fully broken in, so I have not really put my foot in it so it's performance has not been fully tested for maximum thrust but it definitely gets out of it's own way. Now admittedly it starts lacking juice around 45-50, but the electric motor assist keeps the acceleration going up to highway speeds. It is quick off the line, surprisingly quick - not Mustang GT quick but more than 138 horsepower quick. My driving has been a combination of city, rural and four lane roads so I have a good idea how the car performs all around. I read reviews before we bought about how the car is slow. The back seat folds down to give even more cargo room to the very spacious trunk. The back seat has enough room for me to sit behind the driver's seat adjusted for me,although we don't usually have anyone in the back seat. We are very pleased with the interior, but to see what the interior actually looks like, click on the Macadamia color and you will see how the light gray interior will truly look, except of course for the color. It shows the seats in two tone which is accurate, it does not show that the bottom half of the dash and the upper doors are trimmed in light gray. The Toyota website does not have good pictures of the interiors of the Corolla, especially the light gray interior, which ours has. One thing to note is we didn't have an opportunity to see an actual car before we ordered ours. The fit and finish is first rate and I am extremely picky. The doors shut with a good quality sounding thud. It is a bit noisy as road noise intrudes a bit more than I'm used to in Toyota's and I've owned several, but I attribute that to the tires more than anything - Yokohama LRR's. Bottom line it's a class leader in the comfort department. It doesn't sit up quite like my Outback but it shouldn't, so this is not a comparison. Ingress and egress is not that difficult either for an old guy with stiff joints. Again haven't taken the car on any long trips, but I have had quite a bit of seat time waiting on my wife during her shopping outings and I haven't been uncomfortable. I am 5'11", 240 lbs and my wife is 5'4" and we both find very comfortable … seating positions. Certainly power seats are nice, but I can get enough adjustment with the manual seat just fine. Having said that I don't really miss some of the upmarket features. We don't need all the fancy stuff for a car that we figured would be our daily driver. I'm only 2 weeks into ownership of a Corolla LE Hybrid.
