The Orlando Toyota Corolla is a pretty sporty-looking sedan; it always has been. It’s also great when it comes to performance – it’s quick, fun to drive, and fuel-efficient so you save money every time you hit the gas pump. However, Toyota is taking this best-seller to a brand new level with the introduction of the 2021 Toyota Corolla Apex Edition. This limited-edition Toyota will offer not only an even sportier design but also an upgraded performance that will make your drive time more exciting than ever before. Toyota of Orlando has the details.

What will the 2021 Toyota Corolla Apex Edition offer?

We’ll start with the basics – this special edition Toyota will only be available on the SE and XSE grades. It’ll start arriving at dealerships this fall, and only 6,000 will be produced so you better get your hands on one quick if you want to put it in the driveway. The SE will start at $23,230 and the XSE will start at $26,680.

Let’s talk about performance changes next. We already know that the original Toyota Corolla is fuel-efficient and sporty when it comes to hitting the road. Here’s what’s new on the limited Apex Edition:

• Both the SE and XSE grades of this limited-edition Orlando Toyota Corolla will have a 2.0L 4-cylinder under the hood that offers 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque for a little get-up-and-go.
• The SE model will have a six-speed manual gearbox, while the XSE will stick with the automatic CVT transmission. Only 120 manual models will be available out of the 6,000 total models produced.
• A new track-tuned suspension system has been introduced with new coil springs that lower the car by .6 inches. There are also increased spring rates, new shock absorbers with built-in internal rebound springs, and new jounce jumpers. This results in superior handling, stability, and steering response, as well as improved comfort for driver and passengers alike, as well as enhanced roll stiffness (which means way better cornering).
• This new Toyota also showcases revised Electric Power Steering and a Catback exhaust system.

Now let’s talk looks. The design of the 2021 Toyota Corolla Apex Edition has been enhanced to offer upgrades like:

• 18″ gloss black cast-aluminum wheels
• LED exterior lighting and smoked LED taillights
• Black mirror caps
• A redesigned front fascia and front spoiler
• A new body kit with side moldings and a rear diffuser, as well as new fog light covers (all of which help cut wind resistance)
• A 3.5″ stainless steel exhaust tip

And an interior decked out with premium SofTex and heated front seats.

Your car is a big investment – huge, really. For some people, it’s the next biggest investment they’ll make next to their home. That’s why it’s critical to maintain and service your vehicle on a routine basis and take good care of it. Not only will it get you where you need to go for a long time, but it’ll also retain its value and protect your investment. Routine car care is pretty simple to complete (especially if you let our Orlando auto service techs get you on a schedule and send you reminders), but you COULD be engaging in bad car care habits that can cost you money down the road. Here are some of the most common bad habits we see and why you should break them!

Don’t make these 5 car care mistakes

Bad habit #1: Trying to run on empty. 

Are you in the bad car care habit of letting your gas tank run dry pretty often? If you’re the type of person stops at the pump often to put in a few dollars at a time, stop. Keeping your tank full has benefits – like preserving your fuel pump and keeping it running cooler, which can save you big time repair costs. Filling your tank completely can also enhance your fuel efficiency because you’re making fewer trips to the gas station.

Bad habit #2: Shifting from reverse to drive too quickly. 

Some drivers get into the bad habit of shifting from reverse into drive too quickly, and this is bad for your transmission. You should wait until your car has come to a complete stop and THEN shift from reverse into drive, and vice versa.

Bad habit #3: Keeping the trunk full. 

Are you guilty of keeping all of your junk in the trunk? It’s time to clear things out. Keeping too much stuff in your trunk weighs your car down, which in turn can cause your fuel efficiency to take a dip. Additionally, too much weight in the back of your car can damage your suspension and brakes over time because your vehicle has to work harder to support the weight and bring you to a safe stop.  Make cleaning out your trunk part of your routine car care.

Bad habit #4: Hitting the gas too hard. 

If you have a tendency to put the pedal to the metal, you may want to curb it. Not only does this burn excessive amounts of fuel (and in turn, bring down your fuel efficiency and make you spend more on gas), it also puts your drivetrain through the wringer. It also makes your brakes work harder to bring you to a safe stop, which means more frequent brake pads replacement and brake service.

Bad habit #5: Not using your parking brake consistently. 

Most people think you only need to use your parking brake if you’re going to be parked on a hill. This is definitely not the case; using your parking brake every time you park can actually help save your brakes by better distributing the weight in your car.

If you could get the chance to get behind the wheel of the Toyota MR2 again – albeit a slightly different iteration – would you take it? Well, you may get the opportunity soon(ish). Rumor has it that the much-loved Toyota MR2 may be making its way back onto the market in the upcoming decade and Toyota of Orlando is here to share the speculation. Buckle up – you may just get your shot to climb into the driver’s seat of this sporty two-seater after all.

Will this much-loved Toyota sports car make its way back to Orlando?

According to rumors swirling in the automotive world, the Toyota MR2 could be making its way back to Orlando in 2024. However, it’ll be a different type of vehicle – it’s expected that given Toyota’s push toward greener cars, it could be revived as a hybrid car or even an all-electric model. Here’s what’s been speculated so far:

• The next Toyota MR2 would be a ways out if it’s coming back to the market – we likely wouldn’t see it even revealed until 2023 or 2024.
• Akio Toyoda – the president of Toyota Motor Corporation – has spoken numerous times of his desire to have “three brothers” in the lineup (since there were three main sports cars in the 1980s). We’ve gotten the Orlando Toyota Supra back and the Toyota 86 is on the market (and could be in the place of the Toyota Celica), so it only makes sense that the Toyota MR2 is the next addition.
• It’s likely that some collaboration with another automaker will take place. Remember, both the Orlando Toyota Supra and Toyota 86 were collabs (with BMW and Subaru, respectively).
• There’s a high probability that in its efforts to make its lineup greener, Toyota would try to make the mid-engine sports car Toyota MR2 either hybrid or electric.

And that’s all we really can say for now… but we promise that the minute more information comes to light, we’ll share it!

The Toyota MR2: past and present

For now, we’ll give you a quick refresher on the basics of the Toyota MR2 and its history.

• The Toyota MR2 is a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car that has two seats – a driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat.
• It was on the market from 1994 – 2007 and spanned three generations of iterations.
• Although it was a sports car, it was economical and compact, not to mention fun to drive with its mid-engine placement.
• It had fully-independent MacPherson strut front and rear suspensions and showcased an inline-four engine that was transverse-mounted.
• The designers wanted to create a car that was fuel-efficient and fun, which evolved into this popular sports car.
• Some models were convertibles while others were traditional hard tops

We’ll keep you posted as more details come to fruition about this incredible news, but in the meantime, why not check out our current lineup of sports cars? You can see both the Toyota 86 and Toyota Supra in person today at Toyota of Orlando at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall.

Central Florida got lucky this weekend – the forecasters were predicting a Saturday night and Sunday full of nothing but wet weather. Isaias, however, had other things in mind and decided to skirt the coast, which means we did get some rain but also saw our fair share of sunshine. Even if you did hit the road, the rain wasn’t heavy enough to warrant bad driving conditions.

What is hydroplaning?

However, hurricane season is far from over (we’ve got until the end of November!) and we do live in Central Florida, which means daily afternoon thunderstorms with downpours, lightning, and wind gusts are pretty much par for the course. And one of the big risks of driving in the rain is hydroplaning, or when your car starts to slide because it can’t grip the road anymore due to water. Toyota of Orlando is here to explain hydroplaning and what to do if you find yourself in this hazardous situation.

To be more technical, hydroplaning is when your Orlando Toyota loses its traction when you’re driving in the rain. Your tire treads displace water so your tires can properly grip the road and get you where you need to go. However, sometimes when you’re traveling at higher speeds and there’s a lot of water on the road (or it’s just freshly rained and the water is mixing with oil on the road), the water actually starts to push your front tires up a bit, off the ground. This causes a thin film of water to form in between the road and your tires and subsequently, you hydroplane, and your car starts to slide because it can no longer grip the road.

How to deal if you hydroplane while driving in the rain

So how should you react if you find yourself in this dangerous situation while driving in the rain? Here are some tips from our Orlando Toyota experts:

1. Avoid the urge to slam on the brakes (because that will be your natural reaction). Instead, take your foot off the gas pedal to let your car slow on its own.
2. If you’re still moving fast with no slowing in sight, you can gently push on the brakes (if you have anti-lock brakes – otherwise, you’ll want to slowly pump the brakes to avoid them locking up and you spinning out more).
3. Turn your steering wheel in the direction of your slide. It seems weird, we know, but turning it in the opposite direction can actually cause overcorrection and cause you to spin. Steer into the slide (the direction that your back wheels are going) with small adjustments – don’t jerk the wheel.

And take a moment to collect yourself when you’ve finally come to a stop. Hydroplaning can be extremely scary and nerve-wracking and you should give yourself a change to calm down before you hit the road again.

And don’t forget, an easy way to avoid hydroplaning while driving in the rain is to keep your tires in great shape. Schedule service at our Orlando Toyota auto service center today! Call us at (407) 298-0001 or stop by and see us at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall.

Trail Special Edition: This new model is designed for drivers who love the great outdoors – it’s built with camping, fishing, hiking, biking, and more in mind. It’s based on the SR5 CrewMax model and comes in both 2WD and 4WD, but offers a larger fuel tank, an anti-theft system with alarm and engine immobilizer, and front bucket seats. Here are a few more details:

• It’s available in Army Green, Super White, Cement, and Midnight Black and has all-black exterior badging, as well as black seating on the interior with tan stitching accents.
• All-weather floor-liners are standard.
• The exterior boasts a chrome grille and special edition wheels.
• It also offers lockable bed storage that has insulation and a drain plug so you can use it as a cooler when you hit the open road.

If you’re in the market for a new truck, you’ve probably encountered the decision of a gasoline or diesel engine. It can be confusing to decide which is better for your drivetime needs, so our Orlando Toyota dealership is here to break down the main differences and explain both gasoline and diesel engines for you so you can make an educated decision when it comes time to sign the dotted line. Check it out!

Gasoline engines vs diesel engines

First, let’s talk about how things work under the hood.

• Gasoline engines use spark plugs to create a spark and start an internal combustion process that ignites the fuel to get your car up and running. Diesel engines, on the other hand, use extreme compression to generate enough heat to cause the necessary spark for combustion – these types of engines actually don’t even have spark plugs.
• Diesel engines also have fewer parts in them, which means they’re usually a bit more reliable and don’t require as many repairs as a gasoline engine, which has a lot of moving parts in it to keep things running.
• Diesel engines have the capacity to be a bit more fuel-efficient than gasoline engines because of their higher compression rates and different parts. This is good because diesel fuel tends to be more expensive than regular gasoline, and you’ll only have one grade to choose from (where if you’re pumping gasoline, you’ll typically find 3-4 grades to choose from that vary in price). So you may pay a bit more for diesel, but the engine uses it more efficiently than you’re used to.
• If you’re worried about how green your drive time won’t be when you drive a diesel truck, don’t. True, these trucks were traditionally seen as loud and bad for the environment because of all of the emissions they released. However, as technology keeps evolving, they get cleaner and quieter with every passing iteration. They’re also a lot lighter in weight than they used to be, which means even better fuel efficiency.
• You’ll also have access to more power when you drive a diesel vehicle. These engines can generate more horsepower and torque than traditional gasoline engines, and they don’t have to be huge to do so because of their high compression rates.

Which of these engine options is better for you?

So how do you decide between the two? Here are some pointers to help guide your decision.

• If fuel costs concern you, diesel engines may cost a bit more to fill (as diesel fuel can be more expensive) but they’re extremely efficient and in the long run, will likely cost less to run.
• If repair and maintenance costs are a concern, remember that diesel engines tend to be a bit more durable because they have fewer parts that need care.
• Diesel vehicles are especially efficient on the highway, so if you put a lot of highway miles on your ride this may be the way to go.
• Gasoline-powered vehicles are usually a bit less expensive than diesel vehicles when you shop.

Here at Toyota of Orlando, we’re all about innovation. We love it when Toyota announces a new model or even a new concept because we know even if it doesn’t necessarily make it to our dealership, it’ll influence the vehicles in upcoming generations in a big way. However, sometimes the models and concepts released by Toyota can be a little… weird, to put it bluntly. Today we’re talking five of the weirdest models and concepts we’ve seen in the past few decades – check it out.

5 of the weirdest Toyota models ever debuted

Toyota Mega Cruiser: The Toyota Mega Cruiser – believe it or not – actually made it into production and was on the market from 1996 to 2002 in Japan only. It was designed to mirror the (once) popular Hummer vehicles and ended up being used primarily by the military in Japan as a transport vehicle, as well as by police, firefighters, and other first responders. This Toyota model was a 4-door SUV with a 4.1L turbo diesel inline-4 engine and an automatic transmission with a two-speed transfer case that sent power to all four wheels. It was also huge and weird and while well-suited for military purposes, looked seriously off on suburban streets.

Toyota Tundrasine: This one is as weird as it gets. Back in 2015, Toyota thought – for whatever reason – that it would be a cool idea to introduce a new Toyota Tundra concept model at SEMA known as the Tundrasine. (We’re cringing.) It’s a mix of a 1794 Edition Toyota Tundra truck and a limousine (cringing even harder), was 26 feet long, and offered eight doors that led to an interior inspired by Lear jets – it was bedecked in brown leather and luxury features. And it still had a bed for cargo. Weird.

Toyota Previa: The Toyota Previa was another Toyota model that made it to production; this minivan was actually a popular option back in the 1990’s. It was produced in America from 1990-1997 and was then discontinued, but continued to be produced on a worldwide basis until 2019 (why? We don’t know.). This minivan was actually a mid-engine model and important components could only be accessed by basically disassembling the interior. The first gen was also available in manual transmission, which is pretty odd for a minivan.

Toyota Sera: When we think of this three-door hatchback coupe, we think of Back to the Future. Why? The doors say it all – instead of opening out like a normal Toyota model, they actually open up a la Delorian. It was manufactured from 1990-1995 and sold exclusively in Japan, and offered features like three models, a 1.5L inline-4 engine, automatic and manual transmissions, and oddly enough, a pretty spacious trunk area under the hatchback door.

Toyota FC-V: The Toyota FC-V Plus was a concept car developed and debuted in 2015 and its vibe is extremely futuristic. It’s a fuel cell vehicle that also produced its own electricity that you could tap into. Other than that… well, just look at it.

Back to school is just around the corner and while things definitely aren’t typical, there are still some students heading back to campus. This means traffic may be a bit heavier during your daily commute and school buses will be out and about once more. Now is the perfect time to brush up on your safe driving skills for back to school driving, specifically for when it comes to school buses.

Do you know which safe driving habits to use around school buses?

There are specific laws you have to follow when you’re driving around a school bus, even when you’re not inside of a school zone. Plus, there are certain safe driving practices that you’ll want to put into play to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you. Toyota of Orlando has all the tips you need – read on!

Tip #1: Don’t follow a school bus too closely. You want to ensure you have plenty of space to bring your car to a stop since school buses make frequent stops to pick up and unload passengers. You should follow the two-second rule – once the bus passes a landmark (like a street sign or tree) you should pass it no sooner than two seconds later. Additionally, when the bus stops you should leave about 10 feet of space in between the front of your car and the back of the bus. That way kids have space to pass between if they need to.

Tip #2: Be ready to stop. School buses make frequent stops so you should keep your eyes on the road and be ready to come to a stop at a moment’s notice. This means doing away with all distractions and focusing on safe driving and your surroundings.

Tip #3: Stay out of their blind spot. Stay out of the driver’s blind spot – buses are big and in turn, have big blind spots. If you can’t see their mirrors, they can’t see you and you should wait to pass. Always pass on the left and never try to pass when the yellow lights are flashing, indicating a stop.

Tip #4: Know when you have to stop for the bus. Did you know it’s against the law to pass the school bus when it’s stopped? If you see the lights flashing, it’s about to stop and you should also bring your Orlando Toyota to a stop even if you’re not in the same lane as the bus. The only time you don’t have to stop is if you’re driving in the opposite direction and there’s a double line in the middle of the road. If you’re driving in the opposite direction and there’s a raised barrier OR a paved median at least 5 feet wide in the middle of the road, you still have to stop when the bus stops.

Tip #5: Never pass on the right. You shouldn’t pass on the right – this is where passengers load and unload. Always pass the bus on the left.
