For its economy, price, and updated design, car buyers can’t go wrong with the 2015 Toyota Corolla. So, if you are in the market for a small sedan, here is a list of just five (of the many) reasons to buy the new Corolla.
- Premium Interior
The cabin to the 2015 Corolla is updated to seat five with comfortable lumbar-supporting seats—each able to adjust to the desired positioning of the passenger. And with hands-free Bluetooth connectivity and easy to use climate control, riding in this roomy interior is a blast.
- Redesigned Exterior
This year the Toyota Corolla comes with a more aerodynamic design, giving it a much sportier look. It also comes with three sharp new colors (Evergreen Mica, Brown Sugar Metallic, and Blue Crush Metallic) that are sure to turn heads.
- Performance and Safety
With top features such as ABS brakes, a traction and stability control system, multiple airbags throughout the cabin, and a rear-backing camera, the Corolla keeps its cargo safe at all times. And, with its two different 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder engines to choose from, drivers can rest assured they will get the high level of performance and efficiency they are looking for.
- Affordability
The 2015 Corolla boasts very reasonable pricing levels (and varying trims within them), making it a perfect option for the budget savvy buyer. It also has some of the best gas mileage found in smaller sedans with 28 mpg city, and 37 mpg highway.
- Great Add-ons
- Some of the best things about the new Corolla are its four trim levels (L, LE, S, and LE Eco) and many upgrade options. Depending on the trim level chosen, some upgrade options include a navigation system, a moon roof, heated and leather seats, a blind spot monitoring system, and lane departure alert.

- 1)Performance
With the combination of a naturally high center of gravity and an adjustable suspension, able to be raised or lowered, the new Tacoma does equally well on or off the road. In addition to this, the new Tacoma possesses perhaps the most important off-roading device of all—a locking differential. This feature overrides the issue of a particular wheel losing traction when in extreme off-roading situations by causing both wheels to work together and spin simultaneously. This enables much better traction and ease through the toughest terrain imaginable.
Design
The 2015 Tacoma is essentially two trucks in one. On the outside, it’s compact with sleek, tight lines giving it an aerodynamic, modern look. Inside, it’s quite the opposite: open, roomy, and comfortable, allowing space for the entire family. Compared to other mid-sized trucks, the Tacoma offers the most in space and comfort.
- 3) Innovation
This year Tacoma drivers will find a fully upgraded Entune system, giving the vehicle’s stereo connectivity to mobile apps. And sound quality this year is excellent too. The LCD screen can be used to navigate music, traffic, and weather, with the added feature of voice command. Also included with the Tacoma’s Entune system are HD radio and text-to-voice, making the 2015 Tacoma one of the most connected trucks on the road today.
- 4) Maneuverability
Because the Tacoma is considered compact in nature, it is able to go where larger trucks could never fit. And with its highly responsive steering, drivers won’t have to worry about nicking other cars or objects when navigating through tight parking garages or crowded streets.
- 5) Safety
Last, but not least, the Tacoma—as with any Toyota on the market today—is incredibly safe. This year’s Tacoma gained high praise from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in side, rear, and frontal impact. Hopefully you will never have to test these safety features out, but it is nice knowing they are there when you need them.
The 2015 Toyota Avalon has done well for itself. Its smooth drive and roomy interior have given it a luxury car appeal without the luxury car price tag—as a matter of fact, U.S. News & World Report marked the new Toyota Avalon 2015 among the top five in affordable large cars. And with many trim options, and an impressive hybrid model, this car can be molded to fit just about anyone’s liking.
The exterior shape of the Avalon has changed somewhat over the years, but it has always done well at keeping it roomy. Inside, everything is put in perfect reach for immediate accessibility. There are three 12-volt DC power outlets (a necessity these days), one USB, and one AUX jack for portable device connections. Wireless phone charging is something new and optional—and highly recommended. Its audio system uses a 6.1-inch touch screen, which also doubles as the rearview camera when backing up. The 2015 Toyota Avalon’s audio is highly equipped with Toyota’s Entune Multimedia System, something Toyota has been perfecting for some time.
An added bonus to the Toyota Avalon is the optional hybrid version. In the 2015 Toyota Avalon Hybrid, the hefty 265-horsepower, 3.5 liter V-6 engine is replaced with a four-cylinder hybrid. And even though there often comes a stigma with hybrids for being sluggish and slow, don’t worry. The Avalon hybrid has plenty of zip and pick-up to it—and it saves you at the pump with 40 miles per gallon.
Whether or not you have ever driven an Avalon, if you are in the market, this is one car you really need to test drive. With the two engine types, you might just have to buy one of each.

Another one of the 2015 Highlander reviews, Edmunds, went on to praise last year’s redesign of the Highlander while staying true to its longtime rough and tumble appeal.

It seems like a rite of passage for owning a car today. Whether the car is brand spanking new, or you’ve owned it for years, when you walk up to your car and see a ding or a small dent from another car door, you want to scream. It’s the kind of damage that’s not worth reporting to an insurance company, but many of us dont want to live with it either.
So how do you get this small, but frustrating eye-soar repaired? Try Paintless Dent Repair.
Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a method of removing minor dents from the body of a car. The process involves getting behind a vehicle’s skin to massage the dented panels back to their original shape. The process allows technicians to remove hail damage, dings, minor dents and creases without compromising the vehicle’s factory paint job. Davey Jefferson of Granite City Collision in Mount Airy says, “Car owners can save a lot of money if their dents are repairable using a Paintless Dent Repair approach.”
“Believe it or not, most of our PDR work happens in the summertime,” says Davey. “And that is because our customers bring their cars in after damage from summer hail storms.” A hail storm can oftentimes total a car, but with Paintless dent repair, and given a lot time, many auto body shops can bring the car back to its original look.
Paintless dent repair if done right can be pretty cost effective. On average, to remove one small dent that is accessible from the inside costs approximately $75.00, in contrast to repainting the entire panel which might costs upwards of $350.
Technicians who provide PDR services work from the inside of the car to remove the dent. Using metal rods and body picks, technicians push the dents out from the underside of the body panel. For cars with multiple layers of paint like those with a pearly finish, it can take a little longer to remove and will cost a bit more to restore the paint to its original pearly finish.
Davey from Granite City Collision warns customers that if the dent isn’t accessible from the inside of the car, then another approach will be needed. And if the dent has already cracked the paint, then PDR is no longer an option.
Mount Airy Toyota recommends Granite City Collision for any auto body need. They are located at 1935 Rockford Street in Mount Airy, NC. Call them today at (336)-786-2119.
Summer is almost here, and with it comes that beautiful Carolina weather: sunny, breezy, and perfect for being outdoors. But whether you decide to go fishing along the Yadkin River or simply walk around Elkin’s scenic downtown area, it is imperative that you have a good mode of transportation–something that not only gets you from here to there, but one that does it in comfort and style. Because around here, there is too much beauty to miss from your driver’s side window to be worrying about gas prices or whether or not your old clunker can sputter you home. Rural living requires something that is as versatile as the South itself, something that can take you to taste some fine Southern cuisine, but can also get a little dirty out on those dusty old country roads–maybe even pull a friend’s car out of a muddy ditch. Luckily, at Mount Airy Toyota, you can find such a vehicle in the 2015 Toyota Tacoma.
The 2015 Tacoma comes ready for you and just about anything you can throw at it. And because the Tacoma is built for action, it is always ready for trips down the smoothly paved road or the rocky trail. At 21 mpg city, and 25 mpg highway, the Tacoma tops them all in terms of saving you money and providing enough power to impress your fiends and family.
Best of all, it comes with TRD Pro’s tuned suspension: highly tuned front springs and high performance shocks that give off road clearance over any surface. It also comes with intuitive locking rear differential, which provides an extra boost to those tough destinations.
Come on out to Mount Airy Toyota today and see what a Tacoma can do for you.
Recently AMCI conducted certified tests to see which vehicles operated at the highest levels while driving in the ice, snow and heavy rain. Many vehicles were chosen for these tests, but only a few were tough enough to make it to the top of the list. So who made it? There were a variety of vehicles that did well, but performing best in acceleration, traction, and handling in these treacherous conditions was the all-wheel-drive Toyota Rav4.
What really impressed the judges at AMCI was the Rav4’s ability to go from 0 to 50 mph quickly on snow, and with minimal slippage. It was also able to stop short on ice while going 30 mph. But that’s not all: the Rav4 continued to pique interest by showing top cornering performance on snow, as well as providing top of the line evasive-action performance in heavy rain circumstances.
These top markings for the Rav4 are due to Toyota’s highly innovative AWD technology, which includes the intricately designed Dynamic Torque Control system. This system, along with the electric power steering mechanisms, helps enhance the driving experience by monitoring and controlling torque transfer between wheels–all four of the wheels–and uses input from a variety of sensors to keep the vehicle moving.
To make this tough, compact sport utility vehicle even more desirable, Toyota now offers an Outdoor Package. The 2015 Rav4 (XLE and other limited models) comes with the option to include roof rack cross bars, mud guards, and all-weather floor mats to help keep you moving in style and confidence. Come check out the new Rav4 today, because no matter the weather or difficult terrain, there is nothing better than the peace of mind that comes with a vehicle that was built to get a little dirty.
The 2015 Toyota Tacoma isn’t overly large (you don’t need to find two parking spaces to keep from dings and scrapes), but it does maintain a presence and allows for extra interior space. The Tacoma is a mid-sized pickup more than able to pull its weight around with a tow capacity of up to 6,500 pounds, and it has the maneuverability to navigate easily through congested traffic. It also comes with a tough V-6 engine, and four-wheel-drive. New this year to the Tacoma is the absence of the base level, regular cab models. Also this year are new body styles and sizes to fit your specific needs, as well as a nicely upgraded interior.
What I like best about the 2015 Tacoma is that instead of the buyer choosing between differing trim levels, he or she is able to pick and choose individual aspects to the truck. Some of these include: bed length, cab style, engine type, and drivetrain. You can even be as picky as deciding on either cloth or leather upholstery, heated front seats, cruise control, remote keyless entry, reverse camera, and alloy wheels. It might take a little more time to research exactly what you want, but this does allow you to be more specific than most other truck brands.
Standard with the new 2015 Tacoma is Toyota’s Entune audio system. This is an advanced audio layout that can be upgraded as you see fit. It includes tons of Web-based apps and a great navigational system.
Come sit inside the new Tacoma and see that all upholstery, compartments, and dashes are soft to the touch and incredibly durable, and the seats are plush and more comfortable than ever. With soft lighting, smooth surfaces, and extra legroom, you might mistake the interior for that of a luxury sedan—a sedan with four-wheel-drive and a tough engine.
The Toyota Rav4 has always been an eye-catcher. It’s been designed well from the start: the exterior is never bulky—instead, it’s curved just right with long lines combined to create ergonomic shapes throughout. And nothing about the Rav4 is overdone. It does many things with many buttons, yet they all seem to fit perfectly in their tiny spaces—leaving excess room to stretch and stow. The Rav4 was cool from the start. And it has only gotten better over the years.
The comfort and quality of Toyota’s new Rav4 is excellent. Though it hasn’t really grown in size (because it hasn’t needed to) and it has advanced in ways of placement. Cup-holders, armrests, the seats themselves, they have all been specially designed to maximize space without taking away from comfort. This is exactly what the Rav4 does best—evolve into a better version of itself by perfecting the little things done well, and fixing those few bits that have failed.
Though Toyota has stopped making the 6-cylinder version, the 4-cylinder actually handles better than any Rav4 engine of the past. And once you step in for a drive, you can’t help but notice the expertly smooth drive. It handles curves and off-the beaten-path terrain with ease and comfort, keeping all the passengers happy, especially the driver.
This year, a promising upgrade for the Rav4 is the electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system. Toyota has offered this before, but never as sophisticated. Now, with the anti-slippage design, the power is split 50/50 at up to 25 mph (while in four-wheel-drive Lock mode). And, this system increases the Rav4’s ability to corner and correct with loose gravel or dirt.
