Review of Toyota Corolla Runx
Steering Steering performance is one of the main indicators of a car, as it provides safety and comfort for the driver and passengers. The combination of style and technology Corolla Runx, created by Toyota, has proven itself in the market and is time-tested.
On different generations Toyota cars Corolla miscellaneous ground clearance... Clearance is the height from the road ...
Oil for Toyota Ranks One of the important factors in the long-term operation of the engine is the quality of the oil that is poured into it. Recently, when I rode various Toyota from Japan, such thoughts more and more often visited my head. In addition, the client could choose a complete set from additional options.
The most optimal way is to install spacers under the springs.
So, as in the previous case, the distance from the car to the road is mm. In this generation, the body has a clearance, like the previous two, and is mm. For these Vehicle the set clearance is mm. Toyota Corolla, sedan, IX generation - this generation of Japanese cars received standard factory ground clearance in mm.
Increasing ground clearance methods and spacers Spacers to increase the vehicle's ground clearance. To brighten up this design feature, the designers decided to install enlarged lights.
Externally, the Toyota Allex had a retro-styled exterior, while the RunX boasted a sportier exterior. The lineup was exactly the same for both models - 1.5- and 1.8-liter engines. Each of these two models had their own configuration names, but in terms of filling they were similar to each other.
In addition, the client could choose a complete set from additional options. The final option here was limited only by the size of the wallet and the client's imagination. The RunX had a wider trim list as the options were more variable.
In the early fall of the year, Toyota releases the first generation restyling. As conceived by the management, a more recent design will contribute to better sales and popularization of the hatchback. During the restyling, the design and shape of the headlights, bumpers and some other elements changed.
But a few years ago, Toyota decided to take its positioning to a new level. Came out, and so far demonstrates at least an acceptable level of reliability of the units. This is also good, moreover, it is very typical for Toyota. And won't this affect the quality of mass models?
Recently, when I rode various Toyota from Japan, such thoughts more and more often visited my head. It is frightening that formula technologies will come to the masses not only in the form of systems, elements and materials tested in races, but also in the form of solutions saved for the sake of big sport.
I was not surprised at anything, I didn’t remember anything, nothing upset me. Even the price did not crumble. If it is overpriced, then it is understandable. It is like a guarantee for a calm future if any problems arise.
Selection of a car by characteristics
But for a car with a range of 20 thousand through a dream, the movements were alerted by some extraneous sounds in the suspension, and the suspension itself seemed a little tougher than we would like in a Toyota Corolla. Vasily Larin Lenten dish with peppercorn At first, this car puzzled me. Indeed: We have already driven a similar hatchback Allex.
True, that car was forced to l. However, in reality, the repetition of the traversed did not work. Who knows! And the point is not only in the trim levels, where Runx loses to its opponents in some positions. This hatchback also refused to drive normally. No, it starts from a place very briskly, but already by the kilometer the rate of acceleration drops noticeably, and after that the car does not want to accelerate at all noticeably - well, if only downhill, but with the gas pedal trampled under the mat.
No, driving like that is not good, because even if you are not going to drive a car, the ability to quickly overtake on the track will never be superfluous. But in the 1.5-liter Fielder, I remember, such phlegm was not observed. But in terms of handling, Runx has its own character. The car seemed noticeably more nimble than other versions of the Corolla and it's not about the length of the body - the turning radius is actually small. And in extreme modes, Runx demonstrated unexpectedly sharp reactions to recovery after a drift or drift: However, you should not be hooligan on the roads.
Therefore, I personally would not be happy to drive the Runx every day - it’s boring to just drive a simple Corolla. And all because this lean dish has the only peppercorn, and is hidden somewhere at the very bottom of the plate. In addition, this peppercorn is too expensive.

Alexey Stepanov Fielder, allex, runx: It's hard to convince me that there is another car company in the world that can satisfy the needs of a mass motorist like Toyota. When it became known that our next test subject will be the Toyota Runx, there was little enthusiasm.
Toyota Corolla Runx
This is probably the last car from the penultimate Corolla family, with whom I did not get to know closely. And he was pleasantly disappointed - he had enough features, and learning new things is always interesting. Urban compact car for a person regardless of gender and age, practicing a relaxed lifestyle, and without any problems. If I understand correctly, in Europe there are most of these cars, and Japan, apparently, is moving in the same direction.
Tire calculator
Outwardly, this family does not appeal to me, but I don’t want to talk about hatchbacks at all. What is being made of this body now is not to my taste. It is clear that appearance and body type are not the whole car. The basic configuration included the following: Additional options were installed at the request of the buyer and were paid separately. Oil for Toyota Ranks One of the important factors in the long-term operation of the engine is the quality of the oil that is poured into it.
It is of course better to use original oil, but it is not available everywhere. Toyota brand oil ensures the formation of a thin but strong film on all rubbing units, which facilitates easy sliding of parts and prevents the formation of scoring and seizure of engine elements.
Such oil does not allow the motor to overheat, it removes heat well. It closes microscopic gaps in the cylinder group, providing high compression.
Japanese manufacturers have once again stirred up the world of car owners by releasing an interesting hatchback Toyota Corolla Ranks into production. This is primarily a car for a family, therefore, an emphasis is placed on reliability and comfort at the expense of technical characteristics, although they are not so low compared to modern machines... After seeing the light in 2001, the car lasted in mass production until the end of 2009.
Exterior and interior of the Japanese hatchback
It seemed, looking at the photo, that this was an ordinary sedan, but strangely chopped off at the back, and the designers, in order to smooth out the impression of this oddity, put large taillights, giving the car a European look. The front end in Runkse featured a radiator grille and headlamp sizes that differed from the traditionally narrow configuration of Japanese cars.
Some roughness of the body lines of the NZE121 emphasized the peculiarity of this car and hinted that this is a family car, and it does not need high speed, for it comfort and reliability are more important. True, the spoiler is over rear window and the large dimensions of the rear lights give the car some sporty power, thereby delighting ambitious drivers who want to stand out from the crowd.
Corolla Ranks is one of the earliest hatchbacks in the Japanese automotive industry, and credit must be given to the designers who thought about the design of the cabin and luggage compartment to make it a true family car. They have intelligently positioned the seats, made an ergonomic dashboard and used inexpensive materials for the interior trim.
Reasonableness of each element dashboard Surprisingly, with a large number of switches and buttons, it is convenient for the driver to reach any of them, the useful electronics are located very ergonomically.
Thanks to the design features of the five-door body, it was possible to increase the space to comfortably fit three people on the rear couch of the hatchback, which is uncharacteristic for a traditional Toyota Corolla. The trim made of inexpensive plastic and leatherette made the hatchback a truly budget car, so it is not surprising that it is chosen as a family car.
In 2002, after revision, the design of the bumpers was improved, and the headlights received a new shape. In 2004, manufacturers once again tried to freshen up the exterior and interior of the car, making another facelift. But the changes made allowed the 2003 Toyota Ranks to exist. only until the end of autumn 2009.
Technical equipment Toyota Ranks
For the 2002 Toyota Corolla Runx, manufacturers provided a small selection of powertrains: 1.5 and 1.8-liter engines with a power of 105 and 190 Horse power... For a model with a 1.8 liter engine for amateurs sport driving installed a manual transmission with 5 speeds, it was also installed automatic transmission with step switching. A rear stabilizer was used in the suspension, thanks to which torsional moments of the NZE121 body were extinguished.
The one and a half liter Toyota Corolla Runx engine of 2003 was intended for trips with the whole family, the automatic transmission with smooth gear shifting, like in high-class limousines, pleased with its impeccable operation. The driving pleasure was left by the electric power steering, which makes it easy to turn the steering wheel.

Additional options were installed at the request of the buyer and were paid separately.
Oil for Toyota Ranks
One of the important factors in the long-term operation of the engine is the quality of the oil that is poured into it. Of course, it is better to use the original oil, but it is not available everywhere.
Toyota brand oil ensures the formation of a thin but strong film on all rubbing nodes, which facilitates easy sliding of parts and prevents the formation of scoring and seizure of engine elements.
Such oil does not allow the motor to overheat, it removes heat well. With its help, microscopic gaps in the cylinder group are closed, providing high compression. Detergent additives clean parts and remove deposits from engine overheating.
Choose oil from other manufacturers according to API classification at least 10W30, but for engines with VVTi system 5W20 or 5W30 is better suited. It is recommended to change Toyota brand products in winter after driving 4–4.5 thousand kilometers, in summer - 5 thousand kilometers.
Conclusion
