JAKARTA - Introduced in 2022, Toyota GR Corolla comes with the pleasure of driving for sports car lovers. In addition, this car also answers requests from a number of markets that do not get GR Yaris units.

Offering fun driving, but Charlie Holmblad, one of the users of this model, found it unpleasant. His hot hatch suffered damage to the manual dental change system.

Even more astonishingly, he found that his Corolla GR had to be repaired to cost $42,180 (approximately IDR 680.3 million) or more expensive than the type Holmblad owns, Premium worth 40,320 US dollars (approximately IDR 650.3 million).

Launching Carscoops, Tuesday, May 14, the beginning of the damage was when Holmblad traveled home from work in his car and made a wrong move to third gear, not five.

The dealer believes that the engine spin on the Corolla GR reaches 8,900 rpm, exceeding the redline limit for this car is only 6,500 rpm.

Based on notes from Toyota, there are metal bursts on the oil, twisted klept, and three-piston melts that damage the cylinder walls. A technician has been sent to check for the damage.

Unfortunately, Toyota refused to bear the damage under a warranty considering this was the fault of the vehicle owner so the owner had to bear costs of up to 42,180 US dollars.

Last year, the Japanese manufacturer also received reports that there was a GR Corolla that suffered engine failure, so it was necessary to rebuild it at the heart of its runway.

However, another interesting thing about the repair was covered by a warranty that cost $ 32,000 (equivalent to Rp516.1 million). However, the company did not disclose the reason. It is said that this damage was caused by smooth driving characteristics.
