yarisHybrid 3 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Owners of the new Corolla, please - give me feedback from your point of view. I have noticed that on my - drivers side - the floor is a bit soft and when getting into the car or out - you can see floormat streching a bit when leg is pressed on it. It's not 100% solid as you expect it... Is that everything normal, do you have that as well? Don't know how to describe it better... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yarisHybrid 3 Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 It's this part of the floor, marked on the image. It's much more eaiser to notice now on summer becouse of summer floormats... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
King Crimson 108 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 You have rubber floor mats, your dealer propably fitted them for free, they are easier to clean especially when going to the beach and you have sand on your feet. Of course as it's a rubber floor mat it will stretch a bit but it shouldn't move much as it's fixed with a small screw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The floor is soft and you can feel that with the foot, if pressed harder. Remove the floormat (either carpet ot rubber) and try to press it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
King Crimson 108 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 So you are saying the area under the floor mats is soft? I'm not sure if i've ever noticed it to be honest, i'll have a look at it later on. But propably everyone has it and it shouldn't be a problem, perhaps it's soft rubber so that the floor mat doesn't move? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, it wont go thru but I'm used to 100% solid floor, not flexing a bit under my leg 🙂 the car is now 1 year old and 30.000 km - so like new... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Damn that's a lot of travelling lol, mine will be 1 years old in 2 weeks and i've done about 9.500 km. But yea i understand what you're saying, as i said will check it out on my car as well later on, i guess it's something you will have to get used to 😕. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yarisHybrid 3 Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 Not a problem with getting used to, ok - but to be sure that the floor is not week or have some factory faults, or create a hole over the time 😮 on the other hand, i am loving the car and enjoying in every kilometer.

TonyHSD 939 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 No worries for that, they all the same and it’s the sound insulation. Feels wired though. , you just need to get use to and don’t use high hills without car matts or there is a risk damage the carpet . 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought to go to dealer on Monday and shout on them and made them go thru the carpet hehe 😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Velvet--Glove 32 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I have a 2019 Corolla hybrid hatchback (same blue as yours 😎), just over 1 year old now. The footwells have carpets. I have not specifically checked today but I don't think there is anything odd about the driver's floor, it's always felt solid enough to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

King Crimson 108 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Oh that's a nice steering wheel, where did you buy it from? Did you install it yourself? I've been thinking of changing mine as well, maybe to alcantara or something like that. Btw the gr sport corolla has a similar steering wheel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FROSTYBALLS 3,537 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Could there be a difference between lhd and rhd floorpans? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No no, when you remove floormats - what ever the kind - the floor under is a bit soft... it makes sense that is a part of sound insilation Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flash22 764 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I would go and see the dealer, not 100% but it's either a recycled felt or it's polystyrene Does it smell when you first open the car ? or does the carpet feel damp ? feel it up around the pedals Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No smell from the floor or carpet... only from air conditioning for the first 5 to 10 seconds after start - the it's ok. Not worried about that, or maybe shoud be? They have just replaced air filters on regular maintence. Regarding floor, i think it's not damp. I touched it several times under the floormat. So no damp 100% Quote Link to post Share on other sites
