Looking at 1.8 TS Design. Have you test drove the Auris 17" space saver spare wheel and it is 100% safe? Seems like good savings compared to shelling out at the dealers.

Hi I have 1.8 TS  and fitted a 17in Auris space saver, it will fit fine, as I had a tyre blow out and had to drive on the space saver to a tyre shop.( I had test fitted it when I purchased it.) 

Without one, I hate to think how long we would have been waiting for the AA.

Interesting you found the estate to have more headroom than the HB. I found the opposite when I tested the two in the showroom. Must be only 2mm or something insignificant, however for me was the difference between my hair catching the roof lining and not. 
 

Noticably more legroom in the estate though  

I must admit it was some time ago (pre covid 19) when we had test drives, but TS felt more roomy when briefly sitting in the back, but since then I haven't sat in back and not had any complaints from rear seat passengers so far. 

Yes I agree, very understated. I did check it with a window open but wasn't much better. Just ordered a couple of PIAA dual tone horns, I had a quick look at the fitted one and it's easy to get at for replacement. 

Yes, after you switch off the hybrid system look up to the roof area  just behind the front internal light and there is a alarm isolation button one press will switch off the internal alarm system. 

I drove  1.8 HB and TS before ordering the TS. I couldn't feel any difference in performance. We had the car 15 months and find in the real world performance is fine as is fuel consumption.

As estate cars go it's not that big, but the extra headroom in the rear for passengers and space in the boot works for us. 

The only thing missing from the car order options was a spare wheel. The tyre repair kit supplied is of no use other than for very small holes. This was easily sorted by buying a second hand  one. 

Speak to a main dealer, as this should be a setting that can only asscessed by them along other options as auto opening/ closing oh windows via key fob.

Just seen this, it all looks good news for owners under 100,000 miles. 

https://youtu.be/80VKMkrJ6CAIf this is the Toyota AVAS working surely it would not be louder than 1.8 / 2.0 petrol engine. I found the above link, again you shouldn't be hearing a loud noise from within the car. I would go to the supplier and ask to hear the AVAS on a demo car. 

Hi

Has this noise been since you had the car from new? To my ears it doesn't sound right, has the dealer actually heard it? 

When I used my space saver original nuts fitted fine. 

 Hi I am using an Auris one as per attached photo along with a 17in Auris space saver. Jack fits Corolla fine as I had a tyre blow out. 

I have a TS with a factory fitted detachable bar with 13pin electrics, cost was £415.83 plus vat that was last September. Also car is rated for towing 450kg unbaked 750kg braked. The towbar was listed under factory fitextra options, which I thought was good value. 

Just checked on Toyota's Web site price is now £509.00 including vat as optional extra new order.

I was in two minds whether to buy a space saver or a full size wheel but eventually decided on the latter and have ordered the following:

I also cut a very small hole in the boot carpet to expose the threaded hole for the retaining screw.

When the wheel arrives I will then need to get a tyre for it and buy a retaining screw although Toyota don't sell one apparently as, according to their official eBay parts store, a 17" wheel won't fit in the wheel well of a Corolla TS (which is obviously incorrect). I also own a Celica that has a full size spare so if that retaining screw fits I shall just buy another the same.

I ordered one of these from eBay to secure my space saver, seems excellent value.

I have a 1.8 TS design, to which I have fitted a Auris 17in space saver as I have lowered the boot floor due to a large dog needing head room. I can confirm there is a threaded whole under the carpet. A  17in full size wheel will fit in as I had to use my spare due to a full tyre blow out after 400 miles from new! the full size fitted the recess.
