New corolla advice

[ablackash]

I got new corolla hybrid 1.8 on order and want to know is the new Corolla affected by catalytic theft or any part from exhaust system? Have any of you installed catlock on newer models? Is there any difference in design on Catalytic position between 1.8 and 2.0?

There are quite a few discussions in this forum on this very topic. For example: 

Also see this 2019 article on the Toyota website - https://mag.toyota.co.uk/catalytic-converter-theft-how-to-protect-your-car/ - updated in May this year. Toyota is responding to recent comment and questions about cat thefts and protections. Looking just now, I see latest update in response to a question was in August.

Thank you for the message, I just spoke with the salesman and he said nobody reported anything for newer models and also there’s an option for catlock for £260.
