A total of 1825kg.
But it also says "total weight of the car (empty)" = 1655kg (does this include the axles? do they weigh on themselves?)

This leaves 170kg to load.
Let's say 40kg of gas with a full tank, 100kg driver... If I take another adult into my car, it's overloaded?
Am I reading this wrong?
It doesn't seem wrong the way you're reading it, but 170kg live load sounds like a terrible design and I'm certain Corolla can carry more than that o_o Though I honestly never feel safe to sit in a corolla. I've driven my bike into the open door of parallel parked corolla on the side of the road and the door came off while all I had was a raging nosebleed (still terribad XD)
