I asked the service tech how much it would cost to change the CVT fluid in my 2017 IM, and he said I don't need to, since it's a "lifetime fluid." I told him, I don't believe that. A lifetime claim should come with a lifetime warranty to back it up.

[@TheCarCareNut]

Thank you for your awesome argument with the service tech! If it’s a lifetime fluid it should come with a lifetime guarantee against any issues fluid related!

But They got 15 years battery warranty on any Hybrid 2019 or newer. Do you think we will also get 15 years battery warranty?

I had an issue with my 2015 corolla s. At 10,000 the cvt trans failed. check engine light and lunged forward at a stop light almost pulling me through the intersection like the TC was locked. I had to throw it in neutral. it was also acting like it wanted to shift gears even though it didn't haver any lol. It was unsafe to drive. took it in to the dealer they replaced the trans. I drove it for 100,000 miles after that no issues but it was it was always still in the back of my mind on when and if it would fail again. good video

[@moffatk7948]

Lovely reviews. I have a 2014, 1.6 Manual transmission Corolla. Bought new, now 180000km non of the problems experienced, daily driver. I must say very basic, no tire monitoring system, no window sensors, radio very basic no touch screen but works. One recall for air bag. The control arm bushing is starting to wear and it squeak when going over bumps. Other than that it's a lovely basic car but I must say under powered.

[@ArsonistArborist]

“Manual transmission.. bulletproof, zero problems” - a tear of joy just came to my eye, I’m glad to hear that. Just picked up one with 212k. It shifts so much nicer then my 2010 XRS 5-speed and it’s geared so much nicer. I don’t think I’ve ever had a car that I’ve been so happy with the gearing. Basically gears 1-5 are for accelerating, when you get to your desired highway speed pop it into sixth and enjoy really good fuel economy. It has pretty much no power when in sixth, but it just sips fuel! Beautiful

[@May-qb3vx]

It’s a lot of comfort. I just got a 2017 with a manual and I love it so far, though the pedal spacing is really close. My clutch foot sometimes brushes up against the foot rest on the left and my shoe might catch on the rubber floor mat. Really annoying. But overall it’s great

[@ricomajestic]

Resale value is poor on manual transmissions

[@ArsonistArborist]

@@ricomajestic if you're in a rush, that's true. If you're willing to wait, sometimes you can actually get more out of them. Especially now that they're becoming rare (in North America, anyways.) 99% of people don't like them. But that 1% that do, love them. And if you're willing to hold out for one of them, sometimes they're willing to overpay for them. I've overpayed for a manual because it's a manual. I've also sold too high, because it's a manual

[@CleverFix]

great video, lots of information! 2014 Corolla here, did the recall on the CVT and I made a video how to change the fluid.. changed it twice so far. It's running perfectly now. First change improved a strange condition during very cold weather where the transmission would "shift" suddenly while decelerating to a stop, and cause a shudder. No other issues whatsoever so far!!

[@JonathanSellsDFW]

How do i tell if the recall was done if im planning to buy one?

[@Bravadodriver540]

After 3 years Update by chance?

[@CleverFix]

@@Bravadodriver540Hi, 2014 Corolla still running great here, no transmission issues at all since the software update and changing the fluid. I've had to repair a gas tank cover that rusted out, and I had a oil leak at the filter housing, also due to rust. Other than that, it's normal wear and tear for the age of these models.. Shocks need replacement on mine, they don't absorb like they used to, the control arm bushings on this car tend to squeak so I'm going to replace the control arms as well. The calipers are super rusty (I'm in the rust belt) so I'll be installing new calipers also. At this age, rust starts to destroy the car. If it's a Florida car, it would still be a great buy, just make sure it's not very rusty if you get one. I only have 83000 miles, but miles don't matter when rust takes over. I've been getting mine rust proofed every 2-3 years and I feel like I should've done it every year. It's still in great shape and runs good, but if you're buying one in the 2014-2016 range, or high mileage, expect to spend some money on maintenance.. Coolant and CVT fluid should've been changed at least once by now (10 years), and if it wasn't it should be done right away. The engine and transmission are still running like new on mine, and I'm getting the same gas mileage as I did when new. Good luck with your search! They are great cars, but you have to be careful, and ideally have it inspected by a mechanic.

I have a 2016 Scion iM with 74k miles. Other than replacing the factory battery a month ago and replacing a bad tire sensor. I've had no issues with this car. The sport seats have been the most comfortable seats I ever had in any car I owned. Every car I've owned previously, back pain and my left leg going numb was always an issue on long drives. The countless road trips I've made with my iM; I never experienced discomfort.

[@scottcline87]

I have the same 16 iM in manual with 106k now. Mine is leaking transmission fluid from the axle half shaft on the passenger side. I think it's very minor as I got it at 93k and still going strong. Owners manual is very vague on the fluid and dealerships just throw in any Valvoline or other fluid they can get. manual says 75w (??) Gl4 or other mt-lv fluid. I can get a synthetic mt-lv fluid for $25 a bottle (need 3) but just haven't fixed it yet. Horn just stopped working and my driver window sticks a little. Nothing too bad. I also use it for Uber so I put 150 miles about 3 nights a week on it. Tires were $800 due to the rim size on it but good for 70k. Overall I love the ride of it and the way it drives. The scion has a better pioneer unit that responds great with Bluetooth and sounds good. I love the seats too btw! I can drive for 6 hours straight before getting out. It still hurts my hips, but it's not excruciating like my '12 Mazda 3. Very comfortable and I get a lot of compliments on the car and the fact that it's a manual.

[@Fabian-yc2rf]

Would you recommend buying one? I'm looking at an iM right now, I want a commuter and a road trip car

[@sanatanainfiniti4239]

I also felt the seat when I drove the driver instructed corolla, maybe it was a l model. The classes were one hour and I would feel my back and hips everytime after the class. I was thinking not to get a corolla coz of that. But my le doesn't give me any of those back and hip issues with the seat like you said. Very correct information.

[@m8x425]

I have 2 Toyotas, a 2021 Camry LE and a 2014 Corolla L with a 4-speed automatic. The Corolla has a problem with hard downshifting going from 4th to 3rd at highway speeds. There is usually a delay when I step on the accelerator, then it hits a few seconds later. The problem goes away if I disconnect the battery but it comes back a couple weeks later. P.S. I did the 1k oil change on my Camry as you recommended and I found a few small chunks of aluminum at the bottom of the oil collector. Totally worth it. I used Mobile 1 0w-16 oil and a Royal Purple filter.

My wife and I owned a 2014 corolla S and traded it in for a rav4 but the corolla was a nice little daily driver.

[@goldwinchandra2542]

Nice information. Mine is a 2014 Corolla LE with 155,000 km’s on it. Never had any mechanical issues. Very good fuel efficiency giving me 5.4 L/ 100 km on steady highway speeds (around 96km/hr). I occasionally hear the underarm bush clunk (as you said) which I don’t bother as my mechanic already made sure nothing is broken. Only problem I have is my both front door speakers stopped working around 100,000 km’s. Toyota quoted me around $650.00 to fix it stating it is the wiring issue and not speaker’s and so the wiring has to be replaced and the mechanic said, this is a common problem with 2014 and 2015 models. I never did this costly replacement as my front tweeters and rear speakers works perfectly and so I can still enjoy music and use Bluetooth. So nothing to worry about! It handles well with brutal Canadian winter driving conditions (I drove through many snow squalls and freezing rains. It drives sturdy with my Michellin X-Ice winter tires) I highly recommend this car!

[@greeneyesfromohio4103]

It’s so strange because I had a 2009 Corolla that creaked going up or down my driveway lip or when I went over a bump…I totaled it like an idiot 2 months ago! I loved the car so much I just bought another Corolla but this one is a 2014. It ALSO makes the exact same creaking noise over my driveway lip and bumps! I was shocked!

I have owned two of this generations of this Car. A 2016 LE and now a 2017 SE and I must say I am in love with the 17. I must say I have experienced the squeaking in the front in both of my corollas! It’s not all the time at all! I love the styling of the 17! It looks sharp! I changed boths CVT fluid at 60K and have not had any issues! I actually did not like the LE seats, I felt it had no lumbar support at all! These new SE Seats are defiantly more bolstered but I fit perfectly sitting in the seat. I got the 17 because I wanted the adaptive cruise control and I must say I have not had any issues with the system! I’m currently at 79k on my 17!

Very informative very honest. God bless you.

[@crawfordac79]

Buy the L model with the 4 speed automatic transmission, I have a 14, no problems, change the fluid every 36k miles although the manual says you do not have to change the fluid.

[@andybub45]

I just bought a 2017 Corolla LE with 29,000 miles on it. Everything is in excellent shape, I got it for an awesome price too. Only thing is that the paint is White, hopefully by then they improved the paint quality.

[@ORflycaster]

My 2017 Corolla is white too.............by choice. Not a trendy color, but also never out of style. Hides normal dirt well, and stays cooler in the summer. It's an economy A-B car, and mine is getting a best of 39mph on the highway.

[@garyaaron8425]

Wonderful video. Went to HI for my honeymoon and first rented a Corolla S for a week in Maul (2004-ish, I believe)....it was Wonderful. Then rented a Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible in Kauai.....wadda piece of junk (though your viewers can insert other colorful language). I swear, I would've driven te Corolla back to the states if I could've. Thanks again...looking at a Corolla for my 15 y/o daughter. Oui!!!

[@stevenaung3225]

best car advice. that old man Scott just give contradicting incomplete misinformation

[@joshakaoger69]

I got my 17' with just about 17k on it I have double that now it's been just about perfect ...airbag recall was quick same with cvt update in and out few hours 👍 highest mpg on freeway with radar cruise on was 40.1 mpg (k&n filter installed)

[@connordurham8216]

I have a 17 XSE Corolla and I managed to get 42.2 mpg I was amazed considering it was a fully loaded sport model

[@juancorral5142]

I'm getting only 29 mpg with mix driving on my 2017 SE. Which wheel/tire setup are you using?

[@adamp2574]

AMD is totally right. I had the dealership inspect my timing cover seal on my 14 Corolla S (84,000 miles) there was a leak. Got the car back today $2050 repair. Luckily, warranty paid for it.

[@RicardoGarcia-ph2jz]

Gracias mi amigo, por sus consejos compre un 2016 LE.

[@esotericpilgrim548]

I have 2014 Corolla Altis ( Dual VVTi ) petrol Automatic.2014 October model. So so far I have no problem with it all.

[@armandoramos1949]

Thanks for the tips and infos, I do own a 2015 Corolla S with 59K on it. Just had the airbag recall done on my last oil change. I asked about the trannyfill and drain / flush, was told that it's still ok. So far so good (knock on wood). Have a wonderful day.

Sir, this is the absolute BEST review I have ever watched. May the Lord bless you and keep you - you and your loved ones.🙏🏻✝️🙌🏼

[@asukasoryu69]

I have a 2017 Corolla SE, I am changing the seats out for some from the XLE, so I can keep the leatherette but also the lack of aggressive bolsters is nice.

[@pablorosado535]

And I thought it might be a better idea to buy a used 2014 to 2019 Corolla, the only thing I was correct, was to avoid the CVT, and better to choose the 6 speed manual. I still believe the 2014-2019 is the best Corolla design ever. I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla CE with more than 213,500 miles. One of the options is to buy a used 2014-2019 Best Corolla design ever, instead of paying for rust at the trunk and a full paint job, but after seeing your video, I think I am better keeping my since new 2005 Toyota Corolla,. Until a few minutes ago I was fan of the Corolla Eco, and thought is hard to find a used one because people do not like to sell the best Corolla with its Valvematic.....How wrong I was.....Maybe your video shows why so many people wants to buy my 2005 Corolla, regardless of its high mileage, in fact, when people hear the high mileage with nearly routine maintenance and repairs for more than 16 years, they seem more willing to want to buy it no matter they know I am not selling it: service advisors, trusted mechanics, security guards, car salesmen as well as women. Last year I was at a local Nissan dealer and took advantage it was a Sunday, early in the morning before the dealer opens, and saw the new Nissan at their exterior showroom: The saleswoman appeared from nowhere, explained a lot of things, but I started to notice she was more interested than I expected on my 2005 Corolla.... Weeks after, at another dealer, a sales man told me he could sell my Corolla in just 1 hour. Other sales man told me, he could earn more commission selling my Corolla, than selling me a fully loaded 2020 Toyota Corolla XSE The only problem I have is that living in front of a beach here Puerto Rico, rust is hunting my trunk, I have 4 professional estimates, is really expensive: but, it would end restored and if I treat the body and paint with a severe maintenance schedule, it will never happen again. Other than that, is something that requires, either better roads, or, a Toyota Corolla TRD Off Road model . . . Is not the fault of Toyota, but many roads have off road characteristics, as well Moon craters down on Earth. Driving a Corolla since new we all learn to avoid those unexpected craters on the road. I met several people specially women, who do not like the Corolla because they want it to be like a Toyota Corolla Terminator version, capable of doing whatever Terminator demands, but that is not what the Corolla is, much less with low profile tires . . . , I will work my credit to perfection and pay to 1 of the professional body shops, my Corolla will be fine for, the next 300,000 miles . . Routine maintenance in advance, due to severe driving conditions, and keeping records of everything will make this possible. Thanks.

Love the video, thank you!

[@serious_in_seattle6917]

I have so much respect for a good mechanic. My dad and my cousin Tom were great mechanics and I imagine that’s a big reason why.

[@witboj8281]

Watching your latest films about Corolla, I come to the conclusion that if the car fails in the factory, they sell it in the United States. In my life I have not had such problems as you describe with the actuator and I already have a third Corolla with this device (in Europe they installed them earlier, already the previous model had them). It is not only for gasoline consumption but also for bigger engine power. As for this particular model, I have it from 150,000 km and the only fault is the problem with the folded mirror. I got new ones under the warranty, but after the warranty I learned to repair myself on the other - it is enough to properly lubricate the mechanism with ceramic grease.

[@usuhuuts_]

Phew, i have 2015 LE model. Great car. Currently at 120k with no issues, will make sure to change the CVT fluids every 60K! Thank you.

[@stevep5566]

If you haven’t changed it already I wouldn’t change it, ever. Changing the fluid now could be harmful. He has a vid on this somewhere

[@ThePolerbearproducts]

My mom is getting a 2017 Corolla LE tomorrow. 65K Miles and a clean report and always serviced at the dealership I work at. (As recent as a few months ago. I could have washed that car and not even noticed) I’m sad to see her Mazda go, but this will be a better choice I feel like

[@Oaktwn16]

Thanks no nissan cvts having too many issues everyone is scared of buying a car with one. I have a 17 civic with a cvt is something to get use to but I make sure I change the cvt fluid at the dealer evey 30k I got 120k miles on it now

[@STREETFIGHTER50]

Thanks for all your very informative videos!

[@xclavex]

Hey you answered my exact problem with my 2014 Corolla where I hear a clunk going up or down sharp uneven terrain (like a parking garage). I tried getting answers from other mechanics and they didn't know. Have about 110,000 miles. Unfortunately, I got a bad roll of the dice and my A/C stopped blowing cold air a week ago. Not looking forward to having to pay for a new A/C compressor if that is what it is, but I have to have A/C during the upcoming brutal Texas Summers.

[@Cyclingmasterseller]

Thank you for the video, I subscribed and gave a thumbs-up! I am just now buying a 2015 with 23k on it, and am changing all the fluids, period. So far, I've been able to give this car a 6k test drive, so all is good on this end. I like it, except for all the 'damned' head rests, that right I said it, they suck -- they can turn a man with a straight back into a hunched-back cheetah, because they push your head forward and down (I'm 5'10"), it constantly feels like someone is behind me pushing my head forward and down. Outside of that, my soon-to-be 'S" model will be a fine everyday driver. Anyone wanting a true-fast sports car, I suggest looking at other cars, for this is NO beast, but yet has nimble pickup for its' class.

[@19910602011]

I have a 2015 corolla slso and the only thing that bugs me is the seat even though its a 10 way adjustable powered seat, maybe its because i'm 5'6" i feel like baby bear sitting in papa bear's chair and clearly meant for larger adults

[@ProfessorFate]

One other common failure is the touchscreen on the radio. Over time certain parts of the screen stop responding to touch. A have heard that the dealer solution is $1200 for a new radio. However, there are several videos on u tube that show how to replace the touch screen with a $16 part available on ebay and amazon. I went through the procedure and was able to fully restore the radio in about an hour.

[@jshepard152]

Thanks!! Mine has that problem

I'm so glad i bought a 2013 Corolla,knowing the '14 model had major electronic upgrades which to me translates "headaches" i don't need.

Meh,I could never go back to halogen lights and no backup camera. Had my 2014 since 2014 80,000 miles on it not a single issue.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I was wondering about that on my 2014 Toyota Corolla s+ CVT transmission bought when it was 25,000 miles and now hitting 70,000 about to do that now while changing my oil

[@Brett235]

We just purchased a 2016 Le Corolla and I really hope it's a good car. It was a enterprise rental car and it has great maintenance records. I will be checking with the dealer to see if all of the recalls were taken care of.

[@AVMD83]

Hi how is the CVT been running so far ? I ve been thinking in buying one but afraid of the bad comments on the CVT. Thank you

[@anneholiday1744]

@@AVMD83 I had a Toyota dealership guy say he likes the CVT on his Corolla, but qualified it by saying they perform better in these smaller cars! (Because I'm skeptical of the CVT as well)

[@Tigerwarhawk]

@@AVMD83 I have over 100,000 miles on my 2016 Corolla LE, CVT. Zero issues. I have drained and filled the fluid once.

[@Brett235]

​@@AVMD83I've had it for 2 years now and it's been great. I changed the cvt fluid today and it was very dark. The car has 120,500 miles on it. I didn't use the Toyota brand fluid. I used the Valvoline multivehicle CVT fluid. That's what my mechanic recommended and said that is the only fluid he uses in CVT transmissions.

[@EdwardCordeiro]

I just financed a 2016 Toyota Corolla LE sedan with 60k so far so good!

[@stevefromyellowstone7911]

I’ve had mine for about a year and a half. Got mine around the same mileage . Go to a Toyota dealer ship to get that fluid changed ASAP . Especially that cvt. Expensive but far less than a new tranny. Also keep any and all liquid away from that traction control button by your cup holder. They are cheaply made and keep an eye on it in a hot climate especially humid

[@joeymesa4952]

i thought it was just me that noticed the 16 S model drivers seat was uncomfortable after a long drive haha. My recommendation is to get a lumbar lower back pillow for the seat, i got one and it really helps and makes long drives comfortable
