Tony Ren well I thought we were just talking about the base models. But if that’s not the case I’d have to take the Veloster Turbo. I own a 2015 and yes it does have a rather large sunroof. And in my opinion is just more fun than the newer civics

I think the Civic Hatch is probably more fun to drive, but if you are keeping a car for a long time I think the Corolla's the way to go. There's a reason why Toyota who is obsessed with reliability sticks with naturally aspirated instead of turbocharging everything. Honda's new turbos are starting to have issues (e.g. CR-V) and no one knows how turbo engines will hold up in 10 years.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Yes

[@Trades46]

Agreed. Back then I hold Toyota & Honda nearly side by side when it comes to long term reliability, but the 1.5L turbo is likely a step too far for Honda & now reliability has deteriorated.

[@sbklvr]

The original Acura RDX has a turbo. They're still kicking with turbo motors . My turbo Volvo 850s had no motor issues after the beating of a highschool kid. We beat the balls off turbo Saabs and Volvos...no motor issues. Now the eclipse/talon turbos sucked, as did the evos. The Rx7 was sketchy ,but the Supras werent.

[@Trades46]

@@sbklvr for more expensive cars which owners are willing to take care of (e.g. never miss an oil change) then they are fine. Toyotas especially true of Corollas are treated as beaters - they will be abused to the limit but will hold together decently.

[@lilymae4131]

I think Subaru has gotten better for quality and with Honda slipping on the 1.5 and also the Odyssey, that they now have fallen behind Subaru. Toyota though does very very well with reliability. It's nice Toyota is starting to make their cars less boring than before.

[@dumpster555]

I've been a long time Honda Civic fan and owner, but this time I opted for a change. I've had my Corolla Hatch for 2 months and LOVE it! Honda's 1.5L turbo felt great but I was concerned about the high oil issues, carbon buildup and potential long-term problems. Sales staff were in denial about these issues... turned me off. Corolla is fun at higher revs. Interior is a bit noisy and smaller. Very happy with this car- so far.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Your logic is sound but this hatch is completely new in all respects so only time will tell if it offers better reliability.

[@davidmorgan8612]

dumpster555 totally agree about the civic engine. I think there is going to be reliability issues later especially with the gas getting into the oil.

[@LukeyShoes12]

Got my 2019 Corolla Hatchback 2 weeks ago and I love the damn thing. I’m surprised you guys didn’t talk about how little body roll the car has. For a not so sporty car, it stays really flat in corners. Also in the US the XSE comes in a manual which is what I have. Also that Defy Media burn was spicy.

[@woodykeiko]

Toyota has better quality than Honda. Ask yourself, how many times have you've seen an old Honda with oxidized paint versus an old Toyota? I've seen way more old Honda's with paint issues than Toyota. I do window tinting. Honda's glass is notorious among tinters for easily scratching with its soft glass, not Toyota.

[@B0D33]

Went with the civic at first, loved it. Then I had loads of fuel in my oil from their defective engine design on the 1.5T and went to a corolla from there. Definitely a compromise in some areas but for the reliability it’s worth it.

[@cooking4times]

I haven't liked many new Toyota's over the past few years, but I think this new Corolla looks really good. Another great review also guys!

[@blakeosbun6371]

I don’t know how you guys got me to watch a video about a Toyota Corolla but you guys are my favorite car reviewers by far.

[@Antenox]

The reason the Corolla fits fewer boxes is because it’s 10(!!!) inches shorter than the Civic hatch. It’s practically a different size class. I’d take the Corolla simply because I like smaller cars in general, and because of standard radar cruise control.

[@tinhinnh]

Antenox civic has become so bloated, its almost same size as the accord

[@intravenousradio]

Very true. The civic has become practically a midsize car now. The corolla is still a true compact.

[@aniketfanse7459]

You could fit one more box in there

[@Naxatthedoor]

@@aluisious true, also at this point it seems like everyone knows someone who has a civic so this Corolla would definitely make you stand out from the crowd, never thought I’d say that but it does😂

[@Naxatthedoor]

No the reason it fit fewer boxes is because they favor Honda over Toyota lmao dude seriously if you rewatch the footage you can still fit like 2 or 3 more boxes in the car😂😂

[@andrewmai1541]

I would pick this Corolla over the Civic hatchback because (1) the Civic is built in England, (2) the Civic does not have port injection (causing eventual clog-up behind the intake valves), (3) the Civic has a turbo, and (4) the Corolla's manual transmission works perfectly in conjunction with the adaptive cruise control (might need to get the XSE Corolla for this -- not sure).

[@lancemontierth4830]

After hearing about quite a few problems with the new turbo engines from Honda I’m going to have to side with the Corolla SE. The Corolla and Civic have always been very reliable cars it is too bad Honda will be having a huge problem with oil dilution and reliability since the turbo came out. Love your reviews guys!

[@spirosmousouris3908]

Smart move from toyota, they took their reliability flagship and gave it character, but not anything extreme, so its still for the masses. Its more future proof this way. I believe its gonna sell well with people that want just a zippy, fun, reliable car, cheap maintenance and insurance, no overheating or complex turbos. Its more down to earth. Well done

[@rightlanehog3151]

Exactly.

[@theconformist2399]

One of the biggest reasons to get the Corolla HB XSE over a Civic EX-T (now discontinued for 2019), Civic Sport sedan (new for 2019), or the Civic Si is the amenities. The Corolla HB XSE is basically the Civic Touring (since it's the top trim), but offered with a manual, which Honda isn't offering. While the Corolla HB isn't as fun or fast to drive, you're getting a lot more in luxuries/amenities (e.g., standard safety tech, blind-spot monitoring, leather seats, heating steering wheel, auto rev-matching, etc.) in exchange. If you consider all those extras a waste of money, then the Civic is the way to go. If you'd rather sacrifice performance for more comfort, than the Corolla HB is the way to go. Well, at least until Honda offers a Civic Touring w/ a manual transmission in the US, anyway. Either way, you can't go wrong with either car. And we should all be grateful Toyota even bothered to put a decent manual in the new Corolla HB. Having more options to pick from for manual-equipped cars is a good thing!

[@skifree0]

Ironically the situation is completely reversed in canada. The XSE doesn't come with a manual up here, so you are stuck with the CVT if you want everything. And then on top of that, The Canadian Si is based on the touring spec.

[@aamir1972]

When you mentioned the keyless entry opening the passenger door, I think that's probably a setting you can configure. I just bought a WRX and my wife kept getting stuck outside just like you guys said until I found out you can change unlock settings in the infotainment! I don't know if that applies to more cars but I would assume it does. I think most cars usually default to only unlocking the driver door for safety purposes. Awesome video as always!

[@SomeLazyDr]

Here's an interesting thing: the Civic and Corolla don't actually compete directly (except for the feature lacking base model Civic). The price point of a mid-level Civic (e.g. the one with a Turbo) is actually about the same as a Camry SE. People go with Corollas because they're usually about $5000 cheaper, and ironically with more features at that price point.

You guy really need to see if you can get the 2019 VW Mk7 Jetta with the 6 speed like my US spec S trim does. I am old AF, almost 52, and thank goodness my mother insisted on teaching me manual on her 1981 Mazda RX7 when I was 16 so I have been doing this awhile. This 6 speed is so easy to drive I would rank it near the top for a good car to learn manual on. Very forgiving and with this new high torque 1.4L turbo four it makes basic driving a breeze with the 184 ft/lbs hitting at 1800 RPMs. Plus fun fact it weighs less than 100 pounds more than a BRZ / 86 and has way more torque, I can keep up with them till about 3rd gear or so depending on driver. Plus I like the new looks for the four door sedan thing, very nice. Love the channel, keep up the awesomeness!

[@guillermosanchez2783]

As a viewer, I like the 911 tests, I love that car and would love to own a manual version, however, I cannot afford it. It's magical to come after that test and see a review of a car that I am going to see on the streets, I love that. It's great that it has a manual. The outside looks are very good. I have an STI, so probably the audio system is better in the Corolla. It is good that the car is different than the Civic in terms of size. Not everybody cares for having a car that brings grown-ups in the back and those usually buy an SUV no matter what. Many times smaller improves the driving experience because the car feels lighter. I would never pay for satellite radio. To me, radio is disappearing in its original form and I do listen to the radio sometimes, but on KZbin channels, so all I care for is for is that the car connects well to the phone. Well done Toyota the car looks revived and it looks that brings a couple of features that make on the driving experience better. I would buy it for my daughter and teach if she were old enough to drive so that she learns to drive a manual and enjoys it. We would care about the looks and she would tell me that this one looks better than the Civic.

10:25 As far as I know, it has Lane tracing assist which *should* keep you in the center of the lane. Maybe the Canadian version doesn't have that?

[@ahkeen]

Civic hands down. You guys should get your hands on the new m2 comp pkg it definitely has a manual handbrake.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Ya we have one this week

[@autorismo]

You guys are just awesome! Fun & interesting to watch. Great info given & you guys collaborated so well! Before, the new looks of the Corolla do surprised me. But a good car is just not about looks. After watching your review, i have to agree that the Civic is better. But, if given a choice, i'll pick either the Elantra GT or Veloster N😉. The new Corolla do looks sportier, but unfortunately it does not drive like one. And hey, I love Canada! 😍

The 6spd XSE is available here in Murrrca 🇺🇸

Corolla cause I don't want gasoline leaking into my engine oil.

[@SOBIsHobbies]

As always, another great video fellas. I checked this Corolla hatchback recently too when I was looking for a daily commuter. Here in the U.S. we actually get XSE trim in stick shift. However, it was too small for hatchback and it's not as much fun. So, I had to pass on that. Ending up getting a used 2007 MX-5 Miata in stick shift with super low miles from the original owner. Small little convertible car with lots of fun to drive.

[@TheStraightPipes]

You made the right choice

[@rightlanehog3151]

Are you familiar with the expression - apples and oranges?

[@brandonhall182]

literally the only way I would ever watch a Corolla review is because of you guys... You could review a matchbox car and make it interesting.

The only probleme to me is that there is no android auto.. Cmon toyota this car is a 2019

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yeah its ridiculous

[@just_cade]

The only thing that has kept me from getting a Camry.

[@leaveearly3751]

It feels as though most luxury cars have only apple car play and not android auto... Could apple be possibly paying the manufactures to exclude android auto so they are forced to buy an iPhone?

[@user-oq3lv6lv7x]

Cade Del Rey i mean they’re adding it for 2019..

[@mohda.9420]

@@user-oq3lv6lv7x has that been confirmed?

[@BellySyrup]

Nice video guys! If you guys have an all out comparison of all new hatches, please... PLEASE do a box test in the veloster. Of all your veloster videos, not 1 box test. lol

[@krtimp]

I have an XSE. It’s not fast at all, but I don’t need a fast car. I love it. The lane keep assist (in the states at least) does keep the car centered. Also, piano black surfaces are awful.

[@chauncey_vw5015]

Sunday morning goodness ! I’m interested in how the Corolla would match up against the new Jetta. Any thoughts? All trims for the Jetta in Canada get the manual 👍🏻

[@trevorbriggs4969]

The Corolla will make it past 100k

[@woblelol]

I would go for corolla because of the reliability

[@No1reallydies]

Trevor Briggs vw golf will make it to 300k easy 😂😂

[@broed731]

Got 100k+ on my Jetta and it's amazing. I say in terms of the driving experience the Jetta will be better , but Toyota will hold value better, and cheaper repairs/maintenance.

[@louisrushbrook7923]

Vincent 17 a golf will only make it to 300,000 if you sink your lifetime earnings into it

[@piersandromannino4109]

Every driver should start driving manual, passing the road test on a manual. Great little car, although the civic is more complete.

[@Robert-jv4hf]

Agreed. Anyone who can handle a manual should be able to easily handle an automatic if they choose to switch.

[@ElSikario100]

... My wife never knows if her side of the car is unlocked or not with keyless entry. You guys are way too insightful. Perfect review as always! Can you get your hands on an Infiniti Q50 3.0t? Been waiting on that review for a while. Unless I missed it.

[@mitchellthurner5980]

Actually really excited for this review lol
