I think you guys did a great job on this and I like watching more of these types of videos from you. I think you should keep doing more shorter builds like this Corolla. This also makes me want one now lol but only thing I think I would do differently is delete 1 of the resonators in addition to the custom axleback exhaust you did. I know it's hard to tell on the video but I'm sure it needs just a little more sound for my liking. :)

Save money for a power adder (turbo, NOS, etc) then add the right suspension and tires to match the cars power output. It's obvious these guys are not happy with the performance. RSR Coilovers = $2000, the Volk Wheels are $3500 but you can get Enkei TS-5 clone for $1000 plus the cost of everything else. I think these guys and everyone here would have been more impressed if they used the money for an 8-15 psi turbo, sway bars, better tires and better struts

I honestly haven't watched many of your videos recently, but really enjoyed EVERY SINGLE video in this series; the importance of putting some time and effort into providing information relevant to your viewer base cannot be overstated. I think a lot of youtube viewers wrench vicariously through the unattainable build series (many of us can barely afford our DD, much less afford a dedicated second build). However, with this series, you build something that your viewers can replicate on their own cars. In terms of ROI for driving enjoyment, modifying a car you drive every day is far more enjoyable than a weekend ride or dedicated track car. If we want to keep the joy of automotive enthusiasm alive, I think this is the way to get there.

I have had my eye on this car since it came out. 169hp, 151lb ft tq, six speed manual, and auto rev-matching (bummer for the spirited car guys but will save you a trans so it gets a pass). It needed Android Auto, which it got. Next is more power, maybe a nice bump to 200 with a small turbo. And a sunroof. But Toyota, if you're listening, I'll skip the sunroof if you give it more power. This is a great platform and I'm happy someone made a video with modifying this car. Europe gets the Yaris hot hatch, so Toyota, we know you're capable of cool stuff. Please do it. PS: I don't like hatches. This car changed my mind. I will own one.

People in the car community should welcome more things like this done to cars. There's so much gate keeping in the community where if you don't have the best sportscar and most power than your car is trash. But in reality we don't need the most aggressive setup for a car to enjoy it. Good brakes, tires and suspension is pretty much what you need, and you done even need that. It's nice to have a car that can take the abuse of daily driving, rain, snow, potholes, road debris kicking up, reliability, and affordable to maintain is something that you miss when you mod a car too far
