2022 Toyota Corolla Apex SE Edition Overview

[@MPowerSubie12]

Awesome video! Toyota really needs to bring this back in XSE and 6-Speed! The Cement color is 🔥 Looks amazing for the price and that shifter is perfect. Just toss in some GR seats ✅

[@jeesusso]

I own and daily a 22’ apex, it’s not that bad, just a little slow with the cvt. I bought mine back in october and the dealer has had any apex trims since then

[@microminiskirt]

CVT is slow. Should have got the 6 spd. manual which is more reliable and more durable than the CVT transmission.

[@ericperez6716]

Is there bronze stitching inside the car?

[@antoniocail5608]

this car is sporty very nice 👍

[@julio4thelels805]

Big question, what’s the difference between the apex se and the apex xse?

[@Krowicki]

apex xse gets some extras like blind spot monitors, rcta, a 7 inch screen in the dash between the gauges, and the heated leather seats

[@remzomehinovic4571]

But the xse doesnt come in a manual

[@NGMonocrom]

@@remzomehinovic4571 More important than that, it doesn't even come with a turbo charged engine option for a bit of fun behind the wheel.

[@microminiskirt]

@@NGMonocrom If you want a Turbo then get the Honda.

[@microminiskirt]

@@remzomehinovic4571 I just want an SE Corolla Hatchback with 6 spd. manual.

[@calfagra]

What is your camera? It's so good, looks so sharp while recording the machine

[@Krowicki]

I use my phone it's a samsung galaxy s20 ultra. I actually bought the s22 ultra recently because I wanted a better camera quality for the videos. It should be in use by next week's videos

[@antoniocail5608]

I have to say this car is sporty I like it

[@NGMonocrom]

Good review. Rather disappointing at what this trim level is missing. Clearly Toyota is trading on the Corolla's legendary reputation for reliability. It looks faster than it is. But for literally the same price, you can get a KIA Forte GT that is also a compact sedan. Has an engine that makes 201hp., and gives you a ton of features standard.

[@microminiskirt]

But again Toyota is reliable. I don't know about how reliable the CVT is but I want a 6 spd. manual anyway.

[@Krowicki]

Toyota also as an XSE version of this which will give you more features for not much more money but you lose the option for the manual transmission

[@microminiskirt]

@@Krowicki What are those features that you give up for 6 speed manual on USA market Corollas?🤔

[@Krowicki]

mainly just blind spot monitors, sunroof, softex leather seats, and a larger screen between the gage cluster.

[@microminiskirt]

@@Krowicki All I need are the blind spot warning sensors but given the corolla hatchback design I am not sure if this option is really NEEDED or a deal breaker.🤔 I know the leather seats aren't since I usually put covers over them but leather seats are a nice luxury feature. I don't care or use the sun roof it just makes the car noisey and hotter like an extra window with green house effect. Those 18 tires and wheels just add a bumpy uncomfortable ride, cost🤑 more to buy at initial purchase as well as to maintain. The wheels n tires are purely cosmetic and attract car thieves and just more headaches like curb rash and tires wear out faster and cost more to maintain than standard tires n wheels.

Does the Se have a cvt?

[@BradimusMaximus78]

Hmmm. With that engine it’s not much of a match for the Civic SI, even with a MT. But hey, I haven’t driven it and it is a good value.

[@braetonwilson4296]

Apex is all about handling, not 0-60 time. Corolla Apex handles far better than a Civic Si.

[@NGMonocrom]

Forget Civic Si. It competes well with the Civic Sport trim. Which also looks very sporty on the outside, but is only available with the Non-Turbo charged engine from Honda. Making only 158hp. The SE Apex Corolla wouldn't even be able to compete well with the Civic EX (one trim above the Civic sport). The EX gets a toned down Turbo charged four cylinder engine. But unlike the Si's, the EX's Turbo is good for only 180hp. (The EX is also the fastest, least expensive Civic that comes with an automatic transmission.)

[@Andrewace432hz]

I have a question for the toyota safety sense thing with road sign assistance I keep seeing people's windshields have they speed they are going is that part of the car or is that a reflection or something I'm confused by it

[@cheneylu9814]

they got a heads up display

[@Krowicki]

Just like another commenter here mentioned, it’s a head up display which the corolla doesn’t have the option for. In the corolla’s case, the speed limit would be displayed on the dash.

[@ciaraadams4373]

I have this car should I be putting premium gas in this car ?

[@Krowicki]

no need, it may look cooler than a normal se corolla and have stiffer suspension but the engine is the same. just use regular

[@microminiskirt]

NO BLIND SPOT WARNING SYSTEM😱???

[@Krowicki]

apex xse gets it

[@microminiskirt]

@@Krowicki TO ME THAT FEATURE IS THE GAME CHANGER AND GREAT FEATURE ALL NEW CARS HAVE.👍 DOES XSE COME IN A HATHBACK. WHAT IS AUTO REV CONTROL ON 6 SPD. THAT YOU CAN TURN ON OR OFF?🤔 PLUS WILL THE COROLLA XSE OUTLAST THE HONDA CIVIC COUNTERPART? SI OR 1.5 TURBO?

[@NGMonocrom]

It's a compact. Signal, check your side mirror, then when safe to do so, rotate your neck and look over your left shoulder; out your Driver's side window. There's your _manual_ Blind Spot Monitoring System.

[@microminiskirt]

@@NGMonocrom Neck cramps🤮

[@NGMonocrom]

@@microminiskirt Buy you one of those small, slightly dome shaped blind spot mirrors. Put it on your driver's side mirror. No need to turn your neck. Seriously, blind spot monitoring is one of the most ridiculous features ever invented for cars. Especially compact ones, like the Corolla.

[@AFX79]

To bad there aren't any available ANYWHERE.
