Car review in a few | 2019 Toyota Corolla - finally, a hybrid hatchback that's fun...ish

[@plattbridger]

Came to watch a review of a car I was actually considering, stayed, subscribed, and working my way through all the cars. Genuinely great! The clear effort, class editing and detail that goes into these videos deserve way higher subscriber levels than some of the dreck out there 👍 more power to you, Mark!

[@HonestJohncouk2000]

Thanks mate. Really nice to hear and lovely of you to say so. Mark.

[@mariusjakubauskas7488]

The most entertaining car reviewer. I’m still confused why not so many subscribers!?

[@GaryDarbyshire]

Because it's not the "German Automotive Industry Propaganda Channel"... Carwow. 😀

[@gbjwal1]

Marius Jakubauskas yeah, he’s funny and clever and unbiased. Most of the top channels probably pay KZbin to get promoted as suggested channels.

[@TC_Hill]

I'll admit I laughed at the My Corolla joke

[@Elaba_]

The touring will probably be my next car as a used car within 5 years or so.

[@JonathanFeast]

I just don't get why this channel does not have more subscribers? Not only is more effort put into the video production, the reviews are funny, sharp and astute. Couple this with insightful commentary and I just can not see why the boring shite spouted by the wannabe car journalists get more views?

[@footieballer]

Keep not caring, because when “My Sharona” introduces your review, you know I have a smile on my face and the review is going to be top notch. Cheers. PS It never gets old.

[@markusdahmann4107]

With a car "being liked" the comments in the video (not ON it) become very detailed and informative - see the bland "Ford Edge" as opposite to this one. But: I never regret this effect, because in both cases the thick of it becomes cristal clear to the viewer. And again: Brititsh Humour is world leading for me!

[@adamhenderson4318]

WOW, that was much more interesting than other car reviews.

[@saghirahmed5802]

great review. I have subscribed. You should have far more subscribers then 30k. keep up the refreshing reviews.

[@dazsid100]

Nice car & nice review. Keep up the good work 👍🏿

[@dalefullerton4553]

Objectively great, company cars drivers will still pick a slower, low spec 1-Series/A3/A-Class. Toyota will be aiming at these drivers but probably still end up selling most on motability and daily rental. If Lexus do a cloned version of this car, company car drivers still won’t choose one.

[@xenongames7533]

Nice view point :)

[@nudgenudgewinkwink3212]

Companies might sway towards hybrids because of legislation.

[@davidbreeze7425]

Yes but you didn't mention emissions and fuel consumption in your comparison with other cars, but this is why Toyota have been building hybrids for a long time now. Does that have no bearing on your overall verdict ? Surely it must be an important factor in your review as manufacturers and Governments move away from diesel towards electric, hybrids, hydrogen etc. etc. Is it time drivers caught up with them ? Cheers.

[@AndyG73]

Seems like a nice car...at a price. The 1.2T is actually not that slow if the 0-62 figure is to be believed (under 10sec), but I wonder if you can only get it in the Icon spec only with no uprated ICE/satnav. I really like the 2.0 hybrid, but it's what £28k (starting for the top spec only) and I bet it comes only on 18in rims which won't ride well on our roads and cost a fortune when the tyres (ineviatbly) wear out/puncture quicker than standard 16in ones. The saloon is actually a very good looking car, the hatch and estate very nice. Let's hope all can take a spare wheel and tyre in the underboot area and they don't charge the sort of extortionate prices Mazda currently are for the 'priviledge' of having one. Next up (March?): the new Mazda3. Now THAT'S a looker! Let's hope the rest of the car lives up to that standard, otherwise I could be changing brands (I currently own a 13yo Mazda 3 saloon). Nice to see I have an option other than an Audi A3 Saloon (expensivo and that horrid DSG auto box) this time round. Shame that the Honda Civic is too big, too ugly (outside anyway) and WAY too expensive. No wonder they're leaving...

[@CelicaSainz]

What the fuck...? 28000 for the two liter... What if it wasn't built in UK?

[@jezstokes8592]

That’s a good comprehensive review Mark, it is a good looking car. Glad the Auris is dead and buried!

[@OldPortsmouth]

Nice work on the new tats and jean jacket combo - that takes some pulling off - takes our minds off the Toyota mind "howay the lad"

[@Doughnut52]

The Corolla has been going for a long time... like Trig's broom (a reference to an old British comedy show, 'Only Fools and Horses'.

[@batiris]

small passenger leg room (for a family hatch) and no connectivity to mobile phones (in the year 2019) are the two major flaws in this car

[@Sweepdog700]

I like your style and humour, but I like that you actually do know what you’re talking about, oh that would imply that I know what I’m talking about to know that you know what your talking about. Maybe we both know shit all but I like it

[@joaofarinha7953]

This Corolla looks very nice inside and out. Shame the lack of legroom , although you are quite tall. As for the review , another great one!

[@alinmustata]

Joao Farinha how tall it is?

[@barumxxy]

Great video as always

[@GaryDarbyshire]

Hey Mark ... You've got "The Knack" of this ..... I'll get me coat 😀

[@ianburgess1436]

Excellent review. I have just purchased an Audi Coupe for a bit of fun but my next car will be a hybrid.

[@gabyf4874]

This was a great review,thanks !

[@MattuskoZ]

Cvt gearbox in Toyota shall be illegal. Drove a sedan corolla recently in Hungary, automatic, and it was ridiculously slow and loud. You said this one felt faster but didn't look so in the video. Otherwise as entertaining as ever, please keep doing it. Your no using car buying bottle test is worth every penny 😁

[@jamiep61]

Great Video Review. I particularly like the styling and the Hybrid Model Is expected to be the best seller

[@Dirty44harry1]

Love these videos because it makes me chuckle. Carwow is okayish Matt tries to be funny

[@starbees]

Keep up the great work!

[@robertlangham2356]

Good review, helpful and amusing. What's not to like ?

[@stephandolby]

I never bought one (expensive second-hand), but I hear the facelifted CR-Z was a good hybrid (though in the IMA sense), if you don't mind the lack of legitimate rear seating, the typical sporty Honda rear visibility and the fact there wasn't a hot version. Also, I never did see the point behind the CT 200h - calling it a posh Prius is probably being kind.

[@phillipparsons8930]

Does anyone else dislike that sat nav sticking up from the dash?

[@lasseh1576]

Great channel! Make car reviewing great again! ;)

[@tubefan2737]

I watch it for the entertainment....funny and classy guy!

[@shawncordeiro1150]

cruse control in hybrid ?

[@chriscummins261]

The best reviews on KZbin.

[@oldtopgearsaab1]

Im that one customer thats prefers, and will soon be buying, the saloon model 😁

[@chezie2624]

Where is the man with the cap

[@chrisruttle2882]

What did you do to your hands?!!!!!!

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Where's the plug?

[@lukerodgers2713]

Top review again maaaaaaaate :)

[@Fonias26]

Have u tested KIA Niro Hybrid ?

[@MacikHU]

the boot space is only 313l for the 2.0 hybrid... because the battery is bigger :/

[@Anonymous-PL]

2.0 hybrid has a GPF filter ?

[@StellarSheep]

Anonymous nope

[@dimitris.p.kepenos]

I'm waiting for the Touring Sports (Estate, call me boring) but from what I've seen from Toyota I'll wait a bit to see when they will get the Android/Apple auto licence done.

[@batiris]

somewhere in 2020, but not for this car unfortunately

[@bulenterdogan6159]

Too much talking .not much about toyota info

[@leahy202]

What about a Toyota eve or any electric car why o why

[@rabinnuchtabek8140]

I am very surprised why you don't have more subscribers. Because you are really entertaining. If you need help, I am a growth hacker professionally. If you need help, I would gladly brainstorm and try to help out. For free that is because of you are really good and im a fan :)

[@Aaronage1]

Golf GTE? 204PS petrol/electric drivetrain, drives like any other DSG GTx Golf in GTE mode, super responsive and torque-y in any drive mode and a genuine 25 mile plug in/pure electric range (no tiny battery “self charging” bollocks like Toyota is still pushing) I love my GTE. Get a consistent 80mpg on my daily 50 mile round commute driving casually. If I want to hoon about (and don’t mind sacrificing mpg!) I have the option (flappy paddles and all that) :-) Neither the GTE or this Corolla represent the future - but they’re interesting in the near term

[@samdurling6053]

Informative but way too many cuts between each point made.. Can't it be a bit more progressive and flowing??

[@MePeterNicholls]

You’re a giant

[@smaemurray]

Ah yes the old self charging car....no thanks.

[@polopowered]

Two words. 2019 Mazda 3. That is all.

[@RemingtonSVK]

Mazda does not offer a proper hybrid. E-Loop system is years behind competitors.

[@zoidbergzaphod]

Canee geordie accent like!

[@f1simracingdenyvps230]

Sorry but I can not take someone with so many pictures on his arm seriously.

[@HonestJohncouk2000]

Thanks for your contribution. We take it very seriously.

[@j.r.arnolli7494]

Serious?!? Arm and behalve Yourself and take a look at the car(s)🤓

[@angeloshadjiantonis7985]

Looks like a Vauxhall

[@booring2]

Yes, question whether Opel or Toyota, Astra has better interior

[@perittologosmegas2350]

can't subscribe; good presentation but can't stand looking at those Tattoos all the time while he's driving.

[@advancelast1740]

Great review- mediocre car
