[@SamoScopom]

deep mysterious voice is now stuck in my head. COROLLA.

[@ethanhawley8191]

This is such a hidden gem on KZbin. Hilarious.

[@danejurus69]

This is by far my favorite review of any car on KZbin. Must've watched this a dozen times over the years. Cracks me up every time.

[@NoStress90s]

just snagged one up today for 900 with 170k miles, they were desperate to get rid of it! I swear this thing drives so smooth!! damn.. that ice cold AC though!! I was freezing my balls off!!

[@NoStress90s]

@Miguel J yeah the a/c still works its a great car. took it to vegas and back from california

[@CruzWithMe]

How many miles now ?

[@TurboTurdBurglar]

Best cheap beaters

[@Seankamrath]

I just bought one today too to save gas

[@HawaiiIslandDancer]

You should be on TV or movies! A natural talent! Great video! Many Thanks!

[@tylermchenry4537]

bought a 2016 corolla s special edition. those cars are so reliable.

[@shirakohamazaki3913]

Bought the 1998 Corolla VE, has 329876KM on it's odometer but it still runs very good, most reliable car in the world the Corolla is.

[@Blakecryderman7244]

@Shirako Hamazaki still driving it 7 years later?

[@rintrah81]

I drove my 98 corolla for 14 years. 14 years and that car would've gone for more. an amazing car.

[@propertyvig7623]

Best used car ad ever, good job man

[@swisherdreamz-trapanova5137]

I just bought a Toyota Corolla 2000 It Rocks

[@jackdamenace13]

Same got a green model, which is my favorite color. It only has a little over 137k in mileage.

[@pathaze4299]

I got the exact same car. It’s white too. It looked the same as this one when I first got it 4 years ago, minus the hubcaps. It’s rockin’ the black steelies. Now it looks really different. I did a lot of cosmetic modifications over the years, like new aftermarket headlights, tail lights, a spoiler, an aftermarket leather shift boot and custom TRD shift knob (cause mine’s a stick shift), a Sony sound system and some little speed stripes on the rockers of the front doors. Still running strong at 191,842 miles. It’s my first ever car I even bought. I got it when I was 16 by myself. Love this thing

[@funbigmama]

have this car, really reliable, drive it everyday have 500k on it

[@CruzWithMe]

Haque Family still works ?

[@costcocombopizza8229]

Dammmn!

[@prophetmichaelwilson]

His Way Of Saying "COROLLA" Is Making Me Wanna Buy One 🤔... 😁😂😂😂😅😅😅... Bruh You Made My Day

[@mr_delivery]

Nice Mann awesome video, it different from all other car reviews

[@jjbuttcheese]

WHY DOESN'T THIS HAVE MORE VIEWS?!

[@Caydoby]

Can we get an updated Corolla video!?!?!!!!

[@neilarsenty]

Just to clarify, Clark Olson is the name of the media company (Guy Clark + Dave Olson). The actor in the video is Neil Arsenty. He is me. Thanks everyone!

[@clarkolsonmedia]

@TheCaseybryan We shot it using a Canon 5dmkii, Edited with Final Cut Pro and the txt was done in After Effects. No effects other than tracking the text to the actor.

[@phych]

The bug flying around during the interior pan shot was a nice touch.

[@travvypoo]

I have 185,000 miles on mine, and it's still running strong. No engine or transmission issues. Toyota built a great car.

[@Martin-id1ri]

you still have it?

[@kmook76]

That's not that many miles, 200 k is basic af on a 90+ toyota. All you need is basic maintenance. Try to go for 400k if you want to impress.

[@MythicalOtter]

This is still hilarious 😂

[@No-hm5tl]

I bought a 2000 corolla the day after this video came out and havent changed the oil in it once. One time I got a flat tire and my Corolla said "fuck that we're good". I have over 250k miles on it and over 2 kids delivered in the back seat and I cant fall asleep at night until I look at that beautiful gray chariot of the gods sitting on my driveway. 10/10 vehicle.

[@kmook76]

Nah fam on the oil, that car would be dead af in about 10k miles max, they burn it like crazy. Yes it's sarcasm from you but these cars are notorious for burning oil after 100k

[@damonblankenship9450]

I bought the college bound a 2000 with 67,000 original miles. 2K......thought about keeping it for myself, but the 4Runner is in the same class. ( sort of )

[@lardman5253]

this was actually funny and helpful. ESPECIALLY because mine is missing the A/C faceplate and so when I got it I had no idea what it was. but then the panoramic view of the interior and center console really helped out. thank you!!

[@MiamiAtNight]

Best review I have ever seen in my life! lol wish it was longer.

[@caitlinnance9431]

Favorite ad for anything ever. He did not get paid enough for this

[@clarkolsonmedia]

@LeadHammer Nope, It was the first week I had the camera. So pretty much everything was by hand. I've since upgraded into some of that stuff.

[@clarkolsonmedia]

Hooray we won!! Thanks for all the love guys.

[@Jarvis466]

I have this type of car. And let me tell you, it's everything I've ever wanted. And more.

[@kenisgone]

is the mpg really as bad as he says??

[@TheManWithNoName93]

i got one, its got the sporty 5 speed manual tran though. fastest car on the road

[@stonecoldsteveautism8841]

The Man With No Name Corolla

[@Carobug5]

I own a '99 Corolla, and it has been reliable no matter what! I live in an area where the winters are particularly rough, and it is a blessing for me. I received the car from my grandfather and it had just about 33,000 miles. I haven't had a problem yet and neither has my parents. I guess we own a good one! ;)

[@asg102]

THIS WAS AMAZING! great job!

[@SuperNuclearDeath]

Love that ending

[@treblehead1]

very awesome and very funny. "Like an elephant!"... Congrats Guy, Dave and Neil. Been wondering what you guys have been doing since high school. Oh. this is Ken Kourt, btw. Congrats again.

[@TheCaseybryan]

Best part "That's a lot of glue." What did you use for editing and effects. I really like the look of the video.

[@massacremasses]

I have a Toyota Corolla. And I approve this message.

[@DjSeptimus]

Passed my driving exam in this one today. This is a great car!

[@olsond76]

@markreiley Hey Mark, I'm the shooter editor. I used a home made slyder for the dolly shots and After Effects for the motion tracking text. Thanks, glad you liked it.

[@MarkWReiley]

Love the very smooth camera work moving and panning over the car. Was it dolly on a budget? Also, would be interested to know how the subtitles were tracked to the movement of the actor's head!

[@daviddejesus5869]

"It won't turn heads but it will turn right"😂😂😂

[@ItCantRainForever2]

Funny video. Love it. Made me laugh. Is this still legit for 2024. I found one 187,000 miles

[@BoopCat]

2020 and still gold

[@westie211]

can we please get a video with just the "corolla" lines? those might perhaps be the best part.

[@yangdax]

this is awesome, my first car was a rusted up 98 corolla in white, it was majestic

[@mychiefs58]

way to go, dave! that last scene is awesome!

[@TheHDreality]

@BloodyTheMoon I'm surprised how effective adding those barely-related values together was on me in thinking it was safe.

[@DarkwerefoxRed]

So you like also like cars like me. Toyota is one of my favorites too. Specially the first 3 production lines, where this one is from. Their paint is indestructible, that is so cool and the really hold it together for very long, if fixed and driven properly. That's what a good car is for me, cheap and safe and cool bonuses(like the paint and ECO/UNECO systems on Toyota) or the luxury and acceleration of a BMW... Cool video and specially the credits joke!!! LOL

[@manoleo1]

dude you are very good you are much better than so many people on tv but good for nathing,

[@ca13814]

I have SO got to do something like this for my car!

[@skyboom64]

well done lads. that was first class.

[@troutman747]

This is absolutely awesome. I vote this guy for Toyota marketing president for a lifetime term.

[@wearethepeaple]

The quality of the writing is great

[@faithingod9554]

Corolla is the most reliable car ever built

[@nateriesen]

That was an excellent video and a great selection for first place. Great job gentleman, great job!

[@TheDanLevy]

Did you win the KBB.com contest? You damn well should have!

[@Kenquinones]

LMAO, this just made my day...because i have the exact same COROLLLAAA

[@ChrisMoodie91]

@allentonian1 performance parts? you should look into getting a civic

[@PurpleXVI]

This is a gorgeous video. You should be on Top Gear.

[@QuadroNVS]

you just sold this car well, Ill take two

[@honestycounts9352]

I drove a 1999 Corolla VE (Canada), and it was really great. I went to a 2006 Corolla CE and discovered that Toyota had raised the belt-line on the new design, so now I had to raise the seat up higher to get the same view out over the hood. I enjoyed the old car a lot but the new 2006 design is a little bit more 'plush', more of a luxury feel to it. Tried a test drive of the new 2009 Design and it was AWFUL, really awful compared to the previous design. So when my 2006 started to have problems after it passed 200,000 miles, I bought a used 2008 model instead, one that had only 40,000 miles on it, almost brand new. If i was to get a new car now I would buy the new 2017 Hyundai Elantra. I was thinking of the Mazda3 because I would never buy a CVT automatic, but I don't like the radio controller that the Mazda3 has down near the gear shifter, I could never get used to that, I want a conventional volume knob up near the radio itself. And while a VW Golf might seem okay, I don't trust turbos, I would always wonder when that turbo in the 1.8 engine was going to start having leaking oil seals.

[@sorrowcat2724]

This really was one of the best cars ever made tbh. I love these cars pretty damn bulletproof.

[@ingridmayy]

That ending part cracked my ribs, and am still laughing Hahaha

[@faithanelia]

I'm so proud to own a 2000 Corolla now.

[@SwimFlySwim]

congrats on the win! Fun, plus more info than I ever needed to know about that car. "Like an elephant." You're a funny guy! :)

[@clarkolsonmedia]

Thanks for all the kind words. I guess we'll have to make some more videos.

[@AmazingOllie09]

I need to hire this guy as my son's marketing guru!

[@isurus0]

@clarkolsonmedia yes, more! this was awesome.

[@olsond76]

@ChibiGamez Hey, I'm the shooter editor. I used Final Cut Pro for the editing, and After Affects for the motion tracking text.

[@VampiratExChipmunK]

I'm gonna be saying "Cooorroooolllllllaaa!" all day now... xD

[@FuriousFreeze]

0:20 is that ronald jeenkees music? if so, why did you not credit him?

[@ToaHurlak52]

Just bought it and.....I LOVE IT!!

[@granderzchichi]

where has this video been all my life! ahhaha! i love it!

[@JoeFpoc]

that car is sweet. my first car was a 81 corolla that was in 3 accidents before i got it.

[@larseiriknilsen4614]

best car review i ever watched!

[@sergi044]

I want one of these... But will it blend?

[@ajnode]

I used to drive a '99 Corolla Conquest in Granny white, was the best car I ever had.

[@huyryo]

shut up and take my money !!

[@fromtheforest4413]

best car commercial ever.

[@EnTheosUsmus]

Great car without a doubt. Does it really has 125hp? I thought it was less than 100...

[@Meyanoos]

DudE!!! I loved your review!! it was hilarious and very informative!!! I have a 99' Toyota Corolla, and I enjoy it... Zippy, and powerful enough.... (: Cheers, William... PS: hope you make more videos...

[@ToadRocket]

@TH3B34ST31 do you have aftermarket parts?

[@denglish88]

Best car review ever

[@clarkolsonmedia]

@normalpsychology Wow! Not sure how we inspired that but good luck man! And thanks for serving.

[@TheITGuy84]

I have a european corolla, its a very reliable car. Mine is from 1997 and ran 220.000 km and the only thing that ever broke down was te transmission.

[@mrflamewars]

The 2000 got Variable Valve Timing and Coil on plug ignition, so go make fun of a 98 or 99. If you go skulking around a junkyard you can add a tachometer instrument cluster and variable intermittent wipers for like $30 all in.

[@MayerEO]

I don't get it. How do you make a very great and concise review so funny?? You sir, have a gift!

[@soaresproductions355]

How did you do the affects where the txt moved with objects on the screen?

[@danzinnyman]

Currently at the dealership buying this car

[@citiblocsMaster]

The end is pretty epic

[@phaerius8265]

Years after I first saw this, I just bought my first car, the 2000 Toyota Corolla in mother of pearl white. It's my own personal sex machine.

[@samleeroy5638]

finaly some good and honest review !!! big thumbs up

[@AnbuSoldier87]

definitely has that top gear feeling

[@etygfhgfhbkvvjhvhc3167]

تحيا الكورولا من الجزائر

[@TCreatorO]

yeah the 1998-2002 corollas are known for being the worst corollas when it came down to reliability, they are known for using more oil than gas! I know 4 people that have owned one from those years range and they all burn a lot of oil. all the previous models are known to be cheap, affordable, economic, and best of all reliable. the ones from 2003-2008 are known for being economic, and reliable, the ones from 2009-2010 are know to be death traps for sticky gas pedal, 2011+"fixed that issue"

[@Wayneburg]

Wow this is a great video. It's an honor to be in the same contest with you. I really like the use of text, especially when it matches your movements. And the last part when you fall LOL. Great stuff. You definitely listed this correctly as comedy.

[@salitra]

This is called current age marketing. Great stuff..

[@oldschool1928]

Toyota's new Marketing Director, right here. :)

[@reallyrandomrides1296]

Haha, that was great! Love the sarcasm! The only thing better would be if it were grandmother beige, the ultimate color for a Corolla (or Camry), lol! BTW, I inherited my mother's 2003 Corolla a few years ago when she could no longer drive. Unfortunately, it's mineral green. I put sexy 16" 5 spoke Matrix wheels on it though, and I've driven it from Montréal to San Diego (before Covid).

[@BrandonValiquette]

@MrAquapluto that means it had a 7 star safety system

[@tyranicle1975]

If you're reading this do not go to college. Get a job as either a welder, truck driver or pipe fitter. You'll make a lot more money in the long run.
