Clarkson's Car Years on the Toyota Corolla

Refrigerator? Washing Machine? Microwave? Hahahahaha!

[@Sunset4Semaphores]

That was a great sketch. A 1990s Toyota product was an appliance: dependable service until the heat death of the universe.

[@blasterofmuppets4754]

This was my first car. It NEVER EVER broke down NEVER. Most reliable piece of equipment I ever owned. I also quite liked the way it drove. You had to have a real good feeling for the amount of grip a road has to get it around corners with any amount of speed left thereafter.

[@fivish]

Quite a jostly ride but excellent brakes.

[@raftermanhoward1883]

I guy I know who is around 50 years old has only ever had two cars in his life. A '92 Corolla that he bought in ~95, and after that a '06 Corolla that he bought in ~09, which he's still driving. These cars are insanely good.

[@venelinkeremedchiev9643]

As a Corolla owner i find this very funny 😄

[@esvareinmal1041]

I had one of these , all mechanics hated it because they never could make money of it. Best reliable hard to break car. 💪🏻

[@peterjones6321]

90's Toyotas. The yardstick by which automotive reliability shall forever be measured. Truly incredible.

[@YourDadsBoyfriend]

and never be matched...

[@fadedsideways]

I bought one of these two years ago with a misfited timing gear that was too big and grinding into the oil pan throwing shavings into the oil pan and spitting oil up into the engine bay at the same time.. mechanic replaced the two with the right size and boom, running flawlessly again. Unbelievably reliable! 🤯

[@volebien]

ohh i miss this so much, the end of an era. Glad his farm show is a banger too. In the next couple of years, we won't see Clarkson again, so sad.

I had an FXGT of this generation. It was a blast

[@johnbhoy8813]

Best engines ever made !!! they were bomb proof ! 4A-FE Corolla & 7A-FE Carina & later the MK1 Avensis.

[@horacio1464]

It's pity that he hates it so much. I admit that it can look a bit dull, but it's a driver's car. The 4a-fe engine is spicy and bulletproof and it also has a brilliant suspension

[@karrotop]

Yea, some of the Corollas were boring, some of them were very fun. And all were basically indestructible

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

very good way of documenting the car

[@fivish]

My 1986 Corolla 1.3 GL 5 door was great! My first proper car after the misery of Morris and Ford rubbish.

Absolute Legend 🔥❤️

Bet you'd love to drive my ae112, drive a turbo corolla from Australia. Then you will see

[@videobrains]

That would be a treat. I've had a 7th, 8th, and now an 11th gen Corolla, among other Toyotas since the 70s. But never a high-performance one.

[@miljororforsprakpartiet290]

@@videobrains Why not? Much cheaper than a new one yet far more entertaining.

[@ViperGTS737]

European always like to bash Japanese cars because they are bitter that the Beauty of simplicity and superior engineering has far surpassed European cars, people loved the beatle but when Toyota and Honda made cars that were similar but With modern tech each year they started calling them cheap and bland

[@sgt61]

Brilliant, the corolla is defined to be one of the worst cars ever, yet one of the most "durable" MACHINES.

[@superthierry1]

There are worse.. Just a state of mind 🤣.. Sooner have one than the Euro stuff..

[@anthonykennedy5324]

@@moa-wg3bo Indeed.

[@miljororforsprakpartiet290]

Boring is an emotion you don't want, especially not as an enthusiast. With the Corolla, you pay all your EQ (emotions, such as driving excitement, character, style...) for IQ (costs, safety, practicality...). McLaren F1 is all EQ and a diesel minivan all IQ.

[@anthonykennedy5324]

@@miljororforsprakpartiet290 I am not being half-smart. We are all different. We have different values. I get that. But EQ (as you have expressed It) can be equated to IQ.Can the Corolla also be exciting? Maybe. The new GR may show that it can be.

[@miljororforsprakpartiet290]

@@anthonykennedy5324 Corolla is nowhere near exciting. Looks like shit, has no style such as a coupé, sure it can get a million HP but so do you with any modern overstressed engine; sounds like crap, etc. I'd say it perfectly summarizes the means of a modern car: all numbers, zero excitement.

Corollas are like white goods? Maybe they are but I love my fridge. It keeps my beer cold and it never goes wrong. Clarkson's not as clever as he thinks he is.

[@stevenm7211]

The carrola was for people who just think of a car as an appliance.

And a performance car is just for people who worry about what strangers think about them.

It's a joke that the Corolla is a boring appliance of a car, indistinguishable from the other boring bland econobox cars in the class.
