[@Username85254]

I own a 94 Corolla with over 300k miles and no mechanical problems at all.

[@Username85254]

***** 90% stock from factory.

[@bryandoherty9399]

That's believable. I bet you just did regular maintenance like fluid at the required points and replacing the timing belt when it's due

[@kssnyder2]

I had a very similar experience with my 95 Corolla

[@gibbethoskins8621]

wochoa My uncle has a similar story, very reliable, practical vehicles.

[@JayMiV]

wochoa Mines an 05 with 154,000 miles. Never once had to be repaired for anything. This is why I want that corolla in the video next haha

[@gabrielhernandez4875]

This is actually the best review i've ever seen, because you really understand what a car is and who's buying it, you've really found the point. Yeah we're car enthusiasts and yes we love power but we're minority in car consumers, and most car reviewers are car enthusiast and most of the time they end their videos saying that they're boring cars because they lack of power and torque, and those cars don't have that racing purpose at all. I'm a BIG fan of you and i've seen like 90 percent of your videos and I love the abilities of transmmiting ideas that you have, it's amazing! You think in everything so everything is easy to follow, learn and understand for people that are not engineers and do not know nothing about cars, you're amazing and your recording and editing skills as well because as we can see, you do it all by yourself. Greetings from El Salvador (smallest country in central america) and keep it up buddy!

[@tails300]

You can thank the added overdrive gear, that’s what helps you maintain high speeds with low engine rpms.

[@greglaurence7707]

Normally, I find car reviewers lacking any mechanical knowledge and reviewing the car related to its intended function. Surprisingly, these reviews are fantastic. Informative and loving the technical knowledge. Best I've seen in a long time.

[@Jasiel.95]

YES!

[@niklow99]

Thank you for the honest review. It's nice to hear someone actually rate this car for what it is - its incredible how some reviews on youtube expect a 300hp/dual clutch on these things. it costed me roughy $100/year to regularly maintain a corolla in the day. Reliable Park, Drive, Reverse car that will serve 200k miles easily.

[@crisissocoylike]

I wish it drove like a Jetta/Audi A3, though! Then the Corolla would be perfect!

[@eddyboh2723]

It could, if you swap the engines or were to buy a Jetta/Audi engine, given the thrust-to-weight ratio this car is more likely to be compatible to a Jetta/Audi engine.

[@FT9chango5]

You mean 300k

Corollas are probably the best dependable car you can buy, I have a 2003 Corolla S, that a I bought new, its my secondary vehicle and it still runs like a champ.

[@Lucky8s]

+Kevin Choi How's the CVT and have you experienced issues, if any, with the car yet?

[@cheesecakelife526]

+WuWei Xu mines 22k miles and no issues shifting is by far still just as smooth

[@butterfury]

+WuWei Xu No issues whatsoever. Gear ratio changes are smoother than actual gears. Paddies let you enter manual mode for a bit even in just D mode. It let's you 'shift' gears on the fly, pretty helpful if you need engine braking.

[@unlimitedpotential8073]

how bout now?

[@manuelgalang4676]

Great review. I just helped my daughter purchased the same model few months ago. Why Corolla? We have 2003 Corolla CE with 630,000 km and still drives like a year old car. The only thing that was replaced in the engine is just the starter at 475,000 km. The front suspension was replaced at 420,000 km, sway bar at 530,000 km, wheel bearing in both front and rear at driver's side at 425,000 km, rear wheel bearing at passenger's side at 600,000km, the other is still original. The rest are original other than the normal replacement of spark plugs, pcv valve, serpentine belt, brake pads. The front rotor is still original! Yes the rotor is 630,000 km. This car is driven around 57,000 km per year, all summer and winter here in Toronto. The only maintenance I regularly do is oil change, cleaning of throttle body and MAF sensor. Drive it normally and I still average 15 km/l during summer and 14 km/l during winter. Ofcourse you have to be a safe and courteous driver to have the car live this long. Am I lucky to continue enjoy driving this car or the fact remains that if you treat any kind of car properly that it will reward you with long reliable vehicle. By the way, since owning this 2003 Corolla CE, only 2 ocassions this car failed to start. First, when after 5 years the battery reached it life, and secondly, when the starter failed. This car just simply starts in all kind of weather condition. Thank you toyota. You are the car that is fun to drive and own.

[@tjjavier]

Manuel Galang Wow 630,000 km!! That's awesome. Are you filipino btw? You base mileage on km, and I noticed your last name is Galang.

[@bartmostowiak5253]

Manuel, amazing details on your prized Corolla. I'm jealous of that mileage and I'm hoping you get it to a million. Is it a manual transmission or automatic?

[@gibbethoskins8621]

[@eddyboh2723]

Funny how people throw around adjectives to describe Corolla such as "economic & affordable", like they can just throw around 21k-18k effortlessly or are they just completely oblivious of how that actually sounds to MOST people world wide and even in the US that's a significant amount of money, given the frequency at which most people in US could say that.

Is this still true of the CVTs?

Driving a 1993 corolla, amazing to see the progress it's made from then to now

[@eclectic_musafir]

Great review. I'm a Mechanical Engineering student myself, and I bought a 2017 Corolla SE to replace my "fun & unreliable" MINI Clubman S. Most reviewers snobbishly pan the car, but it's a decent driver, and it's rock-solid reliable. This is my first Japanese car, after having a go with American and Europeans for the last 17 years. That is more important than anything else, speaking from the viewpoint of someone who just ditched a sport-tuned, turbocharged British/German car that cost 50% of purchase price in maintenance. From an engineering perspective, that "measly" 132 horsepower, dated engine design translates to higher fatigue endurance limits in the powertrain, has collectively accumulated billions of miles of proven performance, has had the benefit of incremental iterative refinements, all of which are far superior to a "cutting-edge" design that may diminish the car's reliability. Nobody who even looks at this car cares about speed, maneuverability, or uniqueness; they care about getting from point A to B with minimal fuss and unpleasant surprises. Toyota knows who their audience is, and 50 years of production speaks for itself. A Corolla is not meant to be a track car, it's meant to be the car that goes 250,000 miles without a sweat, and without denting your wallet. The car is a good performer, the engine bay facilitates easy long-term maintenance, and it has adequate power for 99% of driving. I like my Corolla, and kudos for a technical review that focuses on its individual merits.

[@nahom9294]

I travel a lot and i been driving same since 2014 till now 2019 with 370,000 km and I got to say other than regular requirements like oil, tire, filter etc i have never experienced a major problem with this car

[@roaddogg800]

Thanks!

[@wardgregg2001]

Timothy Shelsea How are you liking the 2015 Toyato Corolla S Plus so far? I am looking to purchase one here soon would love any feedback you can give me. Thank you in advance

[@roaddogg800]

wardgregg2001 After having the car for about a month and a half, I'm still very happy. I've watched some comparison videos with other cars in its class like the Mazda 3 and Honda civic and have drawn these conclusions... The Mazda 3 is the most sporty & fun to drive and the Honda Civic is the most youthful & modern tech featured. The Corolla seems the most refined and grown up. ..in other words, my Corolla S Plus feels like I could park it next to an Audi A4 or BMW 3 series and it would fit in. The LED highlights are a win and the S Plus features make it the only version I'd buy. Very happy overall.

[@wardgregg2001]

Timothy Shelsea Thank you for the feedback. I'm going to go get it here soon.

It was my first toyota at the time. Ironically I still see it often. Most reliable car I have ever owned.

[@treyalston3414]

I respect all car reviewers and I enjoy watching their videos but I will say this, you are better than most of them and you don't give us your bias opinion you give an honest opinion. People always want to say that cars like this is boring. Hello! I work at a Dollar Store who sometimes want to go to the mall, or the movies, and sometimes want to go out of town that my maybe 40 minutes or an hour away from where I live. Like whether it has the features of a sports car or not is of little importance to me. I care about gas mileage so that I can save a buck or two. I just want a nice dependable car that is going to last me a long time if I take good care of it. That's all.

[@ElenaLopez-jk7dq]

If you are a girl and want to learn a little more about cars, watch this review! I was surprised I actually didn't get bored hearing all this stuff about cars! Good job on this review.

[@PenguTT44-sh2oe]

I am a car enthusiast who likes the Corolla, and appreciates that you have to have a bunch of boring models to get a few cool variants here and there.

[@Jabid21]

The reputation Toyota has for boring, economy car is really rooted in the American and European mindset that I'd call, First World Problems. This mindset made Toyota create separate brands for luxury cars, Lexus in the first place. If you look at the models Toyota offers in the Asian, Australian and JDM market; Toyota has some luxurious and exciting models that rival or even surpass its sibling Lexus has to offer. Examples include Toyota Crown, Crown Majesta sedans and Alphard/Vellfire minivans. Search them in google and see what I'm talking about.

[@jdmimprezal3753]

My Brother has a 1986 toyota cressida and indeed it was such a luxurious car for its days, came with power mirror, window, cruise control, power locks, alarm, headlight washer fluid, and amplified am/fm radio with cassette

[@happyidiot9267]

Another excellent review ! Very thorough. I really like the format of your reviews, covering every aspect of the car - the mechanics, the exterior, the interior, the tech features. the driving experience, fuel economy, pros n cons. I've always believed that engineers make great car reviewers, and this is excellent proof ! Please teach other reviewers a thing or two because this is how a car should be reviewed ! Say, are they paying you for these reviews ? I'd hope so. With no hesitation do I say that you are, by far, the best car reviewer on KZbin, and I have seen many reviews and reviewers.

[@EngineeringExplained]

Happy Idiot Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoy the review style! I'm very new to this world, hoping for this segment of my channel to have some healthy growth (along with the more established content, of course).

[@happyidiot9267]

Engineering Explained I really think that this segment of your channel IS going to see a lot of popularity because, even though the engineers in your audience (like myself) enjoy learning theory, and it's great that you have videos that explain auto tech theory, most people (I think) like to see that theory applied, and people can better relate to actual cars than theoretical concepts (again, I enjoy the theory very much, but just speaking for the majority). So, keep up the good work ! And, it just so happens, that you do car reviews very well, so you're stuck with doing them :P

[@dougturner370]

I have owned this car for a year and of all the reviews I have watched you reviewed this car perfectly. Great car and a great review!

[@dreiz.]

This was my first car ('16 Corolla S+ CVT). Lease for two years. Decent car, some QC issues I noticed on the paint and windows so I wouldn't buy one without a thorough inspection. Noise level is pretty quiet on the highway (compared to an Impreza hatch). S (sport) mode is fun, higher gears ratio but eats gas obviously, the steering feels a notch heavier too. In sport mode it gets around 26mpg for me. For a college student/work this is a good commuter car and you can fit 4 passengers with plenty of room. The only thing I dislike is how small the brakes are in this car. I always feel like I'm on its limits but maybe I just drive too fast. For highways, just flick the sport mode on to merge or pass cars and off you go but regular mode does feel really slow. It does have that dual-purpose personality; one for an older person that can use this as a daily cost effective commuter and the second one for the younger college kids first car that doesn't break the bank. $2100 down $99/month deal.

[@derrickjones3505]

Wow did you get it used or brand new? That's hella of a deal for $2100 DP & only $99 a month

[@dreiz.]

Baller Boy new, it was an online flyer deal that my dealership advertised during the holidays. This was the cheapest when i cross-shopped civic, accord, elantra, etc.Also my credit is pretty boss :)

[@747-pilot]

The reason one can get such great LEASE deals on these cars is because they hold their value LITERALLY like gold! *Residual values* are sky high because they are so DEAD reliable and durable. Insane longevity!!

[@juice323blue4]

He's the only one that does a real review

[@Hazdazos]

You have to increase your mileage trip distance. ~50 miles is not even 2 gallons of gas, and is not a long enough distance to get a reasonably accurate MPG rating in a variety of conditions and situations. In your videos you have consistently gotten WAY higher mileage numbers than just about any other reviewer out there and I believe this is the reason. Great videos other wise - very detailed.

[@EngineeringExplained]

Hazdazos The reason I get better mpg (aside from maybe a 5-10% error in reading) is because maximum speeds are low and I drive pretty efficiently (especially on this course, which I know very well). The MPG numbers I post are certainly possible, but could have approx 5-10% error from what I've discussed with people who understand this much more than I.

[@CleverFix]

[@toytec2]

Liamv4696 forget those seats.. they are too heavy anyways.

[@Liamv4696]

[@konchy]

I am interested in getting a Corolla. But have read about a bunch of CVT issues. Comparing the design of a CVT vs a conventional automatic transmission, It looks like the CVT would have a lot of wear and tear from the rubbing of the V-belt against the metal pulley. Which should cause a lot of metal particulates to be floating around in the CVT fluid. The older Corollas are known to be bulletproof, and was wondering if these CVT Corollas will hold up.

[@jdmimprezal3753]

Dont really understand why people complain about performance of the new corollas, its not a sport car, it will never be like the 1986 gts, its made for daily driving. If people wanted a sports corolla, get a 1985-86 gts twincam, rwd and fun to drive. I own a 1980 toyota corolla 1.8 and it has the ultimate sports feel despite i did put mods in the car to put down 150hp on 2300 lbs but its fun to drive just like my 98 impreza gc8

[@cosmo9456]

I find my corolla pretty fun to drive because it had some pep and its a lighter car, turns easy and drives easy

[@UhBuddy1976]

Finally. Someone that agrees with me. I think the Toyota Corolla drives excellent with the CVT and the engine that it has. I have a 2017 with 30,000 miles on it. Yes at start off it is not the fastest car but if you're on the highway going 55 or 60 miles an hour and you want to pass somebody it will go around someone quite quickly with the way that CVT operates.

[@nettle97008]

I loved the 2014 Corolla S when I had one as a loner, but not enough to buy one and trust the long term reliability of a belt and pulley CVT. People like to point out the reliability of the Prius CVT, but the Prius has an eCVT, which doesn't have a belt and pulley and is an entirely different type of transmission. I did test drive a 2014 Corolla L trim with the 4 speed AT, but the 4 speed just made the Corolla unappealing to drive. The skinnier tires of the Corolla L added to its unappealing to drive nature. I opted for a 2013 Civic EX with 5 speed AT, it's much better than the Corolla 4 speed and the 2013 Civic's handling is amazing! The multi-link fully independent rear suspension in the Civic just blows away the semi-independent torsion beam suspension in the Corolla. But the 2013 Civic EX has its flaws. I do admit that I like the 2014 Corolla S's instrument layout more than the 2013 Civic. The two tier instrument panel in the Civic is gimicky IMO. My eyeballs don't simultaneously see upper and lower levels at the same time because I'm not a chameleon! I'd rather have both analog, side by side tach and speedo in the Corolla. The 5 inch display in the 2013 Civic looks more like a 3 inch display when it displays the backup camera because it's further away, to the right in the upper tier instrument panel. I'm thinking of getting an aftermarket head unit to get a proper sized backup camera display for my Civic. The Bluetooth in the 2013 Civic EX is slow to pair with my phone, sometimes taking over 30 seconds. The same phone pairs with a Bluetooth speaker or Bluetooth headphones in just a couple of seconds. And the 2014 Corolla S comes with paddle shifters and a smart key, which you don't get in a 2013 Civic EX.

But I can't say the Corolla is a bad car, because it isn't. Both the Civic and Corolla are both good cars. You can't go wrong with either of them, take care of them do regular maintenance and it will last you for ever.

Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this vehicle. I expected everything to feel cheap - the only two things that looked/felt cheap were the gauge cluster (by day, at night it looks fine when backlit), and the rear cupholders.

[@aDIYCarGuy]

Engineering Explained Yea not bad at all. I liked when you said the gauges are a "tacky blue little dial gauge system." lol

[@EngineeringExplained]

a DIY Car Guy I've never been good at English.

[@aDIYCarGuy]

Engineering Explained I probably would have said something similar | to the "tacky blue little dial gauge system."

[@aDIYCarGuy]

Engineering Explained But you do have a positively fine vocabulary, good sir.

[@tysonb8328]

Just something to mention, That block in the elise not only has a supercharger on it, but it gets sent to Yamaha for tons and tons of headwork.

[@troywagnon135]

It's a good daily when your all about that 5.0 pinto life on the weekend

[@jdmtoyota7079]

So much power adjustable things we own a 99 corrola Manuel everything it's at 299500 kilometres or 184 k miles. It's still running good.

[@ivanb05]

You like the corolla (like the format of your car reviews), you like Formula 1, i like your videos. You have earned a new subscriber and a top 5 of favorite youtubers. Keep up the good work.

[@PenguTT44-sh2oe]

The paddle shifters being good is a result of Toyota making parts first and cars second. Parts bin cars are RAD!

[@jdsinsured]

this is such a clean car!

[@lito_323]

Very professional, informative, and non biased review. Thank you for your videos. I suggest you do a review on the accord sport because there aren't any reviews out there that are as helpful and informative. Cheers.

Have had my 2016 since new and the only thing I've replaced is the tires, car is absolutely solid and dependable. If you live in a warm climate invest in some quality summer tires like the Michelin PS4S, car will handle like a gokart but is still quiet and comfortable to daily drive

[@JayMiV]

Lol, the 'iphone holder' is not that at all haha. The walls of this 'iphone holder' move back and forth to allow smaller cups to fit snuggly into the cup holders.

[@czaromar]

Jay Milligan but still it's a good place to put your phone :)

No one wants a 6” phone in their pocket for a commute.

In 2017, Toyota made several safety features standard, that are optional on other cars. It's part of Toyota's Safety Sense package. The SE replaces the S. Also, leather seats and heated seats are optional and so is heated steering wheel.

[@bronzeman-je2pd]

I own a 2005 corolla xrs( manual, 175,000 miles) witch I'll past down to my father. i would never sale it, it was my college companion plus too many memories.

[@busywl69]

will probably get this exact year and model when I'm done with my 09' scion. Used be a huge honda fan but wow do they get beat the hell up when you are on the used market. Toyotas just seem to be driven by more civilized folks who aren't trying to fast n furious their way to Walmart.

[@nukka200]

great video. I like your reviews buddy, very mechanic-based. you gotta check your comments though! I've asked you quite a few questions on your other videos with no answer lol just saying

[@sohanbaddewithana8055]

One of the best reviews I watched. Thank you very much for the great job. Keep up the good work ! :D

[@southernberean8166]

Once again I have to come back to your channel to learn the specifics and the information I want about my own car -2018 Toyota corolla SE-any other channel just doesn’t come close to what I’m looking for

[@solofalcon]

Had 2 of these a 2014 and a 2015 at my local Toyota dealership with parts on backorder, ended up with a Dart GT, not waiting around for backordered Toyotas.

[@lekanajadi8712]

Hoping to get this as my first car. I have no money currently, but by faith. I'll get this car this year

[@mrs6544]

It’s my first car 🖤

[@sejirbenothmen7652]

great review !! do more please , this so much intresting than the crap we see on you tube called "reviews"

[@Charles_Mulberry_7977]

Excellent review. I wish there were more reviews from people like this that actually understand how cars work. Thanks. Keep them coming sir. I will keep watching.

[@Charles_Mulberry_7977]

I also like the first person view from the camera so you can show exactly what one would see sitting there. Awesome!

[@manoleo1]

now this is what i call a perfect car review! excellent! thanks!

[@anunknowndude]

Your reviews are by miles the best I've seen. I love them! I love your channel too ;) I hope you can make mooore reviews in the future

[@UsmanAli-si9ob]

Great review. You nailed it down. Gave everything to decide whether or not I should go for it....keep up the good work👍

[@Santi_fernandez-_-]

best reviews with the most knowledge.

[@TheFrogChannel]

I won't buy this car until Toyota: makes a coupe model makes an LED package (everything's LED)

[@Lucky8s]

+dayway05 So... never right?

[@TheFrogChannel]

Right.

[@ogkidd77]

I just got my self a corolla 2015 and I just love this car it feels great runs great and very roomie 👍

[@user-ik9mo8wm7q]

The gear changes are pretty smooth, even though this car has no gears

[@niel80]

Great review...thanks... cheers from Tijuana Mexico mate :)

[@alexandrecote7674]

man... you had some really awesome shots this video. I was really thrown away at the shot of the left gopro as you where driving through those green hills. Anyways, I think that improvement in your production may be the only thing these reviews are missing. Not to say that its bad, Its just that every other detail about these reviews are great. And that improvement in editing and production seems to be the only thing that would make your videos even better.

[@donjacoboangelito5628]

A sedan for the apocalypse.

[@michaelbrennan7148]

Great review. I appreciate your technical explanation and your engineering mind set.

[@loopin8834]

It is actually fun to drive

[@Toyota4Life]

Great car. Does what its intended to do and does those things better then the rest. I love the headlights and seats

[@H3ntairican]

Bought me a used 2010 corolla few years back while people I know bought brand new cars at the same time and till this day at 156000 miles my corolla running like a brandnew car with no problems at all besides airbag recall meanwhile the people I know with brandnew cars had plenty of problems 😝

[@lunaticleone8534]

I honestly don't think you can find a car that looks this good, this reliable, decently fast for a sedan as a 2014.

[@jsingh3021]

I m going to buy this one already. anyway I want to say about your review you are genius . smart guy.
