My Week with the Manual 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback!

[@Soh90]

Any company that saves the manual gets my vote. I actually really like the XSE Manual Hatch too. Toyota deserves huge kudos for this car, especially for the iMT and new CVT. Most major automotive magazines could care less what Toyota does. They see every car they make as an “appliance”, and falsely so. I think this is easily among the best in class and would be my vote despite its minuscule size.

[@omegabeta3305]

This is something that if you buy and do proper maintenance, it can easily last you 15 years without issues.

[@jayespi37]

CVTs suck! Keep the Manuals alive!!🤓

[@subvet3668]

This would be great for a daily driver. I looked at Auto Trader and found plenty of these XSE manual hatches for just under 22K which is a pretty good bargain for a car you can probably drive 300k miles. Love that Toyota uses dual injection for enhanced reliability instead of the basic direct injection with all the carbon issues. Well done Toyota.

[@Brandon-eh4tz]

I was wondering about that! Glad to hear they still have that in these newer engines. Honda's been very disappointing with their new engines/quality and I'm worried Toyota will follow suit. Lucky, at least here, it hasn't. I heard they had to recall the CVT model already...

[@kevina2052]

I'd does have a normal exhaust. If you're talking about the faux dual exhaust, you don't even notice it after owning it for a couple months. Unfortunately, it's a fad right now in the industry.

[@Bazoo-1968]

Why oh why won’t Toyota make the big-time JBL audio system available for the manual trim? To me, it seems that manual drivers would want and pay for a booming audio system.

[@ackables]

Definitely annoying, but I've looked online and you can get aftermarket speakers that are $100 a pair and replacement tweeters for $100 a pair. If you don't mind taking it to a shop, you could probably put a nicer sound system than the jbl in there for less money.

[@gabithemagyar]

I bought this car when I traded in my trusty 10 year old Matrix. Love it !!! I have always driven only manual (for over 40 years now) and I must say that this is the smoothest shifter I have ever driven. The Matrix felt like a truck in comparison ! To be honest, I could have done without the some of the computerized bells and whistles that come with the car (I really only use the "tablet" for music and while backing up and never bother with the intelligent shift option or the brake "hold" … but not an issue that there are what, for me, are superfluous "extras"). The Matrix, of course, was bigger and higher off the ground but this car is more of a pleasure to drive. If I had a complaint to make, it would only be that that audio input and power outlet (lighter) jacks are awkwardly placed and difficult to find in low light. The armrest is also too far back to get into easily. Minor details. All in all, I look forward to driving this car for the next 10 years :-)

[@rightlanehog3151]

Do you miss the handbrake?

[@soupylicious]

The armrest can be extended forward.

[@gabithemagyar]

Something else to note is that this car is literally only one to two tenths of a second slower than the Mazda 3. So speed is quite adequate.

Why is America obsessed with SUV and Sedans? Meanwhile Japan and Europe is big on hot hatches.

[@VoidNinja7]

@@Hboogie182 Largely due to the lower fuel costs, larger roads and parking spaces, and culture. China, Australia, and the Middle East are the same in that regard. It's more accurate to call those SUV as CUV or crossovers.

[@Hboogie182]

@@VoidNinja7 I live in Los Angeles. There's not many parking spaces here and it's hella crowded. But yet people still drive big SUV and big pickup trucks. I'm starting to think it's because most Americans are fat so that's why they need big cars.

@@Hboogie182 Larger cars tend to be safer and have much closer mpg with sedans now. I personally hate urban areas and prefer the suburban or countryside.

[@donr8773]

Nice review. I just picked up a 2021. Silver w/black metallic roof, XSE and a 6 speed manual. Your comments are accurate and spot on. “Slow (ish) thing fast. Traded a 2012 VW TDI SportWagen w/a DSG transmission w/80k miles. It is a great car, faster and the DSG is fabulous. It was just time. No more looking back. Love the Corolla Hatchback.

[@dougroberts3643]

That silver with the black roof looks sharp on Toyota's build and price website. It looks like a darker silver than the typical lighter silver found on cars. Is it true that it's a lot darker silver or is it the website making it look this way ?

[@rightlanehog3151]

To see a person who drives a Mustang GT get enthusiastic about a Corolla is quite a revelation. Too bad Toyota Motor Corporation has declared war on taller drivers with reduced head and leg room in the new hatch and sedan. I wish we got the Corolla wagon sold in Europe that offers adequate space for drivers over 6 feet, their adult passengers and their gear. #WeWantWagons.

[@NashKetchum]

Thought I'd chime in with my experience. I just went the other day to test drive a 6 speed 2020 SE sedan the other day. All in all I really like it, but a serious issue I had was the clutch. Uptake on it is VERY high in the travel, to the point where you think you're slipping the clutch everytime you shift. It's a little odd. Matt made the same comment here and I completely agree. It was definitely far higher than any car I've had. EVO X and e90 3 series, but even much higher than a manual, regular Ford Fiesta I had. It is a pretty serious turn off.

[@ryanlittleton5615]

I might get some grief for this. But I think this has a better interior that the Camry. To me it feels much more solid and high quality.

No dude. Businesses only look at who is buying their product from them. Cars manufactures only cater to new trends of buyers/leasers because that's who gives them money. They see literally ZERO dollars from 2nd hand car sales. It's the same how EA sees zero revenue from used video game sales. Why do you think the manuals are dying? Because nobody is buying them new. It's a common business practice. Would you continue to sell a product, service, whatever that people were not buying? No. @@VasyaIvanovichPupkin

[@ryanlittleton5615]

Hatchback

[@Cryostal]

Looks like a Yaris

[@rightlanehog3151]

It is like a slightly larger, modern tech version of a Yaris hatch .

[@DUNEATV]

Cool looking car...

[@ARSciandra]

you may want to limit the hand mvements

[@jtkent28]

God I can’t wait for this “tablet on the dash” style infotainment to be over. Is this really what people want? It’s so ugly!

[@c6drives180]

Its a fucking Corolla who cares

[@VoidNinja7]

The dashboard sticks out too much and it's distracting.

[@gabithemagyar]

Actually, I like it. It may not look great, but I find that having the large display up at that height means I can see what's on it (e,g, GPS map) with a small, almost just sideways, flick of my eyes rather than having to take my eyes off the road to look down. It's large enough that I never have to stare at it to pick out what I am looking for.

[@ryansvloggingit5492]

Does it dhandle has good has the Ford fiesta

[@MattMaranMotoring]

It handles better than a Fiesta.

[@tarzan6405]

Matt Maran Motoring does it handle better then a Fiesta ST

[@josejimenez3578]

I want it

[@mrbrocephus3849]

Toyota Martrix ????????????

[@BRIANBOBCHAPMAN]

NICE Week with the Manual 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback!

[@MNeuenswander]

How does it compare to the WRX?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Lighter, more fun handling than a WRX, just less power.

[@agaad22]

Toyota screwed up by not giving this a turbo. I’d still take the Civic Hatchback sport over it because of the powertrain.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

They've been hinting that a faster version is coming.

[@agaad22]

Matt Maran Motoring I hope so. This car looks so good and it’s sad it’s not decently quick.

[@vlygr]

Picking up friend wife 🤔🤔🤨

[@Suction_]

Just bought a 19 xse cvt for the woman. CVT isnt the best, but otherwise a solid car.

[@Rob-ed8zk]

MAZDA 3 HATCH!!!

[@1232bluejays]

A manual? I would rather buy the CVT with a known defect and has just been issued a recall

[@williamkeith8944]

Are you a dolt?! A CVT, really?!

[@sequoiahughes8536]

William Keith Isn’t it obvious he was being sarcastic? You might need some more coffee LOL

[@c6drives180]

This is a good car for your 16 year old daughter

[@Rockport1911]

If you want a manual car but just dont like Hondas ugly styling and want to be more sedate :) Would have never clicked on this if the title hadnt said MANUAL :) manuals are getting rare across the world for performance and emissions reasons. I heard Toyota is coming back to europe with some nicer cars than before, all we got in germany for years was just junk for elderly people, underpowered hybrids and ugly styling....

[@rightlanehog3151]

Hybrids account for roughly half of Toyota's sales in Europe and that will only increase with Diesel diving in popularity. At least Toyota has invested in their new platforms to greatly increase handling capability over earlier generations. It is unfortunate that Toyota does not offer their more powerful engines in the E.C.. As for ugliness, there is nothing uglier than a repair bill on a German, French or Italian car.

[@DS..69]

Hyundai n line hatch way better. Imho.

[@msrr1303]

That color looks amazing. What a shame Toyota didn’t use a turbocharged engine for this. Would be a truly amazing daily.

[@sashapilz6653]

I did not already looked and tested the 2019 Corolla and especially its engine. But (only subjective) I am sure the new one (engine) is much "better" than the 1,3 with the 6-speed manual (I talk of the German one). Of course: In the city you can cruise at 50 km / h (about 30 mph) in 5 th gear. But for motorway or overtaking trucks / other cars it is not made. It has about 100 HP but nevertheless of course: but because of it has no turbo under 2.500 / 3000 rpm there is no fun. In my opinion it is too much downsized. I remember older cars (1,8 or 2 l petrol) with about 100 HP without turbo as well. There you felt the power much more. My conclusion / opinion for the old one: The old 1,3 l petrol engine is not great. I hope and am looking for to get a free date to check out the new one as lately as possible (maybe the hybrid, too). Thank you for your review! It has reminded me to test the new Corolla.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Europe's new Corolla has a 1.2 turbo engine with adequate levels of power.

[@arevo8702]

Ok

[@livelifelovingly9983]

Sayin im here early early huh?

[@67daltonknox]

Buy a manual... but you don't live in LA.
