This reminds me of my 2003 Toyota Matrix XR with a manual. Drove that car for 9 years, never had to do anything to it other than regular maintenance.

[@txGarage]

I hope you enjoy the video! Let me know your thoughts on the Corolla hatchback.

[@txgaragenewswire]

Need more seat time with this sucker for sure

[@snrlxthalost1]

Do you got the rpm shifting points?

[@agepulsar]

The 1 i have. With platnum warantee se. 2022. Hatch. 6.sp it is verry nimble and fast. Specialey. If u downshift 2 sp and floor it. I did beat. Even a durango. Look. Aint a slow car. It is verry nimble in corner. Also. Love it. I only hate. The dealer haha.

[@djturk254]

i have the xse auto and a se manual i prefer the se manual less bells and whistles i had to special order manual from Japan took forever to get here,there were no manuals at all in my state.

[@captinbeyond]

I'd love to order one also but never done it before. do they let you pick everything -- like wheel size, manual, and be able to drop all these autodrive features that I don't need or want?

[@djturk254]

@@captinbeyond no i didn’t get to choose much because of corona just the transmission,trim and they asked if i wanted a spoiler i wanted red paint but they said they couldn’t do it i got windchill pearl. but normally you can build one like you want it

[@captinbeyond]

@@djturk254 Did they try to jack up the price with add-ons or stick to MSRP?

[@djturk254]

[@captinbeyond]

@@djturk254 Yeah, that $1K destination is a rip off. dealers do not incur that cost...it's paid by auto makers

The static in the intro is complete garbage. The rest after that is good.

[@txGarage]

Good feedback. Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the rest

[@mikul3122]

the black trim on the roof was a terrible idea imo.

[@txGarage]

Lol I don’t mind it but I get where you’re coming from 👍

[@maggie_codes]

The civic Hatchback is just so ugly. Doesn’t look sporty at all. The rear doesn’t even look like a hatchback. The honeycomb interior looks like it would be a pain to keep clean The Corolla hatchback is way more sporty. Love it! Disappointed it doesn’t have a sunroof option.

[@txGarage]

I mean, if it's all based on the design... that's subjective from person to person. I agree that for a hatch, I like the looks of the Corolla more.

[@earvase]

2 very different cars. It I’m think of getting this car(For The Price Reasons) or a 2016/2017 Mustang GT(It’s a V8 Mustang).

[@joseg5913]

Depends if you wanna pay for the gas and maintenance for the mustang. I sold my q50 for this Corolla best choice I made I love it so much

[@microminiskirt]

Go for a Dodge Challenger with 392 Hemi Scat Pack Wide Body available in 6 spd. Manual or 8 spd. Auto transmission. Big comfortable and roomy interior with 116 wheelbase with a real trunk and if more space needed for cargo you can put rear seats down which can house adult passengers. Lots of s shoulder room too. Big car crash protection.👍

[@triciatree]

Thank you for this video. I'm retiring my 2009 Toyota Yaris. Which has been very good to me. Looked at this car today. Definitely gonna buy.

[@txGarage]

Awesome to hear and thanks!

[@rolandov2]

Saaame! Well, I'll be retiring my 2008 Yaris sedan next year, still undecided - although still a year to go - between the hatch or the SE trim of the sedan.

Super dope and looks super fun!

[@Robbiehans]

Damn I love this car and the interior looks super nice

[@Rosie-di6ed]

One of the best presentations I've seen in a while for a car and this is probably the one that I'd like to buy. No weird music, you're not a salesman who had too many energy drinks before they jumped in the car, you know what you're talking about. Your detail is spot on! Far as I'm concerned you sold me the car. So now I have to sell my Dodge truck so I can pay cash for this car, thank you sir I definitely subscribe gave you a thumbs up happy trails!

[@txGarage]

Ha! Thanks :) appreciate the comment

WHAT HONDA CIVIC HB (CIVIC SI?) MODEL IS THE COMPETITOR TO THIS HATCHBACK? WHICH ONE IS MORE RELIABLE AND WILL LAST LONGER? HOW DOES THIS COROLLA COMPARE TO THE CIVIC 1.5 TURBO?🤔

[@subvet3668]

Civic Sport Hatchback "non turbo" is the direct competitor to this. The Civic Sport Hatchback has better interior room and cargo space but has a smaller engine with less power. The Touring hatchback with the turbo has better power but at higher cost 30K +. The Corolla Hatchback is by far going to be more reliable in the long run with it's dual injection with both port and direct injection which prevents carbon buildup issues common on direct injection engines. Also, the auto rev matching is only on the Corolla.

[@microminiskirt]

[@gandalfstormcrow8439]

I've been waiting over a year for the GR. So close!

[@Alltracavenger]

Exactly the review I needed for this car as I've been considering this to replace my daily driver(2004 RAV4, also manual). As someone who is absolutely obsessed with older Toyotas and has a small collection of them, I've felt the need for something with that kind of DNA that makes my commutes and errand-running fun without having to beat my classics up. This new Corolla hatchback seems like a great option to share parking space with my much older Corolla hatchback.

[@txGarage]

Awesome :) thanks

[@howardgray6407]

the adaptive moving headlights are dumb and pointless money thats going to waste.

[@txGarage]

Don’t disagree

[@timw2083]

This (Matrix), Elantra GT, and Mazda3 hatch are on my radar for my son's first car... glad to see you enjoyed it

[@txGarage]

All great options

[@levim7462]

Used to own a Mazda 3 great car very reliable and the manual is fun.

[@timw2083]

@@levim7462 good to hear, we bought the Mazda3 hatchback a few weeks ago. It's a nice car, maybe too nice

[@jeuby3695]

Is the GR Corolla replacing this for 2023 or will there be a 2023 model of this too?

[@txGarage]

I would assume the GR isn’t a replacement but an improvement on this trim. So you should get both…I’d assume.

[@christopheralonge7758]

No manual for 2023

I ordered this car and two tone color and manual but a SE and the black spoiler Xperia getting too pricey it is a Corolla

What is the 0-60 acceleration times and top end speed on this Corolla HATHBACK with 6 sod. Manual?🤔🤔

[@subvet3668]

Motor Trend had it at 7.5 seconds with the manual. No doubt due to the fact that you can just hit 60 in second gear.

[@microminiskirt]

@@subvet3668 What about top wnd speed with 6 spd manual? Does the 6 spd outperform the CVT or does CVT outperform 6 spd in any other category?

[@microminiskirt]

@@subvet3668 That's just like the 1985 Honda CRX I had maybe even better except it has 4 doors and weighs more because of all of the safety equipment. With the rear seats down the Corolla hatchback SE is reminiscent of that 85 CRX Ihad back in the day. 👍

[@subvet3668]

@@microminiskirt cvt gets a little bit better gas mileage 32 mpg in the city, 41 mpg on the highway and 35 mpg combined

[@microminiskirt]

@@subvet3668 But what you save in gas mileage is all eaten up (a false sense of savings) because the CVT doesn't have the longetivity of a conventional auto matic transmission or a manual transmission. CVT transmissions don't last and will costs thousands of dollars to replace🤑. The Corolla SE is a 4 cylinder and the manual gets sufficient sufficient MPG, more fun to drive and will outlast the CVT equipped Corolla.

[@1johnnyangel]

Why in the fluk would they make the interior that color, its stupid af

funny my wife drives a manual -but she much prefers an auto

Lol crazy ;)

[@mutongoria]

Lucky man. You have room for negotiation.

[@abidnessman]

Not sure whats 40 60 split on rear seats. For big dog rear access...unsure. Ground clearance also a challenge. Crossover reference a good point.

[@fentor3713]

26k plus 15k in dealer mark ups expect to pay around 40k for this crap,

[@dougroberts3643]

I don't expect your local dealers are getting much business if their charging $15k mark-ups. My local dealerships are selling at MSRP. NO Mark-ups
