I mean I just turned 19 and bought a 2018 corrola....I've always owned shitty used cars so feels like a million bucks to me. Drives amazing sport mode is fast as I need inside is super nice dont see why people gotta hate it's a entry level car not a turbocharged hellcat Edit. 2 years later I have been itching to buy a audi s4 or Mercedes Benz c43 amg....but all I hear is that they are a money pit...im honesty still happy with my corolla and I think I take the reliability for granted. Never had any issues

[@mertz313]

Matthew Cooper Hellcats are supercharged..

[@newyork6480]

Matthew Cooper Nice ride

[@valjean2036]

All Toyota's are awesome. People are just jealous cause corolla is the most reliable car.

[@lionheartroar3104]

Great choice my man!

[@azharabdullahi7313]

Matthew Cooper I’m 17 and this is my first car ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Hey_its_Koda]

Car does really really well on gas. I drove 324 miles and i only spent 18 bucks on gas. Lol crazy. It was rental. Enjoyed it.

[@codeartonline9848]

How many liters for 18 bucks?

[@backseatpolitician]

Yeah, I rented one recently. 30 bucks got me from central Ohio, to central Virginia.

[@rocc6102]

Oh how the old times where

[@ELPJM09]

The best selling car in the world that has been around for over 50 years. Not everyone wants a sports car. The majority of people want a reliable, safe, comfortable car to get from point A to B. Corolla comes in made trims. If you just want a basic car buy the LE. Those looking for a more sportier looking and feeling car, buy the XSE.

[@bluesky5384]

This is exactly why my cheap but picky ass got a used one owner XSE

[@2004cyrus]

Exactly

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

As always, spectacular review, Drew! This generation of the Corolla has aged remarkably well. I am also astonished by the amount of standard safety equipment it boasts. As this video proved, the Toyota Corolla still seems to hold its own against its competitors in almost all aspects. I am also really liking the updated front fascia on the 2017 (and newer) Corolla models. Adding a more youthful, athletic, and dramatic design approach. All in all, the Corolla is a pretty solid "go-to" option in the compact sedan class. From one car reviewer to another, keep it up. 👍🏽 DriveAndBeDriven will be STAYING GOLD! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@ReactivityTY]

went from a 2002 Nissan Frontier to this car and it feels like such a huge step up lmao

[@Firebrand599]

2014-16 ver. looks so much nicer...It's due for a redesign though so I hope they like, change it drastically like with the new Camry.

[@MixTheTake]

My mom just got her 2018 Toyota Corolla standard edition and I love it! Pretty jealous since my car is a 2010 Toyota Corolla and I have to add a new stereo with backup camera

[@personalitycrisis2766]

Damn I want to buy this car for my mom, she deserves it. She’s been dealing with too many cheap shitty cars that keep breaking down for too long.

[@2004cyrus]

That’s nice of you. Car problems are awful. Did you get her a car?

[@JasonWaden8r]

I just bought a 2018 SE in the Gray. Gotta say, for my first Toyota I love it!

[@bluesky5384]

I have the 2017 XSE in gray. Is yours Falcon Gray Metallic? That’s what mine is. I felt lucky to find it. It’s a great color!

[@2004cyrus]

Congrats that is awesome so you have the newest design or did you get a used Corolla?

[@musicboistudios9575]

One of the first fine to view! Love your reviews Gold Pony! Keep it up!

[@goldpony]

Thanks, appreciate it!

[@vegasbab.y3740]

Yah you make it more entertaining

[@davinp]

I have the SE CVT with premium package. The premium package includes the smart key (push button start), moonroof, upgraded Etunes plus system with Scout GPS and weather floor mats. The SE and XSE have led lights down the side of the bumper which are daytime running lights. As you can see the back is roomy for a compact car. Those last 4 safety features you mentioned are not standard on other auto manufacturers like the Honda Civic. Only on Toyota is it standard on all models/trims

[@JosePerez...]

Another Ammmmazing review Drew 👍🏽 love love this channel 📺🔥 Jose P.

[@goldpony]

+Jose P. Thanks Jose! Appreciate it!

[@vwmatt33]

I'm a new Corolla SE owner. Just love the mileage. Averaging 36 combined. I was a full size truck guy and Jeep guy for years. I bought this Corolla for my daughter who gets her license next year. When I do I will love to stick with a great mileage car again. No more huge payments either.

[@darring.9161]

It's a great little Car...they've done a reasonable amount of tweaking since our 2010 Year Model. That 1.8 L4 Engine is very smooth, dependable, and quite easy to work on...ya gotta be a total idiot to kill it. They will last!

[@2004cyrus]

[@everythingautomotiveeta5839]

[@mrxyz2k]

I believe trims and it’s price better to be known after declaring the deferences, something at the end of video, or before it immediately.

[@superarsenal009]

I have the 2014 Corolla LE fully loaded, is this worth the upgrade?

[@sameer7785]

Convert the exterior temperature of the Corolla 2018 from Fahrenheit to Silesia ?

[@BriannaJayCee]

Idk how people can call this car ugly. Maybe because it looks much better in person and this car still gets looks for being a newer model. You won't find headlights or a futuristic body on older models as stunning as this one is for the price point. It's worth the safety features and mileage. I personally find hatchback style cars ugly but that's because I'd prefer my car to have a nice "ass" lol which I do like the look of these models and own a '17 myself. Great investment.

[@kyralynch1697]

Have the same car has so many great stuff

[@redneon06]

I drive a 1998 Ruby Pearl LE. It has just over 102,000 miles on it. It's not all banged up, it's shiny and drives like new. I will miss it if I ever buy something else.

[@isekaiguy69]

Awesome review! If you can please review the Toyota Yaris ia 2018 model. :)

[@mikemorales1725]

The cruise control works well, changing speeds to keep up with traffic ahead, I did find that i's too easy to bypass REVERSE and go into neutral.

[@MEAB720]

Are the cvt reliable? I bought the 2018 corolla in Beirut Lebanon with 1,8 l engine with cvt transmission. My question will the cvt will be reliable to 150,000 km if driven decently?!’

[@doloresm7396]

No. Good luck getting to 150 km - maybe if you drive it like a little old lady and change the trans fluid at 40 km. Not just a drain and replace, a full flushing of the trans. Daughter bought one and I didn't check the trans, too concerned with the engine. Not real happy right now.

[@rayhanson9365]

can you take the keys out of a Toyota corolla 2018 when driving? I was blamed for doing this and in my car I can not take keys out unless it is in park.

[@robertpalladino9398]

This is my first car, just bought it today. (:

I can’t speak for Drew of course but I’m a car salesman and everyone I know recommends these for a first car. It’s this or Honda Civic or Mazda 3. We don’t recommend the American cars.

[@andyotero3070]

sergio guerrero right!

[@missayawk]

sergio guerrero Go by reliability and good gas mileage.Also take into consideration your body type for comfort.If you're an average sized person a Toyota Camry is the way to go.If price is no object a Lexus ES or GS.

[@samrothstein6278]

Me too cause lot of cars having ton of electrical problems with dash or transmissions with cvt

[@MagicOfficial]

If you want the combination of reliability and great gas, go for the Camry or if you don’t want to spend as much go for the Corolla. If you want a better driving experience with a sportier look and much better interior, go for a Civic. The Civic is also very reliable, but not as reliable as a Corolla or Camry.

[@rallyrallo45]

Buy I corolla or a civic, Toyota cvts are extremely reliable unlike Nissan cvts which break easily

[@mfmf100]

Did they drop the hp? Could have sworn it was 138.

[@90seurodanceeurohouseandbu49]

REAR DRUM, OMG

[@djkenny1202]

Most non sports cars still have rear drum. Honestly, it makes little difference. This isn’t a high end car, either.

[@leonnygren9394]

For about 2000 more get the SE ....makes no sense to buy drum brakes....there is a big difference when you need to stop fast or need abs or traction control. ..u will be glad u did

[@djkenny1202]

Rear drums really do not do much of anything. One plus, is the last a really long time. You change then less often. We brought the next model down Forester without rear discs and I don’t miss them at all. A Corolla is a pretty basic non sporty car. I’d buy the cheapest one. I’d prefer a base model with a manual, they don’t even offer the L anymore and you need to get the SE if you want a manual now. Annoying.

[@hideralmosawi1606]

[@cssplayer91]

Why is manual the more expensive model now????

[@MD-wq6on]

Supply and demand now. If you want it, you will need to pay more. I have a 2013 Corolla "S" with manual trans and love it. Of course, these were the days when you bought a manual trans and saved about 1K over then 4 speed auto.

[@sampathusa]

Jesus Faith, Yes you are correct!

[@calebniederhofer678]

Steve Franklin yea I have made this argument because I can’t stand cvt transmissions to begin with . They supposedly get 6-8% better but not from my experience driving them . You accelerate more aggressive because of the lack of thottle response , cvt have a delay almost like a rubber band effect . Anyways I’m a fan of the Elantra , it’s nicer , quieter , better features and best warranty out the there . Just my opinion , good review.

[@calebniederhofer678]

Lincoln hawk I’m not a fan of cvt they get better fuel economy supposedly , but I disagree with that because of the lack of timing on acceleration , you actually drive harder to get the car to accelerate compared to a normal transmission. Anyways I bought the Elantra , better car in my opinion .

[@scottyhaines4226]

CVT is the transmission not the engine and as long as it's not a CVT from a 06 Honda or Nissan you should be good. Toyota's always made bulletproof cars and the transmissions are no exception.

Scotty Haines I know that , it was a typo lol . Yes you are correct as far Toyota not having any issues with the cvt. I personally don’t care for cvt transmissions , and I’m not a fan of the corolla .
