The corolla seems to be the most car for the least amount of money at precisely the time in our history where inflation is kicking us all to the curb and we can't afford to spend like we used to. I've been saying for years that any company who will sell us a decent, affordable and reliable car will rule the auto industry. It looks like Toyota is that leader, plus, the Corolla is a Toyota, that means it will run forever. For those of us who can't afford restaurants and other luxuries anymore, that means everything.

[@johnb6084]

We just bought a new 2024 LE in NY state and was even luckier finding a rare JT vin built in Japan. We bought it for exactly the reasons you stated.

[@alicankarakaya2770]

I think sales are gonna explode!

[@dhmig88]

Yes, the Corolla is perfect for people who don’t want to be car rich and have money left over to save or God forbid go on a vacation.

[@user-ld1dy3yc8j]

You have lost your collective minds on the 0 to 60 times. There wasn’t a muscle car from the 60s or 70s with monster sized V8s that could beat a sub 8 second time to 60. What the hell is the rush?

[@robertgraves8721]

Thank you 👍👍

[@markvicferrer]

it's not about showing up to drag strips, it's about merging into highways. Most highways have on ramps that give you time to build speed, but when city infrastructure is tight, merging is scary with slow acceleration.

[@MrStrutus]

@@markvicferrer how does Semi merge? Stop the nonsense, it’s a Corolla. People buy these are practical.

[@motorsport2k]

The 60s and 70s were SiXTY years ago grandpa, it's time...

[@dope7kids]

That's what I always say....what's the rush? hard on the engine, hard on fuel, dangerous to pedestrians and other drivers, slow down and enjoy the scenery.

[@braetonwilson4296]

Thank you Drew for reviewing the 2024 Corolla after I requested you review it just a few weeks ago! This is one of the reasons why I appreciate your channel because you take viewer requests seriously!!

[@conceptcs]

owned a 15 corolla for 3 year. Great vehicle. commuted daily, and did a couple long distance road trips with family and friends. Good memories.

[@minipandora22]

*literally* the most practical car in history.

[@joelthorne7434]

Good review. I drove one recently and there was nothing to dislike and much to like.

[@jessemolina4901]

don't really see the reason people are hating on it. it's a fairly cheap reliable easy to maintain car. i love the simplicity of it. it has all you need and the cvt isn't an issue knowing it has a launch gear and will more than likely last a long time unlike hondas cvt's and oh my i wish i had a car that gave me 30 mpg city and 40 highway! need an upgrade from my 97 camry v6 but it never gives me problems lol.

[@TastyGoomba]

this car shines in the SE version because the transmission is responsive using the paddles - quite snappy & fun for spirited city driving. seats are great too, bolstering is sporty...

[@mohammedalgheryafi7784]

You are right: Corolla may very well be the most reliable car in existence.

[@Kevin83184]

Thanks so much man for doing these budget friendly cars for the blue collar worker!!

[@davidwood7170]

The 2023 Corolla was also built in Mississippi, It was only the first couple months in 2022 when the 2023 models first appeared that they where produced in Japan. Couple more things you should point out, The headlights are different for the Hybrid , SE and higher Trims, and the LE does not get the independent rear suspension

[@mscottlawrence2037]

We just bought one, I feel like you really get alot for your money, sharp, power, sporty alot of options for the price

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

Now my first new Toyota Corolla to afford.

[@solidwisdom8749]

50 million corollas sold so you cant go wrong with owning a corolla it does everything well prety much with reliability excellent which is great

[@winstonmiu]

I like the comfort of the LE trim paired with the 2.0 post-refresh.

1:00 Is it possible to make the billboard image for the beginning info a bit transparent? Just to help with viewing. Regardless, appriecte the review, especially the little comparisons to the civic, very informative!

[@pbrian9527]

My 2022 LE MSRP was slightly higher than what you showed for the 2024. No options. Just straight MSRP

[@rickmartinez3781]

Thanks for the review. One note, the LE has a torsion beam rear suspension not an IRS. Cheers.

[@alvinsimba734]

Another reason why I will keep my 2020 LE

[@Blizzardous1]

paddle shifters are on my SE model & i went with it because of the independant suspension

[@thirty2able]

I like this style car a little better than the new Civics and i love the black color.. I have a 2011 Civic coupe, but one of these days I am going to buy a new car. I've had good luck with my last 2 cars, both Honda Civics, but I might take a look and a test drive on a new Corolla.

[@daynemills14]

Hello from Hagerstown! 👋👋

Haha small world! 😁

I am in the US and have the 2022 SE. It does have paddle shifters. It's not just the XSE

[@fleetingdays]

0W8 oil, where to find? Is this the requirement?

[@seraphx26]

This car is a perfect working persons car, it's no frills, lasts forever in car terms, minimum maintenance costs over it's lifetime and all for a total cost well under 30k.

[@Kobayashhi]

30k, let that sink in.

[@seraphx26]

@@Kobayashhi This car is going for 23k in my area, you aren't getting much cheaper for a brand new car, people expect to pay used car prices for 2024 models it's bizarre.

13:01 supposedly ambient lighting is standard for 2024

[@lockdot2]

There is 1 car with a more basic gage cluster, and that is the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage. It is 1 button you press, and it shows the MPG, or miles on the trip, how many miles till empty, and it has 2 trips. It also says the temperature of outside as well. But it's just text, no graphics. By the way, I did buy a 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage, and so far I put 1,300 miles on it. I am enjoying it!

[@Jamie-zs8ok]

I love my Mirage, I know they went for the minimalist guage cluster with just a digital bar type fuel metre instead of an analog guage to save cost. But I wish they have retained an analog fuel guage. But I guess its better than an all digital one just my opinion.

[@lockdot2]

Yup! I bought the 2024 Mirage ES. It's sand yellow. I am highly enjoying the car! What Mirage do you have?@@Jamie-zs8ok

[@frednutz1604]

I find this interesting as here in Australia Toyota have not released any details of the 2024 models.

[@jeffreyerickson6766]

They were built in Mississippi last year. Hybrid is nade in Japan. Hybrid has multi link rear, regular Corolla has torsion beam .

[@antoniocognato5023]

My dealer has an Le 2024 gas Japan made.

[@antoniocognato5023]

Some were built in japan. They still are. He's wrong.

[@davidgold5961]

The Corolla XSE also has the multi-link rear suspension.

[@rayemanuel7460]

You keep saying 2002 gauge cluster. I believe you meant 2022?

[@furqanabbasi6525]

Can you please let us know whats the millage this LE CVT model of corolla is giving you in city and on highway? I mean how many kilometers per liter of petrol both city and highway.

Great review. Just to clarify, all Corolla sedans 2020-2024 have always been and are still made in the USA and Japan. Luck of the draw for which one you get at your local dealer.

[@glennshayne1985]

Sooner keep driving my 2007 Matrix .

[@BMan100]

At least the gauge cluster looks more " NORMAL" man it was so funky in the 20-21 cars. Sooooooooooes.... pretty much in any car it has that big arse screen, and you can add nav by paying for it. eh, that works... coming from UConnect in my Scat Pack..

2024 corolla are still built in japan. My Dealer has 2 Le 2024 gas models. Japan made. ALL HATCHBACKS 2024 are made in Japan. Also....Certain Rav4s are made in Japan

[@jimliu2560]

Is made in Japan corollas Really-Really more reliable/better than ones made in Mississippi; or is it just a false mindset (aka nostalgia) ?

[@oxyg3n520]

I don't understand how they were able to go backwards on the gauge cluster. It really does look like it was from 20 years ago.

[@braetonwilson4296]

It's a cost cutting measure. Just like how the 2022 Corolla LE gasoline sedan had independent rear suspension and the 2023-2024 Corolla LE gas sedan has the cheaper torsion beam rear suspension.

[@PamelaBellOfficial]

Toyota cuts costs in every way they can. They are among the cheapest made new vehicles. Hear how loud this one sounds inside.

I consider to buy 2024 Toyota Corolla sedan.

[@Johnnyiswhere]

I hope you find one. They are scarce!

[@mohammedalgheryafi7784]

You won't regret it. It's a wise choice. If you take care of it, it will last for over 20 years.

[@braetonwilson4296]

Johnny, they are scarce indeed! Here in Dallas, new 2024 Toyota Corolla LE gasoline sedans are going for $5000 over MSRP due to extremely high demand and low supply!

[@chih6654]

Go buy a Mazda 3, way better vehicle!

[@lockdot2]

They are very nice! I also recommend looking at the Mitsubishi Mirage G4. That is a nice sedan that will last a long time if taken care of as well. But, I highly, highly, highly recommend Corolla's to nearly everyone. They are more reliable than the Mirage. But they both are very good. The Mirage G4, fully loaded starts at about $20,500. And the base model starts at around $19,000.

Have you heard of the band called "Pony Gold?"

[@HD-Gaming-Zero-Them-Down]

I love Toyota they last forever.

[@jimliu2560]

The corolla only lasts ~200K max. That is hardly forever and is only comparable to 1980s/1990s Camry/accord… Modern cars should be getting ~1 million miles ( by all other tech advancements).

[@MarkVV045]

I have an05’ has 263,000 trouble free miles ,

[@swtfunldy1810]

So frustrated. I bought my 2024 Corolla LE 2 months ago. I regret buying mine because of the CVT transmission. On acceration it makes jerking movements. Ive brought it back to dealer and they said this is normal for these cvt transmissions. They ran a diagnostic test and showed me it was fine but I hate this feeling. I am a senior lady and dont like the feeling I might get stuck. I traded in my 2004 Corolla S that ran smoothly for this. They did let me drive a different model Corolla and it did do the same thing. If this is "Normal" it really makes me regret buying it. :(

[@alvinsimba734]

You don’t need to press the throttle that much to get going. I understand you had a 2004 Corolla which was peppy when going from stop but then halfway is where your new 2024 Corolla shines. I have a 2020 Corolla LE with the old 1.8 litre and one thing I will tell you from your 2004 Corolla that you got rid of is that the gas mileage is 25% less efficient compared to your 2024 Corolla

[@swjackson917]

Does the Corolla have the Stop/Start feature.

[@alvinsimba734]

Yes it does but I personally like the switchblade key for many reasons

[@PedroAlbertoMendozaMarroquin]

​@@alvinsimba734 please, share with us why do You prefer the switchblade ley?

[@alvinsimba734]

@@PedroAlbertoMendozaMarroquin since you asked here are some of the reasons 1. With switchblade key, I can always manually open the door if the key fob is dead and actually put the key to start the car and go on with my day 2. Less chance of thefts with the switchblade key because the thieves would have to break the window to get in the vehicle and try to start it which takes too long for them. With push to start button, if they were following you to your destination without you knowing, they will get the signal of your vehicle by you pressing the lock button and even though you have your keys with push to start, they will use receivers to copy the information with the key and all they do is unlock the door as if they have your car keys and start your car and it’s gone.

[@PedroAlbertoMendozaMarroquin]

@@alvinsimba734 whoa!, i never considered those reasons, thanks a Lot for sharing ☺️

[@user-qr1oc5vl8u]

my dealer gave for 2024 corolla LE hybrid AWD $28500 + tax

[@CenobiteBeldar]

I don’t think the gauge cluster is that bad. People just want a reliable mode of transportation. You’re talking about an LE. With a CVT. There’s nothing sporty or stiff handling about that. I mean, import tuning is going to die lol a cvt tranny for sport racing? Come on man, and you want pizzaz gauges?????? You aren’t getting the full package. If the XSE comes with a 5 or 6 speed auto, which knowing Toyota, I doubt, then maybe up the gauges. But the LE has precision pointing needles and knowing the rest of the car is bland it’s actually equal.

IT IS A SAFETY HAZZARD! COMPARED TO THE LIGHTS ON HONDAS OR OTHER VEHICLES... WHICH ARE VERY VISIBLE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT OR IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS... THE TOYOTA LIGHTS ARE VERY POOR VISIBILITY! I HOPE TOYOTA MAKES SERIOUS CHANGES TO THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE TOYOTA... MAKE LARGER MORE VISIBLE HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS!
