Toyota Corolla Review

[@rainystorm88]

So rare to see an auto journalist praise the corolla for what it’s trying to be!

[@rightlanehog3151]

Great point.

[@davinp]

Most people complain that the Corolla is boring and has a slow CVT transmission - not enough power. But the Corolla is a good quality, reliable and value car. I have an SE with the premium package and paid $20,000 for it. The premium package includes weather floormats, Etune Plus upgrade, sunroof and SmartKey system.

[@qadrik]

Great review as usual. I really appreciate that you're reviewing the "normal" folks' cars. Please review some more "normal people" cars.

[@penvon]

qadrik Ikr,not a $50k Tesla or their $100k S & X models.

[@Doubleyou115]

qadrik Chevy Equinox Diesel, Honda CRV, Honda Pilot all on the way in the next 1.5 months 👍

[@sandramccoy491]

Thanks .

[@Packinheat1175]

Totally agree.

[@pete6506]

A month ago someone t-boned my corolla at 45 miles a hour The Corolla stayed intact I was not seriously injured and airbags deployed as they should. Not saying it saved my life but I'm not saying it didn't. Just got another one today

[@rightlanehog3151]

Glad to hear you made it through in one piece.

[@patrickv418]

This is a no brainer ....yes Buy it !! If you like this vehicle its really hard to go wrong getting one .Not my pick as I unfortunately like Hot Hatches and sports cars which traditionally trade off driving dynamics and performance generally speaking for reliability. For anyone who does like the Corolla and is thinking of getting one...yeah as I said its, a no brainer buy one !

[@rightlanehog3151]

Glad you mentioned that the new hatch will be built on the TNGA platform when it arrives this summer. With all the disruption/relocation/disruption/relocation of Corolla sedan assembly taking place across North America right now, it is hard to say when the all-new sedan will actually come to market. In the meantime the made-in-Canada Corolla is a super sensible choice for people who love trunks and eschew hatches.

[@anthropology4everyone622]

I'll take the hatch.

[@u_mad_bro_xd1359]

I went from a 1999 Toyota Corolla to a 2018. I’m glad I’ve made a change it’s a much better ride now :D.

[@secordman]

Just a small thing but I really like that good sized digital clock at eye level on the mid-dash. I knew someone with a 1990's Tercel who had the same feature. In my car I always have to squint to check the time. I like the look of the dash, everything is pretty sensible. Might be buying a used 2018 soon with low mileage so thanks Mike Gurr for an informative review. No traffic on the DVP that's a change.

[@Orange-yp9bl]

Thanks for the video was thinking about getting this car ... But not anymore ...Will look into the corolla hatchback

[@rightlanehog3151]

Hennessy, There should be some great deals coming up on the 2018 iM hatch as the all-new 2019 is due in late summer.

[@Knightshield]

Scarborough Town Centre!!

[@ubaidkhan8391]

Great review, I like the way you speak keep it up....

[@A3A4Tom]

Civic and Mazda3 can do exactly what Corolla can do. With style, performance and driving fun. All with equally compelling resale value.

[@TALYJIMMY]

civic are noisy on the inside and arent smooth as toyota

[@connordurham8216]

Style is subjective but Corolla still looks good civic has good resale value but the Mazda isn’t as good plus advance active safety tech is standard unlike any other compact car at the time finally your getting Toyota reliability my 17 corolla xse has 164,000 and still going strong

[@hirundine44]

The CVT in Honda's Civic is very nice too. Had several Corollas during my lifetime the best was the wagon from late sixties. Apart from the rust back then. All imports used to suffer badly from that. Then they, Toyota, dropped the wagon. The last one we had was a sedan in 1980's and it was a nice car then. The Tercel came in a wagon type hatch. Reasonable price always with a Corolla. Today's 132 HP etc. is painfully slow overall, when compared to other similar equipped vehicles. Especially once you get out of city limits here, in southern B.C. Obviously their marketing people, know what they are about? I didn't even go look last fall.

[@rightlanehog3151]

JA, The next Corolla will have about 170 HP and a top spec suspension so it ought to be substantially quicker. Fingers crossed, Toyota will bring back the wagon they still sell overseas.

[@cosmicbluevox1001]

Lol Mike Gurr has to review another econobox. Someone give this man a real car to review.

[@ItsAMadHouse360]

All these people talking about boring....a car that starts every time and keeps you out of the shop...if that’s boring to you ok I’m a big bore.

[@ChristopherCarReviews]

Great video.

[@aairaandalishba4380]

Can u pls do a review on 2018 Corolla IM

[@rightlanehog3151]

Syed Ahmed, Check the Motormouth Canada listings for the iM review. BTW there are lots of Corolla iM /Scion iM reviews on KZbin.

[@su8096]

Very nice design Toyota dare to design cars thats not duplicate to others

[@sandramccoy491]

Very nice car

[@3IS2UR]

no matter how good a corolla is, it will never shake off the bad reputation of their drivers or it's just a driving school's car...

[@anthropology4everyone622]

Ahh B, That "bad reputation' has resulted in over 44 million Corollas sold. For people who do not fantasize about being a Formula 1 driver and who hate wasting money on repairs, the Corolla has always been just about the best choice there is. The next generation ought to offer a big increase in "driving dynamics" for those who regularly confuse their suburban streets with the Nurburgring.

[@busywl69]

they run forever. so do camrys. for some cars are a necessary functional thing that needs to be reliable, comfortable with looks being a distant 3rd. especially in areas with speed limits of 40mph city / 55mph highway.

[@BTC909]

Boring but you can't go wrong with this. Don't expect AA on the refresh. It should get ACP.

[@ronisworld2916]

2018?

[@Hamiltonoracle]

great review! The XSE seems pricey to me specially when you can get the Nissan Leaf SV for 29K in ontario after taxes and rebates. Not sure why buyers of affordable commuter cars aren't looking into EVs.

[@jamesng8554]

Martin Diaz Range anxiety and battery loss (over time and cold weather). At 0C, batteries lose 5% range, but heating for 0C eats much more than just 5%. (Google Nissan Leaf temperature graphs) The rational sane city commuter would buy an electric car and rent for longer use, but realistically they want a vehicle to drive for camping, commuting, -30C and still have good range and quick fill. That and trudge through 5cm of snow.

[@Trades46]

EV are not for everyone. Lots of people still don't want a car with a plug no matter what you or I say.

[@camperpro482]

EV batteries are expensive.

[@bigfatengineer]

Putting in some miles, Mike! Good work!

[@PikMan214]

Dear Mr Mouth. If you would, please do the reviews of Toyota/Lexus and Honda and let the new young guys do the 2nd rate cars. They tend to trash Toyota and praise cars like Mazda even tho the Corolla alone sells more cars than all Mazda models combined. Would be much appreciated.

[@camperpro482]

show the 6 speed

[@TheJoedirt05]

Wouldn't really call it compact. More like midsize. The Yaris would be the compact toyota.

[@craigmain248]

Boring car, but it is the most durable car in it's class. You see many 20+ year old Corollas around. If you want cheap reliable transportation, get a Corolla.

[@gordonfreeman5434]

corolla + awd = impreza

[@Cruiser203]

Gordon Freeman true, only reason people don't hate on the impreza as much is because of it's awd, or else it's a super boring car like the Corolla

[@SuperMan-em7nh]

Erkal lol

[@kalpakrshah999]

super..!! :)

[@Zednix]

Most of what Toyota makes is a snore to look at and drive. If you don't give any thought to enjoying your driving then Toyota is for you.

[@SuperMan-em7nh]

Zednix 55 lol

[@RecicledCanadian]

Boring. ZOOM ZOOM!!!

[@chiluco2000]

Unsubscribing because Zack can't be bothered to review a Corolla as it appears to be beneath him

[@Motormouth...]

There are like four corolla videos done by me, lighten up

[@rightlanehog3151]

You tell 'em Zack!

[@swanblake]

Typical Toyota, the car to buy in this segment driving pleasure is the least sought aspect of a car. Appliance. Not really breaking any news with that statement. It is interesting how people confuse great sales numbers equating to it being a great vehicle. Just not true here

[@katanamast279]

My 2015 Toyota Camry has horrible resale value and depreciation. Not sure where you got these facts from

[@katanamast279]

VW is SHIT i don't see how considering they make a bazillion of Corollas and Camrys. Maybe it depends where in the world. Which market are you in since you say my information ia incorrect?

[@joshuasyrtash860]

boring!!

[@splen12]

Toyota !!! what a joke

[@lexusfan100]

bring zack back plzz!!!

[@davidjym]

The Corolla might be 'boring', but that's what made it appeal to most people who are looking for a car that just works.

[@rightlanehog3151]

David Y There is nothing more boring than being in the garage all the time getting your 'exciting' car fixed.

[@anthropology4everyone622]

Motormouth Zack reviewed the same car in December. Now I am really confused.

[@dreamcruzer4743]

I was done as soon as you said CVT.

[@py1211]

I also hate CVT but I must admit Toyota has done a pretty good job on that, probably the best in the market, that may change your mind after you drove one. I did and I'm impressed.

[@rightlanehog3151]

The offer a manual .

[@roxyroller25]

toyota cvt is not a nissan cvt

[@rickbeyers]

Impressive car..good review..thx

[@Trades46]

Still the best car for non-car people. Very safe, efficient and reliable but for anyone with an ounce of car interest, there are better choices in the market.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Would an unsafe, inefficient and unreliable car be a better choice for a real car person ?

[@Trades46]

Try Civic - equally reliable, safe and a bucket load more fun to drive.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Trades46, Is the jury still out on those new Honda turbos or shall we simply assume they will last for 20 years like Honda's NA engines?

[@Trades46]

If you're afraid of turbo engines, Mazda 3 perhaps? My statement is that the Corolla is fine as a means of transportation, but just not very interesting to people who like cars.

[@rightlanehog3151]

T46, I'm not afraid of turbo engines, I am TERRIFIED by them. If I was shopping in this segment today I 'd get the iM manual. This summer a new 170HP Corolla hatch will be on the market that will probably offer best in class fuel economy. We'll see how "boring" that is compared to the interesting options ;)

[@alep7358]

Get a corolla and drive it for 10 years, most American cars will be problem free for 5 years now a days

[@Shark-Hp]

great review and that is why i am buying one soon.

[@ivanlowjones]

The Honda Civic and Hyundai Elantra still seem like better choices in this segment.

[@penvon]

J High Hyundai has way too many issues with vehicles stalling & engine problems.

[@ablecdn1565]

For the price the Corolla provides much better safety features though

[@snazari1994]

Can't beat the price and reliability

[@ivanlowjones]

hardcoremeri The new Elantra especially the Limited and Sport trims are very highly regarded. Perhaps you should check out the plethora of KZbin review videos.

[@danielshaysevand5096]

true

[@rudfil]

Best appliance to get from A to B.

[@santiagovillarreal6647]

Excellent review!

[@Mo.Jo.]

ancient architecture/design, makes me yawn when i look at it.

[@rbielarski]

Then don't look at it.

[@timothyxxxpaul]

It's pretty nice for a basic lower level car. I just bought the fully loaded se version and it feels so premium for a car that's only $20,000

[@peKadoDeDioZ]

damn dude if your looking for something exciting your looking at wroooooong car man
