Toyota Corolla | The Answer To Inflation

[@jeremiahr3615]

Apple vision pro or Toyota corolla?

[@LeopaldStraus]

That Corolla is the best car in the world. A real driver knows this

[@alisaid2331]

💯

[@chinothegreat1]

I LOVE MINE 💯

[@igorrosales1799]

Yes but what year is the best?

[@jviaud7921]

Bought mine 5 years ago 4000$ CDN.CE model stick. Today it Carries 196000 Kms. First mod I did after I bought it was to change the audio system. The brake pads, rotors ad did the clutch. Beside that it is slow but I enjoy a ‘Rolla.

My very basic 2004 Corolla CE lasted 310,000 miles. It’s not that it broke down, but it was hit by a drunk driver when it was parked in the street. Totaled. So I replaced that car with a 2008 Lexus IS250. It’s kind of an upgrade because that car is a luxury V6 sedan that’s way smoother and better insulated. I do miss my Corolla. It was a phenomenal car. Many memories, it was my first car.

[@termonostruman]

my went to shpt only 3 tiems and it had 450.000 its an opel.

[@philiplamprecht513]

Man, that is relatable. My first car was an '03 Corolla stickshift. Had it for nearly 12 years, and just recently blew the engine at around 313k miles. It had started burning through coolant without me realizing, and ended up overheating. Fantastic car.

[@ruik7797]

This is my first and current car. Bought it for 6k in 2017 with only 50k miles on it. Currently at 120k miles and havent had a single thing wrong with it. Fits adults great in the back seat and gets over 30 highway. I threw in a apple carplay headunit and ill drive it until it blows up. So lucky I found it.

[@d53101]

The 2003 to 2008 Corolla series is among the best Corollas made. I have a 2008 Corolla bought in 2017 for $8000.00 CAD. It had only 69,000 kilometres at the time. It’s been a very reliable car since then.

[@DiscoFang]

My partner has the 5 dr hatchback version with the 2zz-ge engine and manual trans. She's had it for 15 years and still loves it. Only work in it's life beyond normal servicing is fuel pump and a power steering hose. Great car.

[@rayemanuel7460]

I own a 2012 Corolla LE with 164K on it. Super reliable and inexpensive to maintain. My goal is to get at least 300K out of it.

[@termonostruman]

all cars do 300.000 had a vw, a skoda and a citroen, all of them amde more thna 300.000

[@sergiocaballeros6747]

I have a 2004 Corolla ce manual transmission great in gas up to 40 mpg in highway and 30 mpg in town I love it..great vehicle

[@drewmorg.]

Beaters are great reliefs. Love driving them!

[@ZentRose]

Totally agree!

[@thomasmooreng5916]

Just got mine, a 2007 model.. Looking forward to how it works.

[@juanas1989]

Mine is a 2008 and has 312.000 miles. No issues . 35 Mpg. Best car in the world

[@DonutVIP]

Bought mine used, 06 corolla le, 5 spd manual. 162k unmolested, 6th owner, new control, ball joint, clutch, and brakes all around. Love it, now sitting at 218k miles and engine is still purring like new

[@mrrevival6565]

Nice care-free drive/commute 👍🏻 there is also ALOT of Corolla’s everytime I’m junkyard hopping in SoCal

[@adamrozman]

Intake manifold gaskets are common to go (replaced at around 180k because they deteriorated and threw a lean code) and possible timing chain tensioner. Those were the two main engine repairs I had to do on my 1zz 2005 matrix.

[@myk1_sp]

How many miles does your 05 Matrix have and what's the RPM on a cold start?

[@5162-b8y]

They just cost $9 bucks and takes 10 minutes to replace

[@SD-lu2pc]

Did u ever change the chain to ? At 180k ? Heard u need to change the chain

[@Prepare2Survive]

Yup, same here. Replaced the intake manifold gasket at 170k and timing chain tensioner at 224k also change the automatic transmission fluid every 50k

[@ArtisticHH57]

As someone who used to be obsessed with cars but now obsesses over public transit and animation, I can admit that I personally really want a Corolla. It’s one of the only cars I feel comfortable in for driving because of its uniquely small size.

[@Prepare2Survive]

Don't forget to replace the transmission fluid every 50k miles with actual Toyota fluid and never have it flushed. Just a simple transmission fluid drain and transmission filter change.

[@Daniel_Antonio_Arellano782]

Cool little car. I used to buy Chevys and Fords back in the day. Once I bought a Toyota , that's all I have bought since.

[@RickBerg-b9k]

0:30 This particular car would go for a lot more than $3,000 today.

[@thabanakabo4370]

Bought my first car last month ,a 2012 Toyota Corolla 1.3 vvti with 320,000km mileage for price equivalent of $4000 here in Botswana 🇧🇼 . Hey just trying to avoid loans and high maintenance cars,plus my folks own 3 Toyotas currently with more than 200,000km mileage each,so why not. Just a few things to do to it like brake pads,new tyres,shocks but still runs okay and clean.

[@Legend-zo9bc]

Looks like the Corolla is still a go to for reliability, I had a 1990 way back in 1998, that thing ran and ran and never let me down, breaks, tires and exhausts were only thing I ever had to replace!

[@on_the_mooch2708]

Had nine five years here in wales uk. 2000 model. Love it.

[@adisolomon007]

How about a follow-up video on how the car is performing after owning it for 6+ months?

[@liquidh5226]

Love this sort of reviews. For the common men. Thanks!

[@jamesyoung5610]

My 2zz 9th gen rolla has 400k+ miles, and it still hits lift!

[@enriquet548]

The fuel filter is easy to replace and can enhance performance at this mileage. Also get a new gas tank cap to avoid gas tank fumes leaking.

[@nchounramany]

Would love to see an updated ownership video of the corolla ! Currently looking for a corollla as a daily / beater.

[@ZentRose]

Will do. I am almost at 200k miles now

[@nchounramany]

@@ZentRose awesome, can't wait

[@Jesus.Saves.bible1]

I have a 2005 corolla LOVE IT!!!

[@MrBolonio]

I bought last week on Craigslist a 2003 Corolla CE 151k miles,for 3k cash,,it performs amazing,then after Installing bluetooth I feel like I bought a brand new car with Spotify👌,,BTW,,I love Santiago canyon my favorite place to ride.

[@CYPHER360_]

How did you install BT bro? I just bought this car and it's my first time owning one...

[@valiantviktor]

@@CYPHER360_ Chances are, he's using one of those radio Bluetooth receivers that plug into the cigarette lighter port. It's either that or an aftermarket radio.

[@harvestblades]

I just bought an '08 with 170k for $2k. One little rust spot & paint isn't great, but still a good looking car with really clean interior. The only thing that would make this perfect (for a Corolla) would be a manual transmission. I travel a lot for work, often working from my vehicle for 12-16 hour shifts so a reliable, economical, & comfy vehicle with storage room will be nice. I'll miss my '00 Jeep XJ Cherokee, but I'll save that for when the snow gets deep & 4x4 is a must. Speaking of which these get around great in snow & ice if you put a set of dedicated snow tires up front.

[@ted8934]

Bought a Corolla last year for about $2200 (26500 SEK at that time) And this thing feels solid. Had to change the end exhaust system and tighten the handbrake, other than that it dirt cheap maintanance and other costs. it just rolls without headaches

[@mflcgaming5104]

Got mine today! 165k miles 2,300$ a little rough around the edges but I compromised with the lower price so I can have some money to work on it

[@darkseid8481]

I did negotiating with a car dealer few years ago for a corolla 2004, got it for around that same price. only had to replace the pcv valve and intake manifold seal also the valve cover seals

[@DNOJ]

Truly fun to drive

[@215_Philly_4for4]

Had an 07 Corolla LE and it got me through a lot as a late teen/20-something. Wasn’t sexy or flashy but it was my first car and I got 230,000 miles out of it. It had just gotten to a point where fixing it was gonna cost more than its value. Great daily driver if you take care of it.

[@Weather_Nerd]

My 5 speed same year with 220k miles pulls about 31-34mpg hwy @ 75mph 👍

[@EmekaNebo-m8n]

I have 2004 from Canada very nice car ❤

[@esoper]

I have the exact car with 85000. I’m original owner. Nice car.

[@hamsterbrigade]

185,000 miles on a corolla only means something if it never had the oil changed. I'm not sure if that 1zz has the precat issue the MR2 Spyders do. Otherwise I'm fairly certain that's a 500k mile motor.

[@ZentRose]

500k would be great! I love this corolla.

[@TheFilm2011]

Great video, thanks for making it.

[@tsant6591]

I want one. I've owned pickups all my life. I'm old and retired now. Hopefully I can find a decent one down here in Florida

[@LUiGiiTZ2009]

Shouldn’t you do conventional oil or synthetic blend because it’s an older car?

[@mjk9674]

Full Synthetic is the only oil to use. Change it every 4k miles

[@dedgar6161]

planning to drive my corolla to 250k minimum. Yes i'm tempted to buy a newer car... but why would i when i know i have a great car that drives perfectly already

[@ZentRose]

Agreed but I think you’ll make it to 300k without any issue. Enjoy the Corolla!

[@harridperez9051]

I will buy mines next month❤❤❤❤

[@uazhar2013]

I made a similar move with a 04 pilot for pretty cheap after the pandemic and prior to the inflation..still got my s2k to beat on though..

[@williebrown6406]

Love the channel. This car reminds me of energy equities during inflationary times. #Uranium

[@TougeTime]

I recently scooped up a 2008 honda fit 5mt for 4k 155k Same costco tires lol. Ass paint but great beater/doge car

[@ZentRose]

Awesome! Enjoy it

[@MyLifeThai371]

I love my 2008 Honda Fit automatic transmission. 36 mpg on the highway sometimes, but I usually get 28-32.

[@jgwalling]

I have the same car with 260,000 mi runs really good

[@Neruodiv87]

I’ve been searching for a 2003-2008 Corolla S 5 speed sunroof & heated seats for the longest. Every time I find one it either has the sunroof or the heated seats but never both🤦🏽‍♂️.

[@jonathanratliff4780]

Do u still own it? How has it performed for you? Thx!!!!

[@EMENIKEP]

Very rugged and reliable transportation but I still have preference for 8th Gen Civic

[@mckricks1]

Had a 04 manual civic that was the funnest car I've ever driven but had valve cover issues. Now I'm looking into a manual one of these hoping it will have some fun factor, but sadly hearing it also has oil burning issues...

[@bigbigspoon]

Joying head unit with wireless Apple car play is worth the $350-400 upgrade

[@bag2963]

Great deal, what would be your advice on how to make money for the first car in collage?

[@ZentRose]

Depends on the person. I bought and sold car parts from the local junkyard when I was in college and then started to flip cars. My engineering internship didn't pay much by comparison.

[@bag2963]

@@ZentRose Yes I've seen the video where you talk about it, but I live in Europe so junkyard thing isn't an option it would be interesting tho, but I found two jobs- 10 hours worktime dispatcher with a decent pay and real estate agent/broker, I'm not sure which would have more flexible schedule and pay, while broker max pay was like ₾9000-12000, while dispatcher's max was ₾4500, it must be about experience. I'll be a building systems engineer when I graduate and there's one $30 000 concrete scanner which if I learn would be the best option, because I'll gain experience and after finishing just one object I'll be able to buy a car.

[@bag2963]

@@ZentRose Also I don't have a car to do delivery stuff, I'm into skateboarding and laptops quite a bit when I'll have money I'll think about importing(laptops and parts from ebay and skate parts on sales). Do you think it's possible to get into investing and finances as you did based on your Investing playlist? Literature and books must be needed too and I Don't mean stocks market, everything but that.

Friend was looking for his first car for $5000. I concluded the same thing - 05-08 corolla is the best decision to make. I have a 2013 corolla - boring reliable car. Replaced a 2004 scion tc with 240,000.

[@thomato981]

Have you had any issue with your 2013 Toyota Corolla? Just doing research about reliable used cars.

@@thomato981 Good year, still the non-cvt transmission. Look for leak in timing cover, racheting valve noise on startup (variable valve timing gear, expensive.

[@RubenGonzalez-zk1sk]

depends if you live in an area with traffic. los angeles here, could get a manual but it just wouldn't make sense. auto would be the way to go in my situation

[@Commando484z]

That's why I wish swapping to a manual transmission wasn't super hard in this car. I've heard that the manual for this car definitely helps it come more alive compared to the slow auto.

If you’re ever in an accident you’ll wish you spent double your budget on a safer car. There are a lot of BMW, merc,audi, and volvo products out there to be had on a beater budget. Maintenance will be more expensive but the safety is worth it. Money is worthless if you cant spend it.

Why do you say that? These are pretty safe and reliable. Maybe just a bit small but oh well

[@ajr5195]

@@swagkidm10 very reliable but in a different category of safety compared to the cars I listed above. I worked in a body shop and towing business for 14 years so I got to see a lot crashed cars. Any modern car is not ‘unsafe’ but some are drastically safer than others.

This is also WAY more reliable than most of those from this era or earlier… and do just fine in crash tests. If someone is so afraid of how their car will crumple they may want to stop driving entirely or learn how to drive defensively

Get the Honda Fit instead. They are way responsive and zippy and can be used as a pickup for hauling large cargo. Better MPG as well.

Civics are more fast, but Corolla are more reliable. Corollas have wrong engines and transmissions along with suspension Hondas have weak tranny's and weak suspension, rear arms will weak your tires weak struts. I had 20 Toyotas and 15 Hondas, I know the truth

Wrong engines??
