2020 Toyota Corolla vs VW Golf vs Ford Focus - is hybrid better than petrol or diesel? | What Car?

[@toninocars]

The adjustment of the seat of Corolla is the best in class, fine adjustments can be done with up and down instead but one pull up or down flexibility is at most for many drivers that drives a lot and do get breaks, naps in the car. All three cars are good but the hybrid tech just sends Corolla to the top. Best and only sensible choice for a new car right now

[@pollumG]

Dials for seat adjustment is horrible

[@nikomoin7604]

The Toyota looks stunning

[@rondhole]

@tuboludo Yeah, 4th gen hybrid in Corolla is definitely the best reliability statistically and historically. Most 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gen hybrid pass 200k miles without any glitch if maintained properly (fluid and filter change). Meanwhile, VW and Ford are plaque with clogged intake valves, fail injectors and fuel pumps, and offcourse DCT transmission from Getrag. But if you keep less than 5 years /100k miles, you did not see much problems in any of them. That is the reason why VW and Ford failed completely in North America market where people drives much more than European.

[@TerryLestrange]

I did drive in it many times as my friend has one. It's my favorite car and on my wish list. It's amazing.

[@trianggaindralukmana2184]

@@trianggaindralukmana2184 DSG or automated manual transmission is something that Honda and Toyota abandoned 10y ago in Auris, Civic, Yaris, etc. They switch to push belt CVT and extremely reliable hybrid all gears e-CVT.

[@thomasatanto]

I think we all know that they will always put the VW golf in first place, why?, i dont know. I cant see how the vw golf is better than the corolla. I accept that the VW Golf is good in particular areas like the quality of the interior, the driving experience and the fact that it has the best space in the boot and the rear seats. The corolla may not have as much room in the back seats and the boot may not be as big as in the golf, it is not too far behind, and it will be enough for most peoples needs. The interior quality in the corolla has improved, not to the golfs level but it is certainly more well built than the Focus. The amount of standard equipment you get in the corolla is excellent, you have to pay extra for it in the focus and golf. Yes, maybe, the corolla isnt as fun to drive as the focus but not everybody wants that driving experience, they may want a calm and relaxing driving experiece which the corolla certainly delivers. In my opinion, i think the corolla is the best car in this group as it has all the good points of the two other cars but there is one big differnece, toyotas reliability reputation is much better than vws and ford reliabilty reputation.

[@NorthernBirdBoy]

I can never understand why anyone prefers a wheel to adjust seat tilt compared to the fast level instead. Really handy when you want to chill in your car and recline the seats right back (not when driving of course)...also my understanding is that although android auto and apple car play isn't offered currently with the corolla it is coming in a future update that can be added to the current car. Though when this is due to happen I don't know.

[@nickhickson8738]

Well a wheel gives infinite adjustment whereas as lever with fixed point very rarely satisfies. I can never find an ideal angle in my partner's Hyundai i10.

Real drivers doesn’t focus that much with the tech, bells and whistles of a vehicle, it’s all about safety and reliability in the long run... Toyota all the way!!!

[@enesalkovicguitar]

Real drivers focus on driving characteristics, seating position, ergonomics, quality of interior..... A to B drivers focus on long run reliability.... And I can surely say none of these 3 cars will have any problems before 150k km (but thing golf with 1.0 is big no, it needs 1.5 tsi or some of 1.6 or 2.0 diesels)

[@nikolanikola8543]

@@enesalkovicguitar You know nothing about cars. VW is a pile of junk. Unreliable and overpriced. Real car lovers go for a Toyota. It's just much better built and way better looking. I don't even have to mention how much more reliable Toyota is.

[@AHBdV]

Funny... I read the title "is hybrid better than diesel or petrol". And the result of the test is YES. It is way better than both. And then the winner is the worst of all three, the petrol. Yeah right... And apparently because the resolution of the infotainment system is so high... not that you'll ever see it, because it is located near your feet! Nobody in his right mind would consider a new car with the screen placed so low! It is actually dangerous having to look so far off from the road.

[@Poncho202]

Just love how the focus' dashboard was wobbling around when Doug was driving it 👌

[@rondhole]

The main different is only one of these will still run without any issue after 5 years/100k miles. Definitely after 20 years/400k miles only Toyota will run and run and run

[@rondhole]

@Shogun 09 It is still the same, 200k miles on 2013 Prius and Sienna, they are all trouble free, only some recalls for free and fluid changes including ATF every 100k miles. I can barely see any German cars go beyond 100k miles without expensive maintenance or repairs, especially dualclutch VW and Ford.

[@kristians2704]

If reliability was the only thing that matters then car reviews shouldn’t exist because everyone would just buy a Toyota.

[@rondhole]

@@kristians2704 You are absolutely right. This is a review of new cars, not used 10 years old cars. Definitely, if 2-3 years without issue, most cars are pretty damn good. But most people keep their cars 5-6 years. Some are just too problematic like many TFSI engine in GTI that leak waterpump every 50k Km or 3 years, just after warranty expired. Or DSG or Powershift problems every 60k miles or less if drive in city alot. Those are the ones that car reviewers should mention. In North America, most cars have at least 6 years warranty for the powertrain (engine+transmission). Those are pretty hard benchmarks for cars like FIAT, GM, some VW and Ford with dual-clutch transmission, Mini/BMW, and Crysler.

[@nikolaidiqnov6801]

I don't think the review is fair to the corolla. It is probably the best of the bunch. Why is no one talking about reliability? Vw is not trouble free and the same goes for the Ford. Also, why no one is mentioning residual value? If you decide to sell your Corolla, it will keep a lot more of its value when it hits the 5 year mark. The Ford loses most of its value by that time.

[@AntJoseph_]

Toyota didn’t pay them, That’s why! Funny thing though. It’s been said the Corolla is a very fun car to drive (even if not as exciting as the Focus (but much better than the Golf)) and the interior quality and materials are beyond those found in the Golf and Focus. Most U.K. car reviewers must have something against Toyota that I just don’t understand...

[@DevonDumpling70]

@Anthony José we have a Corolla GR sport and it's amazing. The entertainment system is much better than these so called journalists make out. It's fabulous and comfortable to drive. Wins hands down for me.

[@MIGerlag]

Simply put, if you want the best driving dynamics then you buy a Ford, if you want solid long term reliability & durability then you buy a Toyota. If you’re just a boring old fart with no taste then any VW is perfect for you.👍🏻

[@nickhickson8738]

That's just the point you're missing. The Golf has a timeless, tasteful interior.

[@forza223bowe5]

Nick Hickson The golf is bland car, not boring. However, it feels solid and well built, unlike the focus and a Toyota

[@Horizon301.]

The golf is the UK;s best selling car, it’s pretty much the best car. Why? Because you can see any kind of person driving one, older people, parents, families, teenagers etc. Such a brilliant vehicle, it’s not really boring, very appealing compared to these new focus models with the basic grilles. Plus the interior is perfect, just owning one you will realise how easy it is to live with, you can use everything without looking at the temperature controls for example. We have had ours for 2 years, it’s been used mire than any other car, so much easier and even compared to a 7 series, it doesn’t feel like a huge step down. Hence we used the golf far more. And mind you, that’s a very appealing car

[@forza223bowe5]

Long term review after 100k miles or 6 years will show how much the quality difference between them. After 20 years corolla may still run real fine with may be its 2nd battery pack that cost €2350 installed in Toyota dealer. I am sure focus will still run too but after 5k or more of repair and definitely Golf for even more € on repair.

[@AndreiZer0]

It may depend on how you maintain them. I have a 2014 golf with a 1.6 diesel engine(the 110hp one with 6 gears) with over 225k km(don’t how many miles that means) and the only things I’ve changed are the shock absorbers, timing belt with all parts that come with it and oil with filters.

I have been using Auris Hybrid for a week (when my old Ford Focus MK2 petrol 100KM has an electrical issue). My opinion: - Auris with all the batteries was too heavy and had a lot of issue with absorbing major roughness, - the traction wasn't on the level of the Ford Focus MK2, but wasn't bad either, - the power and dynamic was OK, but the sound and the way the rotations of the engine has being adjusted was so annoying that hard to accept. So if Corolla, than it has to be a traditional petrol, or maybe a fully electrical car in the future.

all 3 cars will last for most people that buy them new

Obvious the golf was going to win bit like comparing a BMW to a Dacia I've had 2 Ford's the interiors are appalling i know they go round corners well but that's not enough to buy one .

[@MG-ce3dx]

True mate , they are nice to drive in corners but that's about it..the interior quality in the Ford and the quality of the car overall is not that good and it just doesn't have that solidity feel as the Golf .. I love the new Corolla exterior, but on the interior, it just feels typically Toyota style, everything feels bland and cheap, and the infotainment system it really is a joke 😂

British Car Auctions Fords have class leading driving dynamics, however, the interiors are awful on the focus

@@forza223bowe5 yes I know

[@xIcarus227]

@@MG-ce3dx that 'solidity feel' is just that: a feel. Reliability on the VW is pretty garbage nowadays, and coupled with the relatively high maintenance/repair cost that doesn't bode well for long term ownership. Beside, the interior of the new Focus is decent. Not Mazda 3 levels, but decent and definitely comparable to the Golf.

S I own a golf, and it’s not as well built as it looks. There is a rattle which I can’t understand where it’s coming from. The petrol cap failed to open.

[@Satrolkof]

I just bought the corolla and has NOTHING to do with those little ones. Speed handiling as you feel it its just from another world and ho2 sport mode works lol

[@spamansh1710]

The toyota looks the best

[@rob_lightbody]

Stupid annoying test. Why wouldn't you the hybrid versions of all three?

[@biologysciencedipen9322]

Ford focus is best. VW is joke.

[@androJaab]

I thought Frod stopped making small cars..

[@wayneheyes4934]

Toyota needs to wake up! No apple car play or android auto! That is UNACCEPTABLE in new cars

[@AntJoseph_]

THERE IS APPLE CAR PLAY IN CASE YOU DONT KNOW
