“You’re a soldier going off to war with an empty locket.” A gem of a sentence that hits deep.
went down the comments looking for this, and was not disappointed. This is why I watch RCR
For some reason that statement struck me with curiosity, and I've been thinking about it for a while now. Could you or someone more linguistically-inclined than me explain what it means in layman's terms?
big chicken It means you have no loved one waiting for you at home. Captain America with his picture of Peggy in the compass, as an example of someone who does have a loved one and the picture is a reminder of what they are fighting to get back to.
@@WaywardPondering Gotcha. I think I understand what he was trying to convey now, I'll have to think about it more. Thank you for the explanation, I appreciate it. (9:30 for personal reference.)
Woah you watched the video too?!!
I've just realized what this is. This is like the modern day EF civic hatch. Oooohhh boy this is going to be interesting in the next 20 years when no one will be able to find a clean stock one
My spray painted ef hatch has definitely been through the ringer but I frickin love that car
I think the Honda Fit was the "modern day civic hatch"
Nothing like mr regular after an all nighter
Joel Marji amen, that was a crazy snowstorm.
I Swear! Lol
Fr fr
oh yeah
I'm still waiting for a 3rd gen Fit review...
It's still like an old honda civic.
Apparently they're not bringing the next Honda Fit to NA? Kinda sucks because I've been hoping they'd make a Fit Type-R, but it seems Toyota's beat them to that with the Yaris.
@@Sean-Ax The new fit is a hybrid-only, if I recall correctly (4th gen fit). A fit Si would make more sense to compete with the corolla hatch in terms of power, anyway. Plus, I haven't heard any official word from Honda about the Fit in the US. With the previous generations, it has always been a year or so before the new gen comes to NA from the rest of the world, so I'm hoping for that. But NA hates subcompacts for some reason.
@@LazerLord10 That could be true; I probably read something speculative and misinterpreted it.
@@Sean-Ax Yeah, I also read it somewhere, but I think it was speculation as well. I could see why it'd be axed in NA because of the (comparatively) small sales numbers, but we'll see.
@@Sean-Ax just buy a first gen and K swap it, k tuned coilovers, then put some CTR seats in it & cover it in "Type R" badges. Done.
Always liked the idea of a simple, competent 6MT/4cyl. The manual Accords of the 1990s were roughly the same size/weight, less power, but were solid and pleasing to drive.
-Names his channel Regular Car Reviews.
-Complains about reviewing another Corolla.
“Maybe I’m aging” proceeds to go full Boomer saying it doesn’t sound like. ‘Murican V8...... damn you I agree now I’m gonna go watch Hannity on my vcr I program to tape it.
Haha
haha murican v8 go vroom
@@더블캠 haha carberator goes VROOM
It doesn't sound like anything though, it doesn't sound like a hot little 4 banger, it sounds like an electric car.
Putting an aftermarket intake and exhaust in a 4 cylinder without a turbo, is kinda pointless. It’s made for fuel efficiency, not for sport.
They should bring the new 2020 Corolla TS station-wagon to North America.
doesn't make sense. The US is the land of the crossover and truck and suv now and thats what sells. I work at a toyota dealership and 70 percent of what we get in for service are tundras, tacomas, highlanders and 4runners.
@@grahamsproductionz you forgot to mention Rav4s
i would go and buy it, but it wont come
@@grahamsproductionz I drove the new Corolla station wagon in Greece and it was one of the best economy vehicles I ever tried. Had more luggage room than a RAV4 and is also cheaper by $4K (costs less than a CHR). I'd buy one if they released it here in New York.
@@grahamsproductionz Jack it up, sell it as a cross-over, and have TRD sell a lowering kit.
For me this car offers. Genuinely a nice looking modern car.
Nice looking? Really?
@@pokeytrucker5296 Better looking than the recent past generations lol
I wish the cargo area was bigger. Way smaller than something like a Mazda 3 hatch.
I daily a 2007 Impala LS full size car with a huge trunk and have never used my trunk or backseat... "unless u count the subs"
@@seanguy9720 Cargo Space i wish i cared about my last car was an 04 scoon xB tons of interior space never used aaany of it
I’m glad we get all this simplicity without an upmark here in Europe. It’s not a special and sporty feature we have manuals for some weird reason. I’m a late 90’s kid and I remember it was still a luxury to get powered windows and abs in an economy hatch IN 2005, let alone automatic transmissons. Those were considered a luxurious feature (kudos to VW making us believe that at least). The market is changing but still, manuals are here to stay because anyone who can afford a new car cheaps out on options and trim levels and since manuals are considered widely available and servicable they are here to stay as the lowest and cheapest trim level.
Ironically they now don't sell a manual corolla in Europe (or the UK at least)! The irony
p0rtp0rt, well uk has always been in an interesting spot in terms of car market. Probably depends a lot on the average income and the customer habits. Here in Hungary it’s a really even split between manuals and autos when it comes to new cars, however if the car is not a premium saloon or a hybrid it’s most likely gonna be a manual if it’s sold that way. Mainly maintenance cost is the reason people ignore the automatics. Not many people are qualified to work on them since there weren’t many so the cost of a simple routine transmission fluid change is awfully high and you need to have someone qualified to do it because apparantely most laws do not allow wrenching your own car so good luck with even a lip spoiler let alone an inch larger set of wheels (not mentioning you need to have paperwork done about the transmission fluid change because the next time you have your car examined they might suspect you also have “illegal modifications”).
What I appreciate the most about the SE versus the XSE is that it uses 16” wheels which allow it to have the comfy ride one expects from a Corolla. No sense in low profile tires on a commuter car.
This car looks great! T more I see them, the more I like the design language and proportions.
Coming back to watch this after the release of the GR Corolla. Man, I'd love to see that review.
I loved that Como La Flor esque intro song, keep up the awesome videos.
It’ll actually make power with bolt ons. Check 2jracing for their mild bolt ons and zero tuning making 35whp.
Variable cam timing makes it so cams large enough to make power don’t lope.
You mean the cams in this engine are actually quite aggressive? And the stock tune will allow them to be used that way?
I’m curious to know more. I see no point in throwing a new exhaust or air intake but would love to get up to 190-200hp. Is this at all possible with the se cvt?
Thanks turd ferguson
What the fuck are you talking about bolt ons dont make power unless ignition timing and air fuel is adjusted the only real bolt om thats going to make power is a turbo, yes we know what variable cam shafts are but it doesnt matter because the cam profile is still dog shit because its not meant to be fast and thats okay because its a fucking corolla
I own a 2021 SE 6spd hatch w/o the TRD stuff. It's actually pretty fun and comfortable. I have no regrets through my first 2.5 years, 26k miles of ownership. There's a tiny bit of wear on the fake leather steering wheel, and that's it.
1:30 holy shit, never in my wildest dreams would I imagine RCR making a Redline reference.
I absolutely love this design so beautiful at any angle and I’m not even a Toyota guy but tbh as cool as it is they offer a 6MT they should bring this car out with the V6 with a 6MT that would be so beautiful and the cherry on top
I like it.
Hatchback.
Analogue Gauges (I am sick of that digital crap)
Respectable Power with excellent fuel consumption
Most importantly, 6MT
Veloster R-Spec sounds like it'd be up your alley.
@@TheWatzitooya Probably. I do have lots of respect for Hyundai's.
However for now Ill keep my mk5 Jetta TDI for as long as I can make it last.
Honestly the new 2.0 corollas are some of the best-sounding 4-bangers I've ever heard (when the exhaust is done right). Coming from a V6 VG30 guy, it's highly impressive how deep & non-tinny this sounds unlike other I4's
I can tell you've had enough of reviewing Corolla's in the tone of your voice hahaha! Good stuff like always though
Scotty Kilmer approves of this video😅
Wow. I never thought I'd see a car video whereas the camera guy's footsteps are louder than the car. Right up in its tail pipe, too. O_o
...and that's a shit ton of plastic under the hood.
Nobody:"Man I wish I could buy a Toyota that had all the style and power of the Pontiac Sunfire"
Toyota: *makes this*
That camshaft rolling is peak aesthetic
You forgot a really cool detail about the 2.0 dynamic force; it's valvematic. It has a butterfly valve but it's just there as a precautionary step, the engine speed is controlled solely by Toyota's patented VVT-i system. They've been doing this with that engine since 2014. So it's very responsive.
This car is a road trip machine. Michigan to Florida in a single day, 1,100 miles no sweat
Aftermarket intake and exhaust can still make more power on NA engines in 2020, gains could be marginal, but 10 extra hp when you got 170hp is a difference.
My mother just bought this car. Good car
can style shift knobs are because you see them in sequential shifters, makes it easier to push/pull with your whole hand when it's mounted up high by the steering wheel. Ken block and drift cars made them more popular.
People put them on regular 6MTs without thinking (or because they want it to look like that car they saw on youtube.)
Please rcr, stop talking technicalities, you don't have to change cams/valves/throttle body/remap the ecu or header with a catback to gain power. Exhausts decrease the exhaust gas retention, intakes increase volumetric efficiency. Modern ecus are constantly adjusting the long term and short term fuel trims and ignition maps.
Any decrease in exhaust gas retention will increase volumetric efficiency and reduce pumping losses.
With such a high cr motor and reduction in said exhaust gas reduction will result in more spark advance, which leads to torque and hp increase. (rant over)
A new car with manual? That is a gem.
I absolutely love the look of this car. Can’t wait for a better performer
> 6:08
As someone who had their jaw wired shut. Bubble tea straws were a life saver. It was so much harder to use the smaller normal straws.
I drove a Corolla sedan during my new car search. It was just fine. Adequate power, adequate room, adequate trunk space. But "adequate" was all it was. In a market segment where Mazda evokes sports sedan imagery and Honda builds mini-Acuras, the Corolla never lets you forget you're driving a Corolla. And no amount of blackout trim and spoilers can change that.
They disabled the likes. Lol. Guess its a lot cooler than you thought.
While we aren’t getting the GR Yaris we are getting the GR Corolla that shares the same 1.6L 3 cylinder turbo engine, so we are getting a hot hatch just with no AWD
Toyota Corolla alt names: Pontiac Vibe, Chevrolet Prism, Geo Prism, Toyota Yaris, Holden Nova, Daihatsu Charmant, Suzuki Swace, Toyota Conquest, and Toyota Allion. That’s most of the names by the way because there is more.
“2020 lives in the memories of our youthful expectations of what the future will look like”... nothing more real than that!
The guy running behind the car with the camera is always the best lol his footsteps getting faster as the car drives away.
A GoPro suction cupped to the bumper wouldn’t work…?
Best shift knob : cheap ricer knob from Walmart or eBay that looks like a power ranger robot foot, upside down , feels great.
This car is what the Civic, Neon, 1st gen Focus, and Sentra used to be in the late 90s. It's reasonably priced, NA 4 cylinder, manual transmission, and it gets good gas mileage. This is a budget enthusiast's car. Remember when 170hp was really good for a 4 cylinder? Like the B18 was it for years. You got like 120-130 from a regular 4 cylinder 20 years ago. It's the old, "it's more fun to drive a slow car fast" thing. Not everything needs 250+ horsepower to be fun. Now if they can stop making all cars the same "this is what cars will look like in the future, hurrr!" style.....I guess this is the new malaise era, at least in styling.
Him running after the corolla is the best part of this video
In the Next year or two, Toyota is releasing the Corolla Hatch TRD. Has a turboed 3 cylinder pushing 200+ Hp. Don't remember the specific power numbers unfortunately
This is the 300k mile commuter car in 20 years that still has another 10 years left in it.
I bet that car can go beyond 300k miles probably 600k miles
3 of this dude's cars and you won't do 1 of mine? Real class act guy
My friend has one of these corollas with the same Remark exhaust. Toyota basically gave these cars two step from the factory, so you can't rev the crap out of the car while its in neutral, it stop around 4k rpm. With the remark exhaust his car goes popopopopop, in neutral lol.
Toyota needs a TRD version of this car with a boosted version of this engine. If it made around 200-220 horsepower it could be a great little hot hatch.
Time to watch Redline for the Cherry boy Hunter again
Matrix XRS (proper Toyota hatch) - gave you independent rear suspension, bigger 2.4 litre, optional AWD.
Corolla XSE - fog lights and digital gauges that emulate analog gauges 🤦♂️
2:18 The Auris name was killed off and the hatch and wagon are once again known as the Corolla.
Love my Rolla hatch. Got it because it was simple, probably going to be reliable, and mostly above all, its comfortable and fuel efficient.
when mr regular disables the like and dislike bar, you know he's about to go ham
1:31 was that a Redline reference? Hell yeah.
I test drove one once. I have a manual FR-S and I was curious how different another 2.0L 6-speed car could feel.
The ridiculously long-stroke engine actually has better midrange than the fa20. The shifter and clutch felt... distant though.
Big letdown, that. I had an '02 Solara whose shifter and clutch were way better than the FR-S. For crap's sake, Toyota...
Either this or the current Mazda 3 is the perfect daily driver ( for me, at least )
Strong engine, good milage, nice design, and 6MT gearbox. And they're tuned to be somewhat sporty or at least nice to drive so that's one cool thing.
Specifically for Mazda 3 the interior is absolutely nice.
Vvt is not supposed to give you a change over. It's not changing the valve lift duration and length. You don't have VVTL or VTEC.
I had a 2001 MR2 Spyder. I modified it with TRD muffler. I actually regret it later. It supposedly increased 3hp. The exhaust became quite loud. I’m not a street racer, but I get challenged by a lot of other cars because they heard my exhaust. They think there’s something under the hood. TRD did offer a turbo, but not for the MR2. TRD abandoned the MR2, at least in the States. Not much was offer for mods from TRD.
this guy can make a good thing seem bad lol I bet he's real fun at parties
I'm an auto enthusiast. I ride the bus.
somebody at toyota was looking at a 2013 ford focus when they designed that grille
I was VERY distracted by the fake headlights.. That's a new low in a world of fake everything
I mean, depending on weight, 35+ mpg and 170hp on 87 isn't bad tbh. That torque rating is awful, and it's definitely not fast, but it actually sounds like a decent little commuter. If they made a boosted model i could see it kinda sorta hitting the hot hatch market.
If you look up the word pedestrian in the dictionary it'll say see Toyota Corolla. It doesn't get anymore regular car than a Toyota Corolla. A solid reliable car with no soul.
I was surprised how small the interior space was for a hatch. I was excited when they came out but I find the Elantra GT N-LIne a much better car all around. This coming from a Corolla owner.
True, and then a lexus is 350 came along and destroys it cornering and acceleration
unfair sanic and then a Gallardo destroys the is. What’s your point?
Why is the like/dislike count turned off?
I bought a 2020 hatch XSE. It chirps 3rd. It’s faster than my Del sol GSR swap. 2022 is getting a $30k turbo with 250hp. I don’t want to spend 30k for a Toyota. I would have bought a Lexus 200t F if I had 30k to boot.
If CVTs replace the standard tc automatic "slushbox" transmissions (instead of them being replaced by double-clutch automatic transmissions), then maybe there will be more people wanting to drive a manual instead, considering these choices, because the CVT is the least reliable of all automatic transmission types. Unfortunately, here in Europe it looks like tc slushboxes are being replaced by DCTs, and therefore they take over the manual world as well (because objectively, they are better in almost every respect, except for the fun to drive).
They also make a turbo, AWD, manual Yaris. Just not for USDM...
1:30 Redline reference appreciated
Manual? That's not R E G U L A R
Donguk Shin manual used to be “standard” _[grumble grumble]_
Watching this while my jaw is wired shut, never before have i related to an RCR analogy harder...
Now review the toyota corona
Wish Toyota would bring the Corolla wagon to North America and do it up with the 2L/6iMT.
They're called corollas again now in the UK ! X which is much easier to say thank god
The "I want an organic gluten free kosher surger latte" type of car.
the Redline reference alone made me happy
Thank you for ripping into this dude; saying his mods are “tasteful” is obviously hiding what you really mean. The mods suck. The kid has pipe dreams of a performance car. The mods suck for a normal car like this. I hated the car this dude had, because of the mods and fake badging.
Just wait boys - the massive deals on great cars are coming in a few months. Dealerships are choking on cars and returned leases, rental companies are going bankrupt, people will be forced to sell thier toys to raise money. The question is - will anyone have the liquid cash or be able to get a loan to take advantage of them?
Took me a second to get that Genesis cover at the end :D well done, Roman!
Was not expecting the Redline reference.
E210 has a different meaning to me, being a firefighter who drives that fire engine. :)
Hey, I have a 2001 Ford Contour Sport with a V6. Its automatic, but I dont think you've reviewed it before.
Had a friend with a '97. She let me drive it a couple of times, the Duratec 25 is a sweetheart of an engine and the tranny shifted crisply. Cool car.
we dont care if you get side tracked! we enjoy ANY topic coming for RCR!
Mr. Regular, they DO make an enthusiasts car.....try a Subaru BRZ/ Toyota 86. You can try mine if you ever get to Illinois.
LOL! Now it sounds like it has an exhaust leak. I really didn't know people modified cars like this anymore.
If it was a 3 door and AWD it'd be the neatest new car. Can dream
"Want back to the spin on filter" THANK GOD
*Excellent song choice at the end. How many vehicles does that guy have?*
So, this explains that Mobil 1 0W-16 I saw at the parts store last month that made me think, "that's an oddly specific weight of oil..."
Also, that's a really strange bore / stroke ratio, surprised it revs as high as it does! Overall though, I think they're headed in a good direction with this generation Corolla.
Can we all just appreciate how good these Corollas look now? Especially compared to the previous generation. I still think E140 hatchbacks were really really good looking cars, but this is not far away from that
At least European models, US models still look bit weird
Awesome Redline reference, thank you for that
Its not a manuel for gearheads
Its a Manuel because the car is a European market car in the states
In europe a auto is alot more expensive to repair or replace
And in almost all mechanics almost struggle to fix one because they aren't use to a auto
"But do it, it's fun" ... Don't lie to me boy.
Painting 6MT on my Briggs. Worked for Honda and Toyota
The running sounded louder than the actual exhaust
I really love this. To bad idk how to drive manual.
It's honestly a lot easier than you think. You'll pick it up in less than an hour, and without damaging it. Just be gentle, use your head, and don't lose patience.
I would trade in my focus st immediately if this had a turbo
Haha, Como la flor by Selena in the intro. Nice.
I have the sedan version. All Incan say is it handles well and that's it. As for the infotainment system. You'll need an iPhone unless they finally updated it and now you can use Android auto and apple car play.
