Grass on the new car, great choice on the XSE. I was on the fence between Civic hatchback and Corolla Hatchback. Ended up with Civic but every time i see one, i still admire this Corolla hatchback design.
I was also between these two. Main deciding factors for me: 1. Virginia Honda dealers had massive markups (3-5k) 2. Couldn’t get the higher trims with the 2.0L 4.cyl (non-turbo) 3. Overall NVH (Noise/Vibration/harshness)
Camry has quite a bit more back seat space. So if you carry 4 full sized adults a lot you made the right choice. Plus AWD (I believe the GR Corolla is the only hatchback that offers AWD from Toyota).
@@yotarolla5292 I had a chance for AWD but I am not on the AWD bandwagon, especially where I live. So 194hp on the "base" model and the little extra motor for the AWD adds 2HP that only connects at 25mph or lower. The curb weight is 55lbs heavier for the AWD and the torque remains equal. The hatch is 161hp and 151 torque and 3060lbs…the Prius is 3164lbs. So for me the hatch performance should be just fine…..in fact both cars are really well suited to common sense driving. All that aside, as sexy as the curves are on the Prius I still am drawn to the hatch. Got the hatch envy going on!
Looks great man. This appeals to me since it has no sunroof! sunroofs kill headroom for me in many cars, limiting my options substantially when wer're talking sedans and hatches.
I just got a 2025 hatchback xse 3 days ago. Got the midnight black edition and this shit is beautiful and fun to drive. Would reccomend if you can get a good deal on it
I’m lemoning my 24 sedan after 24k miles and 8 months. Rod knock and 2 bad transmissions. Once that mess is over it’s straight to an xse hatch with the wing, rack and white leather
The dealer I bought from already had $1600 worth of add-ons(roof rack, rear wing, weather mats and some other goodies) they then applied a $1500 discount when I went to purchase. So I ended up getting it at MSRP OTD was 29.5K I believe. Not including the technology warranty. Toyota was able to give 60months @4.75% this was at Checkered Flag Toyota in Virginia Beach, VA
u just made want to get this more than the new note
I love this car so far. Comfortable, affordable, efficient, and reliable can't ask for much more.

I got a 2020 Camry se awd. Beautiful car and nothing wrong with it but something about this hatchback man makes me wish I held off my purchase.

I’m boutta get this car this week hopefully 😀
Man, got a new Prius XLE in Reservoir Blue coming in. Getting out of my GTI, but this really has me rethinking. Love the hatch….congrats and be safe!
Thanks! That Prius should be quite a bit quicker than this Corolla, better MPG, and AWD no?

What a beautiful car! Great choice. Did I see correctly? Does it have front parking sensors?

I just bought one! the same !!! XSE
Congrats! Hope you enjoy as much as I have so far

Why cant they make the sedan look this good
love my 22, not fast but is a great drive
Beautiful car!!!!
Acura Integra I think is a better choice and you can get them cheap slightly used
Used is always a gamble, but I do love the liftback on the integra's. Huge back seat too.

You had all that happen to a new 2024 Corolla sedan? Did the dealer techs tell you what happened?
@@yotarolla5292 it’s still in the shop 10 weeks later with no answer
@@alexross367 Hybrid or no? Either way that's wild... you have to keep us updated.
24k miles is a shitload for only 8 months but still shocked to see you had these issues. How does the lemon law work?
@@yotarolla5292 not a hybrid just a regular se
Congrats! Looks sleek! Did you have any luck negotiating a discount and if so, how much did you pay for it?
