Love the review! I really think Toyota should make a TRD version of the corolla hatch with around 220hp as a successor to the older sporty corolla hatchbacks
Kevin Praditra more like 250 ish horses so compete with the upcoming mark 8 gti
Like the Ae86? This one would already be close if it wasn’t fwd...
はる no, more like the Corolla RunX or T-Sport from the early 2000’s
Kevin Praditra if they did that, it would cost mid $20k’s to $30k’s. Who would really buy a Corolla for that much? Probably only Toyota fans, but not the usual car enthusiast
That'd be very cool
Wow that manual corrolla hatch seems pretty great. Good for new or mild car enthusiasts which I really hope we continue to see
Toyota definitely stepped their style game up this year. Nice.
Mike Greco Yeah it's a handsome thing, much like yourself...
SCM ;)
What an amazing review. I’ve watched a bunch of them for this car, and this one was by far the best. Awesome job man.
Really cool that you reviewed the manual and automatic! Great review overall, even though it's not a super fast sporty car it's perfectly reasonable for an affordable hatch
11:39 for manual
20:58 for CVT
Good looks bruh
you the man
Awesome man! We are not worthy.
90's Boiler Room I
Bless you
I can't wait to test drive one! This is probably one of the better looking modern cars I've seen lately and fortunately it has enough muscles to go with its good looks.
Hmm...quite impressed by their automatic system in this vehicle. Sounds pretty nice too when accelerating. Toyota definitely aren't known for making fast cars, but at least this one has adequate power. I dig it!
This Rolla is absolutely gorgeous, can't wait to replace my Matrix XR with this thing. Great stuff from Toyota as usual.
The funny thing is, this new Corollas interior looks better quality and better fit and finish than any car in Ford and Dodges lineup haha
Jason S eh, Ford interiors are really nice anymore, only way I could see this being better would be styling and that's subjective
americans dont worry too much about interiors as long as its good enough for them
Alex Barn I don’t know what makes you think Ford interiors are nice. They’re better, but still very cheap and low quality looking.
Jason S yeah cause ford and dodge are luxury brands...
Its_All_Kim neither is a corolla
this proves that small, low-budget cars can be desirable and not have to be bland shitboxes
Yeah it's great we're living in times where there's fun new cars available to buy at any price point.
when Bitcoin goes up, I will buy my first car haha
One of the best reviews of the car out there!
The best review for Toyota C-Hatch so far!!
That interior looks great wow so simple yet so elegant.
revans425 I think Apple had some input, esp the white interior lol
This looks like a cool little economy car. If we can get a GRMN version to compete with the GTI, I would eat that idea up.
What's GRMN?
Frenzy724 it stands for Gazoo Racing Masters of Nurburgring. It’s basically Toyota’s top tier in their performance sub-brand GR.
Dawson Johannes its coming.....😉
Anyone notice Alex on Autos in the backround at 8:35? That's pretty funny!
As a long term corolla owner I love the design but hate the CVT. Will probably go with a Camry next. I really think they should make the 2 liter the base engine, drop the CVT and put the 8 speed auto from the Camry in it and keep the manual. Also for the S line up the hp even more to somewhere around 200 hp.
Toyota needs to make a GR version of this, for performance clout, but it HAS to kick ass. I'm interested in them making a new version of the FX16 corolla hatch that was high revving. Needs tablet display delete, VVTI-L (I know it has vvti, needs the lift for that high revving torque!), LSD, ITB's, intake and high flow exhaust and this thing in theory would rip
Rathanak Vlogs Would never happen these days, wouldn't pass emmisions. If anything you'd see something like a 1.6 turbo.
+William Stewart I just wish it was possible
I don't know why I being a fanboy of huge performance engines like this corolla so much, my family dailies like 3 corollas and they are stupid reliable and out of all bodies hatchbacks are just my favorites, I might just get me a manual of this, very nice little daily
I just bought a 2013 S because i love the look of that generation and how aggressive it looks. And of course right after i buy it, this was announced and I’m salty
Dolan Dank Front yes. Rear looks girly.
I kept wanting to grab that center screen and rip it off the dashboard! Ridiculously tall!
I can't wait for the GR Corolla hatchback. I really hope they impress! Watching this in August 2020.
I'm actually excited for this....coming from a 4cyl turbo DI, I am willing to trade power for reliability and still retain some sportiness...It's between the Mazda and this....
Great looking car inside and out. Love all the standard tech. Those seats look comfy. I just hope they don't jack up the price to hot hatch territory, 168hp is simply not enough to justify it.
PROS: seats, interior, info system, manual, exterior design; CONS: rear room, cargo space
dude..... that CVT in manual mode is actually impressive
i have a 2015 corolla sedan and that thing is lethargic
Bro you should totally get this car great fun and good for the family and you have to definitely go for the manual
That color of blue looks like the blue used on the $79.95 Earl Shrives paint shops back in the 70's
thanks Matt for driving the Manual and good review as always! What do you think about Ford eliminating their car line MATT since you are a Ford man now
Glad to see the Manual
Matt, you look so comfortable driving that car, makes me want to go for a drive.
Agree. Buying a car made in Japan is the deciding factor, I had ls400. Made in Japan . Best for its time. I have 1991 Toyota hilux and it's still runs perfect with 300 000 km. Made in Japan . Quality control is best. By far
Sounds promising! Pretty good review. Thanks!
8:35 dat homie Alex on Autos with his denim and tinted glasses - such a stud.
So much potential omg.
Also I missed not hearing your intro song :(
This is a really cool looking car. Considering buying one now they updated it.
This needs the new 4cyl in the Camry that outputs 195 HP.
Acuravigor47 if that happens no one will buy gt86 anymore
Gt 86 is rear wheel drive
Acuravigor47 203*
Looks like the perfect car for newbies. I'm gonna teach my gf how to drive manual with this car if I get it.
I love this car. Thanks for the great review Matt
I have a Prius C and it’s definitely copy and paste with this Corolla. On that note, I most definitely want one
So glad there's a manual option...though, probably not for much longer
Cars hideous who cares
Nah. Manual's are actually selling pretty well on sporty hot hatches. For many it makes up nearly 50% of sales. As long as it sells they will still make it.
Could prop drive it the rest of your life just changing oil sometimes.
Other countries have gotten corolla hatchbacks for years finally we get one now.
Great new model for sure. Very well rounded and fun to drive with a neat interior and stand out design. I hope they make a more powerful model
Toyota4Life lol they couldn’t even freakin give us the Yaris GRMN 😂😂😂😂
It’s so ugly it’s won’t last and age well!
Rain Santiago I kno that performance Yaris would be a great look for Toyota here in the states. It's a legit hit hatch. 201hp in a car that small.
yonda ila yeah let's see what the sales number have to say about that
they made 168 hp feel quick in a 2.0 naturally aspirated motor? Gotta love short ratio manual transmissions! Probly light to and if its under 3000lbs that 168hp is plenty .Amazing review as always!They should make a turbo version of this an XRS TRD version or some crazy shit it would have like 250hp and fly and compete with almost anything under 50k
letsrun it! a bit over 3000 pounds my good dude bro.
marc yea its sorta large maybe around 3300.Seems like a fun package non the less.
Make this compete with Sentra SR Turbo. Maybe a Corolla R Turboed or Rally tuned.
3,060 lbs to be exact. That's the weight of this corolla
I would definitely buy a GR version of this that competes with the GTI and like.
I'm just glad to see that Toyota is offering a manual.
They need to bring back the XRS. 👌
HerXiongHerby you mean frs? It's the Toyota 86
jgijoe Yes XRS the one with lift.
I still haven't figured out why but I'd much rather have mechanical gauges over a digital display any day
Another awesome review. Thus seemsije a great improvement to the previous Corolla, very nice, especially the CVT, and the sporty styling and how the wheels look spinning. And finally, decent power! The previous one always so we'll, but was an epic fail performance wise, considering the had an S model. I feel the HSE is a perfect stock Sport model, but could be enhanced with factory TRD upgrades, a high performance vehicle with those parts installed, or aftermarket. Being an Android user, it seemed another fail to not have Android Auto, and I expressed that in earlier review videos that along with the lack of previous power, and then, not giving theengine pwer ratings would like a lot of sales, and received lots of comments from Toyota fanboys saying it will still sell well. They didn't get it, because even though the previous model sold well despite much lower power compared to other brands, the lost potential sales can still total to teens of thousands. Even without Android Auto, I would seriously consider a CVT HSE, along with my favorites, the Honda Civic Sport Hatchback, or Si Sedan, and the Subaru Impreza Sport Hatchback CVT. The optional JBL 800 Watt stereo system is a lot more power than most other factory sound systems, especially for a compact car. Very well done, Toyota. I now have more Insight... Oh, wait... That's a Honda. Lol
168hp wow. and 40% thermal efficiency. significant
Gage cluster looks like it's out of a Cadillac. Cool
I think this looks really good. Hope to see a performance oriented version of this.
I love the look of the car but power still seems a bit low compared to most other sporty hatchbacks. With a price point of low 20s for the SE model and mid to high 20s for the XSE model, I cannot help but ask, why should I pick this over a GTI?
They definitely should make a more sport orientated of this. Maybe RWD if they can. Definity a good looking car
Wow . . . this is a huge improvement over my 2012 Corolla S. It’s almost a completely different car.
It would make a nice daily, but I'd mod the tips to be real when I bought it.
The best looking catfish since the 98-02 Camaro
With direct and port injection this will keep maintenence costs down by reducing the dreaded carbon build up issues that DI only engines seem to be plagued with.
I can't wait to see the aftermarket for these and what people plan to do with it.
Might have to test drive one, one day. Glad to know MT is still an option for me and many others in the near future. AT is a fall back option for now.
All it needs is factory roof rack mounts, and an AWD Turbo TRD version would be sick!
Always enjoy your informative reviews!
I really like the look of this just imagine a sport version with a 2.0 turbo
Corolla's have come such a long way. I have a 08 corolla S and god damn that thing rattles like a rock in a tin can. And every part of the car you touch is cheaper quality plastic than an xbox controller! And don't even get me started on the 120 horsepower...
Thot Slayer Get something better. Maybe a Lexus IS 350.
They just previewed photos of the new Corolla wagon for Europe. Toyota needs to know that we want it too. #SaveTheWagon
This car, in this blue color, looks really good, especially the front end which is usually the biggest downfall looks wise for hatches. Good job Toyota!
The manual was measured at 7.5 seconds to 60 by motortrend which for comparison is the same as my 200hp Acura TSX manual and on par with the Mazda 3. Definitely adequate for this type of car.
The rear bumper looks a little weird, but it really helps with the over all flow of the vehicle. I actually really think it looks cool, would be nice to see some power bump. On the other hand, this is one of those motors your children, and grand children drive as first cars.
Nice to see a sporty Toyota Corolla!
Definitely getting the Corolla XSE with the manual
Did u?
The car looks real good but Toyota in it’s conservative mindset has put the wrong motor in it, it needs the 8AR-FTS as an option and dump that CVT transmission. Then it will have the go to go along with it looks
Wonder if the screen is easy to dim. It looks like the new RAV4 is getting the same system.
I mean, if this does ever come to the asian market, it'll sell like hot cakes for sure. For sure. Imagine this thing lowered and with an inch up rims, and some light brakes mod, man it'll surely be an awesome starter car for teens!
Thing is how many teens can afford this is asian market. Not most of the developing countries (South East Asia, India, China, etc). Not Singapore either with sky high car prices. But agree with you, pretty budget car that I would get if I am based in say the US
chee here in the philippines teens can have this car..most....coz parents, especially the rich ones always pays for the car hahaha
chee erm I mean, in China u can easily afford one of these if these were built in China…
I was born in the United States, normal middle class parents and no way was I getting a new car as a starter car. That kinda thing is reserved for the rich kids. Basically no one in my school was getting a new car.
Sunny Lam have you seen car prices in shanghai?
Toyota still doesnt want Android users to drive their vehicles.
don't want to get blamed for any explosions
Ron Ulysses Swanson lol
@@xdunejunkiex that joke is old and never was true in the first place
TheGrayWolf81 I call it a classic, and yes it is true that’s why it’s a joke. Derp
Toyota is going to add android auto
As written by MANY others here, this car really would be best served to the public with at least 200hp if Toyota offers a sporty variation. They would be smart to offer that much power, as a minimum, and a LSD when someone is smart enough to purchase the car with the 6-speed. I know that market would be relatively small, but, it'd show us that Toyota is concerned about their image.
Great Review. Not bad looking car, but the grill is kinda ugly. I guess this could be a modern version of the Matrix. I see a lot of comments about the civic Hatch or the Mazda 3 Hatch, but no Golf comparison.
I really would love this.... just a 200hp and lower...black rims...bigger exhaust...done
Still got my corolla s 2012 and thinking about my car for this new ones
CAT MARIO get the 6 speed
Mr. Queasy true I don't like cvt, my 2012 has a regular automatic not a cvt
tempted to trade in my 2015 le for this in 6speed
Very good video... keep up the good work man .
This corolla is great. I wish they would make a normal automatic transmission version. The one that isn’t a CVT
I sure hope people buy these. Especially in manual!
It actually has a good sounding induction noise.
Why did they get rid of the cool spoiler? They ruined the rear end.
Fake exhausts are the absolute worst. What sort of person would actually like the idea of them?!
RedPanda non car people who like fancy chrome visuals lol. I will guarantee that a sales man will tell a non car person “check out these nice dual chrome tips!”
Order one without them. It's your money.
exhaust are real, just the tips are fake, not a deal breaker since a lot of cars havem’ now
David S Pretty sure those fake exhaust tips come standard with the car.
tinhinnh Obviously the exhaust is real, I said “exhaust” as a shorthand for the exhaust tips.
Thats a nice looking car when its rolling and that pause when you said you're in the cvt lol
Take a shot of sake everytime Matt says "in this segment"
What's up with those ridiculous leather/cloth seats? The seats would look so much more upscale if they were leather only
Manual if you live in a remote area with a lots of country lanes and open roads. Cvt best for city driving
Wow how funny is it one of the spots I visited in SF was literally one of the first shots in the intro, isn't Cali just beautiful.
It's acgua lly kinda nice..never thought I'd say that about a corolla
This would be the first Toyota I would consider in years, except that there is still no Android auto (yet)
If that shows up, I will check this car out.
Craig Chevalier get an iPhone dawg
Toyota needs to put in the car DVD player and chargers for the back passenger seats.
If I write positive comment here would it make influence on, not yet announced, car price? Good job toyota.
Great looking car and glad it has a manual option but the tablet display sticking out of the dash is awful.
Nice review! Definitely would consider buying. Could you do a review of the F56 Mini Cooper S? Would love that
Thanks! I'd like to, just haven't had an opportunity to review one yet. Hopefully someone offers one eventually.
The 2017 corolla weighs pretty darn close to a gt 86 weight, be interesting to see them lined up, be a sad day if the corolla was faster than toyotas sports car
made you smile that's all that matters:)
What should I buy? Corolla ZR 2018 with panoramic sunroof -OR- the new standard Corolla 2019?
man, the AE86 Trueno Sprinter is getting older and older. the back doesn't look that good in my opinion for the 2019 one, but it's alright.
A very impressive review of an impressive car. Get the manual.
Right Lane Hog Why? Toyota makes one of the best cvts in the industry. First cvt I believe with a actual geared first gear. Which is one complaint of cvts. Getting out from the stop to moving the car. It will be interesting to see the mpg once they come out with numbers.
David S, May I respectfully suggest that people constantly stuck in stop and go traffic should stick with Hybrids. Enthusiast drivers should support the production and development of manual transmissions by actually BUYING cars equipped with them.
Right Lane Hog Or a Miata. Lol
CVT sucks
Matt pleaseee review the civic hatch sport touring when you have the chance! I can't decide between the mazda3 gt and the civic hatch. Both are soooo similar
