Love Sarah's car reviews for the jokes, references, weird comments, and even the info. Also love to see how she color coordinates her outfit to match the car being reviewed.
Corolla Crosstrak, your insights into the automotive industry never ceases to amaze. You definitely are the first and only one to really test the awd capabilities of this rig. Your post production has become so amazing, so professional. The attention and effort you put into your videos really stands out.
Great content as always. Extra weight welded to the exhaust is probably a last minute addition for changing the natural frequency of the exhaust structure itself for eliminating some unwanted low frequency resonance or vibration
Sarah is such a rebel. While everyone else is releasing Tacoma videos, she drops a Corolla Cross review. 😎😎 Seriously, I'm really looking forward to the new Taco with the hybrid, but I follow enough car channels that I got absolutely sick of seeing it this week. 🙄🙄
Toyota all-track (aka Sprinter Carib). Still have one. 240,000 km's. It is my wife's daily driver. No mods and original everything (except I replaced the distributor cap and leads a while back) including original first aid kit. Just well maintained. A real mechanical 4x4 with center diff lock and no electronic trickedy-wickedy to go wrong. More reliable than a brick.
Yes, I always carry paper maps. It's a lot easier to see the overall area on a large paper map than on a 5 or 6 in screen, even with scrolling. Much of that is probably due to being born in 1954 so I used paper maps long before GPS system were even thought of. Paper maps have their place along side computerized GPS and Mapping systems.
Fun review and love the exterior camera placements on the hill climb and gravel test. And as usual, the color coordination of outfit to paint color is a Sarah review trademark. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
Another great review Sarah! After watching you, I can’t even watch other people’s reviews. As always, your review was informative, quirky, unique, funny and beautiful. Thank you for everything.
I have the original 1988 Corolla Alltrac wagon with 300,000kms and original radiator and clutch. The thing won't die. The hybrid Corolla Cross has a few issues. Lack of space for a spare tyre. Lack of any diff lock like the Alltrac. The completely black interior (in Australia there is no light interior option) a PHEV option would be nice. I do like the solid, honest materials that will age well.
@@zwieseler I've seen that but whats annoying is the hybrid AWD has the spare wheel well but with the cable for the electric rear motor sitting right in the way of making the space usable.
Love the music, graphics and the overall presentation and comments of your video review. Polished and professional while being fun and informative. Like Toyota, your video work is an evolution of constant improvement becoming nearly pure perfection. Final score : 10 out of 10 penguins!!
I had an '88 all trac Celica that got us thru a snow storm on 80 heading over Donner's Pass, I had no idea what I was doing(18 yo at the time). Pretty fun tearing around the snow-covered streets of Sparks, too!
Sarah, your videos are so enjoyable the only ones I click on as soon as they pop up.. you’re awesome 💙I value your dedication and you truly are amazing. Keep up the exceptional work!
This video is the FIRST review of my next vehicle that made me laugh so much as Sarah describes the specs with such glorious technobabble (some of which I almost understood). Either way, I WANT THIS CROSSOVER!! Another RUclipsr called this the Crosstrek Hybrid, which sounds great, as I trust Toyota more than Subaru (I used to drive Subarus in the 1990's). I will be doing 100% of my driving on asphalt roads, so no dirt or gravel roads for me. But glad to see you test that, as it's not your fault the CC wasn't built for that. As they say, "it's not my fault, it's the asphalt". LOL
Great video. Sarah puts in the technical stuff you don’t see on other reviews. I like to know these things. Even the manufacturers don’t tell/show these things.
I do! I carry a map! Out west you can't count on cell phone data. Also more effective for figuring out which town is at the edge of your fuel range, to minimize stops. Also understanding the relative locations of many things really helps the coarse stages of travel planning in a destination-rich environment.
I bought one yesterday. 3k off MSRP 2023 though. You should check out what they did in the spare tire well. Its a abomination to spare tire lovers everywhere. LOL.
We still carry maps with us since we spend so much time away from cell service in the wilderness. Plus maps give you a better big picture look at an area and its roads.
First reviewer who actually put the Corolla Cross through its paces without pulling any punches. All the honest, useful info for a potential buyer. Best review for this vehicle thus far
Hello Im one of those people on the internet watching car videos. Your reviews are informative and comprehensive. Could you grab an F150 regular cab with the 5.0 and run it through its paces? You are the only one that actually puts it on a lift to inspect the undercarriage and I love that! thanks and keep up the excellent work! (NH person)
Ok, just into this review and I am totally impressed with how much time you have spent on each of the components thus far. This on demand awd electric motor with regenerative capabilities is quite interesting.
I have a 2020 Rav4 Hybrid XSE with 450,000 and yes its amazing and very reliable. I post updates on Reddit. I'm so glad Sarah loves Toyota. She should buy them all lol
i have a CC with 2.0 gas engine non hybrid. I use extreme driving style (hyper milling and cruise around 80 km/h) to extract the best mileage. So far my best try was 4.167L/100km, which is about 56 MPG. My overall MPG after 8000km of driving is 46.94.( 5.0L/100km) So the M20A FKS coupled with CVT is extremely efficient.
This was an eclectic review, you’re quite interesting! And I did like the views underneath the car; I have yet to see that part until I take mine for 1st maintenance. I didn’t buy one of these for off-roading. Gas mileage for sure. I’m about to see what it does this winter. I actually liked the driving in the rain. It felt safe, and cool when the rain hit the sunroof. The extras are worth it. Love the vehicle & come up with excuses to drive it.
Hey Sarah, it’s Justin. I watch your videos all the time and I like them there’s a big lifted truck market on RUclips. I like it when you do trucks I have a F150 I like it a lot my first four-wheel-drive vehicle ever looking forward to this winter in New England.
Wonderful numerical, technical, and most of all -- beautiful review Still love the words that spew forth from your technically wired RUclips brain. Still love your videos after all these years. You are the best.
Loved the review, not the vehicle. You can really see why Toyota never called this thing “All Trac”…Cos it not. Mechanical 4X4 system, better suspension and a good set of tyre, then you may have a successor, but then you will be paying 40K+. Would still give Sarah 10 for the Penguin score, great review.
Spiffy. A term we used at my first base back in 1966. I was in the Security Police at Malmstrom at Great Falls, Montana, working missiles at the LCFs. 4 on, 4 off.
Not just robots. And yes, I keep a road atlas in each of my vehicles. You never know when the robots will revolt (or an EMP, war, whatever) and GPS will stop working.
Your knowledge of JDM cars is always impressive, though I think after your review calling it an all trac would be a bit of a disappointment. New graphics are excellent 👌, hope this isn't adding significantly more hours to editing. ❤ Oh and yes I still carry a paper map.
❤ Yes, I have maps and an Atlas. A lot of places I work are in the middle of nowhere and phone gps wont work, haven’t had true GPS since my truck was broken into in 14.
Hey I still keep a paper map in all 3 of my vehicles because you never know when you might need one. And this Corolla thing kinda reminds me of the Early 80's toyota tercel sr5.
Happy Friday Sarah!!! That gravel pit is no joke, I crawled the JK through it a while back all slow in 2wd, made it through with throttle modulation to keep from spinning and digging a hole, it's deep.😁 Stay excellent!!😎
Sarah is amazing, great reviews, just the right amount of spice but can we just take a moment to have a full understanding of the fashion going on here, I mean the outfits. Always on point with the vehicle.
I drive through Wyoming each year in the winter. You never know when it will 100 before the next gas station or cell signal and the like to close road. I carry a physical of Wyoming when I make that trek.

Sarah knows her stuff.
His stuff
Great content as always.
Extra weight welded to the exhaust is probably a last minute addition for changing the natural frequency of the exhaust structure itself for eliminating some unwanted low frequency resonance or vibration
Rally Stage is becoming one of my favorite parts of these reviews - not gonna lie.
Have to say your presentation and editing are second to none, thanks for the content.

Seriously, I'm really looking forward to the new Taco with the hybrid, but I follow enough car channels that I got absolutely sick of seeing it this week. 🙄🙄
Taco? Huh? What’s that?
Yeah, I’m not a real journalist so I don’t care about getting a review out before anyone else. I’ll drive it when I drive it 🙂

Love the AllTrac shoutout. Had one - went 250K miles. You da bomb Sarah

Solid stealth Tommy Boy reference. Yet another reason to adore you. 👍😂
Sarah's channel wins the internet for the yellow pointer alone, how cute is that? ❤
My favorite car review channel! Great video pace, runtime, super comprehensive, and you get a sense of how the car feels
I look forward to my weekly shot of Sarah! Thee best reviews and spark filled vlogs.
The beauty of the plastic stitching is it will never come undone. A mind like no other reviewer.
You're right, I bought mine this week (my fourth Toyota hybrid) for the fuel mileage. Very happy so far.
I like how the All-Trac picture looks like it has a giddy Sarah in it. She would so do it as a giveaway car.
Sarah, your videos are so enjoyable the only ones I click on as soon as they pop up.. you’re awesome 💙I value your dedication and you truly are amazing. Keep up the exceptional work!
Appreciate the video. Very few reviewers put the car up on a lift, and we appreciate it.

I quite like the idea of electric motors to propel the vehicle but a proper gasoline power plant to remove range anxiety.
I love every video Sarah makes. She's so smart and funny too. Sending love from Des moines, Iowa❤❤❤❤
Great video. Sarah puts in the technical stuff you don’t see on other reviews. I like to know these things. Even the manufacturers don’t tell/show these things.
Still doing the BEST reviews! Thanks
Nice job. One of the best reviews I have seen for this vehicle, especially from the technical point of view.
Remember that lil' Tercel 4WD Wagon from the 1980s? I loved those things, still see a lot of them here in Colorado.
Yeah.. there's one rotting away in my parking lot here at the shop lol
SAVE IT!!!@@SarahnTuned

Yup. Just a repair kit. The non -hybrid has a real spare though.
I bought a Corolla Cross Hybrid over a month ago and it is a great car.

Great video as usual. Love the Tommy Boy reference! And being old, I still carry paper maps in my car.
You've really upgraded the quality on the edits and the overlaid graphics. Love the new additions!! Keep up the great work
I still keep a map in the boot (I’m English), but then I’m 63! I like looking where I’m going from time to time. Another great review though.
Excellent review! This vehicle is an excellent around town, light dirt roads, very well built to last.

SUPER SARAH YOU MATCH THE CAR YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS SWEET AND YOUR DESCRIPTIVE PERCERTION AND FILTERED COMMENTARY RULES
Sarah’s knowledge is unmatched.
I love the color of this new Corolla Cros❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great review. FYI: The engine model is M20A-FXS not FKS. K stands for the petrol only version. X is for hybrid. It's the same engine as the new Prius.
Nice Tommy Boy reference.
Just rewatched that the other night for the first time in years.
EV mode only up to 20 mph....??? Make it make sense. Thirty-five or forty would be more practical.
Spiffy. A term we used at my first base back in 1966. I was in the Security Police at Malmstrom at Great Falls, Montana, working missiles at the LCFs. 4 on, 4 off.
Yes, I carry a paper atlas. Sometimes I get a more detailed state map. I also like to have a Garmin GPS.
Looooove the new test track. Hope to see more of it. Love your channel!
There is actually a paper map in our car right now lol
In 2012 Toyota stopped making the Corolla Matrix and this looks like the replacement for that.
I love how you can identify materials just by smacking it with a rubber hand!
Not just robots. And yes, I keep a road atlas in each of my vehicles. You never know when the robots will revolt (or an EMP, war, whatever) and GPS will stop working.
The only channel that goes underneath the vehicle 👍
"I just made a robot horn somewhere". OMG such a classic Sarah out of the blue hilarious comment.! 😂
You look great dressed up Sarah.

Greetings Sara from Puerto Rico I really like your videos, they are very instructive
Your outfit is especially well-coordinated with the car color. A key feature seems to be the affordability of this vehicle.
Just wish they'd stop making EVERYTHING a crossover!!! Call it something else! 😄 and bonus Tommy Boy reference love it!!
Fun video and great attention to detail. The little things and humor put this in the same category as those Mr and Mr grumpy gooses.
10 10ths was an term of givin it the beans... till almost a hooligan. You did that in the gravel pit!
The ultimate all trac was the 90 Celica, those were sweet.
This is fact.
