Really need you to talk about the Honda grace hybrid an non hybrid
how do you compare this with the european ones which are made in UK? they only sell them with hybrid. do you recommend me to buy one?
Scotty you should try 2019 corolla Hatchback with a 6 speed manual transmission
Scotty, you are the working man's car guy compared to Jay Leno's Garage.
I will never own a Toyota since the gas pedals stuck and people died.
There is nothing boring when a Toyota or Honda can go 300k without the same mechanical drama as with other car makers. That in itself is a thrill.
@@shawnkemp6550😂
With the luck ive had with my Mazdas id feel comfortable putting Mazda in the 250-300k category with very little issues as well.
This car isnt boring
I just bought a used certified 2021 corolla hatch. I absolutely love this baby. Its incredibly quick, refined and sporty and practical AND reliable.
Because of the thumbnail, I thought for a moment uncle Scotty had gotten a Corolla GR. 😅
Are you mad ? Uncle Scotty is never buying new cars 😂
@@maximeanselot3007 I meant to review it. I mean, he got sent a TRX the other day. And he doesn't even like Dodge.🤷🏻♂️
Same here...I was like..holy crap he got a GR...I was so sad. =(
@@hamsterbrigade Hopefully one day!😉
FRRR, I was about to say, lmao
"There's a lot of stuff you actually don't need." Scotty's common sense goes beyond that of just cars.
It amazes me how common it is for people to have zero knowledge of what makes them happy and fulfilled, and when they're not they start blaming anyone and everything around them. The other recent Scotty video about the guy whose wife wanted him to sell their Corolla so they could get an audi (like their neighbors and friends) was great. He recommended the guy think about getting rid of the wife.
@@tysonkampbjj I'd get rid of that wife! Friend traded his Jetta in for an Audi, a year later he traded it back for a Jetta.
*cue Life of Illusion - Joe Walsh*
@@tysonkampbjj Yeah but sometimes we think we can't get the stuff we "need", so we resort to stuff that we "want". Something like love or family, some people are just too broken to even believe they can achieve that.
I thought this was common knowledge
My 1985 Corolla had the alternator in the same location.I finally had to change to alternator when the car was 30 years old and had 160,000 miles on it.Bought the car for $400 ,put a clutch in it,and had the cars rebuilt,and drove it for 9 trouble free years,and sold it for $500
Theyre worth few thousands now :(
@@RedXLilAznBoi yes if it’s the levin or trueno chassis and not the e80 but still cool that a car was well taken care of lasted that long with that low mileage
when a car is gutless and very basic, of course it will be reliable...
Got a 95 only trouble it gave me was my rear break caliber froze.
My Alternator in my 2006 Toyota Sienna lasted till 240,000 miles. Just changed it out this summer. Bought a new one from Toyota dealer for $242 here in Michigan. Higher Amp one was required and Auto zone did not carry that. How many American vehicles have an alternator last that long?
"if they are gigantic when they grow up. It's time for them to leave anyway" OMG Scotty 😂 you make my day 👏
Best line from grandpa Scotty 🤣🤣🤣 his giggle finishes me.
The hatchback manuals are way… wayyy… more fun than the automatic
In high populated cities they’re not… 😒😪
They don't make a conventional automatic unfortunately.
@@dragospahontu yeah I know but I was a valet at Toyota and they are still pretty fun
@@bryanbase1323 the manual is very good, definitely above average.
Manual is 150% more fun than the auto crap
OMG I totally agree! I grew up with a Toyota Tercel, 2 door. We drove from PA to Florida multiple times. It's why my current Toyota, which is a small 2014 Prius C, fits me perfect. People don't need big SUVs. I actually hate driving them, way too big, especially for parking in the city.
I had a 95 2 door, dropped the 1.3l turbo engine from the uk market's glanza v "tercel", and it was fun af, I still try to buy it back from the guy who bought it from me...
Lol you drive a prius
@@rippingdeath666 I know, the humor I get when I save hundreds each month on gas. I just laugh myself to sleep sometimes.
you say that until you get into an accident and wish you would of driven a larger car.
I love how Scotty is amazed by improvements over his 40yr old rolla
He seems so happy
I was gonna like but you are on 69
Normal people said: Fat
Scotty: Gigantic
got my 2019 back in late 2018 when they first started to roll out, and i’ve had zero issues since i got it. pushing close to 70k miles and its never had any major issues, i love that thing
Wow, already 70k?!? Well I’m pushing 60k on mine so it is not that far off haha
But 70k is nothing..
@@verynick it was 3 years old..70k isn't surprising..that's a little under 25k a year..my wife and I put about that on ours
I'd be more surprised if you had any issues at 70k.
I'm the happy owner of a 2020 corolla hatchback since 2020 and I like it very much!. This car is a keeper!
I just bought a 2022 Toyota Corolla XSE sedan. I wanted the hatchback but you can’t find one brand new (at least not a XSE), and the used ones are priced as much as a brand new XSE sedan. That one is absolutely, brilliantly GORGEOUS! I loved this video! I’m a subscriber!
Buying new is a waste of money..they're not made as well as they used be..and yu lose too much value when you take it off the lot . And they have too many computers
@@richsweeney1115- It was financially logical to buy a new car vs. a used car five months ago when I was in the market because used cars then actually cost more than a new car. A 2021 Toyota Corolla XSE hatchback with a little over 5k miles cost about $25,500 retail. After fees, it came to just under $28,000. My 2022 brand new Toyota Corolla XSE sedan cost about the same. I did months of research before buying a car, so I know I made a financially sound decision.
Dear Honda,
Please listen to Scotty and bring back the 2.4L naturally aspirated engine with multi-port fuel injection and manual transmission
First car: 2004 Honda Accord
Second car: 2006 Honda Accord
Both have 2.4 L and imma try and die driving a 2.4 litre Accord or 2 litre civic
They have one in the Honda HR-V , but I think it is limited release in N.A. but its a new staple in ASEAN
@@austintomkewitz7206
Accords are one immortal car.
In my 2016 accord sport I have the k series 2.4L NA engine but it’s the auto
I own a 2022 Corolla Hatchback, manual. Love it. I never thought I'd own a boring-olla but they actually made a fun one for once.
toyotas>hondas
Had a 2011 Matrix it was very reliable, got great gas mileage and lotsvof room. I also owned a 2005 Poniac Vibe which was a Matrix gift to Pontiac but 6" longer, it was the best car I've ever had.
Are the vibes really 6 inches longer? I didn’t know
@@verynick yes
My 1st car was a Toyota hatchback, the 1987 Corolla FX-16 GT-S to be exact. It was a great car. And it stood up to my abuse. extremely reliable. I ended up giving it to my brother. And he gave it to our other brother. We kept that car in the family for well over 20 years and 300k miles. I also picked up a 1991 Toyota Corolla GT-S from a friend in the early 2000's for cheap. That was a great car too!!
I picked one up myself a couple of months back. Mine's a stickshift, and it still gets 40+ MPG! It also has dual port and direct injection, which eases my mind on the deposits, though I make sure to give it a good Italian tune-up, every now and then, too!
How does it handle?
@@AliAamir24 It's a little squishy, but fun. It's not a racecar, and it doesn't pretend to be one, but it's a fun and reliable daily driver.
Is the Golf r or GTI better or more fun??
40mpg!?!? Wow!!
"Italian" tune up?
I had a silver 2019 hatchback with the 6 speed manual. It was basically impossible to stall from 1st because of the smart manual mode it had. Great little car!
Stall from first?
Hilarious
Do you know how to drive?
@@joeblack1052 Toyota is famous for bad first gear release....
@@theadvocate4698 hilarious
Drove Toyota manual transmissions for 18 years
Never had an issue
@@joeblack1052 I drove a vibe and a matrix gen2, both had the same "thing", the first sometime catch too fast or to slow, causing a stall or a chirp. I drove manual car for the last 31 years, the other car did not did that...i guess it had something to do with traction control and that model was really bad on TC....Wintertime was hard even with good tire...i now drive a rio and it his a beast with traction control and blizzak compared to my 2013 matrix.....
@@joeblack1052 nope
I have a Honda Civic hatchback with the manual and I’m very glad I got it when I did before the car inflation
Good choice, similar, a lot more room with the hatch. I had a Mazda 3 hatchback.
@@robertp7209 cool and i have the corolla hatch, sure has a lot of room with folded seats
got a deposit on a 2022 manual, being built at the end of the month, It's actually hatchback only for manuals now. Might be the last gen for normal manual civics
They stopped making the Matrix because it was a joint project with GM, with the GM version being the Pontiac Vibe. When Pontiac was closed down they continued to make the Vibe until the contract ended. Once they stopped making the Vibe Toyota decided to stop making the Matrix.
My parents '07 Vibe is the best 'GM' vehicle they ever (still) owned. 250k miles and counting.
they both were made at the NUMMI plant in California, so if one went the other had to as well. Neither were made in Japan.
They stopped making vibes after 2010 but they made matrixes through 2018
@@johncampolo2177if it's boring it must be practical & this CorollaHb isn't with is 23 cubic feet of max cargo compare to the double offered by the Matrix
@@adotintheshark4848 they even sent the Vibe back to japan rebadged the Voltz.
My first car was a 2007 Matrix XR.... even when *everything* started to fall apart on the car, it still ran like a clock, got good gas mileage and wasn't a headache to own. I miss it to this day
I once bought an old Toyota Sienna that looked like a piece of crap on the outside, but still runs and drives great. Still good A/C too.
I like this Corolla! It gets the same gas mileage as a Prius, but it looks really cool. It shows that efficient cars don’t need to look ugly!
Prius def gets more mileage
@@momocakino4633 Hybrid Corolla probably can do the same as Prius, but Skotty's Corolla is not hybrid.
@@momocakino4633 the Corolla hatchback can go all the way up to 60 mpg highway
The new prius is nice. But I wouldn't buy any new car
@@Fulmynato scotty doesn't have a corolla
It's nice but it's no 94 Celica. Close but NO Cigar.
just picked up a '19 Corolla hatch se with 49k miles for 20 a week ago. Love it! really impresssed with the pick up, gas mileage, and adaptive cruise control with land departure handling. Really practical and fun to drive! Adding the roof rack cross bars tonight!
Great review!!
That launch gear design for the CVT is actually pretty cool. Hopefully more car companies adopt this technology. Cough cough Subaru.
Cvts are trash
Why would you ever get a CVT to begin with
Agree. I'm waiting for Subaru to release a retro Impreza RS coupe. Yeah. That's gonna happen. Or even a WRX hot hatch.
Cus you (I) can make it from PA down the shore 350 mile round trip on 3/4 a tank. Cruise 75 at 2.3k rpm.
More so Nissan
Got myself a se corolla hatchback with the cvt trans in the flame blue color, 42 miles to the gallon and I can fit my 65 liter rucksack and 3 detachable fishing poles with tackle box. Couldn't be happier
We bought the XSE last November, and we have about 9,000 mi on it. But forget the CVT, we got the manual transmission. Overall, it gets around 31mpg. I wouldn't call it a "Hot" Hatch. It's more of a Lukewarm Hatch, instead.
Good a cvt would cost you more and break more
americans have become so poor they keep bying those cheap shitty asian cars lmao
I got the 6 speed XSE back Nov 2019 and I love the car. I do wish it had more power though. I might have to trade it in if they do make a GR verion of this car though.
Sounds like buyers remorse 😜
@@U7VK7VOVV7V the gr edition uses 3 cylinders with 270hp lol
I had a 2016 Scion iM 6 speed with 86k miles drove it brand new off the lot Loved that electric blue Rolla! It was so much fun driving that to IL- CA - CO - IL. Wish I had still had it, a unfortunate accident happened and now I got a 2010 Matrix 1.8 L w/ 5 speed... Life. Gotta be grateful for those manuals.
I traded my 2018 Tacoma 4x4 for a 2021 Corolla HB Nightshade Edition. Absolutely zero regrets and the HB models ARE MADE IN JAPAN 🇯🇵!!!!!
Me too. I also traded my tacoma for a nightshade yesterday
I just ordered a 2022 corolla hatchback 6 speed manual today and trading in my 2010 challenger rt 6 manual. Figured our 03 corolla has made it to 240k miles with no issues time to give this one a chance
I was going to special order a 2022/2023 Challenger Scatpack R/T 392 WIDEBODY from the factory but I heard Dodge 5.7 and 6.4 V8 engines have the "HEMI TICK" early valve lifter failures with MDS issues on the automatic transmission equipped Challengers running in ECO MODE on 4 cylinders. Also lots of class action law suits on these issues with Dodge not acknowledging these problems from 2009 to current new Challenger.
Are the above issues the reasons you are selling your Challenger V8 5.7 or 6.4 for a Toyota Corolla?🤔
Or are you having reliability issues or high maintenance issues on your V8 Challenger?
I just got a 2022 C-HR with the launch gear and I can say I am impressed with it, especially in Sport mode. It gets me up to 40-45 fast before the CVT begins to take over and the economy picks up.
Got mine 2 years ago in the top level trim. Love it and it handles incredibly well for what it is - TNGA all the way 😎
I used to have a hatchback and a scion xb but traded it in for a new RAV4 and man I must say I miss the hatchback, but the rav fits our need more 🙂 both great cars
Toyota Corollas are the best cars out there. I’ve owned a 2006, 2014 and currently own a 2018 model year. I’ve never had a problem. I can trust they will start when I turn the Ignition and will take me from point A to point B for years without any problems. That is why Corolla is the best selling car in the world.
The Honda Civic and Honda fit are just as reliable
I own a 1988 Toyota Corolla fx (hatchback) 1.6 liter with a 5 speed manual trans. Slow as all hell but ridiculous reliability! I’ve driven it on a 7 hour trip across California and over the grapevine to San Diego.
Got my 2022 Toyota Corolla XSE hatchback in blue flame on Friday. Love it already, great on gas milage and looks sporty for a daily driver.
Cvt or 6 spd. Manual?
@@microminiskirt CVT, didn't want a manual for a daily driver. Gets annoying in traffic.
@@Hschlick84 But isn't as fun as driving a manual on curvy roads. You learn to use the gearing instead of the brakes in traffic (at least that's what I do and brakes last longer in manual than automatic transmission. In manual you can stay in lower gears. CVT transmission won't last as long.
Scotty found his dream car...again and again.
New cars arenot a dream car
I like the Corolla hatchback. Only thing is, I wish it got better reviews for rear seat comfort.
You drive up front and not at the back, so why would you even care?
@@robertangeles9537 SAME
I don't like passengers :)
I have the 2017 Corolla IM and I love it. 36,000 trouble free miles so far. I am worried about the CVT’s longevity though.
Costly to rebuild, I paid 1200 to get a trans guy to rebuild a Honda Accord auto. All labor included. Lasted 8 yrs.
Drain and fill that transmission fluid every 35-50k and you’ll be fine
@@robertp7209 A cvt must be thrown away and replaced completely, not a conventional auto like yours
@@martinmartin5904 👍 Didn’t know that. Perhaps that’s why Mercedes and BMW stayed with 8 or 9 sp conventional autos.
I own a Toyota Corolla 2020 SE. MANUAL TRANSMISSION! 6 speed 🤙😎 can't go wrong with a good ol MT. Still happy with it with 12k.
Can’t wait for Scotty to give his thoughts on the 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback
Test drove a Corolla hatchback. The hatch with the seats up is TINY. Part of the reason I bought a ‘22civic hatchback. That one in comparison is huge. The Corolla hatch would barely hold one piece of luggage. Good car otherwise I’m sure but way too small for me.
That sucks, it should have been at least as big as the iM hatch before this latest one…
Had planned for this my next car purchase. Life intervened. Getting a Tacoma instead. But would love one of these in the manual. All the reviews have said the car will actually help you along the way while you are learning to drive a stick. Rev matching and such
Thanks again Scotty! I got my son 2022 Toyota Corolla hatchback! His first car! Thanks for honesty!
God scotty, what will we do when you're gone🥺you truly are a gem
a suv is basically a station wagon. same with a hatch.
a nice station wagon with all of that extra room, protection, a real bumper,
some ground clearance, with a manual and less unnecessary electronic crap would be great.
So an old Volvo 🤔
I had an 03 Pontiac Vibe and was best car I have ever owned. I drove the the Scion IM (predecessor to new Corolla hatchback). It was great on highway but drove like a truck on rough New England roads. Plus interior was smaller with less headroom.
Have you considered doing stand up?
Imagine the day Scotty opens the trunk & finds something or someome lol
the trunk of this CorollaHb isn't big enough
@@martinmartin5904 how would u know 😳
Thank you, Scotty! How did you know that I was waiting for you to make a video of the Corolla hatchback? After watching most of your videos, I have decided on it to be my next car.
Just purchased a 2019 Corolla Hatchback.For me it's just like a sports car.Make sure it is Made in Japan.Think all the manuals are but juat to be sure.Good luck.
I have learned so much from watching this channel. Thank you, Scotty! 😊
That's a good looking toyota but I'm gonna find it hard to separate myself from my 2012 camry se-v6 with dual exhaust and a sunroof. She's my Silverhawk and i love her everyday. I'm literally outside on a beautiful day in texas cleaning her inside and out. She's so perty.🥰
My daughter wants one in the worst way. I said good choice.
i got one for 21k in late 2018. going on 3 years with 15k miles, no problems except recall on the transmission which they replaced under warranty free of charge of course
You're right about the tiny engines, Scotty. The irony is the 3-cylinders that they were introducing during my last few months at a GM dealer actually get WORSE gas mileage because they don't have enough power off the line.
The cars that GM is putting these little engines into are just too heavy for these engines to pull around. They lack power and get poor fuel economy.
I once had the 2017 Kia Soul+ and I was surprised on how small those 4-cylinder GDI engines were. Long story short, I sold it and eventually got a used 2010 Toyota Prius. Not as cool-looking as the Soul, but no regrets whatsoever.
I’m 25, born in 97. I really think the 23 corolla will be my first new car ever. Scotty has made me come to that realization. Before encountering him I wanted a new focus.. he’s educated me more than anyone. My dad is a ford man and I just don’t know why.
Sameeeee me too! I’ve always wanted a hatchback 😍
I've nevrhad an issue with my fords..I've had alot of them...my family has..my friends have..never a major issue with them.even well over 200k miles. And why buy new? You lose a lot of value as soon as you bring it off the lot.and , they don't have great quality like they used to...and Hondas are just as good, and even scotty hassaid ,honda makes the best motors in the world.your dad IA probably a Ford guy because he hasn't had many issues.....
Ford trucks are fairly good buys, especially the ford rangers.
Their cars are less reliable. And they dont make them anymore. I was going to try to get a late model ST or RS, but i just picked up a corolla hatchback XSE instead lmao
Buy the Toyota - not the Focus. I could defend this, but just trust me. I am 75 and have been buying cars since 1968. My 2006 Toyota Matrix (Corolla under the hood) is hands down the best car I have ever owned, and I am still driving it after almost 18 years. Focuses are not known for durability.
Jesus lord you are so funny. Such energy, you really bring a little sunshine into the world.
Wish you all the best Scotty.
I wish they made this in AWD, it's required living in Canada. I miss my Toyota Matrix!
That may be coming soon, they made GR Yaris AWD (Yaris is like a smaller corolla)
@@joiion913 oh I didn't know that. It just seems silly to make this awesome matrix looking car and now give AWD option..
absolutely not necessary, 4 good snow tires do the job. I drove all winter long north of Ottawa with ''only'' fwd
Front wheel drive with snow tires should get you by
Awd is overrated. Tires are underrated
As a Toyota Corolla Lover.
She's a beauty
I totally agree with your comments, we have a Toyota corolla hatch and love it, beautiful to drive very comfortable.
LOVE YOU SCOTTY, ALWAYS LOVE SEEING YOUR UPLOAD NOTIFICATION 😅😅
I lovvee my 2023 hatchback xse, I’ve heard some interesting reviews on it but it’s a fun drive for me and I get compliments all the time. She’s definitely got some pick up, really smooth, a little loud on the Highway but other than a missing sun roof I have zero complaints. Also I was able to fit a mid sized tv stand in my trunk/car with the seats down.
Scotty, I went and looked at the HB and thought "this looks like something an old maid school teacher would drive", then I hear it's a CVT with a manual option (thank God). One thing I like about Hyundai is their avant-garde styling.
@@allentoyokawa9068 Agree totally! But some cars were nicely styled.
Wtf are you talking about
..anyone with sense can see this gas style
@@richsweeney1115 It's OK Richie, it's only a car coupled with the ravings of a crusty old 75 yr old that bought a 2008 Mustang Shelby SVT Convertible right off of Cypress Motors showroom floor and paid cash. I'm sorry if your sense of 'style' has been offended, but at my age, one has trouble keeping up with current trends! Please, do forgive the failings of one who lives in the back-of-beyond Saskatchewan. Now to me, that was 'style' but what does a crusty old bastard like me know, eh?
There is a huge difference between the Need and the Want. Everybody's neighbour has an SUV so they have to have one as well, gotta keep up with the Jones'. Meanwhile they could get around in any car.
Car buying is very irrational. If it wasn't we wouldn't have sedans, luxury cars, and sports cars.
We might all be driving stuff like the Scion xB as that body style is very practical and spacious in the inside.
Why do you think kei cars are shaped like that? Most practical body style.
Sedans cant compete with a hatch or wagon really unless they got a giant trunk.
@@baronvonjo1929 Very good points.
this is the top car on my list since im in the market! i will get the manual version though
Look at the Honda, unless you are stuck on Toyota. And the Mazda 3.
I think you can't go wrong with this one! This was on my list too but I decided not to get another vehicle. The only other hatch you can get is probably the Civic but this Corolla is much smaller than the Civic.
@@johncampolo2177 $$$
I just got one of these in a 6 Speed and I feel like these cars (HB SE and XSE) are HIGHLY overlooked for a fun DD. I'm coming from a tuned Mk7 Golf R and a Kia Stinger GT2 and this thing is still plenty of fun to me. The iMT stuff in this really makes daily driving a stick shift a dream and you even get adaptive cruise. Rev hang is minimal stock as well. Also another interesting thing to mention is that the 2L in this uses the 4-DS system which has both Direct Injection and Common fuel injection so your valves stay clean. I cannot recommend one of these enough. Yes it's a little slow, but driving a slow car is fun, and 170HP isn't a slouch either in a manual you can control the rev range on.
I went to test drive one when these came out. I left without even test driving one because it was so cramped. Ended up buying a Honda Fit.
The old Matrix is waaaaay more useful.
You should has get Mazda 3 hatch
I have a 2010 matrix and it won’t die. I will be getting the Corolla hatchback in 2022. I like the reliability and low maintenance
I’ve been thinking about getting that next instead of a GR86. Things are so expensive now, minimalism is looking good.
Same boat. Aiming for a GR86 tho!
A new gr corolla has been all but confirmed. Awd 3 cylinder turbo charged engine corolla hatch that is.
@@CancelledMcCree that's what I'm getting, but It'll be late next before I try and buy one.
I wanna see Scotty when he gets his dynamic hands on the new GR Corolla!
if it was a GR Matrix it would have 10 more horsepower than the GR Corolla
@@murdechoc 🤣
Good afternoon, Scotty! The comments starting at 4:30 made me laugh. The things we "need" now-a-days.

Friend of mine bought a Corolla sedan with that 2.0 engine. It's a pretty powerful engine. Can tell a difference form my 1.8 especially 0-40 mph.
That’s a special edition. I have number 36 of 1500
I've owned a 1975 FJ40 and 12006 Prius, and happy with both!
I've owned a number of cars over the years, but my favorite by far was my 2005 Matrix. It's the car by which I judge all other cars. Sadly, it was totalled in an accident. I love my 2022 Kia Niro, but I would have gladly bought a Corolla hatchback if they came as hybrids. I just don't trust Kia for longterm reliability.
Greetings from Germany. Got a 21' 2.0 wagon. Totally happy so far.
Haha, very entertaining. I might need one of these. When everything goes to crap, I could always deliver food for Uber eats or pizza places with a Corolla. :D Unfortunately the Toyota dealers tell me they have so many preorders that they have no ETA's on them as they're months out, and Toyota has closed ordering, so I can't even put in an order for one. :(
My wife works a part time job for grub hub at night, she has an 09 Honda fit sport 5 spd, 194k miles , hasn't needed anything but maintenance, and tie rod ends and stabilizer links, but that's bc our roads suck, and I replace those at like 186k miles. Even has the original clutch
Try carvana
I LOVE my Matrix!! 230k and driving to Florida 10 hours this week...
Not to mention they look really good…
and we are hopefully gonna get the GR Corolla AWD with a 6-speed 😏
I bought a 2021 toyota corlla from new .no problems nice drive
CVT transmission or 6spd manual transmission?
i have a nissan versa hatchback
and it has a horrible transmission issue😭
i have nissan versa note with 450 k miles no problems with cvt
Its a Nissan….
@@mattmekhaeil changed cvt fluid every 30k,never floor when take off,a friend of my have a 2005 Ford 500 ,with Jatco CVT,still going strong with over 298k miles,any auto transmission won't last,if people drive them like maniac
I had on of those 1500, And I totalled it Bought a 2022 corolla xse in a manual thing is sick!
Matrix had significantly more headroom than the same-year Corolla. It was visibly taller than the Corolla. This gave them a more upright seating position and better ingress/egress, and made them much easier to live with.
This new hatch does not appear to have much, if any, additional headroom.
As a former 1st Gen Matrix owner, and a current Corolla HB owner, I can concur. It’s smaller. Less leg room. Smaller trunk, and lower seating position. Definitely not a crossover. On the other hand, it’s far more fuel efficient and out accelerates even the first Gen Matrix XRS. Handles great. Stiffer chassis. But definitely a smaller non-crossover hatchback.
I've owned an '07 Corolla LE, a '17 Corolla iM (formerly Scion), and now a '20 Corolla HB XSE. The '07 had the most rear room, but the iM and the HB have the versatility of a hatch. The iM seemed smaller from the driver's seat than the new HB, but had more rear seat room. There is a huge difference in power, too. The '07 and '17 Corolla had a 1.8L, but the new models get a very responsive 2.0L. Getting out of the new HB rear set as a 6'2" adult is not fun, but my kids are grown and this wasn't a deciding factor for me. Honestly, if they sold the Corolla Touring (wagon) in the US, I would have probably purchased one for the extra cargo space over the HB.
they stopped making Matrixes due to low sales. If people only knew - I lucked out back then although I did research the heck out of it because I was so nervous about buying my first new car. My 2004 Matrix is still my one and only. Then my mom bought a 2006 one which is still in the family - it is my brother’s work car :)
That and the Vibe can't be beat
Scotty should really do an entire series about him traveling across the country with his family in a corolla.
my sister just got a 2020 corolla. that thing rides like a dream. it will probably last until his children graduate college
Having been a matrix owner I have to slightly disagree with you the matrix was better than the Corolla I am in the Corolla hatchback that they have at now because it came with all wheel drive a really good manual version the suspension was awesome the drive train was amazing and it was bigger way bigger. I'm glad that they have something to challenge the Volkswagen r but I really miss the ruggedness of the Toyota Matrix.
Same here, would love an awd manual matrix brand new....The cross could have had a manual transmission....but i'm not gonna wait for toyota on that....
My dads 08 Honda Fit with the 1.5 liter stills going strong at 658,000 miles. Smaller engines can last.
Wow is that a manual tranny ??
Nice car nice colour. And the reliability is legendary on Toyota's/Lexus.
And Honda
.
The corrolla never went away, its been made since day one and sold as the Corolla as well. In nz we have always had it and in australia
Dear Scotty:
If I ever give up my 2017 prius which has given me zero problems (a patch on a tire 2 months after I bought it, and a new tire last week) I solemnly swear I will look at a Toyota corolla matrix hatchback. But not in red.
Red is best color. 03 Matrix XR best matrix.
I have a 2012 Camry that was given to me.. I love that car the more it ages. It’s a typical Toyota .. people ask me why I don’t get a new car since I started making a little extra money. The answer is Because it works and I’m honestly curious to see how long it will live now cx
Lol! You keep tell the truth! I hope you're watching your 6 because I'm sure you're having a affect on a lot of crappy auto sales companies 👍🏻Good job!
Owner of a 2010 Pontiac Vibe, which is a Toyota Matrix in American sheet metal. One of the best cars I’ve ever owned. 155,000 miles and still runs well. Engine is still OEM and the transmission. Not bad for an 11 year old car.
You have no miles....that's nothing...
I don’t get the idea of people saying manual is more fun. I’m on my first ever auto and I love it, wish I’d got one sooner.
Even racing drivers using auto’s with paddle shift.
Some cars are to fast to have a manual. It really all depends
In a manual transmission car, you drive the car; in an auto transmission car, the car drives you.
My last car was a 2005 Pontiac Vibe..Basically a Toyotiac? 5spd manual... I loved that car.. rear seats folded flat.. high ceiling.. could fit a full size appliance washer/dryer/stove in the back Moved on to a Subaru Forester.. ok...but I could fit more in the Vibe.
Really digging that Corolla Hatch, I wonder if the manuel version is actually fun to drive?
I have one and it's pretty fun. Not crazy powerful or anything...it's a Toyota haha and if you're a rough shifter it has an "intelligent manual transmission" buttong that helps with Rev matching etc. Overall awesome car and probably never be stolen haha and it'll last longer than the cv from I'm hearing.
@@johnduke5467 how’s the handling? I have a 2011 Camry with the v6 and it’s deceptively quick but feels like a boat, and I have a Ford Focus with 160 hp and it can pretty much handle any turn I throw at it no problem
It is. It's also very friendly if you're new or rusty at manual
@@msinna6433 handles rock solid. Hell steering in it feels as tight as it does on a Van Hool motorcoach
I find it fun, I have a sports car that I use on weekends and the like, but the hatchback is nice too. Don't expect it to be super tight, of course, it's no race car. There's also a GR version coming soon, so maybe keep eye on that one, if you want something more sporty.
Corolla Hatchbacks are MADE IN JAPAN 🇯🇵! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
