@@MrChickenspit don't buy this for speed. It's straight up economy but honestly VERY fun to drive. Acceleration will be disappointing to most but you have to understand what you're buying. I came from a Challenger R/T Track Pack, so in comparison the acceleration is extremely disappointing.. but only if my mindset was to buy the Corolla for speed. I didn't. And because of this, it's honestly not bad. Just need to remember that this small engine loves and needs revs to get peppy. It's not a drag racer, so off the line it won't win any races, but once it's going, it'll be fun. My Corolla Hatchback is registered for the SCCA in the H-Street class. It won't be fast, but can and will be FUN (just give it revs). My only complaint, single complaint, is that the economy Japanese paint is thin. Looks beautiful, cleans nicely, but is thin. Rock chips will inevitably happen, as with any car, but the paint is noticeably thin on these. Clear bra/wrap it if you can, but it's a point to mention. Otherwise I can't complain. I LOVE this car as an economic daily driver that's still nimble and fun.
The toyota corolla actually feels like a compact hatchback. So many compacts have gotten so big for better or worse. If your looking for reliability and comfort with a dash of utility, this seems like a good option.
Nice review Joe! It is always said more fun to drive lower powered car at near max than driving higher powered car at lower intensity. Love that you look at ALL cars from economy to luxury.
You make the best car review videos. Test drove this today and I'm going to go with it. Going to have to keep watching your videos even though I'm not looking anymore.
Corolla hatchback seems a great value if you want a hatchback. One bummer is that to get this color, you get forced into the XSE Preffered package , which has a lot of worthless stuff you don't really need for a $2k upcharge.
You have my dream job, man. You review every car out there, and get payed to show it off to your fans like myself. You and Dougy D are my favorite youtubers
@@ariexjordan809 i love it! I don’t have much of a car standard seeing it as it’s my first car, but I believe it’s a great value. My lady loves the seat warmers lol
@@JulezWinnfield yes I do but I tell you what . Go ask any mechanic out there how reliable corolla are come back to comment section and tell me what they said ok 👌.
@@scaldon2 I don't doubt the Corollas reliability. I wanted to see if you can indeed post proof that it's the most reliable car in the history of automobiles, as you asserted. There have been thousands of car brands and models made worldwide since the early 1900's so that's a very bold statement to make without substantiated proof.
Man I would love to see a performance version of this car with a 2 tone panda paint job to throwback to the AE86 corolla! Such an amazing looking body style, if Toyota got some performance to match, this thing would be such a great sell
Nice review as always Joe. I like this car. If it had a turbo option say 220 hp and panoramic sunroof it would be the shizz, but still you get a lot with this car when you consider nice touches like wireless phone charger etc. Like the trend with sporty interior colors and two tone colors on body and roof. Still wish you’d consider quick night shot add of the leds and running lights. It’s becoming a bit of a look or statement in a lot of cars. Great job 👍
I would definitely recommend this car for anyone who needs a small eco car that'll run forever. Some don't like the CVT but it's smooth since it requires no true shifting although in Sport the car does fake shifts. Don't consider anything else except a non 1.5L Civic! Everything else breaks too soon and European cars will cost a fortune to fix when they break!
I saw the special edition at Clearwater Toyota. It looks really mean. But another thing that I will zonk is the arm rest. When someone puts a cup in the back. It gets caught on that lip and causes some splashes..
13:12 Major Zonk for the seats not folding into a flat cargo area. Understand they were trying to go for a deeper cargo area with the rear seats folded up but still, they could have at least put a 2 position cargo panel there to move up when the rear seats were folded down to make a flat cargo area. A flat cargo floor makes a big difference when hauling stuff like a flat screen T.V.
I’ve got a Honda Civic and yea this looks good and sounds like a fun daily driver but not feeling the white interior on this specific one.. seats gonna be super dirty really fast.
Another great review and the car is beautiful. The biggest zonk is the infotainment system. They put this huge looking tablet and it just looks out of place like an afterthought. At least on the Honda or blends in and is not blocking your view. Also the car looks fast but it really isn’t. Need more power period.
My friend that infotainment system was placed that way and it was done that way so that you won't take your eyes off the road, thats how easy it is. Im speaking from experience as i own the sedan version of this. Its way easier once you actually sit on the driver's seat then you will appreciate it and it does not even distract you with the driving. Honda has been going down the toilet with their quality, l was initially going to get one before I ended up with toyota corolla. Oil dilution is an issue with 1.5 litre and as for the 2.0 litre especially the LX it lacks some standard features that are found in all toyota trims and no lumbar support in civic as well.
Never liked the look of the ordinary hatchbacks. The name “hatchback” sounds low budget. Sportback or fastback sounds so much better. Otherwise this isn’t a bad looking car for the money. Excellent review as always 👍 I’m going to guess that you are rooting for Phil at this week’s MAJOR. 😀
I think Europeans would question that statement. I think the best selling body style in Europe is the hatchback. But it would be cool if manufacturers made traditional sedans like the Accord and Camry lift backs. I think what ever manufactures their midsize sedan like that or compact first will get a ton of press and it would bring some people back to the car market instead of getting a CUV. At least I think it would be a good idea. It's my job to say it would or not.
Really liking the overall colour combo. Inside, and out. Lol, am I TOO old school? Not a fan of infotainment systems. They seem to take away from the aesthetics designers were trying to achieve. Victor, great work, as usual!
Joe u have talked about twinkies so much that I finally broke down and got some and I forgot how good they were lol. I haven’t had them since I was a kid.
the only youtube channel where the ads are in the actual descriptors he uses while reviewing lmao. Very smart way of earning extra income, and keeping it funny. Still ads though, thats a ZONK
Love your reviews! Question: Is there a hatch release lever inside the car? This is a deal-breaker for me as I do a lot of "dump it in the trunk" shopping trips these days. Getting out to open the hatch every time...nope, not practical.
I never need an SUV for my whole life all I want is a hatchback, even better for a wagon. The Corolla hatchback is definitely the best car I can buy in the US. I rented a Corolla wagon in Japan from Toyota Rent-A-Car in 2020 and it's perfect! Not a fan of CVT but don't mind having one with Toyota.
It hurts to say this but I think I would go CVT after my last 3 manual trans cars. I do HATE the infotainment system sticking out of the dash. Just make them flush mounted....
You will like it up close once you get inside the vehicle... speaking from someone who owns one. The placement purpose is that you keep your eyes on the road.
Looks cool. The pricing is a bit high for what it is though. You can get a decently equipped Crosstrek with AWD for the same price, I live up north so with snow that's a major consideration. I wonder if they plan to make a hybrid version of the Corolla which looks this sporty, I actually might consider one. My ex wife had a new Corolla Sport around 2005 or so. It drove really well, better than my new Camry of the same year, it was one of her better choices. She followed that up with two Scions (XB and XA) that were some of the worst new cars I have ever driven.
Personally for the money (I’ve owned a 2020 Corolla Sedan and a 2020 Mazda 3) I’d pick the Mazda. Better power and interior. Handling for me is better in the Mazda but suspension bits are different so it’s up to your tastes
@@alvinsimba734 I had the Corolla SE (sedan) and no real complaints but the Mazda 3 is similarly priced and (in my opinion) everything is better in the Mazda. Of course, take it to a test drive as everyone has different tastes. I wished I had waited a little longer for the turbo but I have the Preferred AWD (regular 2.5L engine)
they are candy bars disguised as health food, as is any granola. the healthiest bars would be those with egg whites, dates, and nuts and even those are calorie dense because the water fiber content just isn't there compared to fresh low glycemic fruits and vegetables. i used to be a potbellied cow. i know nutrition very well. those nature valleys are trash.
@@RaitisRides it is not the going, it is the inability to go. Imagine this, you have the car parked somewhere aukward like over a sidewalk. Due to some trouble in the electric system, you need to disconnect the battery. With a manual parking brake, you could take the brake off and roll the car away in neutral. With the electronic brake, you can't do any of that.
I have been looking for a gently used vehicle. There aren't many corolla hatchback available. I did happen to see this one in a dealership about 45 minutes from my house. Think I might have to check it out.
The Corolla is a great option for people that want a cheap small car that can be able to carry different loads from all of the space that the infamous hatchback features.
Anyone complaining about Toyota's CVT (w/ first gear) needs to drive one to experience and comment back here. People who complain here have never driven one for sure haha
You are right it needs a sunroof and more tech and it should’ve had something in the back for people to charge their phones and to put the cherry on top it should have had a little bit over 200 hp
I feel like the back up camera is really low quality compared to sag my girlfriends Rav 4 or others I have seen. Camera is pretty blurry. I mean it works but be nice to see a crisper image.
Also Honda should give people a choice and not force people to get a turbo, if the v6 is not selling, fine cancel it but still give us the option for a non turbo model by keeping the 2.4L inline.
Paid 17K cash out the door for my 2017 Corolla SE. It was a loaner w/ 6K miles but still smelt new. The salesman made a mistake and got fired right after the sale.
Nah, he didn’t get fired. That’s just a story they tell ya to make you feel like you got a deal. No sale goes through without a manager looking at the details. None.
Hey Joe! Great review as always. Love the two tone style though. Btw can you do a review of the Toyota Yaris? If you can get a GR Yaris would be great and it does have a manual transmission! I wanna know your opinion on that one.
Nice car review Raiti very cool looking sporty car. Toyota Corollaa is gold!! If i remember bach in the old days very strong cars Toyota made and again its succesful👌
extra storage makes a drop off with seats down that ruins my plan for some open road and occasional overnight air mattress in back. also, your dead in the water with fix a flat on a destroyed tire.
I just wish they would add a panoroof, they are perfect for hatchbacks
Not good idea. Not worth it use panaroof Too heavy and lost lot fuel economy.
@@dmitryb1286 whelp the mini has it so Toyota should at least provide the option.

Bought one yesterday with the 6 speed. Exactly what I need for a daily driver while still being enjoyable to drive!
What are some good things and bad things with your corrolla? Hows the acceleration?
@@MrChickenspit don't buy this for speed. It's straight up economy but honestly VERY fun to drive. Acceleration will be disappointing to most but you have to understand what you're buying.

My only complaint, single complaint, is that the economy Japanese paint is thin. Looks beautiful, cleans nicely, but is thin. Rock chips will inevitably happen, as with any car, but the paint is noticeably thin on these. Clear bra/wrap it if you can, but it's a point to mention. Otherwise I can't complain.

Toyota really are making some great looking cars. Never thought I would say those words since Toyota styling has always been a yawn feast.
For 28K no connetivity in the back and no sunroof would possibly be a no sale for me, but like the color, great review as always..

Great review thank you!
Excellent review as always Joe! I would choose this Corolla over a Civic Si or VW Golf. Could you review a 2021 Chevrolet Spark?
@Jonathan Losito What do you mean?
What amazes me about all Toyota vehicles is the comfort of the seats.
My tacoma would like to say otherwise
I’ve got a Honda Civic and yea this looks good and sounds like a fun daily driver but not feeling the white interior on this specific one.. seats gonna be super dirty really fast.
Hey raiti hope you’re having a great day, just wanted to ask you when will you do a full walkthrough for the bronco sport badlands?

This hatchback seems pretty low to the ground! How much clearance is there? Would it be a problem with snow or worse, flooding, just curious.
There is about 5.1 inches of ground clearance
Love the hatchbacks!! Mazda 3 hatch or Corolla hatchback which would you go with?!
The throttle response gets you to 60 in less then 8 second. I'd say between 6.5 an 7 seconds.
The 6 speed can get to 60 at 7.5 the cvt is slower. Over 8 seconds
Joe, out of all the hot hatches you’ve tested. Which one would you buy?
Mazda 3

A major safety drawback with this car is that the emergency brake is electronic. If you set the brake and then lose power, you can't release it.
If you don't have power where are you going?

I 100% agree although it'll run way longer than comparable cars from GM, Ford, 1.5T Civics, and as specially European cars.
Just go one trim level lower. I paid just under $20,000 (not including my state's sales tax) for my 6-speed SE hatchback earlier this year.
I agree but this car will last you 10+ years. I'm still driving my 2005 Toyota Matrix with over 230k miles. My car drives great with minimal issues.

They should make the hatch an AWD
Now we are talking!
Why does the dashboard have to stick put so far?
You are right it needs a sunroof and more tech and it should’ve had something in the back for people to charge their phones and to put the cherry on top it should have had a little bit over 200 hp
We have those as estate/wagons in UK and they are plenty
I feel like the back up camera is really low quality compared to sag my girlfriends Rav 4 or others I have seen. Camera is pretty blurry. I mean it works but be nice to see a crisper image.
I liked the smurf blue color better. Put the GR Yaris motor in this with a manual.
Oh yeah!
Nice looking interior,
as always great review
Thanks my friend!
Europe got Toyota corolla hatchback hybrid, When are the states gonna get that version?
That is a great question.
Car looks great 👍 I'd definitely buy this as a first car 😆 the only downside for this car would be it has a CVT, but you get what you pay for 🤷♀️
Can get it with a 6 speed
The CVT is more expensive... this is a compact commuter.
Why toyotas doesn't use turbo in their engines like honda other than supra??
That is a the million dollar question.
Because I assume Toyota wants to go for longevity, reliability and easy maintenance. Slapping a turbo will just cause more issues in the future.
Reliability
Also Honda should give people a choice and not force people to get a turbo, if the v6 is not selling, fine cancel it but still give us the option for a non turbo model by keeping the 2.4L inline.
It is coming. The transition will be seen in next 3 years with most models. Cmon people still gobble up 4runners that haven't changed since when.....
What killed it for me was the fake exhaust tips. I really was considering this car
Paid 17K cash out the door for my 2017 Corolla SE. It was a loaner w/ 6K miles but still smelt new. The salesman made a mistake and got fired right after the sale.
Nah, he didn’t get fired. That’s just a story they tell ya to make you feel like you got a deal. No sale goes through without a manager looking at the details. None.
I hope next year they do a TRD version of this corolla hatchback 🥰
How do you manage to stay with a straight face through all this :D maybe make a video with bloopers
It comes from teaching high school for 18 years! Thanks for letting me share it with you! We are working on the bloopers reel.
Hey Joe! Great review as always. Love the two tone style though. Btw can you do a review of the Toyota Yaris? If you can get a GR Yaris would be great and it does have a manual transmission! I wanna know your opinion on that one.
I think he did review that Yaris
GR Yaris is available in the US.
@@hohowan360 I'm from Malaysia actually
@@mamadouaziza2536 normal stock Yaris? Yes he did. But the GR Yaris? Not yet for now
Nice car review Raiti very cool looking sporty car. Toyota Corollaa is gold!! If i remember bach in the old days very strong cars Toyota made and again its succesful👌
Really thinking of getting this as a second car for city runs
extra storage makes a drop off with seats down that ruins my plan for some open road and occasional overnight air mattress in back. also, your dead in the water with fix a flat on a destroyed tire.
