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.
@@donaldzuramp4404 it’s so bad. Driving in Florida is more about monitoring that other people don’t put you in danger rather than monitoring your own moves and decisions
@@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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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
@@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
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!
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 👍
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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..
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
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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)
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.
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.
Glad Toyota stopped making cars with those plastic hubcaps. You used to have to pay a lot more extra for alloy rims. But from what people tell me the Toyota Corolla's from back in the 2000's were made better than the Toyota Corolla's today.
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.

The Hatchback is my favorite Toyota Corolla ever. If I saw one in Black, then I would definitely take it if I was old enough.

Still prefer my Elantra GT N-Line but always love seeing more hatches on the channel. Joe’s review got the Hyundai on my radar!
I think you got a great car Nick! Awesome job man!
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
I have gti 7.5 manual. Corolla hatchback is good and would be a serious competitor to gti if performance factor was added
It is coming soon!
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.

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

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.

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.

It already exists in other countries. I hope they bring it to the US!
I just bought the hatch in hybrid down in Australia. Such a smooth drive
The problem with this car is that it looks faster than it really is

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.
I have a Lexus RX350. One thing I can't stand on it. Looks like someone magnet mounted a tablet to the dash. Its a trend that needs to stop.
Glad Toyota stopped making cars with those plastic hubcaps. You used to have to pay a lot more extra for alloy rims. But from what people tell me the Toyota Corolla's from back in the 2000's were made better than the Toyota Corolla's today.
I know right!
I would like to see this as a hybrid to replace my 2014 Prius C.
AGREED!
Toyota?! Hit us up when you GR Yaris these fine States!
Thanks Man but we are getting a GR Corolla!
@@RaitisRides how much power? Manual? I love this car in that blue color.
@@kdrguru the corolla gr will have the same yaris powerplant and 6 speed
@@hassansmw5634 But no awd right
@@tinhinnh that I can't confirm..too early to say. It may it may not. In anyway it will be very fast
Need to see the k5 gt vs accord touring
I like the way you think!
God a K5GT with a Honda or Toyota engine and transmission would be PERFECT.
Europe got Toyota corolla hatchback hybrid, When are the states gonna get that version?
That is a great question.
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!
