@@FinalDriveshow In Canada here. Total price $28,287.47 CAD. I added a few dealer add on options. Undercoating and paint protection with extended warranty. Love the car. Speedometer issue that you mentioned is not an issue because kilometres are used on the outwards face of the dial. I like the look of the 2019 better that the 2020 model. You should review the 2019 Hatchback with the new 2.0L. Both Direct and Port Fuel Injection with and Electric Water Pump and Thermostat. Thanks!
@@ridds777 Congrats on the purchase! Living in Canada, it’s a no brainer going with some sort of paint and undercoating protection as the snow and salt are no bueno. Agreed! The 2019 models look a lot better than the 2020. If I can get my hands on a 2019 Hatch, I will definitely review it! 😀
Ridds I actually feel bad for everyone who bought the new corolla yeah it’s a faster nicer car but it’s a pile of junk , Ik two ppl who bought one and it’s been back to the dealership more times than she’s filled up on gas 😂
Bought this car and model in black 1yr ago. Really like it so far. Good review, first one to not make fun of the sport mode which does make the car come alive (for a Corolla). Black paint job blends with grill better than other colors. I get more compliments than expected! At night the blue lighting on dash and steering wheel looks great!
Congrats Alex! 🎉 SE's with the Premium Package include push-button start as part of the Smart Key System, but finding an SE in 2019 with it may be prove just as elusive as finding Sasquatch in the wild. 😂
Final Drive that’s what I also found funny, my premium package included the touch screen display and backup camera, but no push button. I was genuinely weirded out by it.
Idk why u don’t like the bumper I actually like it it looks aggressive in my opinion just for a daily driver and btw someone make a video on doing a muffler delete and a resonator delete I wanna know how it sound like cause I’m not risking it to sound like a Honda
It definitely looks aggressive, but Toyota could have been a bit more subtle about it. A resonator and muffler delete will definitely alter the sound as the resonator removes specific sound waves and the muffler simply lessens sound level. There should be plenty of vids on TH-cam with that mod.
Thanks Mark! Yes, I am an actor as well, so you may have seen me in a few things 😉. Here's hoping 2019 will bring bigger & better things...and more subs! Lol
@@chrisniyubahwe5686 Good question. It's all going to come down to personal preference, BUT if I had to pick an overall winner...2020 XSE all day baby!
I own same car you have shown us. Its the best car I ever owned. Its pure joy to drive and look at . Great job on your videos. Also you talk really nice. You don't talk as some amateur morons with that "UMM" when they have no idea what to say. You are awesome. THANKS FOR GREAT VIDEO AND PRESENTATION AND QUALITY OF IT. Also you look great , BALD MEN ARE COOL AND SEXY.
Thank you so much! I work hard to put out all quality content, so I appreciate you taking the time to watch and let me know. Cool & sexy…you betcha! ;)
I have a 2019 Corolla SE. Great car. CVT takes a little getting used to. Not a huge fan of the firestone FR 740. They are hard. I'll replace those with some cooper 5 or michelin eventually. But love the car I'm just happy they went back to a spin on oil filter. And easy to get to. Just buy some rhino ramps
I got that car with a 6 speed manual and its fun i also have a 02 civic 5 speed and a 80 pinto with a 4 speed so this is comparable and a good addition to my fleet
The only feature that the XSE has that the SE with Premium Package doesn't have is full softex leather seats and front heated seats. Both have the upgraded Etunes Plus. Entunes Premium is optional. I hate it doesn't have Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
I don't know what the trend is with these ridiculous grills. Toyota refreshed the Corolla for 2017 giving the front end a facelift and added their Safety Sense package
Unfortunately, the Corolla is one of the only one compact cars that doesn't have Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It' also missing Blind spot monitoring that the Civic has. Also, no heated steering wheel offered, only in Canada.
@@FinalDriveshow It's not about love or hate. They just don't hold up as well as good regular automatic transmissions or manual ones. See, I keep my cars for way more than 5 years, so I want a tranny that will last forever. Maybe I'm in the minority here. I just don't change out my cars that often, since I'm not rich and I spend my money on other things. Hehe.
@@joseCalderon1976 So true. CVTs are notorious for failing. Unfortunately, more and more automakers are switching to them as they are cheaper to manufacture and get much better fuel economy. Also, I like to keep my cars a long time too. :)
@@FinalDriveshow Well is part of the "designed to fail as soon as possible" scheme so that they can rob you with another new car. Anyways, I'm not a new car buyer. I always buy good used cars that are like 5 to 6 years old, and you guessed it, with a good old regular AT or manual one. Who cares about a few more miles per gallon if the damn thing blows up in like 5 years or less (those CVT things). Unless you change your vehicle often I guess, but you get screwed over again with the trade in and buying a new car process. I hate dealers and their scams. They don't really like me either because I play hard ball. But I don't care about their feelings.
I actually like the front bumper it's better than the L model
Yeah, it's definitely better looking than the lower trims.
I have the SE and I love it
I have the XSE and agree! The lower trims look like jellybeans with the rounded front
I just bought a 2019 Corolla SE today!
Awesome! Let us know how you like it.

Thanks for sharing! The Corolla improved so much with this generation.
The sport mode really does make a difference. I don’t mind the grill because my paint is metallic gray. It’s a nice combo.
Does your car have the 1.8 or the 2.0. Engine because someone is selling a 19 SE here that has a 2.0 that produces 168 hp.
Just picked one up with 58k miles. So far it feels great 👍
Congrats Julio! Hard to go wrong with a Corolla.
These things hold their value pretty well, hard to find an SE for under 20K, but that just proves what a great car the Corolla is
Very true! Toyotas retain their value long after production ends and Corollas can run forever if properly maintained.
Great production quality for your show’s premier video. I learned a lot and can’t wait for episode 2!
Thanks Joe! Looks like I'm the teacher now. LOL
I want this car!! I love compact cars and this just fits me in so many ways!
I hope you get one Edwin!
I’ve had mine since July 2019 and I’ve never seen an SE trim with push button start. It’s the ONLY feature I wanted 😂

@@adrian22556 Sounds like you might have to be the first. 😉
The front bumper is better than the other trim levels.
Totally agree!
I have white se 2019 and its looks really good in white with alloy rims and i love it so far
Good color choice Rizy and glad you love it!
I have the slate metallic and I love it!!!
@@jocelyn6377 Nice! Thanks for letting us know Jocelyn.
I just recently bought one and I love it! I have a 6 speed manual.
That's awesome Jason! Can't go wrong with a manual. 😁
Me too!
You look familiar. Have you been in a movie before? Anyways, great review and production. Hope you have more subscribers, you deserve it! Cheers

I thought I saw you somewhere! Keep the videos coming. To a new year and more subs🍻
I own it and love it compare to the 2018 Prius that I use to own
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Jerry!
I have one and I love it.
Sweet! Thanks for sharing Oscar.
Own it
Nice!
Gracias por el Vidéo. It doesn’t matter how many cup holders this car has. I like the Corolla SE.
De nada Frank! You can never have too many cup holders...well maybe. 😂
@@FinalDriveshow You are the best saying the truth about any car from the point of view of a costumer. Greetings from Canada
@@FinalDriveshow There used two before 2 more cheap plastic cup holders in the back of the center console, but Toyota removed them for 2018
@@davinp Good to know. Thanks Davin!
The cup holders on the back of the armrest is the biggest thing about my car that bugs me 😂 I have the 2017.
Me I like the new Toyota Corolla 2020 better than the older one honestly the changed a lot of things on the new one
Toyota got a lot right with the 2020 Corolla but that front tho...oof! 😅
@@FinalDriveshow so how do we pick a winner between the newer model or the older model
@@chrisniyubahwe5686 Good question. It's all going to come down to personal preference, BUT if I had to pick an overall winner...2020 XSE all day baby!

Luckily Toyota has one the most reliable CVTs

Nice! You have quite the collection and all manual transmissions. Impressive!
Dude! PRO! 😲
Thanks!
I bought a 2019 XSE
I like it so far
Good choice Rick and thanks for letting us know!
The only feature that the XSE has that the SE with Premium Package doesn't have is full softex leather seats and front heated seats. Both have the upgraded Etunes Plus. Entunes Premium is optional. I hate it doesn't have Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
@@davinp There's hope for the Corolla as the Camry just got Apple CarPlay in 2019.
Davin Peterson
My 2019 has Apple CarPlay
@@rickdavid1795 how? The 2018 does not. It has the old Etunes 2.0, while the 2018 Camry has Entunes 3.0 and I think the Corolla
I own it. And I actually like the looks of the front of it.
Thanks for sharing Chad!
I am driving 2019 corolla SE and love it, just wonder why I don’t have alloy wheel...hmm must ask the dealer
Nice! Definitely check with your dealer about the wheels because the SE package should come standard with the wheels pictured in the video.
Love it I own one the same on your video
Nice! Thanks for sharing Jesus.
I don't know what the trend is with these ridiculous grills. Toyota refreshed the Corolla for 2017 giving the front end a facelift and added their Safety Sense package
Me neither. Audi started this awful trend back in the early 2000s, and it still infects the auto industry today.
Just wondering where you are living? In the United State? Is price in USD?
Yes, we are based in the United States, so pricing and SE equipment package may vary outside of the country.
Excellent video. Sounds like a great car if it were not for the CVT transmission that has been a disaster.
Thanks! Yeah, CVT transmissions aren't for everyone nor the most reliable. However, Toyota arguably has the best CVTs for those who like them.
Change the fluid every 60,000
Does the 2019 Toyota Corolla SE have blind spot detection?
It does not come standard on the SE trim level. However, it can be added as an dealer option.
The front looks like something you can use to push snow
Yes indeed 😂
Unfortunately, the Corolla is one of the only one compact cars that doesn't have Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It' also missing Blind spot monitoring that the Civic has. Also, no heated steering wheel offered, only in Canada.
Very true. Hopefully Toyota will add that tech, along with warm weather features like you mentioned in Canada, sooner than later.
I love mines🥰
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know.
Your expressions are funny.
Thanks Danial! 😁
I have this corolla but I don't have the push star only key star
Nice! You can't go wrong with the reliability of key start.
Ur talking too much shit. Its a corolla. A daily driver thats reliable. Not a weekend fun car lol
Thanks! No car is immune from our brutally honest reviews.
