Looking to continue their latest trend of injecting a lot more fun into their products, Toyota gives the latest Corolla its most comprehensive redesign in years. Returning a dedicated hatchback model to the lineup, installing an all-new 2.0L dynamic force 4-cylinder engine with 168 HP, and making a slick shifting 6-speed manual with active rev match function available on high trim models. The 2019 Corolla hatchback has all the ingredients for a much hotter compact car then we ever thought was possible from a Corolla. Buyers shopping for a small, efficient, fun, stylish, and affordable compact car can finally add this new Corolla hatchback to the top of your list.

It's a strange day when the new Corolla looks better than the new Camaro.
Honestly so true
That hasn't been said since the AE86
Not hard, Chevy's are ugly af
tryhardnoob respectively , only in your mind.
yeah b/c they copied mazda3
It's grabber blue
It's a hatch
It has a manual
*what else could you want*
MORE HORSE POWER
Mechanical over electric E brake
Rwd
@@hefeadoy8389 nah hatchbacks are more fun as fwd. Get a coupe or a saloon with rwd capabilities.
the camry xse's v6
Toyota is actually starting to making fun cars again
Watch out competitors.
We'll see.
😂😂😂 Fun most people can't afford. This is no where near fun lol
Can't wait for the 2019 Supra
They look fun, kind of. But in reality it’s still the same boring toyota
I love these comments. People are wanting 200 hp. If it had 200, you'd want 250. And on and on.
Typical annoying Millenials
@@willnye9788 I bet they couldn't even afford one considering they have so much debt from their degree in Gender Studies lol
@@joeyGalileoHotto So true haha
@@willnye9788 if they were truly annoying they would be complaining that the base model doesn't have heated and ventilated seats, heated steering wheels, a dot transmission and a 12 inch high resolution screen with 19 inch rims and a panoramic sunroof...at $18,000....cause you know, kids need lexus luxury at bargain basement prices or they can't exist.
Don't they have a option for a supercharger like they had for the scion. I'd rather keep it as is.
I like the new direction Toyota has been taking lately. Reliable yet sporty-ish
That's not something this car offers. It's a corolla. It looks good, but looks aren't everything.
My first car was a 1986 Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S with a 5 speed trans, that was a blast to drive.
i had a 87' and it was indeed a blast to drive. bout to pick up the 2020 corolla hatch, cant get myself away from toyota hatches lol
It would be sweet if the XSE trim put out around 200 HP. That would’ve been a “slightly warm” hatch. Lol
Just swap in the 2.5L from the Camry
Done
Swap in a 86 boxer engine is much better
No chance of fitting in
*Lukewarm Hatch
We need at least 200. 168 is way too weak!
I hope Toyota reads the comments. 200HP with a 6 speed manual transmission
doccyber lmao, that’s what a GT86 pulls (FRS/BRZ).
Rear wheel drive tho where u at 😔
Agreed!
Until that happens, I will keep my 2014 Civic Si. 205 hp stock with a 6 speed manual.
@@spooxbeatz805 fwd can be just as fun in terms of track days. I prefer fwd since my thing is just road racing rather than fun ass rwd cars idk I like the fact that fwd is sometimes seen as inferior but the fact you can go flat out into a corner and three wheel is fun. I own a Ford Fiesta ST best money I've ever spent on it super good mileage and reliability and beautiful styling.
I'm not even mad at the horsepower on this car. What I want is a AWD or RWD version, I'll buy this in a heart beat.
i'll bet turbo kits are very good purchases for this.
Never will happen but thats ok. Maybe find a guy to re-engineer it for AWD OR RWD. There is an AWD civic made from Drag racing. Its on MotorTrend's channel. Civic Drag race
What I want is for this to be available in the Philippines
@@Jumperman12mac if you want something RWD or AWD, then get a car that already has that. Why fix something that ain't broke?
@@Jumperman12mac The 2023 GR Corolla will supposedly have AWD and a turbo 1.6l 3 cyl like the GR Yaris. It isn't confirmed yet, though.
Love this car so much! Can't wait to buy it in five years when it depreciates and I can afford it lol.
Carter Davis unfortunately, in 5 years most will have over 100.000 miles, will have scratched, dull fading paint, dirty dull worn out interior, etc.. worn out engine because everybody under forty thinks 7to 8 thousand mile oil changes are just fine .....
Carter Davis Just give it a year and buy one cheap from Carmax, with a down payment of only a few hundred dollars! If you go to a dealership, chances are, they’ll want $1k-$3k as a downpayment depending on your credit. Carmax will beat that! Anyone nowadays can buy a car from $18k-$20k but in my experience, Carmax makes it a reality. Been there done that.
Steve Franklin True! I don’t believe in 7k mile oil changes either! I only believe in 3k mile oil changes! My vehicle has an oil usage percentage indicator. When I see it at 50%-40% usage remaining,
I start calling around for an oil change!
Jackson Dasilva you waste a lot of money and oil then good job.
my 2013 corolla s only has 60k miles on it. May trade it in in a few years for one of these.
I'm glad you spent so much time with the MANUAL. It is the only way to go!
Then by all means choose the two pedal option.
Donovan Campbell Stick to Auto. Lol i made a joke there. I prefer manuals though.
Donovan Stop trolling and being obtuse. Obviously the torque converter automatic was invented for convenience and to assist physically disabled drivers in the 1940s. Disabled people are the primary market for automatics, but everyone else has no excuse.
Except manuals are always slower if its less than 5 years old. Proven for every model thats offers both
@@metalcardude4099 Are you taking this to the track? It may be slower by a slight margin, but in turn you have WAY more fun while driving around every day
So good to see that the Corolla RunX RSi and TRD finally has a possible successor.
I'm happy to see you recover from your Bells Pallsy
maybe he had some dental work done
David P no he had Bell's
I'm happy to see you recover from your Balls Pallsy
As a Californian, the roads aren't *that* bad, it's just a bit more difficult. Looking at the XSE manual as my first car next year. That'll be fun.
Im not a fan of hatchbacks but this one I actually like. The exterior is good enough for my taste and the interior definitely has better quality than the previous generation.
If I was in the market for a hatch this would be my top choice.
Very impressive for a corolla.
Jordan Catcher that is exactly what I said. The first thing I also thought of was how much that look like though old Mazdaspeed 3.
Wow Toyota has really upped their game with this new Corolla.Loving it !!!!
its such a shame that cars are compared by their features and not how they drive these days
Amen
Ja stvarno
The features lists grab the buyers attention, the test drives settle the purchase decision
I don't know how to explain it but I just purchased my 2018 Toyota Camry SE last week and I know what you mean by saying how they drive. The interior is what you see 9/10 on a daily basis. The Camry I have is 203HP and 184TQ. I guess its just preference. Out of the 6 cars I test drove and researched my goal is gas mileage and resale-ability. I can say with my chest that more than half of car owners purchase older cars for eco cars. my Camry that gets a combined 34MPG is going to sell WAY easier than under 30MPG combined type cars. Like I said I guess its just preference.
why did you buy a new car and not a used one?
I love how hard you drive the car it just shows us that the corolla has some balls
Toyota needs to bring back the XRS for this model
With a sunroof!
feathers93 would be cool to see a new pift engine.
Imagine a 2zz in this thing...
JLH (Just Life Hacks) would be crazy
No, they need to bring back, Celica and MR2
At 24k fully loaded this is my next car. It has everything I want in a simple car and more. Great video review.
The color😍😍😍
Yea, you can thank Ford, lol. Is Grabber Blue trademarked?
Ben Kuyt The difference is Ford vehicles can't last upto 2 years.
Anderson Rodriguez awaummmm
Ford wasn't the first company to come out with this type of blue... (Jeep, Subaru, Hyndai... etc.)
Never thought id say this but, pretty nice corolla!
Oooh lord knows I've been waiting for this. Now all it needs is a true TRD modification list and it will be gold
I have one of these as a rental right now. It’s a lot of fun to drive. And the interior build is top notch. Great job Toyota!
rebirth of manual popularity!
Never left in Europe.. oN THE OTHER HAND, rare to find a Auris or Corolla as you calls them still with automatic here..
That's right Christian. But thank stupid US driving schools not teaching drivers with manual.
@@detective3728 give it time, seeing these young TH-camrs in UK advertise how they had to go to automatic since they struggled on manual. Please defend the manual transmission life with all your might
JoMar Vlogs auto trans is horrible to drive, driven manual for 30 years
Just bought my wife a Crosstrek in 6speed. She loves it! I’ve got myself a 6speed WRX. Gotta keep the manual alive!!!!
Idek why people want so much power out of this toyota? In my opinion a car is more fun when you can push it to the limit on the street without breaking the speed limit. If I wanted speed I would just ride my 2009 Yamaha fz6r motorcycle. Its a modern car that is for practicality not speed.
It’s more fun to drive a slower car fast, than a fast car slower.
If you can push a car to it's limits without breaking the speed limit, that means it is the worst car ever made. The highest speed limit i have ever seen is 70mph. If your car is screaming redline, in it's final gear, and hasn't reached 70mph, you need to get rid of that car immediately.
If you want a slow car that is fun, look into a Miata, FRS/BRZ/86, MR2. This is a Corolla. Same generic car it's been since 1989, when they stopped making the fun ones. You know what else was built for practicality, a Focus ST and GTI. What do they both have in common? They are actually fun to drive.
My thoughts exactly. You to go faster than 80% of the people on the road? Get a bike.
@@mattevans1643 That's so true! When I look at this comment I laugh now because I'm buying a Genesis coupe because I think the brz/gt86 is too slow with no turbo. Also.... I want a 1000cc motorcycle now, man age makes you greedy dam.
@@Camself Facts! Or atleast a actual sports car! The Carolla stopped caring about speed after the rwd ae86 was discontinued. The people hating probably take the bus! 😂😂😂
What is with manufacturers making this FAKE exhaust tips???!!!!
#WTF
D Mack if people are willing to look past it on expensive merc or Audi, I am sure people won’t care on Toyota.
I feel you but better than an ugly unfinished pipe sticking out the backside. Right?
Make no mistake,you'll be surprised how many manufacturers have fake exhaust tips.Ferrari? Bugatti? Guilty. Look it up yourself.
stefan urquel doesn’t mean it’s kewl
chocolatewheelchair
True...I am trying to make sense of it.
20 more horsepower & RWD and this would be the hatch of the decade.
No need for a sunroof , looks perfect with the manual 😍
mugtaba rabih nooo we need a paño sunroof !
victor almonte actually the pano sunroof will reduce the body rigidity especially in small cars and no one wants that
Really impressed with this car. A real worthy competitor to Civic and probably looks and sound better now. I hope Toyota makes a Corolla GR
"It's an amazing machine." -Lance Nguyen (Fast & Furious)
Impressed by the feature content on this regular corolla. That new CVT is intriguing. You can really tell that first gear helps to solve the problems a lot of people have with cvts. Good job Toyota. Now make a hot version
Toyota really needed to refresh their Corolla, It looked like it was from the 90's. It looks amazing, may consider this when my lease is up.
Well wow - this is the first Corolla I’ve actually wanted since the AE86 ... nice!
I really like this new Corolla, that color is beautiful, nice interior, not a bad CVT (which I hate).
I really hope that this car will be successful in the NA market. It'll show other manufacturers that a high level trimmed manual car is still desired here. I have a feeling that my generation will bring a slight increase to manual transmissions back to the states in modern cars. More and more young people seem to be interested (or maybe that's just the people I surround myself with, but hey here's to hoping!!)
GORGEOUS.
The Corolla sedan needs a refresh as well. It will look good if it takes a lot of it's design elements from this. Super well done Toyota!
BDiHTA, The new Corolla sedan will be due next year . It will come from Mississippi and Alabama.
Wow Toyota really upped their game in this segment. I’m digging it. Still too early in the stage for me, but they definitely have some potential here for a really good hot hatch. I hope to see Toyota grow with this model in the future. The interior quality looks nice and the exterior design looks futuristic. The only thing that is not so great are the fake exhaust.
Just needs a hair dryer to be perfect! Glad some car companies haven't given up on cars, this is on my short list in a couple years...oh yeah, thanks for keeping 3 pedals as an option, its greatly aporeciated🏁😃
Klasse Act oh you mean a turbo, I’m gonna start using that lmao
Toyota just officially released the 2019 Corolla Sport aka Corolla Hatchback. 1.8 liter engine for the hybrid version and 1.2 liter turbo with FWD for the CVT model. Prices range from 23K to 27K excluding options.
Give it 3 years a bunch of these things will be modified pushing 300hp.
The 9th gen civic SI with the 2.4l has an integrated exhaust manifold which makes swapping out the header impossible(you have to swap out the block head) + the integraded exhaust manifold makes the turbo spool faster so everyone is going turbo with that car and easily making near 500whp reliably.
SI0AX high hp is only good in a straight line tho :) power is nothing without control in the corners. This engine would be pretty responsive with bolt ons and itbs probably make 215whp peak. And just completely gut the car to reduce weight
Weight is the enemy of handling. The Corolla handles well for what it is. I'm sure if I put some potenza re11 on it, poly bushings all around and some coilovers I'm sure it will handle amazing. Also the answer to your question is the gt86 it handles absolutely amazing but thats not my point
Sergio Aguirre you are right about the double wishbone suspension I have a 99 Civic with double wishbone I love it handles absolutely amazing. The problem is no one no longer makes double wishbone suspension cars anymore :(
Sergio Aguirre the new civic type r doesn't perform on really tight tracks compared to the old civics look at Keichi on the gunsai togue circuit. It's a 300whp car mainly because it's making up for the corners in the straights. To be honest I want to build my car NA and I just want to handle really really well. I will stitch weld my chassis etc but still I'm not sure what suspension setup I'll be going with yet too many choices
I have the 2018 iM; it looks a lot sportier than it drives, but it's still a great little car, fun to drive. Test drove the 2019, liked the 2018 interior more, plus it was a lot less money (naturally).
What's up with every car coming out with that ugly video game style infotainment system?
This is starting to really win me over. But no sunroof is a borderline deal breaker. I also wish they had a non cvt automatic.
Imagine an AWD version with the turbo power plant from the Lexus 200t 8AR-FTS powerplant. It would be phenomenal. Toyota should really consider building this. I mean the Corolla Hatch platform is already designed to have an AWD option so the just have to stick the turbo 8AR motor under the hood which shouldn’t be hard considering the motor is made for compact FWD/AWD applications like the NX200t. Hell I’d buy this even if it costed as much as the Camry V6.
Suneil Bhaskara - agreed
Agree but it would be better if its rwd especially for s model because drifting
Too logical it’ll never happen :/
Suneil Bhaskara ew
toyota is more for mass production and affordability. no one is gonna be paying for 30k+ 240hp 200t corolla imo.
I'm against buying vehicles - especially cars - new because of depreciation, but this manual Corolla XSE looks tempting. Maybe I'll get one in a couple of years. If it had a sunroof that might would push me over the edge.
I would also love to see a faster option with the 6 speed manual. 200 horsepower, even in fwd only, would be cool. AWD or even more horsepower would be phenomenal. I'd definitely fall in love with a Toyota hot hatch.
Damn right it is. That blue is AMAZING
If only we’ve seen this blue somewhere else. Maybe another hit hatch from a competitor that rhymes with chord
Yeah it looks fordmiliar.... I can't seem to put any fingeRS on it... Maybe if you just FOCUS.
There's trim levels for a reason. It's not just options, it's also for performance. If you want a corolla buy a corolla but if you want a sporty corolla with more power you can get the xse.
Ford did it, with the focus RS. Actual differences in the Trim levels but it's the same car with better everything
I think the proper badging for this car should be Toyota Matrix!
Erick Iglesias Matrix XRS 2ZZ true successor?
Remi Lafleur almost, but nothing by Toyota will ever be as great as the Matrix
Indeed, it's not a corolla.
Yes!
Yeah...see, the thing is this car replaces the Matrix (and Scion xB (and the Scion iM a.k.a. the Corolla iM)).
You are a very good reviewer. I like how you get to the point and basically show everything I would be interested in knowing about the car. And thank you for showing the key fob. That is so very much appreciative. I also like how you go over the performance of the car not just once either, you actually test it out and give your opinion on it. Great job. I will be viewing more Redline Reviews for sure.
I rented an LE Corolla last year and he's absolutely right about the old one. It's anemic! I couldn't wait to get outta that loud, slow, thing! It made noise for nothing !
Brian McKoy but it was dead reliable and that's the most important thing. Most people who buy cars that's their number concern. Older One wasn't a horrible car but yes it needed updating
Sounds like a sweet car for someone who is just learning to drive stick. But for the sport tuned engine, moonroof, tech, and cool design, I will probably lean to the Civic Si.
This looks way better than the overdone civic performance models. This DOES look like a mazdaspeed.. very nice
This fellow does the best car reviews on TH-cam -by far. A lot of content in short time.
love the look of it. I have the 18 Camry. Toyota should have put the same 2.5 with 203 hp in this corolla.
I also have the 18 Camry and I agree with you about putting the 2.5 L in the new Corolla!
I agree with both of you and I wonder which car will get better mpg.
Right Lane Hog the Corolla should get better if both had the same engine. Its 300 pounds or so lighter. The cvt would help as well.
Brandon Urban, The 2.5 Camry gets outstanding mpg, I am really curious as to whether the Corolla with the 2.0 will beat it. We will find out this summer.
BUrban Videos don't much care for that. But if Toyota brings back the Blade model like the last generation with even the 3gr v6 engine, THAT would be better
I drove the previous Corolla as a rental and it was horrible off the line. Glad to see they addressed it with the new one.
I love the pineapples on your shirt. LOL
It's got a very positive Opel Astra OPC vibe with it's looks. Globally I think Toyota has a top sales hit with this new Corolla.
Am pretty sure a Toyota/Gazoo Racing version will be in the works.
I'm am officially waiting to drive this before buying something like the Civic Sport. Looks great, and is actually engaging to drive. Plus doesn't rob you of features. I hope the XSE is less than $22k
Good call.
Really like your style of reviewing, just subscribed. I just purchased this car, 2021 Corolla Hatchback, 6 speed manual in two tone silver metallic w/a black metallic roof (a la Mini Cooper) and I just love it. I am a car enthusiast who loves Germany cars, but am tired of the maintenance costs. I traded a 2011 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI w/a DSG double clutch automatic transmission (fabulous transmission) and 80K miles on the clock. I am looking forward to may years of sporty low cost ownership.
I love Toyota! I’m getting a 2007 Toyota Corolla. Because my 1998 Chrysler Sebring broke.
You didn't even need to say the year, we all know if it ain't broken, it's not a chrysler.
Sure is was a old 1998 but it only had 96k MILES!
Car looks really good. I would consider this as a daily commuter.
Add the sunroof, sedans have it. This would look even sexier with that sunroof.
I'm really into this car for some reason. Definitely wish it had more power or awd or even both! But for someone just looking for a fun little commuter car that gets good mpgs I'm all about it. Never thought I would be into a corolla!
I’ll hate to buy this then next year they bring one with 200+ hp
Won't happen, toyota doesn't now, nor have they ever made sporty cars. Let's go through the history. The MR2,Celica, Supra,AE-86,FRS/86. The MR2, AE-86, Celica, and Original Supra(1-4gen) had Yamaha designed engines. The FRS/86 had suburu built engines, and the new Supra, is made by BMW. Toyota has never ever done anything sporty. And will never put a 200hp engine in a Corolla.
@@mattevans1643 Toyota has said that they will give all of their models the GR treatment, which means that it might add more power. Besides, there's already the Camry TRD and Avalon TRD, both of which no one would have thought to be "sporty".
First toyota that doesn't look ugly and weird from all angles and the interior finally caught up. Feels like lexus had a hand here 👌🏾
finally toyota understood the game ..epic comeback to bring back the competition with kia,hyundai
King Ad I have to agree
King Ad I mean, when the Veloster N comes out, I guess they'll have to up it. I don't think they'll have a choice to compete with that one.
Brian Giordano it'd be nice to see but I don't think there will be a 100+ hp gap between trims of this car. The volester makes 280 with the pp. 250 in base. Who knows lol
Wedow I know. I want the Veloster badly. I've seen vids on the I30n. But I wish more options were available too. But SUVs are killing the U.S. market sadly :/
Brian Giordano I really hate SUVs, the only reason I even drive one is cause my dad owned one and I inherited it since I am an student. First thing I will do when I have enough money is buy the veloster N.
Glad Toyota is making the Corolla sporty again like the 80s 86.
I cannot get on board with the tablet style display so many manufacturers are adopting. It looks like they took a Wii-U controller and put it on the dash.
I agree 100%. People keep saying that when they compare the honda accord to the camry, that because the toyota doesn’t have the tablet, it will look dated quicker. I think just the opposite. When the dumb ass tablet stuck on the dash fad passes, that’s really gonna make your car look dated
@@boldcitycc exactly. It looks cheap af. Integrated into the dash is classy and clean. This looks like someone got a install kit from a parts store discount bin to slap a tablet in the dash because it didn't come with navi.
I mean if they're going the tablet route they need to super size it like Tesla 😂
Test drove it last night.Fantastic car except on hard acceleration it is a little loud.The 2019 sedan had more NVH insulation.Hope the 1.8 sedan coming is quieter.
14:09 "When they adopted this tablet like dispray"
It is great that Toyota is now taking the Corolla to a more premium sporty route. Like you said before, a compact HAS to fool you into thinking you paid a lot more money than you actually did and this new Corolla does just that.
This car actually looks very European.. that's not bad at all
PLATINUM well it is a Toyota Auris which is a car that is designed for the European market.
Praying 🙏🏼 for the GRMN to release sooner after this sells to public. Let everyone you know & convince them to buy this Hatch. When Toyota brass sees the #’s, they’ll green light the GR & GRMN hothatch! 👍🏼👏🏼👌🏼
If they slap a turbo on these to make at least 200-250hp Id get one right now!
200 would be sick 160 is bare minimum IMO. They are having talks about having a GR Corolla. I am going to wait to see if that comes out on the next few years. The GR Corolla is rumored to have the GR Yaris engine that is out in the UK, Japan, Australia etc. but not the USA. The GR Yaris’s engine is three cylinder 260+ hp stock. I’m crossing my finger for that if it doesn’t come out I’m definitely buying this Corolla, and there seems like they have enough mods for this car to get to about 250
The manual XSE does have the blind spot monitor. The manual SE does not. I just checked the official Toyota site.
And it sucks I would not buy it without that feature. That monitor has saved me a headache in other cars but I do drive stick, i fall asleep driving auto
I never thought the day would come that I want a corolla. I love the way this looks and it has a proper manual gearbox...they really need to up the power though.
I made fun of Toyota's until I read more about their trucks and saw this. Now? I want a Corolla and a Tundra.
Great first car for young buyers!
would be great to do car reviews as base configuration as possible. because that's what most people end up buying.
Looks clean and practical. And it's a slightly better Corolla IM. I mean come on, you expected them to make a hot hatch?
MAMR, Precisely.
Ohh...you spoke too soon. Toyota's already makin a hot hatch version.
Good job Toyota, this entry will make a splash in the hatchback space, and will definitely have the other manufacturers in their toes.
A turbo model with 240-ish horsepower would be sweet
Slender Men yeah but then it’d be a sports car and lose all practicality.
Thats why they offer different trims. Turbo could be the sport trim.
Slender Men Yeah, dude, and it’s very possible too now that Toyota is working to get rid of the vanilla ice cream-ness in their cars.
Even 200hp would be nice and can complete with the si, gti, even wrx
I just bought one. I never thought I would own a Corolla. Especially after owning a Ford F-150, Mazda MX5 Miata GT, Audi A6, 4th gen 4runner, Ford Mustang, Camry, 5the gen 4runner limited. 3rd gen Tacoma TRD Sport, two Lexus ES, and a Wrangler JL. I am blown away by the little Corolla. It’s almost as fun to drive as the Miata, but almost as comfortable as the Lexuses I’ve owned. It has Apple CarPlay on 8” screen, made in Japan, near hybrid MPG, standard Toyota radar cruise control and parking sensors, and big digital dash, heated seats, garage door opener, smart key push start, etc and many more. And it’s one of the cheapest cars that I’ve owned. It’s one of the best deals of the decade for cars!
well this corolla has feature that my porsche doesnt even have, i guess its time to trade it in for a corolla
Lol my car doesn't have any features except for AC/Heat, and power windows. And i wouldn't trade it for anything.
Here's my take. The Golf has auto up and down windows on all 4; they've been doing it for almost 20 years. I believe the tires are 225/40/18 on the XSE trim, not 235. Also, regarding road noise, from the video, I saw it is on Yokohama Avid GT tires, which after searching, I couldn't find even on their own site. I'm curious to see what tires they'll go with because at 40 seconds, you'll see the tire wear rating. 280 treadwear! That sure sounds like a summer tire to me which would definitely increase road noise (and accidents in the snow belt since the majority of consumers don't switch out their tires in the US - I'm one that does). It is weird to me that Toyota wouldn't package the blind spot monitoring system with the 6MT since most of the required hardware is already there. That's not a huge blow to me personally, especially in a car this size (it's only 4" longer than my 2006 Mk5 GTI), but it could be for others. The fact that it doesn't have the swivel LED headlights even as an option on the 6MT IS a drag though. If I remember correctly, the cross traffic monitoring is not available on any trim? That's a bummer too given how parking lots are these days. I love that it has Adaptive Cruise Control even on the 'base' SE and with the 6MT. The fake exhaust tips are tacky on an otherwise pretty clean design. I prefer the all black SE front grill too. It does remind me a lot of the second gen Mazda3, especially from the rear 3/4 view. Toyota has a hit. I'm glad they're keeping N/A engines for a bit longer and have actually developed a proper 6MT for this car. I can't wait to test drive one.
One more comment. I'm 99% sure that was *the* original hot hatch at 21 minutes. A Mk1 VW Rabbit GTI.
Those tires are shit! I won't need tires for awhile since I have a set of wheels and rims for the winter. But once it's time to replace em I'll be looking for something with a much higher and better UTQG rating. I found those piece of crap tires on Tirerack and they are $188 a piece!!! 🤯😵
Toyota is bringing back the fun cars to compete Honda’s
The perfect commuter. Plus is gonna be super reliable and hold its value.
LOL. I bet Toyota is pissing off the other automakers so much right now. With so many features standard, they’ll have to try to come up with ways to one up this.
Toyota is playing catch up, Idk what you are talking about. Hyundai has had most of these features standard for three years now.
Skyhound auto rev match on the manual?
uhhhhh. Toyota safety sense is standard since 2016. check this link. these safety features are only optional on ALL Hyundais as of 2018. www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/cars-with-advanced-safety-systems/
Geoffrey Wan not a single rational being gives 2 shits about this cars 'safety suite'.
Also, playing 'catchup' is fairly easy, when you take all the electronic garbage out of the car. Ill be buying a Dacia, when its legal. No nonsense cars and trucks, with analog gauges, and a radio. No bs 'safety' crap, no touchscreens. Just a focus on fun and functionality.
Reminds me of the XRS; not an impressive amount of power, but certainly far more sporty than its contemporary models.
In terms of looks I'd say "hot hatch", but overall with that engine it's really just a "warm hatch".
lol true
Billy Hughes I don't think Toyota was selling this as a hot hatch... not sure why that's coming up.
Toyota4Life we meet again!!! This is like the 4th time... Lol
Bolt a supercharger on it Toyota!
True -- I was just going off what the review was saying. It's a nice looking car.
For a sub compact, thats absolutely beautiful. I'd drive that if I was looking at that segment
Makes me wonder if Gazoo Racing will make a Type-R Fighter.
Krome Yoshi this comment is hype. I'm intrigued I actually hope they do!
Had a Rolla.
It was a base model with AC and a manual transmission in sedan platform.
Loved it in all but three ways.
No hatch, no balls above 60 mph and high body roll.
If this one can beat or at least match my 08 hatchback impreza outback sport, and use all wheel drive, I'll come back to Toyota and buy it with no regrets nor hesitation.
That said, I had mixed feelings about the Corolla.
I bought it because I had to have a reliable car that was cheap to fix.
As much as I hated the lack of room and power, the more I tossed it around, the more I loved it. But now that I have AWD I'm not sure that I can come back.
I hope that Toyota sees this and many other comments about the competition because I really do love Toyota vehicles....
5:18 keep the key fob in me??? Buy me dinner first.
We need this with boost for at least 260 hp and rwd or awd. Some aero and you got yourself a real sports car
I don't know about you but I got an Astra and Megane vibe from this.
Just got this bad butch today!! I’m in LOVE
How do you like it?
this is really good lookin but ithey should put a more exciting engine in it
ITS YA FATHA Gazoo Racing will take care of that
No the engine is fine. I want to be rwd because drifting
I wish Toyota would try to make another variable lift engine that could pass smog nowadays. 2L ving ving engine would be dope! I'd love to see a variable lift in The big Lexus 5L V8as well.
I think the horsepower and torque numbers are great. The question is, how much does the car weigh? If this thing weighed about 2500 - 2600 pounds it'd be a quick little hatch. The early 90's Sentra SE-R with 140 hp are still quick little cars even today's standards. But that's because they weighed around 2400 lbs.
