- 2023 Toyota Corolla / Upgrading the Basics
Thankfully, the Corolla still offers a simple approach to a small car. However, this generation and the changes for 2023 help it become a car more people should WANT to own. Today, I will show you how the little Corolla still keeps up with the Honda Civic, Mazda3, Hyundai Elantra, Subaru Impreza and more!
Thank you, Royal South Toyota, for letting me test drive a Corolla for today’s video!

I just got my 2024 Toyota Corolla SE and I love it ❤
You don't hear about Corollas catching on fire like kia or Hyundai's. I got a 23 le coming in 4 weeks, got it for 1200 under msrp and it was made in Japan. I did not need all the fancy stuff, just want a car to last a long time. Thx for your video.
how did you get it 1200 under msrp? did you have to negotiate hard?
@@braetonwilson4296 nope, i think it was because it was being sold in colorado and 99% of the people want awd and fully loaded and this one was an le-fwd with the convenience package. i got really lucky 22,600 before financing. on toyota's website for the same car should be 24k.
@@1976axerhand You lucky bastard! 2023 corolla LE gasoline with the convenience package is the car I want! Only difference is I'll be buying it in cash.
@@braetonwilson4296 ice cap white too. I have a 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz night edition,gave it a chance, stupid me I knew better not to buy it but it looked awesome,but on the forum's even the 23 have the dct transmission issues so I'm getting rid of it before it falls apart.
@@braetonwilson4296 if one is buying brand new car from the dealer, don't mention cash, only pay cash to pay it off after a month or two.
It is 100% made in Japan, good enough reason to be in top of anyone list...
Only hatchback made in Japan. Sedan made in Mississippi 🤮
I'm so glad I got my manual 2022 hatchback in mid 2022, a third pedal turns this car into a different animal.
I think this 2023 refresh brought it to become the class leader! Really wished the hatchback was offered as a hybrid!
Because prius
A hatchback with hybrid AWD and a sunroof will be my ideal car.
@@amamiai Has nobody heard of a Prius?
i was sad to see it doesnt but im sure there is a reason although idk why they dont offer a sunroof witht the hatch
It keeps up by being the cheapest and most durable
Am looking for a new car and I’ve gotten a lot of value out of your videos. Thank you! Keep up the good work.
I have a xse hatchback corolla and I love it! It does have a CVT but it is workable. I am definitely going to get me a manual trans hatchback ASAP. This will be my wifes car. The hatches are Beautiful cars I was blown away by their looks. Ive had vws for 40 years and this is my first Toyota. Im sold.
A professional review young man. Smooth as silk and very informative. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
……and that’s ok. Corolla may be a slower can than the Civic but look at who last longer and more reliable: the Corolla for the win. They’re proven naturally aspirated motor just supports their legendary efficiency, longevity, and reliability. And balanced good gas economy. Perfect! Otherwise, what else do you expect from a Corolla? If you need more, get a Camry or any other higher model vehicle for that matter.
Corolla SE has more horse power than the Civic Sport. The upgraded trims on the civic after sport are turbocharged but only have 11 more horsepower
I agree about the front end, the headlights are ok but that big black maw of a grille is scary. After parking on the streets of NYC for 40 years I miss bumpers. Your excellent review underscores why the Corolla is the best selling car in the world. Cheers~
The only place I’d buy bumper covers!
I have a 2012 Prius, owned since new, and plan to buy a 2023 Prius. However, I might consider a hybrid Corrolla after watching this. BTW, my Prius is the best car I have ever owned in regard to reliability and overall quality.
Thanks. Great review. Very helpful.
Excellent review!
Great video!
Great review and I totally agree that the Corolla sedan is more practical and spacious than the Corolla hatchback. Just try squeezing suitcases in both. I guarantee you can fit a lot more in the sedan trunk. I also agree that Mazda 3's 2.5 liter engine has more juice but I'm wary of the cylinder deactivation tech they've introduced and it's impact for long term reliability.
They’ve had cylinder deactivation on the 3 since 2019 and I didn’t read any issues from people deriving from that so I wouldn’t really worry about it myself. If that’s your highest priority though, then the Corolla still takes the crown for sure!
I just bought a Cement Gray 22 Apex with the manual. Such a good looking car and the 6 speed is so smooth. I always considered Honda and Mazda the kings of making a fun and perfect feeling manuals but the Toyota 6MT is way up there too.
Got the LE on December. I looooove my Corolla ! ❤
I love this car lol
put a deposit on the SE windchill pearl today!!
exciteddddd
FYI don't run eco over 45mph.. not meant for that. It's for city start stop driving
The Apex Rear Wing looks so good! Ordered the SE recently!
i want the 2023 XSE Corolla in underground color with the apex wing and wheels! 🔥 👌🏽
Great review can you do a corolla cross 2.0 lt vs corolla sedan 2.0 lt review
I wish the hybrids werre available in a hatchback body, but that would probably steal some of the Prius's thunder.
No radio tune dial? Well a scan button, or a bunch of presets would be OK as well.
Awesome! I think you helped me make my final decision
Glad I could help!
What is your decision because I want to buy too
@@armanmohammadi5937 I actually did purchase the vehicle! I'm still waiting on delivery tho.
@@drunkindecro oh cool. I want to buy too but not enough money yet🥲.
@@armanmohammadi5937 save your pennies friend! And who knows interest rates might be better by the time you can afford it!
I have a 21 and now they come with these different headlights
well this car has been on sale here for more than 5 decades debuting in Spring 1968 for the 1969 model year. price for the 2023 model year starts at 21,550 for regular LE before options taxes etc. though I'm also a bit of a Toyota fan girl when it comes to regular everyday runabout cars I came home from the hospital in a Corolla station wagon and a number of other relatives etc. have had Camrys a highlander etc. and my dad tells stories of a friend of his who had a 1st gen Toyota Supra and another friend of his who was a Cadillac guy etc.
How would you compare the corolla sedan with the Mazda 3 hatch? Especially the boot space behind the back seat.
WxB and GR corollas definitely have the wow factor.
It will be so nice to have the 196hp hybrid motor AWD in this corolla SE who come in the Corolla Cross and Prius this year... Maybe next year? It would be the perfect Corolla sedan!
I haven't seen anyone mention this, but the pre-refresh gauges on the Corolla seemed more premium - even if the difference was slight... This new gauge cluster looks incredibly boring and cheaper! They should have stuck with what they had before :/
I agree they should have left the sweeping gages and added a a HUD
Review the hatchback - please.
it's so strange. In Romania we get all the options in the lower specs
It´s a good compact sedan but i like all the other competitors from Asia more. Thanks for the review 👍.
Thanks, I feel I’d personally go for a Mazda3 or Civic before the Corolla but the kia/hyundai models, the impreza and the nissan Sentra would come after the corolla for me!
@@Realistick 👍
Great detailed video!
Thank you!
Can you do a review of the hatch? I have a an XSE hatchback coming soon and want to see a review.
Certainly if i can get ahold of one!
@@Realistick awesome, you got my sub
Sneezed feedback...hehe, good one
Do the 18's on the XSE HAVE any functional purpose besides cosmetics over the 16's that come on SE?🤔
I am struggling to get factory Made Android head unit for Toyota Corolla? Any guess where I can find?
Why isn't the Corolla hatchback available in hybrid AWD?
Got my 2023 HYBRID SE AWD hehe 😎
I wanted an inexpensive, well built, long lasting, competent car and the Corolla seems to check all the boxes. We expect delivery of our '24 Corolla as early as next month.
What’s the road noise like
Sweet. Watched this just for the 0-60. 8.77s is awesome sauce. Explains why ppl driving them are just so slow.
It's better than the 1985 HONDA CRX 5SPD. I bought new in 1984. Has more cargo space with seats down in 2023 XSE HB.👍
The 2021 Corolla SE is perfect. It has a better interior palette and more amenities than the 2023 SE and for sure, it costs less.
Of course it costs less - the economy is shit and inflation has gone through the fucking roof since 2021. The used car market has started to recover over the last few months but ....shit's expensive, yo. Everything is.
is this the SE trim ?
Not a fan of those tires and rims.... damage waiting to happen unless you live in sunny California or Florida.
My wife will be sad that manual is no longer offered on cars most folks will buy.
Can you order a 2023 XSE HATCHBACK COROLLA IN windchill pearl but without the 18 inch tires n wheels and substitute the 16 inch tires n wheels from the COROLLA SE because I don't like 18 inch tires n wheels because the ride won't be as comfortable with less protection from blowouts and bent wheels from bad roads with potholes. Also you have more choices of tires in 16 inch size and get better gas milege. The 16 tires cost less to replace and wear longer. Less chance of curb rash with the 16 inch tires.
Can’t switch the wheels unless you buy them on top of it. Honestly the ride is still good with 18s, they definitely are more susceptible to damage and will have pricier tires in the long run, but they’re still quite reasonable so if you have to choose, I’d recommend getting an XSE and just think about different wheels down the road.
@Realistick Too bad dealership can't do a deal where one could swap the low profile tires off the XSE and put those 16 tires from SE since the COROLLA is an economy car and 18 tires n wheels are purely cosmetic in nature and will cost more in the long run with curb rash damage gas mileage and wear out faster. Just that 18 is more susceptible to more damage on unforgiving bumpy roads. If purchasing the factory 16 SE COROLLA TIRE N WHEELS separately dealership can give a discuont on all 4 tires n wheels.
@@RealistickI just got the 2023 XSE HB AND the 18's are fine and the Yokohama tires on this car have rim protectors😁👍
Does the wind chill pearl paint still flake off?
🤔🥺😳😱???
yes Toyota needs an "in between" from 169 vs 300 hp...Maybe something around 215hp to 240hp 2.0T ,....a GR Corolla Sport?. Toyota could have a GTI competitor with 7 or 8spd DSG transmission, LSD , IRS , 18in wheels and sportier seating.......
Honestly, the 206 hp 2.5L from the Camry would be plenty of power and will last a lot longer than any turbo engine.
I am from Ohio. There is no AWD on the local dealer ship. 😢
We had a 2017 corolla kept it for 6 years got at the end of 2016. Traded it in for a Mercedes GLA 2021. This Benz won't last 6 years 😅😅 and I got it because I "work hard for my money" definitely trading the Benz for a crown or a venza when the market settles
Does the se has low profile tires? Not a fan ,rough ride and prone to tire and rim damage
SE HAS 16 replacing tires of this size you have more choices. The 18 low profile tires are standard in XSE. 18 COST more to replace tires with less selection n protection againt potholes and bumpy ride. On 18 SXE with Yokohama tires has a rim protector to prevent curb rash.
En es ay manual amigo
I ended up buying a civic cuz the wait time was shorter or i would of gotten this forsure
Does this vehicle has engine auto-stop at stop lights?
Nope
Tell me whats the current market price?
USA XSE HB 2.0 GASOLINE ENGINE. MSRP ON 2023 $27,000 + accessories. AFTER TAX N LICENSE $32,000+🤑USA MARKET.
Can we get a Corolla Hatchback review??
Perhaps, though I did do one where I compared it to a mazda3 hatch!
This or Prius?
Is that spoiler modded?
It’s a Toyota accessory!
@@Realistick this is the SE? Model correct on Toyotas website it doesn’t offer a spoiler accessory option that’s what I’m trying to figure out
@@coreywatson5580 You may have to call your local parts department for it then. It was on the window sticker of this one.
Does the Corolla have independent rear suspension anymore? Can the 2.0 dynamic force engine be rebuilt ? Goodbye, Toyota reliability!!
I hate those tablet-like display screens automakers seem to paste onto dashboards. It's just a lazy design.
Imagine paying 30 grand for a corolla
wait, the corolla is on DMT? 😂
Lost interest the moment you said "Toyota dropped the manual transmission"....Sorry. I did hit the thumbs up though,
It is quite unfortunate for the people who want an affordable, fun compact. It will be a sad day if the Civic Hatch ever gives it up.
@@Realistick I still own (from brand new) a 1989 Civic Si. Needs to be given a once over to run again. But it is "Unmolested"!!!! I think that's what I'm going to do. Put it back on the road and enjoy the original pocket rocket! LOL Cheers
SUBARU OVER THIS ANY DAY
**Head gasket has left the chat**
Good luck with all the engine issues Subaru is known for 😂
That and One bad tire on a Subaru will have you buying four brand new ones. AWD has its disadvantages.
Just say…..
