  • So Should you buy a Toyota Corolla Cross? A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician reviews the Toyota Corolla Cross which is a Genuine Toyota and a true return to basics for Toyota.
    In this video we take a look at the Toyota Corolla Cross. How is it to own and live with for a week. I did a heavy technical review on the Toyota Corolla Cross and in that video I told you that once I get a chance to drive one for a week I'll do a full review and here it is!
    Find the full technical review video here.
    • 2022 Toyota Corolla Cr...
    The Toyota Corolla Cross is a breathe of Fresh Air. It is a return to basics. Something that Toyota does very very well is make sensible day to day cars that just keep going. And this one really delivers that very well.

      I really wish there was a way to make it so you never had to press the stop stop start button, so basically shut it off for forever in that when the ingition is restarted , that function wont come back on. Pressing that button every time while easy enough is a pain in the rear. I wonder how these CVT's will hold up.

      I must say. Every review said the Cross was sluggish, and although it is no speedster I frankly LOVE my Corolla Cross! I have been teaching my friend how to drive in his Mazda cx-30 which has amazing pickup as well as I've tried other more zippy cars like the Civic, and honestly I never thought I would.think this way, but the Ride in my Cross is so much nicer. I love the pick-up on other vehicles, but after driving a 4.5 hour road trip to NY, my back didn't hurt, I didn't feel exhausted from feeling the road all day. Honestly the car has forced me to Lower my speed closer to the speed limit, I feel like a safer driver, and it is a comfortable ride. Plus, the car may not be "zippy" but it is more than sufficient for highways. If you were on The 5 in LA, okay, I get the issue. But honestly my car did fine in Boston, Manchester NH, all major highways in New England and NY and it drove great!

Other than that I love my Corolla Cross. The only thing I would change is getting a hybrid version to really add some more punch to the engine and acceleration. The bigger RAV4 Hybrid my GF has does have more punchy acceleration. Hoping the same when the hybrid comes out

    Thank you so much for doing a review of this model! Have been curious. So glad it’s back to basics. I prefer the older model RAV4 and Highlander. Don’t like the newer models AT ALL. I OPTED FOR 2018 Outback instead of RAV4. I’m looking at Corolla Cross to replace my Outback. Agree lack of zip is a drawback but I don’t cover much distance. The hybrid version would be PERFECT. I feel like this is a viable option thanks to this review!!!!!!!

    I have CCross basic for 11 months now. I logged all gas fills and oil changes(3: @1k, @3k, @5k miles). Now I am in 5k/6mnth cycle as CCN guides us. It has now 6k miles lifetime averaging 32mpg. I just love this CCross. No nonsense, comfort, safe, reliable, economy, ownership headache free and good looking mini SUV. I recommand to anyone who's looking for no nonsense reliable and a good car. Bty, I also have RAV4 2019 and I don't tell a noticable difference in passenger seat riding. My wife insists that there are none 😂

I've ordered and paid for the 2022 RAV4 Adventure. It will be delivered next month. I think it's more rugged but would appreciate the views of a Toyota professional.

    Great, accurate, fair review of this car. I bought it back in December and have had it for 6 months now. It drives well, has good features for its class in my opinion. Although, I do agree that it’s slow overall but the sports manual feature helps you mitigate this issue and it becomes pretty fun to drive. Cannot express enough how fuel efficiency this vehicle is as well! For me, it’s literally only 45$ to fill from empty…maybe 55$ if I get premium gas. All in all, a wonderful, reliable SUV that has great value! I highly recommend buying if you’re looking into compact SUVs

    • @MikeKayK

    We bought one, an FWD LE. I like it overall, but not a big fan of the headrests. I wish the seat bottom on the driver seat would move up & down because I like to sit higher up when driving. And from what I've seen, the muffler looks a bit restrictive, a big barbecue pit type muffler. I ponder the idea of replacing this one with a freer flowing muffler to maybe help it "get up and go" more, but then again, I'm not looking for any louder exhaust system noise & I'm not about to eff with a brand new car under warranty. But it sure is a hell of a lot better than that 2015 Chevy Traverse we got rid of.

I want a hybrid version vehicle now. I owned all kinds of Toyotas from the Echo and the Yaris, the Corolla, Matrix, RAV4, and two Siennas. At my age …72 years old, I now want a hybrid version and I want a common sense vehicle that will get me lots of mileage per gallon! I already get 50 km/g now. I want more!! The safety features are a plus.
