I like the point you made about these speed snobs wrongfully attacking Point A to B vehicles like Corollas on their 0-60 times which are more than adequate for getting up to speed on the highway.
Thank you so much. It’s very true. It’s creating problems that vehicles don’t have. We really appreciate you watching and for commenting. We hope you enjoyed the review. Lots more coming. Have a great weekend.
I have a 2004 Toyota Matrix with a 1.8 four cylinder, 132hp, old school 4 speed auto overdrive and it is rated at about 9.2-9.6 zero to sixty.
Honestly it zips around very nicely. Even to freeway merge or steep mountain passes it goes pretty good. I think the secret here is a very good traditional 4 speed automatic that just holds gears and shifts when it should versus the new cvt transmissions that may chug along .
Anywho, what is also very important in a good engine is some decent low end torque to just get the damn vehicle moving . Most compact and sub compacts lack good low end torque. Or they will have a turbo to make up for the deficit.
Personally I prefer a non turbo engine just to avoid complexities, special maintenance or fluids and filters, higher parts replacement costs, etc.
I think that either the base has engine or hybrid Corolla Cross will be a hugeeeee seller for Toyota. I’d buy either one if I was not so damn broke. 😂
Those early Matrix models had a bit of pep. They were everything a Corolla sedan was but better in almost every way. Jared had an 06 Matrix. Great car.
Excellent little SUV for around town, I average 2500 miles a year and this would work out excellent! Putting order for a AWD! And I'm retired...
2500 a year mate? Well, when you get your Corolla Cross you will definitely want to drive it more. Hope you’re enjoying retirement.
Fun vid as always. Look forward to your next one.
Thanks so much! Keep an eye out for our next video. It’s a special one.
You guys alway put together great reviews while being entertaining. All the needed information and a few laughs. Well done!
Jim, as always, thanks for the support. But the question is, who brings more laughs, Jared or Brad?
@@HoodSlappersOfficial both of you are good sports during the video, definitely play off of each other. What I like is you take it as well as you give it, respectful fun. The world need more of that. Thanks for being great examples of showing respect and value to each other… with an edge 😉
Thanks Jim. Great answer. As long as we can entertain and educate our beloved viewers, you can count on us. And we know we can count on you. Thanks again Jim.
I was actually going to give a thoughtful replay to the Cross vs C-HR question you guys posed. But once I learned Toyota has moved to a subscription model for a remote start I stopped because it was at that moment Toyota lost my business. These aren't luxury $100,000+ vehicles here and a basic function like a remote start should never come with a subscription. There is plenty of competition out there that once you buy a vehicle you don't have to keep paying them to simply use your vehicle.
Your hats section was really entertaining. My wife and I were cracking up, especially at the getting beaten up by your friends commentary. Very valid. Great job once again!
Haha. Thanks so much. Glad you liked that bit. Remember when Toyota said no to Apple CarPlay and decided to come up with their own version. That lasted a year maybe and then they chose to use CarPlay. Toyota listens when their clients speak. You never know, they could always change their subscription model down the road. We hope they do.
Thanks for watching.
I believe the Dodge Challenger and probably the Charger both with ZF 8 SPD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION have the remote starter feature that comes standard on these cars. No subscptions or passwords to remember. Dump the cell phone.😁😅🤣😂😆🤗.👍
what is even the point of remote start. Seems like a gimmick. Just start it when your inside your car.
@@jaydel3 Warm it up while you wait.
What a great, down to earth review. Consider my heart slapped!
That’s amazing. Thank you so much Ektorp. We really appreciate the encouragement and are glad you enjoyed the review. Have a great end to your week.
Thanks guy. Nice hat collection. 0-60 test was not less than a climax.
Haha. Yea not the most exciting 0 to 60 test. We still think Brad cheated though. :)
As always, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. We have a special review coming up soon.
I got mine last June 18 I have no complain 🥰🥰🙏🙏I love it it’s just some minor changes or curious coz there’s no power steering reservoir and At dip stick as well and will shut the engine when u press hard the brake . Also I love the speakers 🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍Perfect sub woofers sounds
Thank you so much for watching. It’s a great vehicle for sure. We are glad you’re enjoying yours. The vehicle shutting off at full stops is to maximize fuel economy so they can achieve the fuel ratings posted on the window sticker. Depends on what vehicle it is, but is called something along the lines of Auto Start/Stop. It should be able to be disengaged if you don’t like it.
Thanks for checking out our channel.
The subscription is not for the key. It's for remote start over the phone. It allows you to unlock/start your car from anywhere in the world. You can get your Amazon delivery to the car, then lock it. You can have your Turo customers getting the key from inside the car. Yup!
Thanks for the insight. We appreciate it and thanks for watching.
I test-drove this vehicle back in December of 2021. Yes, it's struggling upon attempt to accelarate, but I am buying it anyway, for daily commute and the quality and value Toyota is known for. My 3rd Toyota vehicle. Drove VWs, MBWs, Mazdas, but Toyota brand is the winner when you look at all aspects, for an average household. 👍🏻
It’s a great car and brand for sure. Toyota knows what they are doing and they do it well. Enjoy your new vehicle. All the best and here is to many happy miles.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial thank you so much. I am pretty certain it will take good care of my commute needs for years to come! 🥰
I just took delivery of a Cross XLE FWD. Only took 5 months of waiting. Noise is not bad, even with 18" tires. Ride & handling are excellent. Visibility is great, but back window is small. Outside mirrors are huge & get BSW. Tech is fine if you like tech. Premium package isn't worth the money, IMO. I agree the seat belt alarms are annoying especially the rear seats.
Thanks for taking to time to share. We love hearing from actual owners to get their feedback. It’s great insight for viewers. Thanks for checking us out. Enjoy your new Corolla Cross! Want us to come slap the hood? :)
Just curious if you feel like you got a fair price. With so few available, I'm sure dealers are not making deals right now.
i have a corolla cross with 2.0 engine. i use extreme driving style to get 5.0L/100km, which is 47 MPG. i never go over 100km/h, seldom let the engine go over 2500rpm when accelerating and hyper mill when ever possible. so l smile when i see the gas pump, and its a different kind of fun to squeeze for MPG.
Well that’s no fun at all. Haha. Those numbers are fantastic though, so it seems worth it. Enjoy and thanks so much for watching.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial getting the numbers is the fun, lol.
Haha. Love it. Then don’t stop. :)
Speed is NOT my problem. I live in a tiny island with 45mph max speed limit.😅
My concerns will be how strong the AC is and how it can withstand rusting.
Again im in a tiny tropical island with salty water. We have to use rain water for car washing.
Well first off, when can we come visit this tropical island? :)
Second, thanks so much for watching!
Hey guys just curious where you are located. I saw yours had a heated steering wheel. All the ones that I see does not have that. Is it an option?
Thanks for the comment Andrew. We are Canadian. The Corolla Cross comes with a heated steering wheel starting on the LE AWD model. It is glorious. Just not in the summer of course. Thanks for watching Andrew.
Although it can towe 1,500 Lbs. It is not advisable to do so when you first break this car in because the engine’s cylinders do not actually wear as quickly to normal specifications since the engine periodically turns off using the internal battery to drive the two seperate electric motors which propell the wheels forward. And actually straining the drive train the first 25,000 miles decreases performance and increases damage and expensive repairs. Best to wait until after the initial 25,000 miles before towing 1,500 pounds. Instead of after the first 5,000 miles.
Never over fill your hybrid fuel tank beyond capacity, as it will flood a special emmissions control dry carbon filter system that must not become wet with fuel over flow invading this space next to the fuel tank. I have no idea the cost to repair my brand new Carolla Cross Hybrid because i was unaware what i did, when I ignored the first fuel fill click at the pump and fuel back flowed out out everywhere.
Another fuel system problem is if you open the fuel door and become distracted, and return 30 mins later to fill your fuel tank, the emissions system stays on and closes the filling throat because too much vapor extracted over 30 mins can damage this emmissions control cavity so Toyota created a timer to close the the fuel fill throat. Your vehicle must be returned for service by towe truck unless you have enough fuel to drive to your local Toyota Dealership, and may not be covered by your warranty. Please be aware of these things before you make one of these mistakes.
And when it is towed, your hybrid is all wheel drive and must have all four wheels off the ground on a flat bed truck! Never have it towed since the electric motors will heat up and over charge the battery when the hybrid engine computer is off will damage the motor and battery causing excessive damage and a potential for fire or explosion. Even if pulled behind a motor home is not recommended and not covered in your hand book.
Thanks for the insight on this. We hope you enjoyed the review
Hahahaha, you guys are awesome. Cracked me up 😂😂😂
Una! Thank you so much for sharing that with us. Hopefully we were able to make your day a little more fun. We appreciate you saying hello and checking out our channel.
Toyota corolla cross xle awd or Hyundai Tucson preferred? Did they get rid of the ugly muffler on the AWD CC? Reliable, economy gaz
Well, every muffler is ugly. :). What exactly did you mean? Personally, the Tucson has a better design and layout, but the Corolla Cross would still be out pick. Something about a Toyota just screams longevity. The car might not be as fancy, but it still does everything you need and rides well.
Being a "big guy" myself how is the driver seat fit? own a 2008 Rav4 6'2 and 326 and thinking about buying one, but comfort is important, thanks
Brad and Jared both have wee legs so they won’t be the greatest brains to pick on the subject. But, if you are looking at any Sub Compact SUV, this was one of the more comfortable and spacious front seats. Definitely take one for a drive and try it yourself. Considering it’s size, it still provides great space.
Hi Guys,
I ordered mine 2 weeks ago - LE AWD, I was told the wait times is around 9-12 months and I am from Quebec. Is this still accurate?
Thanks so much for your comment and for watching our review. It all depends on the vehicle. It seems the Japanese brands like Honda and Toyota are getting hit pretty hard right now. Toyotas process is basically to create an order, and wait for Toyota Canada to fulfill the order. Our advice is get the order number of your car from your dealer. That way you know that your car has been ordered and there won’t be any sneaky switches. Second, ask the dealer to update you when there is a build date, a build complete date, and when the vehicle officially has a VIN. 9 to 12 months is possible, however some people cancel their orders and that could bring you even closer. You never know when you might get that call saying someone that someone else cancelled, and if you would like their car. At the end of the day, it’s a great vehicle and you will love it. The wait will be worth it in the end.
We hope this helps. We appreciate you saying hello.
I respectfully disagree with your analogy. So the Corolla sedan is that nerdy skinny kid and the Corolla Cross SUV is the buff handsome kid that the skinny kid turns into after hitting the gym? There's a false assumption there that SUVs are superior to sedans. I would choose the Corolla sedan over the Corolla Cross because the lighter curb weight and lower center of gravity of sedans make them much more fun to drive and have better fuel economy.
Fair point. We think Jared just wanted to make fun of
Brad in that scene. Thanks for watching and checking out our channel.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial class act, gents
Thank you so much. We appreciate you commenting.
Labatt 50!
We got that wrong! How did we do that?! Always thought it was Molson 50. We may have to drink it now as a punishment. Haha. Thanks for watching. :)
i keep hearing reviewers say that the car is underpowered & slow. Did Corollas used to be fast? Am i missing something?
Excellent point. Corollas are not meant to be fast. Neither is the Corolla Cross. It’s slow compared to a faster car and that’s not a fair comparison. In its segment, the Corolla Cross is perfectly fine. Is it slower than a RAV4, yes. But the HRV is slower than the CRV, and the Taos is slower than the Tiguan. The Corolla Cross gives you the power you need.
Thanks for watching. We appreciate you taking the time to comment.
I believe that the cross is already dated.The outgoing CHR looks more modern. Also fwd in the cross is torsion beam where chr and rav are multilink. Cross could be rougher over bumps etc
It doesn’t take long for a vehicle to look dated these days. It seems there are so many changes to vehicles that if you don’t change SOMETHING after a year, it becomes dull. Either way, the Corolla Cross is still pretty good.
Thanks for watching.
I always wonder why trunk space is measured in volume. Are they thinking of filling it with water? Why not linear dimensions? Volume won't tell me how big a piece of furniture I can carry, or whether or not I can sleep in the back
We couldn’t agree any more with you. If you are filling your trunk with poured out milk, then it really helps. Nobody hears maximum cargo volume in litres and knows what that even means. But it takes length, width and height and brings them all together to create litres. Not the most relatable measurement.
So Hood Slappers will you change your presentations?
We will definitely consider it. Or at least use a practical example of what you can fit in the cargo area. Thanks for watching.
Anyone please help with the car steering wheel, I really don't understand it
Jude, we would love to help. Please send your questions to us at info@hoodslappers.com. We can do our best to help answer them for you. Thanks for watching!
My next ciar❤
That’s awesome. We loved it. The Corolla Cross is definitely a power house in this segment. Enjoy it!
if you Google '' 0-60 toyota cross '' you will find results of 9.2 secs.
The hybrid version which is out in Asia ( some are only about 145 hp in hybrid) but with a 195 hp version for north america is supposed to reach 0-60 mph in the 8-8.2 secs range.
So for the base gas version in north america, the 0-60 of 9.2 seconds is about average for a small compact sedan or suv with modest horsepower of 170-185. Really, some vehicles may hit 8.5 secs but will you really notice a half second in quickness?
Having said that, i have a hunch toyota may up the base gas engine another 10-15 hp but more importantly bring up that 150 ft/lbs of torque to 170-180 or so. Either by offering a a slightly bigger displacement or a mild turbo onto the current 2.0L engine.
OR, toyota may do nothing , hoping your need for speed will make you either by the hybrid or spend more money and buy a rav4.
Toyota could do what Honda did with the HR-V. Run an engine that people say has no power and then release the next generation answering the call of slightly more power. At either rate, the Corolla Cross is made for a lot of things, but speed was never one of those things. We appreciate the comment. We hope you enjoyed the video.
I just got one love everything about it the only thing is the engine needs a turbo very under powered pulling out in traffic
Thanks for sharing. You never know what the next gen Corolla Cross might bring.
After over $35,000 I definitely am going to have to wait😢
I was comparing the Lexus NX against the Corolla cross for about 20,000 less it just seemed better price even though the engine is non-turbo
I think i missed their mention of their height.. I'm 5'11 and thinking of this Corolla Cross
Brad claims to be 6 feet, but he’s really 5’10”. Jared is the same hight as you are.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial thank you!
Any time.
I like the cross
Over the CH-R? Nice. Thanks so much for watching. We appreciate you saying hello!
That seat 💺 belt beeping seems super annoying. I would rather have my ex-wife back in the car. She would always tell me what to do. She is dead now.
Wait….what?
Yeah the seat belt beeping just came across as unnecessarily loud in the video.
poor brad
Poor Brad indeed. Ha. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial My pleasure! You guys make honestly great videos and are well worthy of much more popularity!
You are way too kind. Thank you very much. That means a lot.
How tall are you guys? No relativity based on "hats"
Thanks for the question. Jared rolls in at 5’11” whereas Brad sits comfortably at 5’10”. Both of them have shorter legs than average. That’s important to know too. Thanks.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial Ok thanks 👍
Not a worry. Thanks for watching.
Hey don't forget to add another password😅🤣😂🤑.
Here we go again. More SUVS🤑🤢🤮. Also building and designing a vehicle based on a smartphone subscription?🤢🤮. Whatever happened to building and designing a vehicle for driving and comfort? Too many driving distractions including the vehicle itself🤢🤮.
Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment. It does seem that SUV's are taking over the market. They are growing at a very fast rate. Is there an SUV that you prefer?
@@HoodSlappersOfficial No Stupid Useless Vehicles (SUV) for me. Lol😄😁😆😅🤣😂😊🤗. I don't want to end up upside down in a roll over with these crazies driving on the road.
