I've owned mine for 3 months now and love it so much!
Same with me
Which color u've got?
The same color in the video
@@theknot3483 I am really stuggling what color should I buy... blue and bronze both looking good QAQ
Yea the bronze I like a lot. It's a fun car to drive it for only 168 horsepower it feels like it's got more power into it but I just got the TRD air filter the other day so I gave it a little more horsepower.
Toyota could easily come up with an “Type R style“ TRD performance Corolla, but they choose not to care about their racing heritage
Toyota put a Lotus Elise power train into a Yaris ! Only available in Europe, I think.
rob0079 so sad, TRD is such a religion and they only make trd versions of trucks (????)
Well you're in for a surprise
L Capone no they have TRD GT86s, i work at Toyota and they’re working on Avalons and Camry’s also
GR would be niceeee
Hands down, best looking Toyota in years! It looks almost like it was designed by Alfa Romeo!
Damn bro! This review was awesome. Imagery, lay out, and dialog was on point for the wondering consumer. Keep it up man.
Smart of Toyota to add that mechanical first gear to their CVT. Having owned cars with CV trannies in the past - that initial launch is where the worst "CVT Droan" comes in.
I used to drive a 2015 Honda Fit EX hatchback. Honda did a great job with the initial acceleration on that model.
Thanks Sacto, good to know. I did enjoy manu-shifting my 2012 Maxima while in Sport mode.
Honda cvt has a great first start off however after that it just grows lazy compared to a Toyota reworked cvt.
Very good review. Well done!
Concise review and comparison. Good.
Thanks, mate. Good review.
Love my SE for commuting, for all that you covered.
I really like this new corolla! They did a great job with this design! I want one!
Who else would love to see Toyota bring back the Corolla XRS? Perhaps with a tweaked version of the Camry's 2.5L?
I'd take a 2ZZ Matrix :-)
Yes please
@@roadshowautos True that would be even cooler.👍
Oh definitely! They should have put the old 2.4 Xrs engine in there, an engine with some history and probably laying around in a parts bin. It would have boosted sales even more. Would have been way more fun.
Screw the Camry motor, they need to just bring back the motor that was in the matrix/Corolla XRS, that was a good engine should just make a modified version
Great video!
Lol it’s like getting socks for Christmas! This guy... love it
I'd go for the SE manual, the SE trim includes all-cloth seats instead of leatherette, physical gauges and all-silver wheels with tires that have a bit more sidewall. It also brings the bang-for-the-buck equation into line a bit better by being $8k less.
Well I have one and it’s quite impressive for the money..... and extremely fuel efficient ...about 40% of the consumption of my 4Runner. Fit and finish is excellent. The only drawback I have encountered is cargo capacity with the slope of the hatch it’s hard to fit boxes in without putting the back seats down.
Toyota’s safety sense works like a charm. There is nothing to be unimpressed about.
The manual is pretty neat with the anti stall feature. Makes first time drivers less frustrated
"big ass grill" -- subscribed! Although, I'm surprised that you showed the "dual exhaust" several times and did not mention that they are fake.
"socks-for-christmas" analogy: PRICELESS!!!...
Very well done review. I agree, the grills are too big in almost all Toyota products.
Love my 2016 Focus ST. Very sad they are going away. Won't be upgrading for a long time but that Volster N looks nice
Me and my friend gonna get em they different and the reliability you can't beat they are basically Lexus
Nice upgrade to the corolla for sure. Has similar body lines to the new Cruze hatch, and almost identical to the 2nd gen Mazda3 from the back. The only thing this new Corolla did wrong was the cheap plastic exhaust outlets. Such a nice looking hatch with those making it look so cheap.
Any news on the recall for the CVT version?
I like the wagon better, is it coming to the states?
"If you're the person that a manual will magically make this car a lot more fun..."
Yes. It will certainly make the driving it a lot more fun.
Is that rear spoiler functional?
Correct me if I’m wrong but I didn’t hear him talk about the fix gear in the cvt that helps with take off.....
@1:56 - "Interestingly it uses a fixed first gear for launch..."
thats how i feel about my focus se. its not a hot hatch exactly but with a couple mods, its no slouch. 0-60 on par with fiesta st, genensis coupe 2.0t, civic si, subaru BRZ etc....
Fiesta st has 200hp and 223 tq on 93 pump gas stock. Its much faster than a brz. Im pretty sure the st has 30% more torque than a civic si and brz....
@@Ssdggfd Based on my experience, theyre a bit faster but here in california, we only have 91 pump gas. also dont assume everyone always has 91 octane. many put 87 because 91 octane is expensive. usually the fiesta st driver doesnt launch well either. they spin off the line or bog. usually brz owners hook up better from a stop. even with their meager tq.
sometimes i get a good driver and destroys me. i dont even try modded fiestas sometimes cuz i know ill lose.
My dad owns the the XRS corolla, I think it's a 05' or something like that. 6 speed manual, revs to like 9k, has 300k miles on it. I'm super excited to see a hatchback Corolla, it's closest competitor is the Prius lol. Toyota are winning all over in 2019.
168 HP is "modest"? You're forgetting that this is the compact sedan/hatchback class of cars where starting price is well under $20K and the average horsepower is under 150
Just checked US pricing just to be sure, but a Mazda 3 Touring is right in $20k usd with 184hp and 185 lb-ft
Tom Chen Civic is at 174
Pretty decent for the size and weight of the car TBH. Don’t need 300+ to have fun in a light car. Could see this car being way more spiffy than my 18’ Impreza with a lackluster 152hp fb20 motor.
Even my 2014 Elantra GT has 173 HP and I paid around $20k new. I would have liked for the Corolla to have had a little more HP, but it does look good so if I don't buy the Veloster N or Elantra GT Sport, this is next on my list.
It's modest compared to compitition, golfs (not gti golfs, the 20k ones) make 175 hp and nearly 200 torques with the auto transmission, the Civic makes 184, Mazda 3 makes around 180, modest compared to what this segment has to offer
How reliable are Toyota's CVT transmission??
This guy is great!
I would like to see a Corolla with a 2.5 litre D4S making 210-220 Ponies with DCT, Premium Audio system and etc. Priced at around 25K USD
I hope Toyota makes a TRD turbo or supercharged AWD version and for now an aftermarket cat back REAL dual exhaust system
I have the '17 Corolla sedan in the same color. When my daughter gets my car. I'm getting this car. Still debating if I should go with the stick or the CVT w/ launch gear. I think it looks great!!!! Perfect for A to B, commuting to work.
Go with the stickshift. Toyota just recalled all of their corolla models with CVTs.
I want one soooo bad in that same color
Da'Lonzo Gibson I both like bronze and blue...and I am struggling
Keli G bronze with gloss black wheels red brake caliper 😍
Most toyota buyers buy it for the appliance dependability. It made it look nicer and sportier to attract other people who would rather buy a honda or mazda just for looks. The powertrain on this new corolla is definitely better and I believe the 2020 sedan would be much better yet, and when it's hybrid comes out, the 0-60 would even be more badass. With today's economy, a smart and mature buyer would buy this... for the longevity, and some sort of tuning possibility.
Any 2019 hatchback that’s standard shift?
Comparing a Toyota Corolla steering feel to a VW GTI. . . really. You guys know what type of people are going to buy this vehicle. Any of the so called, "people who like that sense of road feel", is a minute number. It is supposed to be a commuter car. Not a Ferrari. Not trying to single you guys out, it goes for every car reviewer.
jesse munoz Isn’t all car “commuter car”? Someone can use their Ferrari to work which is the definition of commuter car.
I agree, when he said that the steering feel isn't as good as a VW GTI I was like dude totally different cars but ok. It's like compering a Jetta to an Audi A4 or a BMW 3 series.
@SammyT people who are shopping for a base golf maybe, but I'd imagine GTI buyers would be cross-shopping with SI's, ST's, WRX's, and so on. A Corolla hatch is down 52hp and and a whopping 103lb-ft compared to a GTI.
These cars simply aren't in the same class.
Seriously?!
Andre redeemed himself instantly
Corollas are exactly like socks for christmas
Got one 😍
I really hope that Toyota makes the an actual hot version of this car
I’m thinking about trading my Focus ST in for this, but really wish it was faster
Grandma appreciates over-boosted steering feel.
I thought this new hatch was terrific until the wagon came along . It has all the style but much more substance where passengers and cargo are concerned. #SaveTheWagon
I would so have gotten the wagon if it was available in the US!!! 😀
This is the best looking Toyota on offer in North America right now, all the others look challenged.
I like that bronze color
get the manual if u want cuz aint no body have have enough money to "just get a GTI" its a more expensive model... live within your means. i bet a few mods will change the cars character and you'll end up loving the car.
thats what happened to me. i ended up getting a focus and i did a few mods to it and now im loving my daily commuter. i love the sound, acceleration, and i love that i still get good gas mileage. once my income situation improves then i can get a better car. dont get stuck with a long term payment u can barely afford. then you'll have no money to mod your car lol
Wise words.
Will this come in a manual?
Looks so snappy for a corolla, I love this car lmao
After being a happy and only owner for 15-years of a Mazda Protege 5, I'm ready for my 2nd hatchback. This car was on the #1 spot of cars I was considering buying. Went to the dealer and fell in love with the outside and the cabin...then...I opened the trunk. After that, I told my wife..."we're NOT buying this car". My 15-year-old car offers twice as much space in the trunk than this. The trunk in this car is literally useless! The Honda Fit has a whole lot more space in the trunk and even after folding the rear sits than this vehicle. This made me so sad, but...I won't own a car where I can only fit "two gallons of milk" (yes, I'm exaggerating, but you get my drift!). > Also, the lay out of the speeds in the manual transmission makes more sense in a Honda Civic than in a Toyota Corolla Hatchback.
I'm gonna wait for 2019 Mazda 3 skyactive x engine..
With practicality in mind. Which toyota hatchback is the better-
Base Corolla XSE vs Prius Prime Advanced. They both come out the same price after incentives.
Not everyone is able to take advantage of the incentives, often leaving many to make a purchasing decision based off the actual price.
I love toyota
Under powered for its class and no Android Auto.... that's a no buy. Honda Civic and Mazda 3 is the way to go.
Whats going on @ 3:18 ?
I have seen this car in person and to be honest, it looks more like the older version of Mazda 3. Looks better online than it actually looks.
There are definitely some similar characteristics. We see the rear as the most obvious.
The smaller Honda Fit has way more room inside and a better manual transmission. Why not make a sporty wagon, or at least more space inside?
Maybe it's just me but I don't understand why every car doesn't have a hatch and magic seats.
Xse model great car I would never buy a hyndia over a Toyota I don't need power just style I have already built me one and if I need more power I will put a turbo on it later right now I'm gonna put 20 inch forgiato alloys tint windows and some 12vs in the trunk to beat
The car is nice but we should leave it at that, the Subaru Impreza Sport hb surpasses this new rendition in all sectors w/the exception of the engine department, specifically hp. Not everyone has a iPhone and the lack of accessories are disappointing.
I like this car, a few things aren't that great, would've liked a traditional auto option, but I've zeroed in on this, as almost nothing else currently looks this good for the price
Why can't everyone make a pretty car? Whats so hard about that? Design the outside, then make everything else fit. This has always puzzled me about the car industry, 98% of designers apparently have no taste at all
Love the fake exhaust tips and the Super Glued iPad on the dash :D now add some fake exhaust note and I am sold :D
Is there something going on with the audio or does this guy have a lisp?
Shawn Flores at first I thought he did but after watching a couple other reviews I believe it’s the audio. There’s another guy that the “s” just don’t sound right.
If this car is a hot hatch then my 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport is a Ferrari.
Is that a Mazda 3??
Mazda just shit on the corolla with the 2019 Hatchback being available in AWD AND MANUAL
Isn't that a rebadged Scion?
Dope hatchback.... and yes a 6 speed manual would definitely make the car more fun.
Toyota4Life it’s the biggest piece of shit to ever be released by Toyota.
@@Dvasqz That was the Echo.
nlpnt this guy gets easily triggered when he doesn’t like someone’s opinion. Guess he learned to stay quiet. He’s on every single Toyota video defending every thing about the car they’re talking about. It’s hilarious seeing how butthurt he gets.
nlpnt what was wrong with the echo ? Beside being normal lol
Drop the 2.0L turbo in for a new XRS (or whatever they wanna call it), but knowing Toyota they would just use the 2.5 and call it a day (still better than nothing ;)
Toyota should take the opportunity, and build a high performance TRD model, with a 300hp turbo four, all wheel drive and a manual, to go against the Subaru WRX STi, and fill the gap left by the departing Ford Focus RS. Just saying. Otherwise, very nice hatch, would consider buying one.
We'd all love to see that.
i mean they completely left out that you could get the corolla hatch in a stick too.......
Yo Quiero uno
Rear audio, fake rear exhaust pipes, lack of driving feel and power, and no android auto are the weak points.
Driver seat comfort, heated seats, heated steering wheel, driving comfort, looks, wheels, tires are the nice things.
please yamaha xrs and we are taking 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I like the car but the Corolla always seems outdated. When the market went to 2.0L 4 Cyl engines in the early 2000's they kept their 1.8L until recently. When The rest of the market works on larger or turbocharged engines. They go 2.0L. They just don't seem competitive with any other manufacturer. What it has is a great price point with great reliability. This still seems like a car for people who just want a point A to point B workhorse. A tuned 2.5 or small turbo engine would be highly appreciated in the higher trim.
Toyota is and always will be the most reliable manufacturer because they're a generation of technology behind... Why would they adopt a brand new technology right away to be competitive? Reliability of previous technology speaks for itself and the new tech is likely to have hurdles before it gets perfected, which makes it risky from a reliability standpoint.
@@TwistyTrav That is somewhat true. Many manufacturers haven't went turbo engine. I definitely prefer the Mazda 3 over the Corolla for it's 2.5 and styling. Interior quality is leaps and bounds ahead of Toyota while keeping up in reliability. It's Why Toyota owns such a large share in them. They want some of what they got. Mostly the engines.
turbos make a car a lot less reliable, needing way more maintenance and can become very costly when going above the 100K miles
@@86painkilla Facts. Still, most new car customers buy a new car every 4 to 6 years and wont care.
Wagon PLEASE!!
YES!!!
@BillHK Why should we tolerate being treated as second class customers compared to Europeans?
@BillHK All the luxury makers are flooding the market with wagons. Now we need #WagonsForTheRestOfUs
Non - "car guys" will look at the Euro-spec wagon like the steering wheel's slimed with pus. But if they raise the ride height just a half-inch, put gray flares and rocker moldings on it, and call it a RAV2 it'll sell like warm bread.
I'd wait on the Mazda 3 hatch!
The new Mazda3 will be unveiled at the LA Auto Show in two weeks!
@@roadshowautos I heard, I'll be looking out for your vid.
Only drawback with new 3 is they are going to Torsion beam no more Multilink.
Mazda 3 hatch made in Mexico discounts it automatically.
New C pillar looks odd on the 3.
When you compare it to the gti you might as well say oh Veloster Turbo and Civic Si this isn't close to being compare to those two
Except the Veloster is ass ugly
28,000 for a Corolla??
I keep going back to the Hyundai Elantra GT, or maybe the Fiat 500L
How about the Veloster N?
Or standard Veloster.
I own a 2018 Ford Focus ST and it blows this car out of the H2O....too bad it is not brought to the US any longer....the Corolla does look like a nice car though!
Uhhhh no way a Ford is ever going to be better than a Toyota. In 10 years, that Ford is going to have a lot more problems than a Corolla.
First problem CVt
no problem with mine at 16000 miles.
I got rid of my 5.7 Tundra for this Corolla. I’ve owned 12 vehicles and it’s one of the best ones I’ve owned yet. Getting an average of 38 mpg on the XSE. His comparison of vehicles at the end was one of the worse I’ve seen.
Owners: Put some reflective red stickers cut to shape in those fake ehaust ports on the rear of your Corolla, it looks great.
I was 100% dumb fat and happy and in denial happily in love with my 2015 Ford Focus with one of the nicer trim packages. Well, until the fancy pants dual clutch transmission went belly up. You know, the one Ford knew was 100% defective and unfixable. Ruined a good thing.
Yeah nissan needs to step up.
“Socks for Christmas.”
Just give a 7/8 speed auto instead of cvt
We'd never turn down a nice DCT.
yeah despite the quirks with my dct in the focus. i like it a lot. sport mode is a hoot. looking for a gti next which has the better wet clutch.
you need to Stop the edibles broski
$28k for fully loaded top trim corolla. The civic si comes fully loaded for $25k.
Come on Toyota we want a fully electric Corolla, it's 2018 for Christ's sake!
Sorry, 2020 Toyota and 2019 Honda Civic models. Both models had CVT transmission and exterior body look not nice.
If I were choose today, I definitely get 2019 Mazda 3. Few thousand more but it has 6 speed automatic and 2.5 liter engine 186 horsepower and 35 mpg on highway. Also the Mazda 3 sedan look way nicer than 2020 Toyota Corolla and 2019 Honda Civic sedan
.
I’ll keep my Golf R
...as you should.
Why most car companies have that stupid square infotainment device
Watch @savagegeese video.
cheap, no need to redesign the dashboard if you can duct tape an iPad on the dash :D
What would you prefer circled? Triangle? Oval? Hexagon?
From this punchy class, with similar price: golf, Mazda 3 GT, civic sport (looks are bad though), and Elantra GT sport would be my pic. If budget extends, GTI and veloster N beat all the above. I think, this car is not yet warm/sporty enough to compete with any on this list.
"luke warm hatchback" haha
That's why you got to get the manual transmission! Duh!
Twincam,RSI & RXI are gone and no more
this guy sounds like the Eddie Murphy snl character who spoke like a white dude
TOYOTA IS THE BEST
The cvt transmission is defective
*was* defective on 3400 early build 2019 Corolla hatchbacks
