    Actually the Corolla interior looks premium. There are tons of safety features standard, including a driver knee airbag, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning and assist, etc. I’ve been told the exterior looks like a mini Lexus. Everything about the car from the interior to the exterior feels solid and of high quality. I own a 2018 Corolla SE and love it. Don’t listen to what this guy says. If you want a reliable car for many years without problems, buy a Corolla. You won’t be disappointed.

    Toyota is not for car enthusiast like you. It is for those who need a dependable comfortable car that is super cheap to maintain. It will last you a lifetime easily.

      You can get a Toyota 86 which is the best driver's car for the money, what are you talking about?

      Armin K the toyota 86 is a sports car, you can't compare

      @rallyrallo45 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The gt 86 is 27k at base, most people can’t always afford it and the corolla top price is 22k the gt86 is more of an enthusiast car while the corolla isn’t, ive noticed most reviewers don’t get that the corolla isn’t an enthusiast car.

    Great color on that one. I recently lost my teal 2017 Corolla SE in a collision. The front was totaled, all airbags deployed-I walked away with a fractured wrist and some bruises. I can tell safety was a priority in the design, or my accident could have been much worse. I loved that car for its design too, down to the last detail. Comfortable, nice drive as well. Great car overall, one of my all-time favorites.

    I test drove a 2016. I didn't even recognize the CVT until several minutes into the drive. Acceleration wasn't depressing like with the Nissan CVT. It was a fun drive actually.

    I have this in Falcon Gray. Love it. Point A to point B. I bought the pre-production loaner. $17K out the door. There is nothing wrong with the door closing. It sounds fine.

  • @RG615
    @RG615 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Disagree with some items on the Corolla... 1st- doors do NOT close making "plastic noise" , NOT! 2ND- Has good pick up being its smaller engine than competitors. very descent.. 3rd- you cant go wrong with Toyota brand. Have had Hondas and I did not like. Toyota brand is # 1 in my book. Just pick your model!

  • @penvon

    First time I've seen the 50th anniversary version of this car....Hey Sam have you heard about the Lexus GS being discontinued after 2018?

      penvon for real???

    • @penvon
      @penvon 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      ideaynojodas So I've heard,word is they don't have room in the lineup for it because of the sales of the GS...The ES seems to be doing "ok" & they're expecting the all new LS to sell well.
      IMO I think the new LS is the GS & LS combined for the continued future if they do go ahead & stop production of the GS.

    • @ideaynojodas

      Not heard that but it doesn't make a lot of sense as it occupies a thick part of the mid-size luxury market. Who knows however.

  • @mikexcanxjerk

    You never review a 2015-17 Dodge Charger V6 just the v8 , wanted the v6 specifically as most would buy that engine ... I wanted your driving opinion and impressions ...

  • @MrNewlife1968
    @MrNewlife1968 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The old school clock lol. I think the Corolla really needs to have a more powerful engine. If you look at the competition, they give you multiple engine choices.

    • @ELPJM09
      @ELPJM09 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      MrNewlife1968 The competition now only offers turbo engines while Toyota stays with naturally aspirated engines. The 1.8 engine is a tried and proven engine that has plenty of HP for its size. It’s a zippy little engine.

    This guy didn't mention all the safety features like lane departure warning and steering wheel nudge, adaptive cruise control and pedestrian detection/ collision prevention. I feel like he was too negative about it.

  • @tungol00

    I would put the corolla in the bottom in its class, the new civic with the 1.5t and the cruze is my top choice.

    • @ELPJM09
      @ELPJM09 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The Corolla will outlast the ugly Civic with a turbo. Chevy Cruze is not even a competitor lol. They are going to stop making them this year.

  • @K03sport
    @K03sport 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    other than color(s), is there anything else that makes it "special"...is Toyota limiting the number of 50th SEs? not that this would make me want to buy it especially since the xse is more 'eXciting'...I guess this is what happens when reputation/an idea sells the product and not the actual substance of the product...sad

    The car is attractive and its average in many things I can live with. However. Firm seats and can’t find a good spot is a deal breaker for me.

  • @ohheyimjulez9690
    @ohheyimjulez9690 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Its an average car for an average buyer. You compare it to other cars that dont attract the same group of buyers. This is just an ol' reliable, you make it seem like it should be something more. The Corolla competes with other cars, but serves a simpler purpose: To get you to point A to point B. You talk down about it, but its just a car. You set your expectations too high.

  • @troywagnon135

      I drove one of these as a new rental car and it was the 2nd worst driving car ever. And I've owned Toyotas for over 20 years. He was right on the money. It's crap, but reliable.

    • @lucky1206
      @lucky1206 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Richard Lowery dude Corollas are the MOST basic car in the world! did you know as Toyota as a brand makes almost 80% of their money from two models? I really don't understand why people buy this when there is over 150 models of cars out there that offer a lot more stuff some standard such as AWD from every Subaru model made. to me any and every Toyota brand is for family people, cheap people that don't want to spend a lot of money and get basic stuff, old people and people that use that over rated phrase 'I want something reliable' but I think that is stupid.

    Way to ruin a nice exterior design Toyota. Thanks for the detailed review Sam - comfort, material quality and design. Front looks like the crappy Prius design. I think the Honda Civic has a much better looking design appeal.

  • @67tomcat
    @67tomcat 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Like the RAV 4, this looks like a catfish in the front. It will be reliable, but it will not be much fun. Still, it will sell on it's merits alone, and that will be enough for most.

    I bought my SE in November and loved it until it had a serious malfunction within a month, which included loss of acceleration and loss of brakes. Toyota couldn't figure it out and they were horrible about the entire thing. I'll never buy another Toyota again and highly suggest that anyone watching this and considering one look elsewhere.
