![Toyota Corolla T Sport REVIEW on AUTOBAHN [NO SPEED LIMIT] by AutoTopNL](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YIgJPsm1cbo/mqdefault.jpg)
Richard Hammond before people knew who he was
He said its a 2 litre then 2 seconds later said it was a 1.8 lol
i was about to say the same thing ahaha
Probably forgot its not a k20
He was rounding it off. A LOT of people do this actually.
its lot quicker then 8.4 sec from 0-60
toyota underated the numbers
realistically your loooking at around 7 seconds
They didn't want to shade the Celica with the same engine that cost over £5,000 more.
@@pb5x5In North America they didn’t even bother giving a number for the Corolla XRS (USDM T sport basically), they just said “sub 8 second 0-60”
I used to love mine, kept it standard, fastest car I owned and was most fun for overtaking and listening to that cam change(felt MGF I had more fun overall) and very practical for a 3dr, sadly I think mine was a pup, too many things went wrong and was too expensive, so got rid.
It’s basically a type r but better on fuel lol
Just dropping in to say I did a 14.8 at Pod in my Corolla T-Sport and beat a Civic Type R FN2 which has a rated 0 - 60 of 6.4 seconds and it had a good driver.
Only mods to my car were a cone filter, and the fact I'd removed about 80KG from the car (back seat, spare wheel, nearly empty fuel tank)
My best 0 - 60 according to the data-logger is 6.622s and my maximum speed reached is 142MPH (private road of course...)
Came up against one of these in my FN2, I was only ever a pinch ahead until the corners and that’s where the difference showed, but what a fantastic car this is considering the price point and that it took a corner for me to beat it. Definitely not appreciated enough, always a funny feeling when I see one and get nervous!
I've had one since 2012, got it with 64k on the clock but judging by the breaks it'd been a tough 64k! Love it though, so fast, always thought the 8.6 quoted 0-60 was just to lower the insurance group! lol, it's so quick off the line
@@trif55 8.6 is the 1.8 vvti celica, they rated the vvtli at 7.2 which was bullshit 6.3 /6.7 when hitting the sweet spot all day ...
You'd just buy an ep3 instead and not have to worry about oil starvation at high rpm and have a much quicker car 😂
@@JohnJohn-ij5rj By much quicker I assume you mean not quicker at all and with much less standard equipment, inferior interior fit and finish, higher purchase price and insurance price? Yep, much better buy. 😂
In seriousness though, the EP3 had better drivability at lower RPM's because of the slightly larger displacement, and it has better handling out of the box and nicer steering feel, but as an all round car I would take a T-Sport fitted with a cheap set of Teins over an EP3 any day of the week.
Oil starvation is also a non issue as long as you use the correct grade of oil, service it properly, and fit a baffled sump pan if you are going to be racing with sticky tyres. On the street with street tyres you won't run into any problems.
Well back then these cars were aimed for youngsters in their 20s and now you can't even afford insurance on 1.0 fiat punto let alone an 1.8, 190bhp corolla to insure this it will cost you 3 grand or more
There’s no such thing as a 1.0-litre Fiat Punto, the smallest engine ever offered in the Punto was a 1.2-litre.
@@joshbacon8241 ok yeh 1.2, but there are some other cars with 1.0 engine like the yaris of that era
Not in my country, only costs $400-$600 per year for full comprehensive
@@izzy031096but that does that include legal liability cover in the millions , fire damage , theft over things to
@@DC3Refom I can’t remember the coverage, it was in the millions . And yes, full comprehensive cover for fire, theft, water damage, hail damage (all the big worries here).
The T Sport Commpressor is at the top. Same as the regular T Sport but with a Supercharger
Oh, come on. It's not a 2.0L; it's a 1.8. And it's not a VVTI but a VVTLI, L stands for lift.
the lift just kicked in yo
Thats a vvti
Johnny Trigger no vvti is what the slow one had
L stands for lit
0:40 Name of the song please
I have one, 1.4 VVT-i 2005 Petrol in Manual. 181K miles and it has no problems.
Apart from the transbearing i think it's called, it's quite loud now :(
Awesome car, I wish I had one
I still have mine and still a rocket.
My wife had a 1. 4L version for almost 10 years.. It never gave any trouble whatsoever.. And it was quite nippy too for a 1.4..
good job you got the facts right, it's a 1,8 to start with, 192 bhp and it has VVTLI
Thought it was 189? 192 for facelifts or something?
The ultimate sleeper
Richard Baby Hamster Hammond 😁
I wonder is there any one on sale half cut ?
+John Chung Min Tat Got a Celica t sport for sale if you want it.. Just spent a bucket load on it, good to go...
I wonder who put that ring on his right hand
Hammond looks so young 😲 weird seeing no jezza or may with him though. (Yes I'm. Grand tour / og top gear fan) 😂
And even own one of these cars
Dude's a millionaire now
2 litre engine Hammond? Dont you mean 1.8?
it's awesome
Well produced commercials
I've had one. I think the 8.4 is about right, they aren't that quick up to sixty. It's beyond 60 where they are really rapid, I never had it up to top speed but it got to 130 really quickly. A good car, at least in a straight line!
MarcusTDM They can do it in under 7 seconds if you drive it properly.
I'm afraid not, unless you have a compressor.
MarcusTDM There are videos of it on youtube
I have to admit, there are a lot of videos on TH-cam claiming that there T-Sport accelerates to 60 in under 7 seconds but I'm afraid I've yet to see a video where that is true. You only need look at the time counter on the video. Remember a true 60mph is 66 on the clock. Please don't get me wrong, I am in no way knocking these cars, I absolutely love them, but the performance is delivered in a very different way to most hot hatches, they accelerate hard at speed you want them to.
MarcusTDM If you'd had one, you'd know 8.4 is nowhere near right. I'm not going to claim any specific figure as I've no idea. However, having owned one myself I can tell you that I beat a few Clio 172s, hung on to EP3 type r's and even managed to gain on a Corsa Nurburgring up to around 90mph when the extra bhp allowed it to stretch it's legs.
I didn't know they exist, only type R come to my country as a Japanese hot hatch :\
So.. where is the review?
Near the train station. Looks like a Class 158 stopping.
*VVTLi
says 2001, yet shows 02' plate Focus 🤔
really useless review
That remind me how I'm old 😥
We're all young at heart! 😎
Thinking about selling my 2014 Cooper S roadster for my mates 2003 Corolla T-sport
The steering will be slower lock to lock in the Corolla and make sure you try before you buy it. The brakes where rubbish on my 2004 one, it would over heat the brakes on long motorway runs and swerve left to right under medium braking. Also look for the warping top of the dash board. The best thing was the engine the rest Toyota didn't bother with upgrading.
Why didn’t Toyota offer the facelifted Corolla T-Sport in 5-door form in the UK, like they did with the pre-facelift?
Rather have the 3 door; we never got it in the states :(
Target Demographic, the phase 1 was too soft & boring to take on the type R. 3dr only give it more sporting intentions as well as many other revisions.
never mind that their should have been a choice of automatic gear box like they did with the 1.6 vvti
the sedan version is in my opinion the best looking corolla
i really like the rear looks like a evo 4-6
The teary ones?
lool erm nope the hatchback is more curvy and sport the sedean has aged worse styling wise
For a second I thought his “mother” was Richard Ayoade.
1:20 to 1:27 xD lol
What a.lottle
Price he was then
Vvtl-i please😅
GR COROLLA HAS ENTERED THE CHAT
What he said below me
0-60 in 8.4 seconds is bullshit, i got the aussie version sportivo, toyota underrated the offical figures, stock 0-100 kms per hour is about mid 7 seconds probably quicker.
Toyota claimed a slower zero to sixty time for the corolla in a bid to help the sales of the celica, even though they have the same engine.
+bigdorkification Hooray, other people are spreading my message! Seriously, Toyota are absolute bastards for doing that, do you have any idea how many people come up to me and say "yeah but its slow" and claim I'm talking bollocks when I say "well, actually.."
I feel you guys
Just got a cold air induction on mine. Fuck its quick hehe
Ammarian DV I have all the bits for that sitting in a box on my floor... I'll fit it somewhen! At the same time as the Compressor wheels which are in my cupboard... xD
before Toyota's Gazoo racing and TRD, there's the T sport
TRD had been in the 80s
@@baoquoc3710 i meant the trim
Toyota keep changing their mind to what badge to use. Like you say Gazoo Racing, TRD, T Sport and also TTE (Toyota Team Europe).
The Excellent is all you need
8.4 secs to 60 lol, they are type r eaters.
In reality, it can do mid 7s.
Toyota understated the 0-60 time to make the Celica seem more appealing
my old st202 could do that with only 175bhp and they weigh the same, it was insurance reason they did this prob due the ep3 being on the market at same, ive seen vid of it beating ep3's and fn2's your only really talking 40kg difference btw it and the celica. 2zz puts down better figures than b18 and has more advanced vvt so it is more spread and linear like k20. epic engine in the exige it revs to 8600rpm with different ecu.
dufunk10 I've seen videos of it beating ep3s and others going more even with ep3s but whatever the case it's a much faster car than claimed by the official numbers.
Desmond ah makes sense Thankyou
@@chrischoy9 Yep it was also 5,000 more to buy.
I cant decide between civic ep3 or the corolla
EP3 Civic is amazing car. Toyota is a bit dull after a EP3. I have driven both and the Civic is a masterpiece. I bought one new Dec 01 (one of the first) it was unbreakable. 66k miles in 3 years across welsh country roads and other services it was amazing. I used to top 100mph daily and hit flat out regularly. Tyres were a issue. I'm looking for another right now.
I finally bought a pre-facelift ep3 and amb very happy with it. My only regret is I bought one with high mileage and I love it so that I want to keep it for long time.
Had the Corolla between 2008 and 2014, no problems, 7.3 0-62, I succeeded in using 7.4 liters per 100 kms (Europe), and I had bought it at 153 kms, yep, 95 miles, and sold it at 142 000 kms or 89 000 miles, because it was completely ruined by hail. Absolute terrific car. Apart from a few things : thin leather and not really full wear proof materials used inside. Be sure to put the new valve lift bolts in, but for the rest : no issues whatsoever.
I have the ep3 and I'm very happy with it. However it appears the corolla runs similar performance which is quite outstanding from the Toyota as the ep3 is a really fast car for its segment and time.
@@Joke9972 can you explain what a valve lift bolt is and why they need the new ones?
The car looks like a granny car but boy do they move when they get going
It’s 1.8 vvtli 🤦🏻♂️
Sound is a bit quiet
Trust me it's not
Not once you rev one over 6,000.
Isn't it vvtLI
Variable Valve Timing and Lift intelligent
2019
That’s not a 2001 model.
Even when it was new it looked bland and not like a hot hatch!
Part of the appeal is seeing people's faces as you overtake them and you can see them saying WHAT THE FUCK
My Corolla's just a T3, so I'm not in the category of 'mid-life crisis'!
Mind you, it's still pretty nippy, even for a bog standard model.
I don't suppose it helps anyone, when I say my insurance is just under £300, for Comprehensive (protected) cover, does it?!?! 🤣
Is this what the Pontiac vibe is based off of?
That’s a runx rsi
Not it's not. Very similar but this is th Euro version and its faster
@@M.Audu435 I'm not sure if it's actually faster...
@@jayfujiwara9740 it is faster. Check the specs
Hammond it's a 1.8 you fool
190 bhp. Low weight and a crap 0 to 60 time? Hmmmm....
8.4 ? lol 7.4 okai, stock, trust me
+Honda Civic yeahhhhh ^^
now 7sec ^^ clio 2, 1,172ch haha
Miles in aaaaaaaaa
😂😂
0-60 in 8.4 seconds 🤣
Eh
terrible effort Richard
Before the sex drugs car crashes & Amazon money
Not much of a fucking review
It's a Sub 7 secs car... ..looks like Hammond doesn't know the car he is Reviewing 🥳
Ugly cars
