One terrible thing. Is expensive to buy . Do the math yourself 😂
Why do all Toyota screens look like they are from Playskool?
The screens are smaller then typical and they think they are fooling everyone by having MASSIVE bezels.
@@Cre8tive81my guy did you expect a 12 inch screen?
@@thepcuser5469 Well, if its an 8 inch screen... why add 4 inches to each side? Theres almost more bezel then screen! It's fukn 2023! I mean seriously... look at it! Its a joke! lol
@@Cre8tive81 maybe for the volume nob, the bezel needs to be thick enough to put it
At least its the newest system the camry didn’t get that and is in the 2023 lineup (unlike the chr surprisingly its still a 2022 in their site (at least in the US), its a reason to buy the corolla over the camry for now).
Edit: toyota actually discontinued the chr for 2023
Great review Shari !
Thanks, I appreciate your reviews. Keep them coming.
Great review, and I agree with all your points. Thank you for adding Canadian pricing and Metric fuel estimates.
For the 2023 Corolla LE Hybrid Blind Spot Monitor & Rear Cross Traffic Alert features, a buyer must purchase the $1,340 LE Convenience package.
Very good content as always!
I like it because Corolla LE has 16 inch rims. Honda discontinued practical Civic LX and now comes only with pothole damage prone expensive 18 inch rims and tires.
Nice review. You answered all my questions.
Thank you good dude Shari.
Love this video! Thanks
Would be my perfect 10/10 car if they offer the wagon version.
Toyota sell a 2.0 hybrid in Europe.
I heard Australia gets a hatchback
Great video 👍 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I own 2019 euro spec tourer with the 180hp 2.0l dynamic force engine. Very refined,, quick and impressive fuel economy. The euro also has got a great interior, with red stitching and very good sports seats in the executive trim. Also 580l luggage capasity is very nice to have.
Worth it! without Dealership markup and add-ons
😕
Don't get the car that everyone else wants 😂
@@economiccrisis9267 I never pay above MSRP for a car. Never have and never will.
@@whatwhome6914 what about delivery and processing fee?
Just a heads up, Toyota Safety Sense does not include blind spot monitoring. To get Blind spot monitoring on the LE model you have to have one that comes with the “convenience package”
I've had my Celestite 2023 Toyota Corolla LE FWD hybrid for two weeks now, I love it! Traded in my 2008 Corolla with 372,000 miles on it. Great value, paid $27,000+ here in Maine. Consistently averaging 50+ mpg.
How much did you pay for it and what was the wait time for it?
@@thepcuser5469 27500, I lucked out, I went to the dealer expecting to put down a $500 deposit, they had told me a 2-3 week wait time, but the car had arrived the day before. Love it. Lee Toyota, Topsham, Maine.
I just picked up mine with AWD. I was driving a 20-year-old car before this purchase and I'm finding the technology a bit overwhelming. Love it so far. Toyota makes great cars!
@@dansb2 corolla gang! I own a used 2021 corolla LE
@@thepcuser5469 I hate what Toyota dealerships are doing with the markups, and I think I got a really good deal on mine, so here's my deal for reference to hopefully help with negotiations:
$25.5k OTD 23' hybrid FWD LE (sticker was $25.5k with bs-ish addons). Package was Toyoguard platinum ($700, extra 2 oil, 4 tire rotations, years 3-5 roadside assist), floor mats ($340), door paint protection ($250) and cables for $75. Delivery $1100.
It was the fourth dealership I went to and had to drive 90mins out of town to get there. Was available on the lot (everywhere else was a 2-4 week wait), and it was the end of the month so they were trying to meet a sales quota. What really sealed the deal was having a picture of a lower price offer from another dealership.
Mine is coming next month - can't wait. I had a Prius V 2012 with 300,000km had to sell due to ongoing headlight harness issue (not covered under warranty in canada but covered in US) as well as less than 50% max capacity on batteries. FUll brake job and new tires needed Miss it a lot... but I am sure someone elses spent the money and is enjoying it
It's an overall outstanding vehicle. I get over 50 MPG and just did the first oil change. I needed a reliable commuter car (mass transit is not a viable option for me) plus the ability for extended trips occasionally. I'd recommend it to anyone needing something simple, reliable and efficient. Recommended improvements if anyone with Toyota higher leadership is reading this: louder horn, turbocharged engine, plug in capability, and brighter interior lights.
Adjustable heated steering wheel. Different heat settings. More fuel efficiency. Would be nice too.
turbocharged engine? I hope they don't listen to you. turbocharged engines suck. you get half the lifespan and reliability. clearly you're not the kind of person for this kind of car.
@@GS-mt6zr I bought mine in January. I understand why you might be a turbo skeptic, but all of the vehicles I have owned with turbos...never had an issue.
For the kind of driving I do now, the Corolla would be appropriate. But I will never allow myself to be ripped off by the dealer scumbags who are price-gouging these days. So I will continue to enjoy my 25 yo LS400 on which everything still works and which remains a pleasure to own and to drive.
LS 400 is one of the best cars ever made.
FWB Toyota jacked the price by $10,000.00 over the Prius manufacturer's recommended price!! $38K > $48K, Screw the greedy asses!!
I got my 2023 Corolla Hybrid SE at MSRP
Yeah I've been holding out for the last couple of years but my cars finally died.. Dealers were trying to sell me decade old hyundai's with 185k miles for $12k.. a 2018 rav-4 hybrid with a 108k miles for $28k.. even a 1997 ford F150 with 288k miles was stickered at $9k...
..so i just dropped the ball on this.. LE Hybrid with AWD, basically the cheapest hybrid with AWD for $28.8k out the door.. thats aft a 3k mark-up, and even-though I was basically paying cash they still wouldn't negotiate the price cause of course they want you to finance through them, and 'factory stocking issues', and blah blah blah.. scumbags, but its my 1st new car in 23 years so I guess this is the world I live in now.
@@rogerwilco1777 Sad but true. Free market competition was supposed to have pushed prices down, right? What happened? Price fixing conspiracies? Any states investigating? My guess is no. It's one of the problems with usually not being able to buy directly from the manufacturer as a matter of law in most states. Dealer thieves have bought protection from the very people we hired to protect our interests.
I'd love to own this car! It would be perfect for my wife and I for sure. Great review as well! :-)
I just got the LE with the convenience package, good enough.
This video is only confirming what I thought would be my next car purchase! The guy has gone through many decision options to make this video. Much like a software engineer like me would do! But I drive a Toyota Yaris 2009 with just around 100,000 miles. It has a lot of life still left in it. Does great gas mileage: I have recorded 42.4 MPG on mostly highway traffic!! It's my semi-hybrid!! When I need another vehicle, then it would be something like a Toyota Corolla Hybrid!!
This is the best voiceover I ever listened to.
I'm going for the 2023 Prius, but the corolla hybrid is definitely an extremely solid choice and even more budget friendly
I just received the price tag for the prius, it is marked with 7k -10k market value price tag, bringing the price to 47k -10k before tax and fee, which is insane for a prius @Requinix17
@@ThinhTran-kv2ul my dealer quoted $3k over msrp, I am planning to put in a bid maybe $1k over
@@Requinix17 any update? I love the new Prius but it is so overpriced. That is why I’m watching this video 😂
@@Ayoooo-jx2lo still on the waiting list. Supposedly I started already at #2 in line and now I'm due up. The supply is really trickling in at a snail's pace, here in the northeast at least. And yeah I'm super hyped about it too, the wait seems like forever
@@Requinix17 I would not pay over MSRP. These Stealerships ripping people off.
I got lucky - ordered my 2023 LE hybrid awd 10/2022 and it arrived 12/2022, drive 1400 miles now, averaging 45mpg in the winter (ny). Thankfully had no markup
Well done!
Price otd?
How is the comfort of the ride? What is the size of the trunk? Do the rear seats fold down flat for larger cargo?
This is going to be my next car. I have been driving manual sedan transmissions since I turned 16 in 1998. The last car I bought, my current car, was a Ford Focus Sedan 6 speed manual transmission. Obviously the world is a completely different place since I bought my current car, so my options are much more limited. I am pretty excited about getting this car.
I don't know in Canada but in the US, the starting price of the LE AWD is around 27K in ALL THE DEALERSHIPS because the LE version comes with tons of "optional accessories" like mud guards, Wheels locks, floor mats,etc... All dealers said that they can't take it off because they comes like that. At 27K, is just 2k or 3k less for the Prius Wich have a lot more power and is more fuel efficient.
They're all $28,840 here in Oregon aft the $2.7k markups.. so I just paid $29.7k out the door with tax/title/plates etc.
I liked my prius but I hated the stigma that followed it.. every day it seems like I had half a dozen rednecks, zipping and weaving through traffic, just so they could 'roll coal' or ride an inch of my bumper..
I'm kinda glad to have a 'normal' looking hyrbid, i even plan on pulling off the 'hybrid' emblems just to avoid the extra road ragers, ha.
You most likely only want the floor mats, nothing else
@@thepcuser5469 Not even, best to buy weathertech floor mats.
@@SpruceMoose-iv8un in that case i guess there’s no way ur needing mud guards are you?
One problem with my 2023 Corolla hybrid is the fancy headlights. In the center area directly in front of you are two shadows that stick down into the lit part. The first time I drove the car at night while turning, it literally looked like an animal running across the street directly in front of the car. I jammed on my brakes so I would not hit it. Only to realize it was a defect in the headlight array. My dealer said to me that the lights are not adjustable so just get used to it. Maybe they will fix it in the future. The real problem will be the day an actual animal is running across my path and I ignore it and hit it. This is a real safety problem with this headlight design and get used to it is not a proper response.
Very weird, feel the same about it!
I have that car
LE version
its pretty awesome ✌
Value, value, value!
Best Bang for Buck anywhere.
Great video! Can you actually find this vehicle for sale anywhere? You had mentioned that in a previous video hybrids are going to be difficult to get for a long time.
calling the dealers is the only way.. they'll be able to tell you the shipping and process date.. its usually 7-14 days aft the processing date
@@rogerwilco1777 Thanks
If you can get one of these definitely do it!
Toyota. Topgun #1. ✅
The old car adage “Nobody ever got fired or divorced for buying a Toyota” 😀
Facts:
#1 Reliability
#1 Quality
#1 Resale value
#1 Value for the money
#1 Consumer Reports vehicle
Thanks for noting the “Best Value” model configuration. ✅
I do not own a Corolla, but have rented several over the last couple of years and it's a good vehicle for the price point. Easily hitting the 30s and 40s in mpgs for the gasoline version. I like the ease of maintenance at least in the base model. There is a slight drop off between the first gear and the cvt, but nothing bad. My only gripe with the interior is the smallish cup holders. If I had the money, I would buy it over a Civic in a heart beat.
Corolla is more reliable than Civic too.
They hybrid gets like 50mpg. It's not that much more than the base model. You'd save the money in fuel cost in a cpl years. And that car will last 300K no problem. Twice the lifespan of comparable models from other companies.
I had a chat with a toyota dealer last week about booking a corolla hybrid, the guy told me the waiting time is 18 to 24 months!!!
Depends on your location. Some regions it is 4-6 months right now.
Wtf lol
I’ve been waiting since June 2022 in Toronto. No update whatsoever.
@@hjwscott I ordered an SE AWD Hybrid this week, was told 9-12 months. Southwestern Ontario. Hopefully you hear something in the coming months, the hybrid is only built in Japan apparently so our wait times are through the roof.
I like the appearance of the SE front much better than the LE, but like the comfort of the LE tire/wheel package much better. Nothing is perfect. I have not looked yet, but I'd buy one if they were available at MSRP without a lot of b.s. I like the Prius too, but the A-pillar visibility concerns me, and there is most likely tons of "market adjustment" on those. Edit: I inquired to a dealer about one and they're currently marking up Corolla Hybrids $5k (US), regular Corollas $2.5k, Prius LE' and Corolla Cross at least $5k. Looks like I'll be waiting a little while longer...
Charging over MSRP is illegal in Canada... The government ought to regulate dealers so consumers don't get ripped-off.
Jeff , come get one here in Minnesota or Wisconsin. Sticker price, no .ark up .
Blind spot on se hybrid standard? Or optional package?
I bought a 2023 LE back in December. It is a solid car. OK pick up and handles well. The entertainment system is the new updated one and for me it takes a bit to learn it. Not as easy as my old Prius. MPG is a bit lower than they say, averaging 44 to 45. Biggest issue for me is the actual key, you get a old school key.... I would think that on at least a hybrid you should get keyless.
I think you need to get the LE convenience package to get the Smart Key System. The LE Convenience package comes with the Blind Spot Monitor and the Rear Cross Traffic Alert. If you don't have the Blind Spot Monitor then that might explain why you get the old school key type ignition.
You still get keyless entry, but not the smart key system
44mpg ? How are you driving this thing
I have got about 70mpg...
Forget that computerized crap an old school actual key is the way to go.
Good luck starting you car when your key fob battery dies and you can't figure out why your car won't start.
I have owned 4 Toyota, 3 Mazda and 2 Honda. Although all of them were very reliable overall, the Corolla stands out among these cars I have owned.
Thanks.
I am just amazed by how your videos makes you look like you are really talking to us, while your voice tone is so repetitive that it is a clear read from script.
No script. Just well prepared before driving.
Waiting for corolla cross hybrid!
Coming spring 2023
Hybrid turbo awd corolla. That would be awesome. Plug in hybrid as well.
With new cars dropping spare tires I wonder if the 2023 Corolla Hybrid AWD will have one. Not really interested in a spray fix kit. Also for North America where are these cars assembled? Lastly, here in the US we have access to EZ-Pass for toll roads and bridges. Some hybrids can use the "Green" EZ-Pass which gives discounts on tolls for being fuel efficient. Is the 2023 Corolla Hybrid AWD able to use the "Green" EZ-Pass?
no spare tires but a fix-a-flat kit, invest in a roadside assistance service!
are heated seats available?
Does this have 360 birdview camera and blind spot detection ?
It's normal for the 2023 Corolla Hybrid to be loud on the Hwy at 70mph? IDK how fast you were going on the video but yours seem so quiet, I guess it's just mine? it's kind of weird since I just got my like 3 months ago (brand new SE Trim, only 1500 mi on it).
I hear the noise at onlu about 60mph, 2023 SE. Its the side mirror I think…
Nice review but you keep talking about the car you are driving is an LE maybe so but the red car in the video is an SE
Just saw a dealer list a demo model with 800km on it for 50k CDN. Crazy
Why not show the stick price label detailed information?
I like your reviews. What is your name?
6:22 I thought the base LE only had a 4in digital gauge cluster? Isn't the full only on the XLE?
In canada its on all trims of the hybrid, the US only gets it with the XLE trim, otherwise its the 4.2 inch one
@@thepcuser5469 thanks for the explanation!
@@nighthawk8794 you’re welcome!🤠
I am not a fan of Toyota,but there is just nothing better then a Toyota Corolla pluginhybrid wagon here in Europa to get!Super practical very reliable and resonal priced!
I wish they would make that as a plug-in hybrid Prime...
Ordered an SE AWD in Celestite this past week for MSRP, but I'm cringing at the between 9 and 12 month wait time for it to arrive here in Canada.
Did you get your car? I put a deposit in January of 2024 in Calgary, AB for the exact same model.
@@dproulx222Nope, I ended up cancelling the order over 3 months ago when they revised to the timeline to 18 months. I went to Honda and had a new Civic delivered from the factory in 5 weeks. Hybrid would have been nice, but I was not going to wait 18 months. I needed a car by the winter.
@@ronsmith4325 Thanks for the reply. It's unfortunate that the wait time for the hybrid was so long. I hope I don't it doesn't happen to me. Congratulations on the Honda. In the end you still chose an excellent quality and reliable vehicle.
I want a Corolla hatchback hybrid
Peace . I ordered one . a white one cuz ppl dont want to steal them as often , too easy to see and less accidents cuz of that also. But more speeding tickets ( although i dont have that problem ).
Why doesnt my car come with a block heater ? I live in Canada. aaak ? Dealer said there is an electronic configuration thingy so I dont need one ???????? What do u guys think ? TY 4 ans.
Utilize cruise control to avoid speeding tickets
Is the speaker ai?
Yes... the car to buy. Too bad there are only 3 on the entire west coast - all marked thousands above msrp.
Purchased a 2024 Corolla Hybrid XLE as a replacement for a buy back 2023 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Limited. The Elantra had more passenger and trunk room, more cubby storage, quicker acceleration, larger 10.25" screens (vs 7 & 8 ") and ventilated seats. The Corolla has softer "pseudo leather" seats, a bit better mpg (55.6 after 700 miles), smoother suspension, a more conventional cabin and traditional exterior. The optional JBL 800 watt/9 speaker stereo in the Corolla sounds a little better than the 8 speaker Bose in the Elantra but both fill the cabin quite well. Lastly, the Corolla was $2K cheaper. The main reason for the buy though is reliability as the Hyundai's battery died within three weeks. Pleased with the "boring" Corolla so far.
The Corolla hybrid is not 2 litre, it's 1.8. The AWD version also doesn't have "the exact" economy as the FWD model.
How do u rate the hyundai elentra hybrid against this?
The Elantra Hybrid is okay for short term ownership but not for the long haul. It has a less refined single motor hybrid system and a complicated dual clutch transmission which make it potentially problematic as it ages.
Careful they'll get you in the insurance lol I jist got mine and wow $500 here in cali. Still love my. Corolla Hybrid 2023!
500 for insurance alone ? Or car payment and insurance combined?
@@nbatalkz6635 yeah specially here in california and my previous wet wreckless record don't help. but even with a clean record is about $300 here in Los Angeles.
YIkes, thanks for heads up. If it helps I went with geiko . Much cheaper than other insurances. Defensive worth a look .
@@nbatalkz6635 i will look it up i have a brooker and she helped me look around but i will give it a double search thanks.
Is there a hatchback version of this? Without any extra pricing?
You're kidding, right?
@@GSPirosaki no this car isn’t on my radar, looking to replace my Yaris 06 in a few years and need something similar size but hybrid
@@GSPirosaki also to clarify I know the Corolla hatchback was more expensive than the regular Corolla last I checked.
@@mzshan79he corolla hybrid is only available as a sedan
But if you own a yaris sedan its fine
They have them in Europe
Does affordable mean MSRP and plus $5000 market adjustment...for a few thousand dollars more, you can buy Tesla for $41000 at retail price.
I’d go with camry hybrid le rather than corolla hybrid.
I agree on everything you said but find it interesting that you think that this is the best car on sale, period, yet when you bought a car for yourself in that compact sedan category you went with the Mazda 3! I mean, the Mazda is a great car, but why not get a Corolla Hybrid if you have such a high opinion of it?
Personal preference. I prefer the style and driving feel of the Mazda. The Corolla Hybrid, however, makes more sense for the average consumer. Great question though!
@@carhelpcorner Thanks for the clarification. Makes sense to get the Mazda if driving feel/dynamics is your main priority. My next car will probably be one of those two (i.e. the Corolla and Mazda 3), so your feedback will be useful when it comes time for me to choose one of them.
Toyota should bring Corolla Touring (Wagon) into US !
Id buy one the same day!
dealer markup is too much😞.
I’ll settle for pre-owned Avalon-Hybrid
( more bang for buck 👍)
I dont really understand, why Toyota doesnt sell longer version of Corolla - touring sport in USA. It looks better and is more practical. Also in Europe we still have 1.8l option, which was with MY2023 upgraded and now has more power. Europe is one big village anyway, half the time you spend in traffic jams😂 I already ordered one 1.8l.
the waiting list for all Toyota hybrid models in Australia is now 18-24 months. In case of hybrid RAV4 is now 24-30 months. Basically Toyota has no clue when they will be able to deliver hybrid cars to customers. Most recently, they are delivering RAV4 hybrid cars to customers with only 1 key due to chip shortages. Toyota is victim of their own success and they are delivering their own customers to other car brands who can supply cars. This will not end well for Toyota.
My brand new corolla hybrid took 2 months for delivery
Toyota isn’t the only one effected by the chip shortage. The problem for Toyota is with high gasoline prices hybrids are in huge demand. This is a good thing for Toyota. They already sell more vehicles than anyone else and the lead will just get bigger as they can increase production.
8k cheaper than the new Prius in Canada. Definitely the better buy.
+$30K starting price is Not affordable...!
Yes; it’s ~+$30K for a corolla hybrid LE ( in California)...after all fees/taxes/etc...
...money Is money...!
I dare Shari or anyone else to buy and sell me a 2023 corolla hybrid for $24K ,..!
(Not including Taxes only; Out the door)...!
I’ll do it for 21k!
Let’s hope markups disappear 🗿
Can’t go wrong with any Toyota or Lexus
Elantra Blue hybrid all the way. Basically Same price. Way more power. Dct. Better warranty. Drive one. Blue 25k or limited 29k. Both with blow the Corolla away in every way. Cheers
There's a reason why those Hyundai/Kia products come with such long warranties...hehe. The Elantra may blow the Corolla away with its bells and whistles, but it's not going to hold a candle to the Toyota drivetrain's reliability and track record.
You're going to be spending more money on repairs and maintenance than a Corolla
Sure if you can handle waiting like a year for it
Depends on your location. Some regions it is now 4-6 months.
I only had to wait about a month to get one in Hawaii and at MSRP.
@@jcjung5544 what u pay out the door?
I got LE AWD Hybrid last week. Without any mark up, I paid total of $29K (NYS) including all fees and taxes. It is not that cheap as he describes.
The hybrid will always be more expensive than the ICE one.
Where exactly?
I paid 31 out the door with gap insurance. I paid 500 over the sticker and they wouldn't give it to me without the lojack system they already installed (800). It has weather mats and little mud flaps. They wouldn't budge any more. The problem is people are willing to pay the crazy mark up. So I figured I probably wouldn't get a better deal on it any where else. I can stomach a few grand extra. Not 10 like some people have been willing to pay. I negotiated for hours for that price alone. Even at what I paid I still feel like I did better than most in northern California (which is sad). LE AWD hybrid 2023 in red. Comes with shitty steel rims but oh well.
ToyotaCity, Mamaroneck, NY in Westchester County.
@@Flying_Jorts I just got an offer for a new one for 24 k
More like the 2021 model is. The 2.0 engine sabotaged the stellar gas mileage of the 21 LE model.
What will happen to the lithium batteries in 15-20 years? Replacing the battery will negate all previous savings on gas. From the budget point of view it makes much more sense to buy regular Corolla vs hybrid Corolla.
Most Toyota hybrid batteries last longer than the vehicles and they last a long time.
@@matthewhuszarik4173 On average, you may need to replace your hybrid car battery every five years if you drive it for long periods of time. Yet if you don't, the battery will likely last between 100,000-150,000 miles or between eight to ten years.
@@johndorian3685 Since Toyota warranties their hybrid batteries for 10 years and 150,000 miles I am sure a significant majority of them will last longer than that.
But it takes longer to go back to a gas station for a refill
Toyota… ditch the spare tire in the hatch and put the hybrid in the hatchback already… while your at it, bring the touring wagon! Quit holdin out on N. America plz & thx 🙏🏼 🤙🏼
It's a great value based on MSRP, but with insane dealer markups it's far more expensive than that. With the EV rebates (assuming you qualify), a Tesla Model 3 RWD is a better value.
Tesla is a joke
Shari has not been to a Toyota dealer lately. Any Toyota hybrid has around a $4K markup. Not as affordable as the MSRP would suggest......
Depends where you are. There are dealers that will sell for MSRP. There will be more as the shortage improves.
Some will give for MSRP, some are so greedy they need to put a markup, it ruins the point of a cheap car
mark up
Why not make it the same engine as the new Prius, which is more powerful?
iirc, he said that the corolla is using the same prius engine
@@JoseDiaz-qw7mgit’s using the past generation prius engine (though with more horsepower, i believe 139 vs 121 (new corolla hybrid/old prius)
Price for a basic version of Corolla hybrid in Ireland 33000 euro. 😂
Unfortunately you can’t buy this vehicle at this price. I live in California and Toyota added $ 10000 to the price “ Market adjustment “ and other protections.
Because dealers know there's high demand for these things.
It is the Dealers adding the markup not Toyota.
Try looking again - I'm found an Corolla Hybrid for MSRP in Northern California.
@@MrVenona I went to my local Toyota dealer in Santa Barbara CA and all he had on the lot new were a handfuls of Tundras and a Tacoma. They all had mark ups but only $1000-$2000. They said everything they expect in through the summer is already sold. They were hoping for an increased allotment, but weren’t optimistic.
Can't you buy out of state? I'd look in those mid west states no one lives like Nebraska or Kansas
I've had a deposit on one for months. The best car you CANT buy.
Made in Japan top build quality
So are made in Canada Toyota's and Lexus.
The greater power, better fuel economy, and MUCH better styling of the new base model Prius makes it a better deal deal than this ugly duckling. It's only about $4k more @ $28.5k U.S., and shockingly an actual handsome Prius. Heck, any good-looking Toyota is a miracle nowadays! New base model Prius would be on my list, ONLY IF the Awesome solar-powered AWD 0-60 in 4sec. Aptera doesn't come to fruition. I'm almost certain it's coming, and it's gonna mop the floor with the new Prius for the same amount of $. Was trying to be open-minded by watching this video, but not sold on yesterday's tech (last gen. Prius) in an ugly econo-box with that Toyota 'maw'.
I will wait until the next gen. Hopefully they will redesign that info system. My god that is ugly.
Ya man that bezel is THICCC
@@thepcuser5469 In 1990 we a sony trinitron which had a thinner bezel.
@@craigsteeves4295 only sign that it has really THICC bezels
👍🏻👏🙏🚙
I'd rather spend under 5k and import a toyota blade with the 3.5l v6 in it
Considering its bullet proof reliability you could do far worse.
How is that better than Mazda 3 2.5L (besides fuel economy), and the new Civic?
It's not but it is a better value.
Better gas milage, better reliability, cheaper price, and better resale make for much better value.
@@matthewhuszarik4173 besides the money, Corolla looks, feels and drives like a cheap car, much cheaper than it’s price.
The Mazda feels like a high-end premium car next to the Corolla.
@@michaela3330 Having driven them both I wouldn’t agree with that.
@@michaela3330 mazda is aiming for more of “luxury car” territory, whereas toyota isn’t (except if you talk about the venza) which is most likely the reason
would not buy a car that does not have a spare tire! 3:12

Best value no. Most reliable? Yes.
Maverick is the best Hybrid.
I recently bought a Toyota Corolla and I sold it right away. Their interior build quality is so bad that drive seat rock front and back every time I break. The cabin noise is the worst. Toyota is just selling their cars based on the old engine reliability story. In my experience the driving experience is the worst.
Do you slam the brakes?
@@thepcuser5469 valid question. And the answer is NO. I follow very conservative driving habits.
@@coolbalu19 ok, that is a bit weird that it happened, what do you think is the reason?
@@thepcuser5469 First point I noticed was my vehicle is made in USA. Second point I observed that they are tyring to cut corners with very cheap materials and plastics. To back up my point I also noticed my Car Hood Insulation Pad is also not installed to go cheap.
@@coolbalu19well thanks for the info, maybe we’ll see if its a real problem if other people experience it, so far, I haven’t seen other people experiencing these issues, but we’ll see i guess, all that is probably because it’s made in the USA but as you might think, I am not sure
I really wish the ground clearance was higher and had AWD . If so I would have bought one.
So I bought the Forester touring instead
That’s why I got a rav4 hybrid. Has both your requirements
@@sammyjammy6647 I looked at both the Rav hybrid and the Venza before buying my Forester.
I did NOT like the Rav at all.
I had a 2011 Rav 4WD Limited with the 3.5 V6 and loved it, but the new Rav Limited wasn’t near as nice. The fit and finish wasn’t as good. The seats weren’t as comfortable and the rear visibility was in the toilet.
The AWD system was subpar unless I went with the TRD. I simply wasn’t impressed with it at all.
I loved the Venza but the rear visibility was just like the Rav and the only interior colors on the Venza was Gloomy Grey or Boring Black, which became popular in 1990.
To insure the Venza was a $1K more per year for the Venza and $700 more yearly on the Rav.
I love my Forester Touring with the Saddle Brown leather.
After I sold my Rav and bought my Forester my insurance Dropped by $300 a year. I asked my agent why it dropped and she told me that it was bc the Outback and Forester achieved the IIHS Safety Plus award and are some of the safest vehicles on the road, surpassing Volvo.
Furthermore when I have to take my dad anywhere I would have to fold down the rear seat to accommodate his wheelchair, whereas I can leave the seats up with the Forester.
I’ve been driving Toyota’s for 40+ years and I wanted another one, but Subaru won me over.
Enjoy your day !
@@Doc1855 thank you for your thorough response. I enjoyed reading. You have a good day as well 👍🏻
The corolla hybrid is available with AWD, but ground clearance is still an issue
@@thepcuser5469 Exactly.
That’s why we can’t own a Corolla or a Camry.
We get 4-6 feet of snow every winter and need the ground clearance and an AWD.
