Love the 10th Gen to be honest. They still have supporting aftermarket parts. As compared to the 11th Gen it’s so limited.
Yeah that is true. And I didn’t know the 11th gen was worse then the 10th gen in aftermarket support.
In my area, you can’t find a 10th gen Corolla for under $7k. Dealers are selling them for over $12k
Yeah it’s crazy, because I thought I paid a lot when I bought mine about 18 months ago. And I paid a little over 5K.
@@BrandonStellmach same 6k for mine bought it Jan 2021!
Why would you go to a dealer they mark up everything
Bought a salvage 2011 S with the sunroof, pretty awesome car, has never asked for anything more than change of oil and regular maintenance parts. Only wish it would’ve been a manual. 133K and still going strong. It may look a bit dated nowadays, but it looks way better than it’s contemporaries like the Elantra or Civic IMO
That’s awesome! I wish I could of found an S with a manual transmission too! They are really hard to come by. I had to settle for a base model with the 5 speed!
But totally agree they are dated, but they are still nice looking cars for the age!
@@BrandonStellmach the beautiful thing about your car is that being the base, you got a totally blank canvas to modify it at your own personal taste! It’s looking great btw
@@iansanchez7489 it’s nice because it’s a blank slate, but one thing I hate is that I don’t get all the creature comfort features like electronic locks and windows!
another good vid.. in reply, just wanna say.. ,my very first car was a 4th Gen 1980 Corolla (hatchback) and I loved it… repainted & made some other minor mods.. drove it until maintenance costs exceeded the value.. (developed engine and exhaust leaks and such) then i owned a few other cars.. 88 Toyota Celica hatchback.. then a Honda, a 1.8 turbo Jetta 5speed, a Lexus 5speed, then Infiniti..and now, back to my current car.. a 10th gen 5speed 2009 XRS 2.4, which i’ve owned longer than any other car prior.. i agree it’s one of the easiest to work on and most reliable. I’ve modded mine in a few ways, not as many as yours, but I really do love driving it. The only thing I really wish is that there were more aftermarket taillights available and I wish I could do more with the front grill than is currently possible.. anyway, that’s my 2 cents on the topic.. i’ll be keeping my 10th gen for as long as possible.
It just shows you that Toyotas will always be the best choice! And I agree, i wish there were some more after market support, because like you said the tail lights you have pretty much 1 option. And the grille can’t do anything with it.
I’m binging your videos bc I’m buying my friends 2009 Corolla base model in white. It looks like a grandma car right now, but with your help I feel better about making it bad ass 😅 thanks !!!
I have plenty of videos and modifying your corolla!
Just paid $2,000 for a timing chain kit(all sprockets, timing chain, timing chain guide), spark plugs, oil change, and a valve cover gasket at 263,000 miles. I’m ready for another 100k
Hey Brandon, Amir here from Pakistan. I recently bought this car few months ago. it's on my Wishlist for quite some time but couldn't get it due to budget constraints. I got it for around 9K (USD equivalent amount from PKR). This is very successful corolla here in our region too. Although, there is a difference. Mine is 1.3 Manual called GLI. You were calling 1.8 lil engine. Not sure what would you call a 1.3 :D
That’s great that you got a corolla!
And it seems that only the corolla in Pakistan got the 1.3L engine. I would imagine it’s just as good at the 1.8L, just doesn’t have as much power as the 1.8L. I know in Europe they also have a 1.6L. So every country seems to have a different version of this engine!
@@BrandonStellmach We do have 1.8L variant too. It's called Altis. 1.6 variant also comes, one with auto and one with 6 speed Manual transmission. My 1.3 gives around 12 Km/ litre in city. I am impressed with the mileage you get. Although, that may comes down to driving condition. I live in Karachi it's very very densely populated and traffic. Average speed is hardly 30-40 Km/h. I haven't been able to take it on highway yet.
Wow that’s nice that you get to have options between all of the different models. I’m the USA we only have the 1.8L option.
I`ve sold mine 5 months ago now im lookong for another one to make a project that came to my mind hope it works corolla best car in the history in Iraq car's prices are different from the rest of world i've sold mine which was at good engine and sus. condition but the body needed some polish and paint job for 9400$ 2009 standard.
Yeah corollas will always be a great car for anyone. Wether you want it as a reliable daily, or a great project car.
But that’s crazy you got that much for a 2009 corolla. I spent about $5000 on my corolla.
Hey, so I just recently bought the same car just the S model then my gf got pregnant right after, and I noticed the car seat in the back. You think I can fit a stroller in the trunk and still keep my sub back there?
Well I have a pretty slim sub in my trunk, which I think it’s probably about 8 inches thick. But I can fit a stroller with that in there.
@@BrandonStellmach oh ok thanks man, I appreciate it. Keep it up I love the vids btw
hey bro , did you know what its the code color for this car , a need to buy a new bumper but I need the code , if you know where can I buy the bumper I would appreciate It
The paint code for my car is 1G3, and I probably get one from eBay, unless you want a Toyota part, then ordering it from the dealer would be best.
The interior color is terrible..are you gonna paint it? 😆😝
Yeah I plan on trying to either paint it black, or try to find black interior pieces and swap them in! Because I hate the tan interior too!
@@BrandonStellmach Will you sell it eventually or keep it for as long as possible? I bought a 2008 Corolla 4 months ago, so far it's been a great experience, very comfy and stable car, the engine is fuel-efficient, quiet and has enough power for a 1,6 engine.
I plan on keeping it until i can’t fix it anymore. Plus I have gone to far past stock, where not many people would want to buy a car like this. Unless they like what I have done!
We now get the 1.8 ltr here in Namibia in the Corolla Quest (manufactured in South Africa and only sold there and in neighboring countries).
It’s an upgrade from the 1.6, and it’s really bulletproof as you said since the 1.8 is sold world wide.
That’s good that you are able to get the 1.8L engines now, because they are the best engine in any corolla so far!
@@BrandonStellmach that's what I'm rocking with
My mom have a 2010 toyota corolla it is beat as fuck, she is doing like no maintenance beside oil change and it is still working like very fine
These corollas are bullet proof! Just doing oil changes is usually enough for this engine! Nothing else breaks on these cars!
I will answer before i even watch the video...
It's a Corolla so it's worth it 🔰😎
Totally agree! Corollas are the best!
He didn't mention he has a millenial Gen Z anti-theft device on his Corolla
😂 😂
Have a 2012 S model in black and its for sure the best aesthetically designed corolla
I agree! They have a nice design.
We had three 10th gen corollas at different times
That just shows how reliable they are!
@@BrandonStellmach they sure are. I daily drive 2017 11th gen now but I like the 10th gen more
The 11th gen pretty much have the same drive train other then the CVT transmissions. But if you get and 11th gen manual you will be just as reliable!
my dad has a 2013 corolla, s tier, its manual ofc. I learned to drive manual in it and its a pretty nice car for an economy car, there like nothing bad I can say about it, ofc aside from speed. But the steering wheel on that car is absolutely perfect, you kind of get a sporty feeling. I do wish he got the sun roof option though. Basically I would also recommended the generation for anyone whether it's auto or manual transmission.
Yeah I totally agree, these cars are great car for anyone! Wether your learning how to drive a car, or just need a nice daily!
I was thinking about getting a luxury car but I’m falling in love with my 2018 Corolla at first I thought it was plain but after seeing all the mods on people cars and how much gas I’m saving I’m like I’m keeping it lol.
Yeah, that’s what is nice about having an economy car. You save so much gas!
And since so many people have corollas, they have so many aftermarket things to add to them to make them your own!
Got a 2010 matrix base model. In a 5 speed. They’re awesome fun cars while being reliable.
That’s awesome! I think the matrix can be modified and look really nice! I like the hatchback look!
The main dig on mine is the 4spd auto. Not my choice. I got it used last yr. Garage queen, woman owned 41k miles. If you got up a small incline on the interstate it kicks it down 2 gears and holds it for a bit. Other than that it's good. My previous gen with the 1zz burned a little oil. It currently has 310k miles. I m on my 4th corolla. 89gts, 94 1.8, 04, 12 S. They are the best. The 89gts had the 4age was a 7200rpm screamer. Other complaints is 132hp and 2800lbs is pathetic. They say is fast, cheap, reliable. You can only chose 2 so lol
Yeah the 4spd is a little dated but it’s still a reliable transmission.
And I have heard some good things about the 4age engine. I would love to get a 89GTS.
But that’s always the caught, can never get them all! 😂
@@BrandonStellmach I got it in 04 out a guy yard for $500 with a blow head gasket. I also got a 87 supra turbo targa for $800 when I was 16 in 04. It had a blown fuse and sat for 5yrs. I wrecked it damn f&f movies lol. I ve never seen a ae92 rolla or mk3 supra on the road since 2008
@@noway57 I would do anything to pay those prices for those cars. Whether they work or not! It’s horrible to know you don’t have them anymore!
I have 10th white corolla and I want some advice how to make it like your cars I means sport, but mines is white soooo
The best advice would be just to start on the small things and slowly build up to what my car is like. My corolla is 2 years of progress!
Just bought it a year ago, did you have the problem with the high idle when you shift
I know these corollas are known for having idling issues, but never heard of an idling issue after shifting. That has not happened to me.
Owned my 2013 Corolla Special Edition since April 2020 so far no problems yet good car
That’s about the time I bought mine. And I have not had any problems either. Expect for exhaust leak, because this was a northern car!
@@BrandonStellmach im 2nd owner my car has been in New York its whole life where i live 92 thousand miles
@@Roll13lava that’s awesome! Hopefully the first owner took good care of it!
Is that aircon panel with all the knobs standard? Or did u have that replaced?
The AC controls are all standard, did not replace them.
Great video...just keep your hands in your pockets next time hahah #Whatdoidowithmyhands
😂 my hands have a mind of their own!
I have an 11th gen I bought new in 2016 this is inspiring me to mod it a bit. I had an Audi before this so I always so my Corolla as a dad car. But it is 6 speed so maybe it’s time to have some fun.
A lot of inspiration in your videos 👍
Thank you!! Really appreciate it!! 🙏
Just got my '10 Corolla S 2 months ago. Had 113,600 miles on it. Is in fabulous shape inside and out. Only thing I replaced is stereo and spkrs. Love the ground effects all around. Going to keep it stock all around. Love all about it.
The 10th gen corolla is a great reliable car! Not many problems can go wrong with it.
Best car I ever owned
Totally agree! 👍
Picked up and bought outright here in California. Was assembled her in the late Fremont plant. I’m a Ford guy as I have 92 GT Mustang and 2010 F150 FX4 and yah I use my vehicles before my Ford Focus 2012 Titanium hatch was destroyed by a careless driver pulling out in front of me in a 50 zone.. the Focus Manual transmission and 230 thousand miles on her ran flawlessly. I got an 09 Corolla while I wait for my Ford Maverick order. Corolla and it seems good car.. good on gas 37 mpg.. slightly better then my Titanium Focus with 18 inch wheels and stock sub lol but I digress.. For and Toyota are neck in neck with reliability but Toyotas are wayyyy overpriced for what you get. Still Ford and Toyota over anything GM and Nissan. Honda is ok but not reliable like Toyota
I agree I think Toyotas are way over priced for what you get, Toyota doesn’t offer many amenities on their lower cars like the corollas and Yaris. But you still pay a lot for not much. Except for their reliability!
09 & 2010 is the better looking version corolla up to 2013
I totally agree! 👍
@@BrandonStellmachThe better looking version come out 2014
@@2oneilnah
Been binged watching your videos, I currently have a 2009 Corolla and watching you been hyping me up on making some mods to it
That’s awesome! Thanks for the support! I hope my videos have given you some good ideas!
hey bro im planning to buy this. I'm wondering of its reliability and all in comfort inside the power buttons, steering etc. Is it worth it? just for daily use thanks!!!❤ i cant decide between the 8th gen civic or this corolla😵💫😵💫😵💫
If you get an LE or higher, they are much nicer because they come with electric everything. My car is a base, and it did not come with electronic door locks, or windows.
But as for reliability, these are great cars, I have seen multiple of these cars reach over 250k with out any problems.
But one down side to these cars vs the civics, the civics have a much better after market support, for mods and such.
The civics tend to be cheaper, while the corollas seem to cost a little more for about the same car.
But I love Toyotas, and I never had any problems with mine, so I would recommend the corollas! As well I daily drive my corolla!
But… the civics are nice too!
130K miles on my 2013 and the only problem has been the button console on the drivers side door snapped out of its mount and I have to jigger it sometimes to use the switches... I should get around to fixing that one day. I'm 60, and I intend for this to be the last car I ever buy... I pity the fools who don't drive Toyotas!
Yeah that’s pretty good! Pretty much no mechanical problems at all! Sounds like a minor problem that shouldn’t be to bad to fix!
Short answer, yes. The rest of the world had ones superior to the North Americans, these manual ones are amazing, you guys have a lot less options than we get including the 6 speed gear box
Yeah it seems like other countries have way better options for the 10th gen. While in America they are basic.
I actually have a 2010 Corolla S. It’s my very first car. Overall it’s a nice car. Just hit 100k miles the other day. Slow but I like to cruise anyways lol.
That’s awesome! Got plenty more miles to go!
I have an 09 since 2016 all I have ever replaced is alternator,battery,brakes and tires and I'm not ready to get rid of it
That’s pretty good. And knowing that all those are wear items, you knew they were going to need to be replaced sooner or later!
Im more into having the latest cars but this corollas have good aftermarket parts tho, just a little too basic for my liking
Yeah the newest cars are always really nice, with many features.
But what’s nice about being basic, is I do t have to worry about many things breaking or going wrong!
Obviously the 10th gen ones are the best,powerful,good looking and all the stuff
Exactly! Very true!
How many miles did you buy you Corolla at? And how many miles is it at now???
When I bought the car it had 113K, and now I have over 134K on it!
I like your car!
And that stereo!! Do you have the link to buy it by any chance!l?
Thank you!! 🙏

Hi me again lol where did you get that bottom bumper lip? I have the 2010 and my little stock valance things are starting to make me cringe.
Here is the video of me installing the bumper lip on my corolla. And the links are in the description if you want to buy them. I ordered them from eBay.
th-cam.com/video/zVUD_hzvQ-4/w-d-xo.html
@@BrandonStellmach Thank youuuuu sir :D
When you installing a turbo!?
Hopefully soon!!!!
Sup bro? What’s the engine code on your 1.8L if you don’t mind my asking? Just doing some research on 10th gen corolla engines specifically on the ZZ and AZ family, before buying one myself. Cause I’ve read that they’re kinda an oil burner. Tnx!
So I will probably say every 1.8L engine you look at, will say something about oil consumption. They all start to after a while if the engine didn’t have regular oil changes.
But the 1ZZ and 2ZZ are really good engines, but are found on the 9th gen corolla. With the 2ZZ being a high revving engine, that was only found in the XRS model corolla and Matrix.
And the 1ZZ was replaced by the 2ZR engine on the corollas in 2009. Which is the one that is in my car currently. Some people will say that the 2ZR is one of the best engines in the corollas. And others say the 1ZZ is. But both really good engines.
While the 2AZ engine which was normally out of the Camry. (Not sure which gen Camry) but they also stuck that engine in the 2009 and 2010 corolla XRS. This engine probably is the worst when it comes to burning oil. But again if taken car of, it would last longer.
@@BrandonStellmach such a helpful insight! Currently, I’m about to have the opportunity of owning a corolla with a 3zz-fe engine since I’m based in Asia. It’s a bit reassuring knowing that the 3zz-fe is not rebadged 2az-fe. Cause back here it’s costly to have a engine rebuilt on a car. Thanks bro!
@@johndoug4794 it makes since that you are able to get a 3ZZ, because in US, we were never offered that as an option. But from I have read the 3ZZ is very similar to the 1ZZ. So it should be a really good engine!
Did you end up taking off the rear sunroof spoiler??
No I still have it on, this video was recorded a few weeks ago.
Yes! Probably will outlast you until u past away... lol
It definitely will, as long as it’s taken care of!
Did the carbon fiber wrap on the dash not last?
It’s still on there! It’s been holding up good,soon I plan on doing the rest of the car(:
Have 2 9th gen. Would love to get my hands on a 10th gen manual.
I have been looking into getting a 9th gen XRS, they look like a bunch of fun with the 2ZZ engine!
But the 10th gen is probably a bit more reliable of a drive train even at high milage then the 9th gen. Because I have heard that they start burning oil around the 150k miles.
Hey bro where did you get that spoiler?
Here is a old video of me installing the spoiler, and there should be a link in the description if your interested!
th-cam.com/video/9e-izKVA4Yk/w-d-xo.html
Got the 2012 model with 1.4L, pretty happy with it but it is a small engine
In America we don’t get a 1.4L engine. But I would imagine it’s still a good engine!
Hope so, feels quicker then it is
It is very reliable.
Yes totally agree! 👍 👍
1 whole year with my 2012 Corolla Le . Love it and slowly modding it
That’s awesome! I know I love mine and I have had it for over a year!
I have a question, can you mod the gear shift frame box? It looks ugly and idk if you can mod it
Yes no doubt
Agreed!
Awesome video 🔥
Thank you!! 🙏
