Hi have you ever use heet
I had a 1978 Corolla, she ran forever had the best gas mileage. Stupid me traded in for a gas guzzler Chevy pickup.
@@drunkenpirate3201 never buy American car
So do corollas come in manual?
@@kaiburns4257 They do !
My daughter’s first car was a 2005 Toyota Corolla. She kept that thing for 12 years. Now I bought it back from her when she bought a newer Corolla and I use it as my commuter car. It has 297,000 miles on it and still purrs like a kitten
What do you mean it purrs like a kitten
@@ahahuehafook4207 it means it still Runs perfect with no issues

21 here, started driving at 18. I have a tan '05 Corolla LE with only 130k on the odo and I love it to death.
Ain‘t that sweet! 🐙
that's a weird way to say 94' celica
Problem with that is the 94 celicas are almost impossible to find
That one right there was violation
The longest way
Haha, as a owner of one I can confirm that they're great cars indeed

“The best car to buy is a car that’s not an endless moneypit” - Scotty Kilmer
You mean 94 celica - Scotty Kilmer
@@MyRuger yes but someone already made that joke in the comments
Landcruiser is a big money pit because it's expensive (military grade) and after 10 years your money get doubled return(this thing gets more valuable because of rarity.)
@@garryli2030 who cares a money pit is a money pit you will never recoup your cost
@@sonidoexperiencia2800 doesn’t matter, 94’ celica.
I sold my 2004 jeep grand cherokee and bought a 2007 corolla with 87k miles. Best decision I’ve ever made!
Dang!!
I would had bought the JEEP!!!
Who did you sell it to?!
I want to go buy it from them 😂😂
Great choice. Jeeps are absolutely god awful. Nothing but crap engineering and money sinks galore.
From the worst to the best, excellent choice you made👍
Toyotas are best in auto industry when it comes to reliability, mpg, and cost of ownership.
Makes you wonder why American manufacturers are still focused on features.
@@markgrant5396it’s cheaper than building a reliable vehicle.
@@markgrant5396 DEBTS!!!!!
The 90s Toyota/Hondas were swiss watches. Unfortunately, the reliability has fallen somewhat. Madza vehicles have improved. Opposite of a used Toyota is a used Hyundai/Kia or Chrysler/Dodge.
@markgrant5396 I wonder why also. Features are great, but if engine and transmission are useless, there is no point in owning vehicle.
I bought my daughter a brand new 2016 Corolla and it still runs like new to this day. 100k miles and absolutely no issues what so ever. No leaks or weird noises. It was worth every dollar.
100k is just getting started for a Toyota..
hope she doesnt crash
Dude....it has no miles
....why would it have issues.....
@@lexstacks6944Honda....Mazda...newer Toyotas quality has slipped
@richsweeney1115
Low mileage isn't a bad thing, but the age of the car means more. People drive these Toyota beasts for decades.
Corolla saved my life a few days ago. Got clipped by a big rig and was stuck in his front bumper. Still drove it home
Wow
Maybe it wasn't the car that saved you...🙏
I’ve taken Scotty’s advice each time he says something is the “best car to buy period”. I now have to rent offsite parking because I’m overrun with cars 😂😂😂
Open your own dealership...
or rental agency 😂
Scotty: *if you don’t buy this car, you’re stupid!*
😂😂😂💯
He sure does make liberal use of the term ’stupid’!
If u don't smoke Tarltons, f u!
😂😂😂
She “used” to only spend $40 on gas.
Now in Biden's Green Climate America, it's $40 to fill up every 10 days! My wife drives 30 miles a day to work and back and that's how much she spends at Costco. It used to be like $17-18 just 2 years ago.
@@ScaryTerryCards remember when gas was $2 under obama?
@@SoulAirNot even Pepperidge Farms remembers that. LOL!
You forgot the "D"
@@SoulAir I also remember when it was over $4 during the Bush administration
Bought a 1981 Corolla.
Now driving the 2023 Corolla cross hybrid.
Scotty is 100 percent correct.
I have been an engineer all my life, toolmaker for 45 years
For a teenager? I'm a 33 year old grown man and I'd buy one. I'm over needing to have a super "nice" car to impress women. Nobody cares what you drive!
I’m 22 and just bought a hatchback version. I love it.
Right back at you brother. 30 year old right here
As a woman I am here to tell you the really fast cars are just scary. No girl wants a guy to put her life in danger trying to look cool when she thought y’all were just going to get some Olive Garden.
I once went to meet with friends for coffee with a platonic guy friend and got in his Subaru. Super nice guy. But we got on the freeway and he started going 95 and weaving traffic. Mind you, I had just recovered from a broken spine from another friend wrecking their car with a bad strut on my side of the vehicle. It made me mad as hell.
@@KekeeBlack the friend with the subaru might've been overcompensating due to his insecurity or he was just immature. just my .02
@@justinlafollett9001 How much you paying for yours? Dealership wanted to lease a new Corolla Hatchback to me for $450!
I stared at this guy like he had 10 heads 🤣
My 2013 Corolla is the best car I've owned so far.
Kia Forte drives better than a corolla. I wouldn't buy one though.
@@blackspider9561 What's your point?
170,350 miles 2015 Corolla. Have owned it for 7 years. Never had an issue other than the normal tired replacement, maintenance kind of stuff. Still running strong.❤
My last Honda had about 360k when it was rearended....my 6 spd civic SI has a little over 300k.....newer Toyotas quality has slipped
Same with my 02 Park avenue, gets around 34mpg on highway, comfortable as hell,your point?
@whatsit2ya247
How many things have you had to fix on that lemon? That's the point.
No one is say not to like your car.
Scoty made a,video about Toyota, so people are talking about their Toyotas.
Excuse me Wich Toyotas are no good please?@@richsweeney1115
It costs $40 to fill up a lawnmower these days.
Exactly. He is dreaming.
When Toyota updated the Corolla for the 2017 model year, they added Toyota Safety Sense 1.0 which includes features such as pre-collision system with emergency braking & pedestrian detection, lane departure alert/keeping, adaptive cruise control and sway warning. The Corolla performs well in IIHS crash test
yup was pleasantly surprised when I bought my 2017 Corolla with everything it had
All features my biology has provided an excellent record of guarding against.
Toyota Safe Sense 3.0 is much better
@@sachinnair91 yes they have made improvements when they updated it.
@@davinp which car do you drive now? are you planning on buying a new 2024 Corolla LE?
$40/month? I get 35mpg, go to the store, and I’m at $300/month
I never knew the magic carpet ran on gas
Haha, I was thinking the same thing. There’s no way it’s $40 a month in gas unless the owner doesn’t drive it much. I only get 14 mpg with my car and it uses premium 😬
@Darius Bendasiuk much more
@@charlaurent3989 it used to run on dreams but those have all been broken.
Seriously, The first time I filled up gas in my car 15 months ago cost me $27 for 3/4 of a tank. Yesterday it cost me 40 for 1/2. 4 cyl, 1.9L turbo Mercedes’ A220. I live where the nearest store is 16 miles round trip.
We just acquired a new 2022 Corolla LE for our daughter.
Scotty is correct.
A nice car that is safe and gets great gas mileage.
It is the next best thing to a Hybrid.
Better than a hybrid coz you don't have to deal with expensive exotic repairs and no expensive battery to replace
I’m between this, a Prius and a Kia Soul 🤔
@@Lastdayone Do some more research on the Soul.
They are NOT worth it.
there’s Corolla Hybrid too😊
If you want a boxy vehicle get a gen 1 Scion Xb. Great on gas, cheap to fix when needed. Even the 08s and up are good vehicles, too. My 06 is at 237k miles.
In my country (Pakistan), this is the most famous car and we are still getting the same variant in 2022 with the name toyota grande x. They have upgraded the looks with front and rare bumper, and it looks very nice.
This car is like a mini offroader here in pakistan and the best car to use on rough roads.
I'm not a teenager but after that sales pitch Scotty I Want One!
The North American car market is quite surprising to those of us in other parts of the world. Here in Brazil, Corollas are considered top-tier sedans, typically owned by older, successful individuals. I couldn't help but laugh when you mentioned it as a perfect first car for a teenager. Sometimes, it really does feel challenging living in a developing country.
I agree. I own two, a 2017 and a 2020 Hybrid. I am 59 years old and I expect both cars to outlive me.
I test a drove a Corolla and I felt like Shaq in a Smart car. Also, make sure you get one with a first gear. There's some model years that's only CVT and they have 0 acceleration. They incorporated a 1st gear in the CVT in the later models so you can pull out into traffic without needing a 20 second window.
1st gear was included starting when?
@@DD_LetTheDogsOut 2020 and up but you need to get the se or xse models with the 2.0 engine.
@@ethanmellein thank you, Ethan!!
@@DD_LetTheDogsOut For Corolla sedans, 2020 or newer.
For Corolla Hatchback, 2019 or newer.
@@aldrichemrys Thank you, Aldrich!
I’m thinking of getting a Corolla Touring in the future.
I live in the UK, so we have the Corolla as a wagon. Very practical vehicle.
awesome, wish we had a corolla wagon in the US.
@@ethanmellein I think North Americans are really missing out on wagons, including the Corolla Touring.
Currently, they’re only for sale in Europe and Japan.
@@ethanmellein wagons are ugly in my opinion but more beneficial
That would be on top of the list if I could get one in the US at all
Scotty’s love for Toyotas is like one we’ve never seen before..
😍🥰🤩😘
Working at a Toyota dealership my mom traded in her 14 Mazda 2 for a 17 Corolla. Drives like a dream. Love that thing
That was a smart move
11/09/2023
My 2014 Toyota Corolla S with 220,000 miles was declared a total loss. Best car I’ve ever owned. Ran like the day I took it out the dealership. The only “major”parts that I replaced where the battery, alternator, spark plugs and a $30 o2 sensor. I don’t doubt it would’ve gone to 400,000 miles or more.
Can't go wrong with a Corolla or Camry
That's strange...
I thought I just talked to this guy at a Toyota dealership last week.
That was my first car as a teen, a 1981 Toyota Celica though, loved that car!! After that, I had a 1980 Corolla. Both owned for many years.
Scotty Im past 40 and I can't find a car that beats a corolla either :)
Civic?
@cristianr.s.5537
Not sure it beats the Corolla,
except maybe in sporty options.
Which is exactly why I own one !!!
Let em know Scotty !👏🏻
Have a 01' 5sp Corolla with 166k. Got it from Baltimore. No rust. Got a 100k club service oil change from dealer and said it is immaculate. Runs very good. Just put a double din receiver in it with hands free controls, hope to install steering wheel controls for audio and calls soon. Pretty fun into drive honestly. Very smooth transmission.
Just got a 2011 Corolla as a first car, and I gotta admit I'm in love with it already
Still love my 1993 Toyota Corolla - still running fine and reliable as hell. That's what I want in a car!
How many miles you got on that beast now?
@@CurlyFromTheSwirly Still going strong over 200,000, with only routine maintenance. Those cars are a legend.
@petehall889
Wow, that's super low mileage.
Even the loe average miles of 12K should have put over 350,000 on that.
But I know a guy driving an 88 Camry with only 407,000 miles.
Keep rolling man 👍
We have a 2015 and it got us through 4 years of Alaska Terrain (Only got stuck once) and it is getting us through Germany’s crazy weather and roads. Best car we have ever owned.
I bought an old corolla for my daughter. Twice she drove into the back of a suv and crumpled the hood and smashed the headlight assemblies. Twice I replaced the hood and headlight assemblies. I took a dog leash and a 45 lb dumbbell weight to yank the frame back in shape. She moved to n.y. city and I gave that car to my wife's brother who always had car troubles. He can't believe how it just runs and runs and nothing goes wrong with it.
All my 3 got one as teenagers! You’re right we didn’t even noticed the buying of the gas part.. Now they’re all grown and they still have them.
Scotty, my first new car (1976) was a Toyota Corolla SR5 2 door lift back. Four cylinder manual tranny only option was air conditioning. Took a chance on a new brand in town.
Eight years later it was still running great with 170 miles.
Ran the gamut of different makes cars over the years.
Both, my wife and I have settled on Toyota Avalons.
Sorry to learn 2023 was the last year for the Avalon model!
Thanks!
Omg! Good to hear! I just bought a 2009 Toyota Corolla with 87k mileage! How nice to come across this video to validate my decision to buy direct from seller!
The Toyota Yaris is a Mazda2.
Yes,Mazca makes the rear wheel bearings,i know,had 2 fitted to my car recently lol Front 2 were done a year before i purchased it. heard the bearings are pretty bad indeed,had a 2002 Yaris which i sold last year with 90,000miles,had it for nearly 13yrs....never had any wheel bearings replaced.
From a perspective of a noob driver, I tried learning on the Corolla and Camry, I prefer the Camry so if the price isn’t that different I suggest the Camry
There are minimal differences, they’re basically the same parts too. Go with Camry if you like it
@@KekeeBlack yup. I'd still go with Corolla if I couldn't find a Camry. better than both though is if you can find a Lexus for a bargain price like Scotty did
Good advice Scotty! SMART move on your part moving to TN.
My wife and I have owned 3. We'll over 300,000 miles when we sold and they ran great. Air was cold ect. We topped out with a 1996 geo prism with a corolla engine and Trans. I totaled it with 386,000 miles and ran like a champ.
Scottie you're the mechanic goat 🐐 🙌
I own a Corolla, love it
I loved my 2009 Carolla..wish I still had it. I might buy another one.
1978 Toyota Corolla back in 1987 was my first car.
I can recognize a Corolla wheel and body by just seeing 1/4 of the car haha. Great car!
Terrific first car!
In Australia, if you want to go to the outback, you take a landrover. If you want to come back, buy a Toyota!
Yes first car was a corolla SR-5. I miss that car. So simple yet stylish. It looked good with the side skirts& spoiler( GT-S style & w/ that twin cam 16 valve sticker)
I got me a 2011 Toyota Camry because of your videos. Am enjoying it so far 😄
100% right on the money.
My first car was a 1968 Ford Fairlane. Bought it for $250 in 79.
It squeaked driving down the road, but it got me from A to B.
my mom just retired her 1996 Starlet - still runs actually
2012 Venza 163000 miles. Still going. It was burning oil. I use restorer at every oil change. Now its not burning as much now. Really good car. No issues. New brakes regular maintenance that's it
Just got a 2020 Toyota Corolla se I’m in love
I rented one of these in 2021 for a road trip. I loved it!!
What coincidence. My first car was a used Ford Granada and I spent $40 a month, too. Sweet ride. 😂
Im 18 years old and about to get my dads ‘99 Corolla with 257,000 km and I couldn’t be happier. If only their new 2022 Elantra didn’t get recalled, then I would’ve had the Corolla now. 🙄
Don't bother with Hyundai/Kia, they're literally exploding despite multiple recalls (check Scotty's previous video on exploding cars)
Just solidified my decision
A great car is my present car the 2012 Nissan Altima. A little over 100,000 miles and has never used a drop of oil between changes. The CVT is great and I make sure it stays this way by changing the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles. I hope to get at least 150,000 miles out of my CVT before I have a problem with it.
Low key its the best car in history
Still driving my 91 corolla hatchback with 666 thousand miles
Tell us more about their CVT transmission
Great pick, not sure if I missed it but why not the hatchback for the added cargo? The looks? Just didn't need it? I'm picking between the two right now
I have a 07 Corolla 1.4 VVTi, bulletproof car. I'd like to upgrade when it packs in but that could be a very long time away!
I got a 2017 Corolla basic maintenance is all runs strong just get in and go and my other car is a Mustang not getting rid of that either.
These have come a long way. I remember my first car was my uncle's hand me down 90s corolla. Thing had a 2 speaker sound system, and I had to floor it from the beginning of the on ramp to be able to merge onto the highway lol
Yesir Scotty; I’m 20 got mine brand new 2022 last year when I was 19. Gotta say very reliable so far and nice on gas. Cheaper route too you could say compared to other brand new vehicles. Glad I got mine
My first car and I just got it is the current Tacoma TRD PRO 2022 with everything on which I do admit to overpaying for it but I love it especially with the 1.5 inch Toyota lift kit.
Fact my driving improved a lot after driving someone’s corolla in 2019 for few times the steering and drive was so smooth and I learned how to properly check rear and side mirrors plus how to park perfectly my car is suzuki much smaller still I sucked at it after driving corolla i know how to handle better even larger SUV’s agree with Scotty here that it’s should be first car
If it came in RWD, I’d have one. Reminds me of the old 325i.
Corollas are great. Even better without the CVT, but that’s true for every vehicle.
about to buy this exact white corolla sport 2015
I had that exact same one as my first car, never one issue with it😆💎
We have a 2018 Corolla that we bought new and we love it. Great road trip great on gas and has the power to keep up with traffic
2004:Camry. 214k miles. Has a long list of "needed" repairs, but she purrs along just fine. Never let me down.
I have a used 2010 mk Jetta 2.5 ... I am happy with it much better than corolla if the gen ... More solid, lots of aftermarket performance parts, all wheel drive and proper rear independent suspension setup as opposed to corollas torsion beam
Good idea! My oldest has a Corolla and it's been great for years and years. Middle child is getting something different. What about an early 2000s Taurus or Sable with low miles in the South with no rust and low miles?
Thank you Scotty, you’er info is much appreciated.
The only disadvantage of buying the older model Corolla (2014-2019) is that has the outdated infotainment system (Toyota Entunes 2.0) which doesn't have Android Auto and Toyota isn't updating it
Which means nothing to me.
aftermarket head unit $200-$300 done
that good that mean no spyware in it
Toyota stood its ground and refused to allow Google to spy on it's customers and it was a deal-breaker...to me that's a selling point.
I prefer the Camry for that extra space (I'm 6'4" and am used to larger sedans) but you can't go wrong with either.
you're taller than 99 percent of people in this world so no wonder lmao
@@sachinnair91 I mean the Camry also has more trunk space, as well
@@ianpomfret4876 2 more cubic feet, not a big difference
@@sachinnair91 More crap you can fit in the back is more crap you can fit in the back. Also, that difference has shrunk since older models of Corolla and Camry, ngl.
We have a lot of roads that are not paved. Some are gravel, sand and or mud. Will they be ok on these roads
Yes with the proper tires
Best toyota spokesman
Your right Scotty toyota Corolla are great 👍 vehicles, it takes you from A to B with no problems. I have a 2013 Corolla with 180,000 miles NEVER had no problems.
yea sadly in chicago you really do need the awd system because you will get stuck in the snow with rear only or front wheel drive
I'm 59, past mid age crisis ;) , recently downsized to a corolla (2.0 TS)... now i wonder what took me so long to get to senses :)
Scottys idea of "zippy" and mine are apparently very different. Nothing zippy about a toyota corolla, unless you're racing people on skateboards
You're definitely one of those lames who weaves in and out on the highway.
