Toyota Corolla Mechanical Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2019
- Here's a detailed review of the mechanicals under the hood and body of the latest 2019 Toyota Corolla!
In this video we will take an in depth look at the engine, transmission, braking, electrical, cooling, safety, exhaust, suspension and emissions control systems to see how they work to make the car function and how easy it would be to perform repairs on if owned in the long term.
The Toyota Corolla has been a best seller and the latest generation based on the TNGA platform has brought a vast departure from previous generation in terms of mechanicals. The rear suspension is now independent, the CVT transmission now has a physical first gear and the engine makes use of new technologies such as exhaust gas re-circulation (EGR), electric water pump and thermostat, a cam driven vacuum pump for the brakes, direct and port injection and an electric VVTi-e actuator.

My first hand at reviewing a car!
What do you guys think? Would you like to see more reviews like this one? Any suggestions for improvement?
Thanks and enjoy!
speedkar99 I seriously can’t thank you enough for all the stuff you give us. Just.....thanks, dude
This is the kind of reviews we need!
Your review is THE MOST in depth of any that I have ever seen, very unique and no other can compare, especially with your knowledge and your hands-on top to bottom review. There are a few good new car reviewers out there, but it's even fewer who even bother to open the hood if at all... Most of them are just "sales", but you are the only one with the knowledge to back up what you are showing the viewers. 👍👍👏👏👏👌
Man! i would love to.
Very nice review, we expect reviews in used cars too, so we know pros and cons of that particular model's.
This type of review is exactly what was missing out here. Great idea.
Agreed! I want to do more...but getting someone to lend me thier car to mechanically analyse it would be difficult
Very interesting take on car review, please consider doing more of these
I sure will. What type of cars should I review?
speedkar99 Honda Civic
speedkar99 Camry
Is 300
@@speedkar99 17~19 Elantra Sport
Clean hands, clean toothbrush, and without assistance from any of your family members; another great show nonetheless. Thank you so much speedkar99.
Yep quite a different take for me reviewing this one.
😂😂😂, a number of car reviews who review number of cup holders.....i liked that one 😂😂😂😂😂😂
But hey it's true...cupholders, Android auto and sporty driving sums up the automotive press haha
@@speedkar99 thats very true, most reviews now adays major the minor...and 90% of them are biased...
Finally some really car review
Savage wasn’t it 😂😂
all the important features of 150k € car. dont forget quirky doorhandles
Good job! You’re the first youtuber That explained the engine bay so well! Bravo!
Thanks for the compliment. I haven't seen any videos like this so let's see where this goes!
This is the type of review that people like me would want to see. If you plan on owning a car for 15 to 20 years it would be great to know how hard the car will be to service. Being a guy who likes to do as much of the repairs and maintenance themselves this type of review is very important and would impact my buying decisions. Thanks.
Thanks. That's the thing...this type of review is for the mechanically minded ...not every Corolla driver cares haha
Meanwhile other reviewers show interiors and and low profile options. Great Job dude
Thanks very much!
Now that's a real car review for us mechanical types. Well done!
Thanks
Yep it's for gearheads alike
Keep going man you're awesome😍😍
Thanks for the encouragement
You are great at this
This is the kind of review I expect to see when I consider owning a car for that long.
You go into such specific details that no other reviewer even attempts.
Of course, know your audience, most people won't even know about any of this, but the engineers and car nerds will definitely appreciate it.
I learned more about this car in the span of 11 minutes then I would from any other source.
Keep up the good work!
You are welcome. While it pertains to longer term & technical buyers, this type of mechanical analysis are rare and we need more of it because cars aren't purchased for very long and only mechanics ever get to see this stuff
WOW! The level of complexity explained simply is fantastic! Nice touch adding serviceability comments as well. Great job! Subscribed!
You are welcome!!
Doing mechanical reviews for cars is a fantastic idea, and you do it extremely well. Please make many more videos like this!
I sure will try! What other cars would you like to see?
@@speedkar99 : Well, if you're taking suggestions, I would love to see mechanical reviews of any of Honda's and Toyota's current-generation hybrids.
Like any other videos you've done, this is another great one.
It is so refreshing to have a review like this since not many people can do this, only those with technical expertise such as yourself can!
Besides being very educational, it will become a vital source of information for those who are thinking of buying this car, as well as something to look back on in the years to come from historical point of view - beneficial to much wider audiences than you think.
Thank you once again for another great video and keep up the good work.
Agreed, though since it's technical, the audience might be narrowed. How many Corolla drivers care about it's Mechanicals out there?
@@speedkar99 You're right, however most come to see your channel are technical minded (as it could be seen from all the comments that has been posted) and those could also advise others who are not that technically minded when want help to buy a Corolla.
I am really grateful for videos like this.
My disappointment for this engine, out of all plastics, the plastic cam cover. GM started this trend and Toyota kind of followed, which is a shame.
I currently run a 3S-FE Avensis which has covered over 410,000km without any overhaul. Everything metal, that's why it was possible.
Many thanks once again for series of great videos!
This was the best review I've seen (and I watch a LOT of them). Please do more like this!!!!!
Wow thanks!
It's only my first 😏
This is my kind of review. Such a lot of info in just 11mins. Good job!
Outstanding!!! As others have said, would love to see this type of review on older cars too, maybe even pointing out common failure items and how hard to repair. Thanks for doing this type of review. Really appreciate it. Subscribed.
That would be good.
I probably wouldn't want to deal with breaking plastic fasteners removing the covers though lol
This is awesome! I hope you'll be able to make many more of these to come, a great change of pace from the normal kind of review.
Thank you
This mechanical review idea is GENIUS. Please do more of them!
I sure will thanks.
I really loved how you showed everything behind the covers, please consider doing this kind of reviews for more newer cars
I sure will. Hopefully I'll be able to remove the covers though!
DAMN! This was an awesome and unique review. I haven't seen mechanical reviews yet and I think this is way better to watch than those other reviews that are flooded on YT about "features". SavageGeese was the only one that actually looked under the hood and body but it was often a bit brief. Great channel too!
You hit every question and explained it even with those highlighted diagrams. I always wonder how some of these new cars are to work on and this has so much damn plastic. Looks overly complicated for a Toyota. Keep up this style of reviews, subscribed for more. I think you just tapped into in untouched market on YT. Good luck! Do more Toyotas please. Maybe a Tacoma
Thanks for the compliments and encouragement.
I've seen savagegeese reviews but they aren't as mechanically detailed
Seeing how stuff works together excites me so I decided to read up and try making a video to see if there are like minds out there...and they are ...alot!
I don't work on car technicalities but rather cloud computing technicalities, so I did enjoy your video. I do love cars and this is a very detail review....Awesome job!!!
Thanks!
Holy mother of reviews. This is just what i have been missing all my life - a complete in depth review with the nitty gritty covered. Top job man. Keep it up.
Thanks! What other cars would you like to see?
speedkar99 to start a Honda Civic review and then a direct comparison between these two would be sweet.
Also may i suggest an improvement? Invest in a dedicated mic to clip to your shirt, it will make a major difference. Good luck!
speedkar99 BTW the sound of that GDI pump sounds quite unsettling.
All cars should have in depth reviews like this. What a great video!
That would be awesome
This has got to be the most famous toothbrush in the world!
Perhaps it is. Little does my brother know...
@@speedkar99 Thanks for the videos, btw, keep it up, amazing stuff and really useful :D !
Excellent... Recently I have seen several car reviews, not even lifting the hood and just one sentence about the motor.
Agreed right!
Best car review I've ever seen. I'm considering a 21 Corolla with the 2.0 and as another type of mechanic, this is incredibly helpful in understanding the systems. And I'm not even going to mention the Reach toothbrush! lol
Glad you found it helpful.
This is the most detailed engine review I have ever seen! 😍 Please post more videos like this. I subscribed after 15 seconds.
... But these cars has so much to Break and go wrong. The average buyer will not be able to do 75% of maintenance on their car.
Thanks for the feedback!
I don't think it's fair to say everything that's new or made of plastic will break...only time will tell
I really enjoyed this different perspective on a new car review. If there is one thing I learned about the Corolla is that Toyota made almost every accessory electronically controlled: water pump, oil pump, power steering, valve timing, etc.
Thanks, I enjoy looking at cars from a mechanical perspective as well. Electrification is the future that we have to embrace.
Best REAL car review on UA-cam!
Thanks!
I always look for engine diagrams with labeling online and here is an entire video explaining it all! Most either don't know enough to make a video like this or don't want to share it. Thank you for sharing!
I have been watching car videos on UA-cam for some time now. I have never seen an explanation of the mechanicals before. This is excellent. You have a new subscriber!
Thanks for subscribing!
Why do you normally watch reviews from, I'm curious? I watch some too
speedkar99 because I love cars!
Pls keep making this type of videos. This is a proper review.
Thank you
I will try to keep them coming
That's what I call a real "review". Awesome man keep it up.
Thanks! I'll try to work on more in the future.
This is exactly what I want out of a car review. Thank you!
Awesome thanks
This the kind of review lacking with most car reviewers these days , excellent job
Thanks , I agree
Really smart idea for a review!
Keep em coming, Thank you so much!
You are welcome! It's certainly different
Hopefully, i will see these kind of mechanical review videos in the future. Thank you a lot for this meaningful channel !
Glad you enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to filming more too! Thanks
@@speedkar99 thank you, my teacher :D
Bought one of these brand new with manual transmission in 2018. Havent had a single issue! Absolutely love this car.
Absolutely amazing review! You go through everything that us gearheads really want to know about when looking at vehicles. I would love to hear more of your likes and dislikes after the rundown and your general opinion on what your reviewing.
Thanks I'll keep that in mind, though I tend to stay neutral
Finally a channel for real car fans. Engineering Explained is cool too.
Sure is 🤓
You, Sir, have another new subscriber. Keep up the good work and I will be watching a lot more of these highly informative auromobile instruction videos.
Thanks for subbing. Video ideas welcome
Fantastic, in-depth, and educational! What a great job explaining all the features.
Thanks
Wow, thank you for this video, it's nice to know a little bit of mechanical side of a car.
Good video! This little car has a lot of tech! Keep going with these reviews.
It sure does have alot of technology compared the Corolla from say 10 years ago!
Best car review ever! Keep going!
Wow thanks for the feedback.
Just subscribed. First vid I've seen doing this kind of comprehensive yet easy to understand review. Kudos to you sir! Hope you continue making vids like this.
Thanks. I sure hope to continue
This is what I’m looking for when I buy the car! Pls do more
Finally..a pressure sensor to measure fuel pressure..i've been waiting 20yrs for Toyos to add that feature!
Amazing video. Instant sub. Finally, aeons past, youtube recommends something good.
Thanks for subbing
Much needed fresh look at car reviews. U got urself a nice niche here 👍
I sure did. I really want to get back at it.... waiting for the lockdown to be eased
Great review ! I appreciate the pace , very informative and concise!!
Graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree and while they did teach me fundamentals this is what I needed to supplement my studies. I worked on cars to pay my way through school, but nothing in the car community comes remotely to this. Thank you so much.
I've personally been trying to compare shaft diameters of various vehicles and study engine clearances and chamber sizes to simulate in ANSYS, but I havent found any blueprints. I guess to investigate what would justify engines or transmission types. Maybe you can do something about that?
I too am a mechanical engineer. We don't learn this stuff in school, so I learned by doing this type of stuff on the side. As far as finding blueprints...those are usually company secrets...the easiest way is to actually reverse engineer components and measure them yourself (I have a series of videos on teardowns).
Wow this is an excellent vehicle tech, geek review, I guess, fascinating! These Toyotas are surely fairly standardised for use on different vehicles/platforms like VWs have had. Nice work.
Yep it's all the same now on the TNGA platform
What an excellent video. Impressive how concise and to the point it is. Liked and subscribed!
Ooooh! Ten thumbs up! Im about to buy one of these. This was so helpful! Thank you!
Glad it helped
I just learned more about my car in 5mins than I have in hours of watching other videos, thanks!
(Nice toothbrush, btw 😆)
You are welcome.
Thanks for making this video simple, thorough, and complete! :)
You are welcome
I would love to see more mechanical reviews!!!! I love that Toyota is one of the few automakers investing in direct and port injection (D-4S)
Researchers proved the direct/port injection reduced Pm 2.5 measured fine particulate soot emissions about 10 times what they were when only direct is used. So its 10 times cleaner burning than everyone else's cars out there today
well done , and well prepared, bit of a tech background or you have done allot of research on this car, kudos to you keep them coming
It sure did take a few weeks of reading up to get all the technical info!
so u finally got ur brother a new car after destroying all his stuff XD
Actually my brother got a new old car at the end of this video...a Supra!
@@speedkar99 THAT SUPRA COST MORE THEN THAT COROLLA
@@speedkar99 make a video about your brother car. Let's disassembly it to see how Supra works!
I really like the way that you do your reviews. Its very educational and full of informative contents, I really learned a lot! You've got yourself a new subscriber here! Keep it up, thank you for doing this and God bless.
Thanks I'm glad you appreciate my work.
Holy crap! I didn't think I would EVER see a vehicle this easy to maintain ever again!
Great vid, will be really helpful for those planning to buy this car or even maybe for non mechanical savvy new owners wanting to do some diy on their car.
Agreed! It would probably be more useful 200,000km down the line when they do need work haha
Great video I have the 2020 corolla le and this was a very helpful and informative guide. You are one smart cookie
Thanks
I am watching this while waiting delivery for my new 1.8 hybrid Corolla and would love to watch an in-depth review for it!!!
Great review . I wish every review was this focussed on the mechanical and engine aspects. Especially how to access parts for replacement...my 2004 Nissan 350z is horrible for any repairs...reliable but very difficult to get to anything
I've got alot of G35 teardown content on my channel which is similar to your Z, enjoy!
Man you can hit million subs with these type of reviews. I always loved your content.
I wish I could! Maybe one day
Me as a no mechanic i understand you very easy and i learn too much from you sir 😊👍🏼
Excellent video! Thank you for this information. This type of videos is so needed.
You are welcome. I look forward in making more when I get my hands on more cars. Thanks
Great idea to do car reviews based on the mechanical components.
Please consider doing more.
Maybe the Honda civic?
😊👍
Yep you are not the first to suggest the new Civic for a review, I'll definitely consider it now!
"Unlike most reviews, ..."
I was expecting you to disassemble the car.
Haha good one! I cannot afford that yet.
@@speedkar99 This's already the most in depth car review i've ever watched.
This is the right kind of car review!!👍
Wow this such a good review. I really hope you do more of this type of stuff on other cars. Will be subscribing!
I sure will
camshaft driven fuel pump? Awesome technology, same as my KE30 3K engine corolla. complete and thorough mechanical review, subscribe immediately
Yep. Lots of direct injected cars are using that now.
Dude these are genuinely outstanding reviews. Thank you for doing this
It's great, thanks for this, it really shows how elegantly simple Toyotas are
It sure does.
I love this kind of mechanical reviews. Please please do more..
What types of cars would you like to see?
After watching this explanation of the 2.0 and what seems like a complicated engine, I’d like to see you do a video of the old school 1.8 for a comparison.
Yeah I would too! I went with the 1.8 LE the hp doesn't matter to me. I prefer the simpler 1.8
This is a great review, perhaps most other reviewers only know how to count cup holders. Viewers do not learn anything new about carrs from other reviews
Agreed
I really enjoyed this. Definitely want more.
Preferably other affordable cars in this segment, sedans and hatches from VW, Honda, etc. talk about common issues they may have like direct injection problems, weak transmissions, etc.
Thanks for the encouragement
Channel's really starting to take off. 'bout time. Congrats on that.. much deserved! (Although to be fair the toothbrush gets SOME credit... 😎 And I like to think my post on toyota nation convinced you to try taking apart struts 😃)
Thanks for the compliment and encouragement! It's been a long time.
This was really cool! Can you put a little more judgment into the review though? Kind of want your opinion on the mechanics of the car. And maybe a summary at the end or a few summaries sprinkled throughout. Like engine, suspension, etc.
Ok I'll try but I didn't want to be too biased.
Mechanically I think the car is easy to work on, though parts may get priceir than it's predecessor.
Question sir, just to let you know I don't have much knowledge about cars. I know how to check the engine oil level because I tried to read my toyota's owners manual. I found out that I can't see any break fluid at all in my break fluid chamber. I know some break fluid is black or blue, some are yellow like in this one. I think mine is color yellow as well but I can't see if it is in low level, high or middle. it seems to me that there's no fluid at all. The car breaking is still working fine. can you pls teach me how to properly check the level of my break fluid. my car is a toyota vios. Thanks!
I instantly subbed after you said you weren't going to talk about the cupholders and shit. Please do more of these.
Awesome! What car should be next?
@@speedkar99 I'd suggest doing a poll, choices being what you currently have available. You made a smart choice going with a Corolla for this one since many people buy those.
Really thorough explanation, really appreciate it
love your videos man. u should try an externa mic, those changes in volumen level are weird
Thanks for your feedback, I will consider improving my audio, as it hasn't been one of my strongest points
Best car review by FAR! Fantastic job, sir!
That being said, I am deeply saddened by the trend of "electronically-controlled" electronics, plastic, stamped steel and brittle alloy engines designed to fall apart, fail and break down with normal use. It makes little sense to outright _own_ such an overcomplicated vehicle with so *many* possible fail points. As long as they continue to sell gas, oil and tires, I will continue to drive my 33 year old Suzuki Samurai past _loads_ of broken-down, more "modern" cars.
Thanks. You definitely have a traditional view on the automotive industry. Fuel efficiency and safety regulations are driving manufacturers to squeeze as much power, economy and weight out of thier vehicles so the "decontenting" you see is basically eating up any potential that the vehicle already had.
I second that. Ill be driving my 20 yearold camery indefinitely. I prefer a metal intake and metal valve covers. Heat plus plastic is a receipe for disaster.
@@Super6-Four EXactly my thoughts with my old Camry too.My hair literally stood on end watching this.Pity the poor suckers buying one of these in 20 years time.Mind you they'll probably only last 10 years max."Et tu Toyota".[Shakespeare's view]
I agree! My 1990 Corolla is a better car than a new one, and it only has 82k miles!
@Nombre Apellido I think I’ll always own a corolla. They are the best little cars ever made!
Everything is so well put together.
It's very well thought out yes
best review i have seen in a while.....thanks.
You are welcome!
I have one of these and its a great little car. Why do people dislike the electronic parking brake? I assume its more difficult to service? Thanks for your fantastic videos! Always a thumbs up!
Because you can't drift
@@speedkar99 oh ok. I don't need to do any drifting.
Not at all built for the ease of maintenance or repair... Yep it's just getting worse.
But your videos continue to improve! Thanks for this brilliant review! I'd watch your mechanical review over any salesman review any day.
I'm glad you appreciate my work!
To me this vehicle didn't seem hard to work on...wait until you get to a Toyota V6
The Mitsubishi Mirage with the 5 speed seems a lil more diy friendly. They also have 100,000 mile warranty and costs way less. Not my 1st choice, but hey, if the Corolla/Civic are getting this complicated, then maybe its time to find a more practical kinda car.
you pretty much raised the standard for reviewing cars! No more cupholder infotainment reviewers!
Thanks! A new style of review indeed!
A true review without the cup holders 👍
A type of review I never expected to see or even thought of.
But now I see one, it is pretty cool to know the mechanical aspects of a new car.
Random question:
How'd you'll feel if a company decides to donate a brand new car, for the sole purpose for you to tear it apart thoroughly?
Yep I'm trying something different...a more technical review.
That would be awesome if I could get a car to tear down! But which car company would ever give me that...haha
One of a kind of car review.
It sure is different than the rest. Thanks
So much technical info. THIS IS GREAT STUFF
It sure is highly technical! Thanks
@@speedkar99 more of this style is definitely welcome :)
Another great video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the nearly forensic analysis.This car is certainly a technological leap forward from earlier Corollas which makes it so unfortunate that they shrunk the interior and lowered the headroom so much on the new hatch . Canada needs and deserves a new Matrix aka the Corolla Touring Sports they sell in Europe.
Yeah I've read that the room is down compared to the old iM/Auris. But at least it's good to have a proper hatchback to replace the Matrix
@@speedkar99 This is a 7/8 scale Matrix. At 6'3" inches I literally don't fit inside.
Excellent review, thank you, would like to see more. You mentioned about 200,000 km in your review, in your opinion, will the CVT last that long on this car?
CVTs have been around for almost two decades (Toyota is no exception with thier hybrids). The last generation Corolla had a CVT and it's going to be the mainstream. I feel that it could at least last as long as a traditional automatic - but - you gotta change the fluids - which is a chore on this tranny.
Time will tell though, the idea of having a physical first gear is new, and I personally didn't like its noticable engagement when driving this car off from a stop.
Toyota s CVT has a lunch gear in first gear which reliefs the strong pressure applied to CVT belt, that design by itself will outlast all other CVTs by a long shout , it will be longest lasting CVT, still not last as long as tranditional auto trans
According to Scotty Kilmer Toyota makes the best cvt's engines
