Great video Brooks! That looks very close to the Corolla hatchback! Obviously with Lexus enhancements. I was seriously considering getting a 2020 Corolla XSE sedan with that same power train! But of course I opted for the 2019 Camry XSE 4 cylinder with zero regrets! What an improvement over my 2012 XLE V6 Camry sedan! Still I have no regrets in trading up! I always appreciate your videos and your channel Brooks! Wishing you a wonderful rest of your Summer! Always with full respect! Mark in Iowa.
First time having the realization that the 2.0L engine is NA and has no force induction of any kind... A little shocked why they would source a Corolla engine for a Lexus product instead of a variant of the 2.0 turbo already in their fleet. Efficiency is the obvious reason (I hope) but I doubt many Lexus buyers are frugal to the point of it being a deal-breaker.
If you're looking for a great daily driver, check out the 2020 Corolla XSE hatchback. It's not quite as glamorous looking as the Lexus but it's the same platform, same 2.0L engine, and has all the same basic features as the Lexus. It gets better gas mileage and accelerates significantly faster (it weighs 300 lbs. less) so more fun to drive, and it costs roughly half as much. I've had mine for 6 months. I love it!

I really like this subcompact suv

Checked these out while at the dealership getting car was getting serviced. Super cool little car. Much nicer, and roomy than the CT200h.
I’m absolutely sold on this little SUV! If I were to trade in my C Class for a versatile new daily, this would definitely be a good contender!
