4 cars that’ll always be around and do very well regardless of dumb crossovers are the Corolla, Camry, Civic, and Accord.
Oh you mean the Corolla and Civic?
Introducing, the New Corolla, Camry, and Civic Cross!
True
And honda fit
@@labourlawact7826 they probably don't make them there
Ive owned a 2017 LE Corolla, a 2020 LE Corolla, and now I love my 2021 Corolla SE. Reliable and actually pretty sexy to look at, while the 169 hp engine with manual transmission is kind of fun.
Im on the fence about the manual vs CVT. What made you decide to go with the M/T? I have yet to find a M/T to test drive, but I was happy with the CVT...although the reliability is a concern...I plan to have this things for 10+ years and pass it down to my daughter.
@@wtfx5757 If your primary concern is reliability and you're not sure if you want to live with a manual for a long time, just go with the CVT. I've read quite a few comments online from owners of the manual saying their transmission failed before 100k miles. Not the clutch, the transmission itself. It's a weird transmission with electronic interventions, not an old-school basic manual.
I rather have a car that going last me for years than a car that only have good looks but will break down
like the mazda 3 ? lol
Then stay away from BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, fiat and many others. Just buy a Toyota.
Everything keeps going right, they're just heavy on fuel.
@@labourlawact7826 what about the new elantra would u say xli corolla over the elantra 2021 base model?
@@ds4zai Elantra is a Hyundai. No Korean car comes near a Toyota when it comes to longevity.
Labour Law Act ...Rev up your engine..
Heck yeah Nathan is here.
I actually like that the wireless charger has a switch to it
One of the best Toyota reviews I've seen on the net.
Hey Nathan!!! Great video... Nightshade edition!!!☺
Great review love that chose some background trip hop. 👌😎
Nathan is my favorite to watch. Highlights important aspects, tries to answer the right questions, has excellent sarcasm and just seems like a nice dude.
Had a 2009 XRS that I used to commute when I was a District Manager. Put 200k on it without even blinking. Super reliable. Super blah handling back then even with the bigger 2.4 liter engine and supposed upgraded suspension. Finally seems like they are paying more attention to handling.
Nathan getting out of that back seat, reminded me of the old days when he used to get in and out of the trunk...
How about low cars like the 86s. I think he rolls out of them and then someone has to pick him up off the ground.
Was that him getting out of the sedan or the hatchback?
Corolla is my favorite car 💙 seriously the drive is so smooth
I had a 1992 Corolla for 18 yrs that I had bought new. I was very happy with that car but the best thing about it was it almost never broke down. The alternator did fail but that was while the car was still under warranty. And when the car was about 8 yrs old I had to have the radiator replaced. But that was all the repairs needed in 18 yrs. (and I didn't always do all the recommended maintenance)
What about the timing belt/chain
GREAT REVIEW ON A VERY NICE CAR👌🏼
Can't wait for the Corolla GR to come to the US.
Corolla with 1.8L engine = fairly slow, but okay if you are okay with 'slow'.
Corolla with the 2.0L engine = much faster, much more fun, for just $3,000 more. I would say go for the Corolla SE with the 2.0L engine and you will be so much more happier.
Would be nice to see a few trim levels for the Hybrid. Toyota most likely will wait to see how sales will after the first year.
I don't know what it is about the Corolla, but if I was ever gonna buy just a regular car, it would probably be a Corolla.
I have a 2009 corolla and will buy another one. Great mileage and very reliable.
@@robertrioux7409 still got 2005 matrix on the road today along with 2020 corolla le lol
I bought my first one on 2015 Nd never had any problems just normal maintenance Nd have 130k miles had it for 5 years Im going buy a new one Nd pass my old one to my parents
@@slyx133 good move
The Civic is in the same class and it's a little bit bigger.
I would probably choose the hybrid station wagon.
The hybrid needs to have the XLE and XSE trims.
Yep, the reason I avoided the 2020 Corolla hybrid was because it was given the budget-looking (cheap-looking) econobox trim treatment only & also the butt-ugly front non-SE/XSE trim sedan front fascia. I went with a 2020 SE Sedan 6-MT sedan instead (no 6-MT in XSE sedan, sadly). I also wouldn't buy any vehicle with a regular push-belt CVT in it (hybrids use an e-CVT which is completely different & much more reliable/better).
Corolla is a economic car. Other options you can choose prius.
Miss the Corolla Xrs. Wish they'd bring it back.
Loving this car!
Loving mine. Will happily trade in for a GR if we ever do see it.
More Nathan! Mooaaarrr.
Whats the difference between the
2020 SE vs 2021 SE ??
lol, you getting out of the back seat had me rolling.. Thanks for the video, great job.
Nice job
In addition the Corolla is the most reliable vehicle made by number of vehicles sold. Also it is considered by most car enthusiast as an appliance to get you from point A to B (read boring). That's okay, that is what most people want in a car like this.
Martin Griggs Real car enthusiasts are very rare. Real car enthusiasts join clubs and have track days. Most ppl who call themselves enthusiasts are assholes. Speeding on residential roads. Illegal exhaust mods. Blacked out tail lights. I can't stand this type of enthusiast.
@@FrankyRedEyes so.... You don't think ppl should be able mod their cars how they want...
Nathan, You don't fit in the backseat because this model uses the new TNJA platform - Toyota New Jockey Architecture. For the record, the best Corolla is the wagon they don't sell here.
What makes you say that? We have the wagon in Israel, but I just can't get over how much worse it looks than a sedan... not being a family man, it's awfully hard for me to justify than gigantic back space.
Nice looking etc. but almost 30k for a corolla is insane. Should be 25 tops. But most sold aren’t the high end models but still.
They are about 24k for the XSE. I’ve never seen them over that price in my area.
Yea, at that price range, just add an additional 5 grand, and for $35,000 you can get yourself a new Tesla Model 3 next year.
@Richard Favreau you also get adaptive headlights, a unique feature for compact sedans
@@naveenthemachine 2021 Mazda3 premium hatchback has them also. Not sure about other trims or the Mazda3 sedan models.
Bought a 2021 L in sliver last october don’t need or want all the options ,Sure the xse looks awesome on the out side but i paid way less .XSE is close to $30k here in canada.I was sick in tired of my 14 jetta tdi always having something break and nickel and dimming me to death .Paid $21500 at 1.49% has everything and more then i will ever need .Only thing i wish is it had a more basic radio screen being it’s base told by the dealer the big screen is $4k so i got the warranty
I want a manual sedan. Or hatch.. I’m bout to start shopping sucks the prices are outrageous but I don’t have a choose
They need a long wheel base version.
I rented an SE for a month and I was impressed by its cvt. Quite responsive imo. Safety tech works great too. And it’s a great value
It’s interesting to see that the Corolla alone outsells Mazda Audi and Mercedes put together. I wonder if it outsells bmw
People are getting smarter.
It won't out drive a bmw.
The person is smart, people are dumb.
I have a 2020 Corolla SE and a 2020 Camry SE. I love the corolla because it comes with more standard features but the Camry is so much more spacious. I know I could’ve got the XSE with the features but the one i ended up getting caught my eye because it’s a Silver exterior with red interior. More sporty. The corolla is just so good looking.
Richard Favreau i dont know i save more gas in my Camry than my corolla.
@@andrewbcastilloo meh. Thoes cars aren't special.
I don't like the front of the Toyota Corolla SE and XSE trims...they glued the Toyota emblem on the hood of the car, which make is it look more like a budget car and reminds me of the front of a Kia. It also looks less sporty in the front compared to the other trims that have the emblem on the grill. On a plus side, I like the digital speedometer dashboard and infotainment display on the XLE, Hybrid and XSE trims.
Xse is badass in that exact model
I have a 2015 corolla LE with 182000 miles and never gave me any issues! Most reliable vehicle I have ever owned! Can't decide between a new corolla or a Camry!
Camry for looks and space I have a corolla se 2022 but if u can wait for the car prices to go back to normal wait awhile for a camry. The corolla is fine its not as nice looking as mazda and I argue it looks better than the current civic which I think,Honda dropped the ball on, the interior feels cheap tbh on the se model. If prices were normal I would of gotten a camry but I needed a car asap that i know would last me years. Do I wish the corolla felt nicer to drive? Yes , do I regret it? No, i drive 1 hr for work a day , great mileage , good safety , the infomat is kinda big and sometimes lagyy, good back up camera, overall I am satisfied and plan to keep it for 7 to 10 years and get a used avalon decked out or a Lexus :p
Does the 2015 corolla have a cvt or 4 spd auto
@@conrafael9465 cvt
9:53 what about Mazda with the 3 ?
I would always chose a Manual over a CVT
that’s what i said but i liked the options on the top XSE trim that wouldn’t come with the manual, so i had to sacrifice it and got the CVT. no regrets either way. solid car, smooth drive, very responsive. honestly, toyota has fine-tuned this cvt to be the best in the market
arcanine 917 what about the hatch? Did you consider that?
Squeaky honestly not at all. i’m not a fan of hatchbacks
arcanine 917 more power to ya I guess lmao
Squeaky yes
For most average buyers they'll think of Toyata first before any other brand
I actually always liked Civics over the Corolla
I wonder why Subaru is never mentioned when comparing these compact car sedans? They have the Impreza that competes in this class segment with great safety and reliability too.
Richard Favreau I see that makes sense. I guess Subaru’s are much more popular in snowy places where AWD is beneficial.
Subaru probably getting head gasket done.
Can somebody please tell me when will Toyota bring back the coupe again
Another top trim review
It still has the perennial sinking brake pedal problem. You start noticing the safety problem at about 5,000 miles and gets worse.
stop trolling, you have no proof, liar.
Sticks are fun!
This must be the 2021 ZR Corolla available in Australia and the Corolla top of the range model with 1.8 Hybrid and 2 Lt petrol model with 18 inch wheels.
It is super rare to see a L Corolla on the road! They come with a basic key with roll up windows without iPad screen!
Wish it had a hybrid with a manual...that would make me really think about getting one
Is that even mechanical possible?
It’s not possible. Hybrids use a eCVT transmission by definition.
VidsLive some people are obsessed with manuals for some reason
Honda has the CRZ and it’s a manual hybrid. Sooo clearly it’s possible
@@jesusrios444 They post stuff like that in the comments section, but they clearly don't ever actually buy it, if they did car companies would actually make them.
Was that the sedan or the hatchback that you had trouble getting out of the back seat?
Hatchback
The price is different in Australia got more room than my 1981 Sigma
Tesla Model Y TFL Slip test when?
I like the YARIS-wish they would keep it.
Sadly, the last authentic Yaris in the U.S. was model year 2018 hatch. After that it was a rebadged Mazda2 sedan/hatch posing as the Yaris for the U.S./Canadian market, while the rest of the world got the nice all-new authentic-Toyota TNGA platform Yaris hatch. I would have loved to have gotten an all-new design TNGA Yaris SE - but sales for the Yaris are just too dismal here for them to import it from overseas. I loved my 2015 Yaris SE hatch 5-MT & wish that I would have kept it instead of trading it in on a 2020 Corolla SE sedan 6-MT.
Hey Nathan, any knowledge of corolla AWD coming up?
I have the xse sedan with cvt and you can get 48mpg on the interstate and 35 in traffic
wow..thats impressive
Great gas mileage but that thing must be slug slow. I’m not a fan of CVT transmissions at all.
I have the 2020 SE hatchback with a manual. My personal record is 46 mpg going mostly 60 mph on a 50 mile highway drive. That seems to be the sweet spot where the engine is most efficient. If I drive faster, say 70 mph on a rural highway, I'll average 42 mpg on a 50 mile highway drive. Outstanding gas mileage for a non-hybrid car.
That's awesome. I'm trading in my 17 Corolla for a 2021 Corolla SE.
@Richard Favreau Silver, and the automatic.
You said the competitors have other features that this vehicle doesn’t have, what specific features are you referring to?
The only thing the competitors have over is maybe some horsepower and turbo 😂😂😂😂😂
The ability to prevent you from falling asleep while driving as a feature
They need to bring the arius Japanese versions
Scion/Corolla im hatch is the same thing.
Having driven this car makes me appreciate buying used car a lot more
Remember getting a 2003 corolla s for 15000 with 10k miles. It's twice as much now
What is the recommended octane/gas for this 2021
87 octane
I love my car so much!!
I can’t believe I think a Corolla is HOT!
I bought the 2020 (same design) earlier this year. Great car.
I never dreamed I would ever be the owner of a "boring" Corolla. But here I am. I bought the Corolla hatchback SE earlier this year. I was brave and actually bought the manual, without knowing how to drive a manual. It was super easy to learn on this car.
Toyota is upping their design game for sure. Almost every new face lifted model looks better than the previous models.
175$ less for the manual in the USA??. It’s like 1200$ cheaper in Canada
I want to like it, and then I saw the dash. At least the Camry doesn't look that bad.
This is one of the very few cars that the sedan is more expensive than the hatchback for the same trim level.
I think you mean the hatchback is more expensive than the sedan.
No. I said trim by trim. And why would I emphasize that if hatch is more expensive? From Toyota website:
Hatch SE: $20565
Sedan SE: $22375
Hatch SE Nightshade: $22565
Sedan SE Nightshade: $23075
Hatch XSE: $23515
Sedan XSE: $25825
Hatch has no LE, XLE, or hybrid so of course you cannot compare those and you have to compare the same trim levels.
Lmao that speedo is quite generous going to 160
Technically the hatchback is a Mazda so is the Yaris
SE or XSE Sedan with a 6 speed manual would be a nice option....it looks better than the hatchback
The hatch looks better , and has more.room
Can you fit in the back seat of the Mazda3 hatchback?
Think Mazda has the Chrysler CVT yikes.
@@tomslick2058 mazda has their own transmission it doesn’t have a CVT
I just wish it was faster. Nothing crazy. Just like 230-40 hp. Comparable torque.
They're going to be releasing a 2022 GR model. Awd turbo charged suspension upgrades etc 👍 that's what I'm waiting for
Turbo power!
But the Corolla is nice👌🏼
Why does no one do review of XLE,?
Because it’s underpowered
No wonder that I want one its just the waiting i hate
Forever salty I got the 2018 and no apple car play if i could trade it in for a newer model I would
The hybrid might just be the best choice. People buying cars like this keep them for five years or more and the hybrid has amortized by that point for a while.
how long will the hybrid last 15 years?
@@supremeetnel7707 It's really solid. The old Prius is still going strong and this hybrid system isn't more vulnerable to damages than the normal Corolla, and over those 15 years you'll save thousands.
I bought the hybrid in May I get 480 miles per tank for 19$ fuel ⛽️ it’s basically the best car ever made
@@Artist_Rafael But it’s super slow right
I'm looking at the new corollas 2021. Can anyone tell me what they think would be more reliable the 1.8l or the 2.0l? Non hybrid. Also what previous Toyotas did these 1.8l and 2.0l engines show up on? as reference for me to research.
Either should be fine. I know the cvt with the first gear did have a recall for the Corolla hatchback but I haven’t heard anything for the sedan. Im sure they already fixed it
@@naveenthemachine it just depends what you want and I own the LE model which has 1.8 litre and its reliable for what it can do.
Johnny 24...was pleasantly surprised when I rented a 1.8L Non-Hybrid and cruised over the Sierras from Sacramento to Tahoe. Had pretty darn good pick-up. However, I do want to drive a 2.0L Corolla. They supposedly get 40MPH on the highway. If that is the case there is no reason to purchase a Hybrid Corolla and pay a few thousand $$$s more.
All I know is I have my 2005 Corolla LE bought new. It now has 216,000 miles and four months ago was the very first repair it ever needed which was the radiator had a leak so I had that replaced. What I really want to buy is a brand new 2005 Corolla LE not the 2021with the CVT. I plan to hang on to this 2005 Corolla even if I buy a new one because this 2005 will probably go another hundred thousand miles without any repairs. It has the 1.8 l but who knows if it's the same engine that's in the 2021.
Wait until 2022. They're going to offer a GR Corolla.
You'd have no chance at getting one in this market plus I'd assume they be close to 40k out the door and there's so much more for that price. It's a niche car and getting one will be like hitting a raffle.
pretty soon they’ll be 75,000
The sedan with the manual transmission is about $700 more than the automatic, and only available on the SE sedan. It's a great car for the money.
I dont like CVTs 😬
The Civic and Mazda 3 are humongous compared to this awesome compact.
yeaaaaa im am sooo gonna 4age or K or B swap one of theseeee
Im 6 ft 5 in would this be a good fit for me?
it's a shame that in order to get the 2.0 engine you also have to get those ugly way too low profile tires.
Those were my exact thoughts as well. I think 17’s with a little more rubber would be a better compromise. It would give it a little more comfortable ride while still being fairly sporty.
The se comes with the 16” alloys. You don’t get the 18s unless you go se upgrade or xse
Yes slow. But great quite ride. Drove the civic. Did not like the ride. And did not feel a power difference. Having said that I lease. Would never buy a CVT.
@9:38 Nathan forgot to mention Mazada as a competitor! WTH ?
Love the Mazda3, but they sold a little over 70,000 in all of North America in '19. Other competitors sold 150,000 - 310,000 at the same time. Sales wise - it doesn't compete compared to the others. That's why it wasn't mentioned.
@@NathanDAdlen Mazda 3 is in a class of its' own....styling, automatic no one can match that. Of course Toyota has a great reliability factor. I know Toyota is manufacturing their own CVT and Nissan is still using Jatco (a company they own). Right now it is a toss up between Kia Forte GT Line, Corolla SE and a Mazda 3 sedan. No CVTs for me.
@@peterjordan2738 If you want a manual, you can only get that in the $29k Mazda3 premium hatchback. I drove it and it is very nice. I hate that they only offer that in one of the most expensive trims and only in that trim.
(US models) It does come with real leather seat trim and is very luxurious inside.
@@t.k.morris Thanks for the response T.K. Currently I am looking at many and at times far too many options for a purchase. With regards to your comments on manual transmissions, it appears that high end trims are too darn expensive. As an example, on some vehicles, turbos are only offered with AWD. Why pay a few thousand $$$s more for something that may not be needed. In addition, Hybrid vehicles may be worth the cost but the cost of what? Minimal power for sure. So, it is difficult finding a vehicle that has power, is a Hybrid and is an automatic (no CVT). My friend purchased a Mazda 3 Hatch which had 9 recalls for 2019. What is that all about? If reliability is on top of my list I may have to go with Toyota. The new Toyota Cross that was introduced in the Thai market recently may come to the States in a year or two. But then again it may be a Hybrid. My feeling about Hybrids is this: If the auto is unable to get 55MPG why purchase? The Hyundai Ioniq shows 55-58 MPG. But at what cost? They are not rolling off the assembly lines for some reason. Maybe I will keep my 2008 Nissan Sentra (155K) and my wife's 2008 Murano (160K) going for as long as I can with minimal expenses.
@@peterjordan2738 Understood. I am shopping for a new car and have been since earlier this year. The pandemic has kept me away from the dealers but I do a little reading and research almost every day. All manufacturers have way too many recalls now. Some though are simply because of using the same brand air bags and such. It is unfortunate for us buyers. We no longer can count on this year's model being as reliable as the last and sometimes it takes three years or more to discover that a certain model has problems.
... I would rather have a naturally aspirated motor with a manual transmission and none of the new tech that will eventually fail and be costly to repair or make my car unable to drive due to the failure of these new technologies. Like start/stop, electronic parking brake, etc.
The corolla is not there entry vehicle far from it. Toyota have just developed a new Yaris.
But remember that it saloon cars are leaving the market in favour of hatch back cars and small SUV
The to Yaris cross and corolla cross will be replacing the Yaris saloon.
US market needs to change because your consuming to much again. To much oil is being burnt in cars again.
The estate version is the best option
ALOT different than the 90s and early 2000s model. 😂 👌 🙌 These looks amazing now and not like a cheap pos like back in the day. 😂
Does look alot better, but I'd still buy a Honda Civic over this, just looks better.
Base model has a fair MSRP for a new car. Boring to drive.Cheapest interior(all toyotas). Very dependable. Id rather buy a 6th civic tho, more practical.
@Richard Favreau civic is a better well made car then Elantra an forte. All cars with front wheel drive platforms are the least exciting to drive. Thats why i dont.
@Richard Favreau only civic i would even care about is the 6 generation.
Could care less about options
@Richard Favreau honda is better. Cheaper an more hp.
@Richard Favreau 🤦 check it your self. 2020 civic & 2021 Corolla msrp.
Thats what u were comparing. Dont matter anyway cause both thoes cars suck especially the overrated toyota.
@Richard Favreau if i was a billionaire id be driving a toyota. Its important shop around for a good deal.
I've a dealership know off 6k$ on one of their offers. Fyi one of my favorites Corolla, is the 9th generation corolla XRS🙏🛐🕊

Slightly expensive for Corolla. I would like to get Civic instead
I prefer far corola than a junk civic
Much nicer car as well.
I have a 16’ civic DONT do it!
Civic has a CVT that is much weaker. The corolla has a more stronger CVT due to it being used for so long in the Prius.
@@andrewbcastilloo the Prius doesn’t have a real cvt like the civic does.
I will go for a jetta
Yeah ..just wait till a headlight goes out and see how much it will cost you to replace!!!!😭 $1200. !!!!!!!
NOT as reliable as older Corollas! Dammit, they have a CVT , 'engine on/off' feature, and they're made in effing MISSISSIPPI! I came this close to buying one today. Utterly dissapointed.
Anything wrong with a car made in MISSISSIPPI?
The Corolla rules It may be boring but boring is better than nothing.
Well very nc corolla sadly we get a that lame looking version and not this mad version.Our version of corolla is sure nc but for me this is better
Lol I can't wait till I'm 18 and finally get to buy my first car 😂
I’m 18 I have two Toyota’s... 2020 Camry SE and a 2020 Corolla SE. it’s possible dont let anyone tell you otherwise just do it wisely.
Andrew Castillo honestly tho why you have two for?
AndyRips I have two because I got the corolla and I love it don’t get me wrong but I wanted more space. The Camry offered that and when I saw the one I go with the red interior I was sold. I just like them both.
ANTHONY YOUNG awww lol that’s cute. But no. Sorry to debunk your hate. Both under my name. Sorry! I have good credit bro. Lol
@@andrewbcastilloo why didnt you just get a camry trd or something then? Having 2 cars makes sense if youre into cars, but having a camry and corolla doesnt make any sense to me. Theyre too similar. Not like owning a Corolla as a daily and a Supra as a weekend car
To much shiny black
So in other words the top of the line Toyota Camry is $40k? I rather buy a BMW 3 Series either new or pre-owned than to spend $35k to $40k for a Corolla/Camry.. Just wait until Tesla releases their sub $25k EV and we will witness sales figures of the Camry/Corolla fall..
Dude, putting a big guy in the back is just wrong!
