Yeah do. Most of these corollas, and basically toyotas are over priced and over rated
Making Boring Great again! -Toyota
Scotty do a video on all reliable American cars I’m a proud American an I have gone bored of Honda an Toyota plus I want to support my country
Hi Scotty. Love your videos they are so informative. I was wondering if you happen to know if used cars are supposed to drop back down in price anytime soon? I'm looking at getting rid of my 2016 kia Forte before something major happens to it. However, I don't have a large income and can't exactly afford payments on a vehicle over 20k.
thanks. very useful. does it come with blind spot monitor? I don't see it mentioned. Also, is the 2 yr complementary maintenance still available?
The auto industry needs to build affordable cars again.
Then stop paying for cars that are overpriced lol. Buy used.
Toyota Has NO IMAGINATION! that's what Mitsubishi did, using the Eclipse name to a Eclipse Cross! They do The Best Quality Cars, but Not Fun! Cause the Supra was No Made By Them, B.M.W. Made It! 😒
You must be driving a Damn Toyota, do you? If yo do, "You Are The One That Need A Better Pay Job!" 😒
Lol
@@Paintball1212 thats not the point a honda civic in the 90s retailed around 13k base, now base is like 23k
It’s only 20k online , once you get to the dealership there will be a market adjustment and added dealer options.
My friend paid $30,000 for hers, nothing too fancy but her 20 year old Corolla Matrix AWD was $21,000 new so it’s a good deal for 30K in that respect.
I got quoted $30000.00 for a basic LE gas model about a month ago in Avondale Arizona.
That market adjustment is ridiculous. I thought all the car manufacturers told their dealer networks to stop the market adjustments?
So buy it online then
@alexleschhorn I HOP on a plane and goto wherever the dealers do Not have markups. That’s usually the midwest. Spend $100 for the plane ticket, $100 to drive the car back home & save $10,000.
Worth it.
Hey Scotty stop putting $20K in your Toyota thumbnails. It reeks of dishonesty to get clicks.
He doesn’t need clicks
If you are lucky, you will get it for close to 30K, at least. Toyota dealers are notorious for adding 5k to MSRP.
My price out the door went up $1,700 last January over the original 2022 sticker price I signed up for./ only got it at the end of August!
But it was what I wanted/ needed/ and compared with the RAV4 it is dam near the same size minus 5 centimeters in headroom/ and a lot of different options available. Really, check it out size-wise. I think the 2L engine is good too. Haven't heard of any disasters ( yet) like some of the competition vehicles.
@@luckyguy600 I got CX5. No markups there.
@@veratolozhow do you like it?
@@gen613 So far, so good. Not too powerful, but roomy and comfortable.
My friend bought one a couple months ago, nothing fancy and $30,000 exactly. What’s Scotty smoking? 😂
$20,000 Toyota what year is this? They have all been over 26k since 2015.
Yeah starting price if I remember right was 25k. I wish it was 20k.
God bless you!
2001
Yeah and you will be paying well over $30k after all the taxes and fees they tack on at the end.
Hi Scotty
They are a brand new car starting in 2022. They range from 23-32k
Good luck finding a Corolla cross for $20k.
Yes, where can you find one at that price??
25k base model
In Texas the base Corolla cross is $23k so yes today , good luck buying one for $20k
try 30k out of the door price. @@CrawfishCuban
in canada, $30,856.50 for the base model. lol
We paid $26,500 OTD for a new 22 Corolla Hybrid last year. Tank average according to the trip computer is between 55-60 mpg. Should last a long time for us.
& my Lincoln says I get 85 mpg going downhill, don't trust comp. Mileage claims. Run a tankful& fill-up. Divide pump gallon by odometer to get accurate mpg.
I love my Cross-it’s absolutely perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing on it. I even camp in the back of it.
Are you able to use the climate control like the Prius?
Do the rear seats fold flat?
@@BG-ig6fdnot totally flat, but close
@@detectingrebelthats awesome my wife and i are looking for a new fuel efficient car to car camp and road trip lol
@@jeremym1706 it’s an absolutely perfect vehicle for that-I do it. I raise the ever so slight elevation difference with 3 square sheets of cardboard. I also use two bread trays upside down as a sleeping platform as it provides storage space underneath of them. But I will say that I am 5’ 5” and have about 3/4 of an inch to spare from my tailgate to the back of the passenger seat. Oh as far as mileage. I get 32 in town start and stop driving and 36-38 long distance trips. One time I drove like a real granny and got 39.9 mpg for a 400 mile trip
Driven several Camrys into the ground well past 300,000 miles. Being in New England rust ended up ruining them. I’m really glad to see the newer Camrys have all wheel drive! Corollas are great cars but I enjoy having more room in the Camrys. It’s really hard to go wrong with either vehicle
I’m on my 4th Camry. Good reliable cars.
@@chucke756hehe I’m still on my 1st GMC pickup I bought in 2005. 200,000 miles and still rolling.
@@nrm3247 Yeah they were good trucks. My brother had one with over 260k - original everything. The old GM V8s were great engines. The new engines that have cylinder deactivation are not.
I decided that my next new car will be a Camry:
*Normal automatic gearbox
*Fuel efficient
*Direct & multipoint injection
*Space/comfortable inside for long distance driving
*Base model is very affordable to buy & maintain
+100 other good reasons 🤔
Agree. We had an ‘89 Corolla that lived until 2011. Great car, but not worth repairing after a while. Would certainly buy another.
I bought the 22 cross in January of 22 at sticker $30,500 for the xle the car is fantastic, smoothest small car of ever driven, feels like a tank got up to 35 mpg on highway, zero problems. My daughter uses it everyday and just loves it can’t recommend it more , of course try and find one..
We just picked up a cross this week for the daughter. I based this on your recommendation Scotty . No pressure though. We have had 12 Toyotas since 1989 and have had excellent success with the cars and trucks .
Why do I feel like I just got tricked into watching a Toyota commercial?
Because Scotty knows cars.
Because you did
I bought Corolla AWD a year ago and Scotty is right about everything, except didn’t mention too much road noise during driving 😅
I just traded in my 2021 Corolla LE sedan for a 2023 Corolla Cross XLE. I absolutely love it! Great little SUV that suits me perfectly. I even like the looks of it. I test drove a new Honda Civic before I decided on the Cross and was totally unimpressed. The ride/suspension was horrible and very uncomfortable for one thing. Just wasn’t the car for me. So back to the Toyota dealership for me! With the Cross, I’m also impressed with the mileage I have been getting. The other day, I got 39 mpg out of it. Who needs a hybrid? 😄 Besides, I wanted a spare tire and hybrids don’t have a spare.
whatever
@fawnsans that's unnecessary
39.8 mpg out of my '23 cross. Great cars!!!!
I never get above 30 mpg but your 39 mpg is impressive
My neighbor just bought one. Very good-looking vehicle 😊👌
Honda is destroying itself by trying to go full electric by 2030. In the meantime, they should use timing chains instead of belts..
Estimate to do my 2010 pilot timing belt was from 1900 to 2700.
only the v6 uses tining belt these days, but your point still stands
My 2017 Civic uses timing chain. But I would not mind a belt. What matters significantly more is fuel injection tech, non-hybrid ( lack of tech), minor parts breaking , and Honda paying so little to dealers for warranty that they refuse to do warranty work.
Every Honda I ever owned was a timing chain. Never needed replacing
.
@@electrictroy2010 2006 Accord V6 is a belt. Replacing it was about $1000. CRV is apparently a chain as are a number of other models. My bigger issue is the crappy CVTs they moved to in the last 10 years. Those have caused issues. Also some problems with fuel/oil intermingling in CRVs, mostly in colder climate areas. Niece took a used CRV over 210,000 miles in college. Loved it and bought her first ever new car, 2020 CRV. It has had a few major issues and while the dealer has addressed them, mostly, she is not a "raving Honda lover" anymore. Since she is still paying for her car she cant afford to trade it in and get a new one but I would guess when she does it will be a Toyota.
I almost bought a Corolla Cross in 2020, but I got the Mazda CX-30 instead, as Mazda offered huge discounts and free oil change for five years.
@TomMcdonald9AYahooDotCom In my area, both Mazda and Toyota have a 3-year or 150,000 km warranty.
Well buy a Hyandai with 100,000 miles warranty and free oil changes for 10 years.
I own a 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid. The 50 mpg you mentioned is way lower than the mileage I have ever gotten. I bought the car new in the Spring of 2019 and it now has 52K miles. I live in the Pacific Northwest and get 55 mpg in the winter and 65 mpg in the summer, averaging 60 mpg. So far it has been completely trouble free. That said, I am very satisfied and will NEVER buy an EV. The only problem is that the state of Washington doubles the cost to license hybrids every year because they use less gasoline (hence less gas tax revenue) and those greedy politicians want to get some of it back. I hope that’s not a problem in most states.
The Toyota Cross in my area is $23K for the L, $26K for the LE and $28K for the XLE. Not including insurance, still not an affordable car for most.
I've ordered a 2024 Corolla Cross AWD, Hybrid, but I may re-think this, and change back to a non- Hybrid model. Too many reasons why I'm making this decision to list here.
I test drove the 'competition' BUT the 'Cross impressed me a lot more. I do think that Toyota could and should have a more competitive warranty plan though.
I originally thought I'd buy a hybrid, but I'm retired now and have another car as well, and realized I might not put even 4k miles a year on the new one. Which is not a concern most people have, I know. But if you don't put that much mileage or more on a hybrid the batteries don't get charged like they need to and they won't last as long. What I don't want is a hybrid with its batteries wearing out earlier in the vehicle's life than they already do.
@@bartlebyscrivener2980 The batteries indeed, are what made me change my mind,... ( i think ) I have yet to have a chat with my Dealer, but that will be as a courtesy only,. I usually know ( or try to at least ) enough about what I'm buying before I do so. I'm in the same position as you are, although, I put more kilometres on a vehicle in a year, perhaps than normal, about 26,000, and that amount will be lessened to about 18000 or so in the coming years.
Ahh, time will tell, I'll make up my mind soon.
Again, thanks for your reply/input.
I bought a new 2021 Honda HRV for 20k in 2021. You can't beat that!
Sporty looking, nice!
Not in Canada.
HRV s are slow tho
Hello Scotty, I had a terrible experience with the CorollaCross. First five months went by okay after that problems after problems where the dealership had no answers too. I ended up trading it just after 9 months for a loss of $6K. Toyota rolled it too fast without perfecting it this time. The problems ranged from faulty airbags, door locks, and vehicle suddenly reset while driving showing the message Vehicle not ready. I Don’t recommend anyone to buy.
That sucks! Unfortunately, there could be a lemon in any bunch. It's too bad you couldn't use the lemon law to have them buy back that vehicle with all of those documented problems instead of trading it in for a loss. Especially since the dealership will sell it to another person who is at that point buying a documented problem. Hopefully, whoever buys it looks at the maintenance history on the Toyota website and knows what they're getting into....I have been lucky in that 100% of the Toyota's I've owned over the decades have been great vehicles. I would guess I've owned over 20 in that timeframe. Currently, all of our vehicles are Toyota's, but I also have had Honda's with the same great reliability results (if they are maintained)....
"vehicle suddenly reset while driving showing the message Vehicle not ready"
Can you tell us more about this? I haven't heard about it. I have an 8 month old Cross, a FWD L trim and very few complaints beyond the airbag recalls.
@@bartlebyscrivener2980😂 nope
@bartlebyscrivener2980 While driving under 25 miles per hour speed, the car will display "vehicle not ready" on the dash and started running freely like on Neutral and transmission not engaged. Of course this will happen once out of 200-300 times so it's so hard to diagnose and thats why the dealership gave up saying they can't reproduce.
Hope that helps.
I test drove one. Honda has nothing to worry about. The car sits low to the ground for an SUV and has a harsh ride and is under powered.
Hybrid has 194 hp and bigger wheels. You probably drove the gasser 169 hp like an inbred would
It has a higher ground clearance than my 2010 dodge nitro did and I was able to drive my dodge nitro through a 2ft snow storm no problem so I don't get how you can say it is low to the ground. If you want something higher off the ground then you should probably spend more money and get a 4runner or a truck.
@@EternalTrick when you sit in the car your butt is on the ground. Not talking about ground cleaning.
this is a crossover not an suv.
2023 Honda HRV, it's main rival, is also underpowered. TheTopher said it took him almost 13 seconds to do zero to 60 in the Honda HRV.
20k marked up to 35k at dealer.
I don't know why Toyota offered the heated steering wheel on Corolla's in Canada but not in the United States. It would be nice as the northern states do get cold in winter
pretty much kills the cross for me
Cause we are wimps up here now. Er, WOK to be exact.
I doubt after driving for over 60 years in Canada I will bother turning them on. North Dacota could use those features/ Montana too!
But maybe.
I prefer just basic transportation.
These unnecessary features are part of the reasons why car prices keep going up. And yes I said “part” I understand there are more variables
@@santanasenemounnarath9218 yea I concur, like these ni... can't wear gloves while driving if they are that much of pu....
Wow, amazing that people care about heated steering wheels and seats.
I'm more concerned about reliability for years to come!
Toyota is really the most practical and appealing car company. The Corolla Cross reminds me of a higher version of my 2010 Matrix. The matrix is very plastic and a very rough ride. I’m certain this is much better. Costcos only slightly higher for base than my Matrix was back in 2010.
Well, Scotty, you really had my heart pounding for the Corolla when you said it has a 6.7-in ground clearance.... Alas, you were off by a mere 1.4 inches; its actual ground clearance is only 5.3 inches. For the life of me I don't understand why manufacturers insist on such lousy clearance, especially when so many markets in the US (and elsewhere) have 4-5 months of SNOW and ICE. Not to mention deep and ubiquitous potholes. Otherwise, an excellent video review.
Try and buy one for $20,000.
As a LA daily driver, this has been the best car I ever had, smooth driving with good features, full tank last me 7-9 days, good space for grocery shopping at Costco, and most importantly for road trips and camping. When leased is up, will trade in for the Sporty Hybrid or Plug in Hybrid 😊
It's more like 30k but you might get a used one for 20k in a few years
My friend paid $30,000
I Want One !
HOP on a plane and goto wherever the dealers do Not have markups. That’s usually the midwest. Spend $100 for the plane ticket, $100 to drive the car back home & save $10,000.
Worth it.
@@electrictroy2010Im in Oregon, its going to be far more than $100 for a plane ticket and gas money to get to the midwest and back for me.
1980 car sold for around $5,000 should sell for $18,000 today.
3rd world gets compact vehicles sub $12,000 because the markets there dictate what the purchaser will buy.
Our dealer has the Corolla Cross starting at only $959 less than the Rav4. Not much difference. Plus the Corolla Cross has a CVT transmission. I'll keep buying the Rav4
The Toyota Cross Hybrid looks like a decent value proposition. Compared to the Subaru Outback Premium its off-road capability looks like it is lacking but it does get better fuel economy. The XMODE on the Subaru offers better AWD traction and it has slightly better ground clearance. For under $30k the Subaru Premium (sold below MSRP) may be a better overall value. It is larger and other than silicone gaskets should last over 200k miles.
The price gouge locally near Seattle, with waiting lists too. I ended up paying over $28K for a 1 year old Corolla Hybrid, but wanted a 2023 Prius Gen 5, but they were backordered & the 19 Nissan LEAF SV 40kWh battery was leaving me stranded when I went fast on the highway or up mountains nearby.
Bought a used 2020 Corolla 6 speed manual a few years back. Average 40 mpg on the highway. Not interested in expensive hybrids OR ev's. Back to the basics is a great thing.
Just looked at the Cross. My son who will be getting his license soon really likes it. Something that will last him 10-12 years.
At most it will last at least 7-8 years before needing major repairs, it’s still good but this isn’t the 1990-2000s Toyota quality that it used to be …
@@BigAltimaEnergy719 you clearly don’t own Toyotas. We’ve owned 7 over the last 20 years and have three that are from 4-8 years old now. We’ve had exactly zero issues with any of them - ever. Keep buying your trash.
@@JA-zh5xi I own a 2007 and 2021 4Runner with the V6, both paid off, simple reliable and capable without all the nanny tech lol
@@JA-zh5ximoron
My 2010 Toyota Corolla has 157,259 miles and still runs like new, it’ll last more than 20 years 👌
Sorry Scotty this car is not going to kill Honda in America. I'm sure Honda has new cars, designs and plans to compete with Toyota in coming years as they always have before. It will be interesting to see sales of this new model but I doubt it will come close or approach Camry levels.
You're right because Honda in many Cases is meeting or Beating the Toyota alternative, Our 2020 Civic Sport Sedan with 6 speed manual gets average 35mpgs all day long even at 79 mph, But of course This is all done without a turbo or Hybrid batteries.
My 2015 Mazda 3 Hatchback, 6-speed manual, beats that: 40 MPH on the highway and runs on regular gas. A lot of wonderful ICE vehicles have been produced in the past decade, thanks to Japanese makers. @@raymondreiff8170
HR-V is not so good vehicle in compressing with Corolla Cross.
@@ПавелЕпифанцевъ Perhaps not but we'll see how Honda counters... I think several of the Honda models are up for a redesign including the Odyssey and the HR-V and perhaps others. I think Honda has stalled because of the change to hybrid/EV technology but I expect some big changed coming in the next year or two and that's even more likely with some of the Toyota lineup changes and updates.
I don’t know if they throw out another new model like the butt ugly 2023 Honda accord then Toyota going to win. This is from someone who owns 3 different generation of Accord. Next car probably going to be Toyota Camry.
Unfortunately, the Carolla Cross (in California) starts out between $23k-$25k and goes up to $33k plus for the AWD hybrid version. Where exactly can they be purchased for $20k????
Nowhere! But the $20k text got more people to view and comment.
@markf.2050 Agreed. They are great vehicles and on the high side in pricing because of that. I do like them, but my 2012 Rav4 has 114k miles, so it's just now broken in, and I'm hoping for 200k more. Maybe I'll buy a used Toyota Carolla Cross at that point????
no where
$20,000? Cheapest is $26,000 for final price with all the fees and markups. Do actual research and be more realistic Scotty.
The cheapest one in my area new is 30,000 in California
Gotta keep these car salesmen fed right? And then theres the overhead costs for a paying a pimplefaced minimum wage teen to valet your POS rustbucket to the trade in section. And then the dealship pockets the 5999 mark up difference 😂
Some areas dealerships have some available on the lot, but they're almost definitely marked up. Where I am you can get them without market adjustments, but you have to wait months for one.
And he must've said at least 50 times "2024 Toyota Corolla cross" lol I hope he met the target. About a month ago he said why would you buy this, better buy the Toyota matrix from 2000 and something OR go out and get the Rav 4
And you, sir are the reason why there is inflation. It is not because of the 'gubnent, it is because you, the buyer, are willing to pay extra for things you don't need.
Have a 2023 Cross SE Hybrid getting 43 MPG and just put winter tires on it and it dropped to 41 MPG. So far love the hybrid transition between running on just EV motors and the gas engine, it is seamless. Literally have to look at the tach to see if the gas motor is running, even at 60 mph. For the price, it's an awesome commuter car or for something to get to point A to B. Having a family or more than two people really wouldn't be anything I would want to do a long trip in, but for two it is a nice ride. But small trips can certainly support additional passengers with great gas milage. Overall I thinks its a great value at the price and hope it has the standard Toyota reliability that I am accustomed too so I can have for many many years of service!
I have one too and love it! About to get some winter tires as well 👍🏼
A hybrid is extremely complicated, mechanically. When that thing has some serious mileage on it, it will be so expensive to have it fixed that you will curse yourself for not buying a good used gasoline-burning car instead.
I appreciate your thoughts, but I have based my decision on the fact that the Cross Hybrid is based on the Toyota Corolla gas power and the EV technology of the Toyota Prius, which if you look at the longevity and reliability of both of these models I think I made a good choice. Again, only time will tell. @@nitromartini1422
@kevinf.barnaby7448 THE smooth gas-electric transition has existed since 2000 when Toyota first released the Prius. Your description is new to you, but nothing new. for how Toyota hybrids have always worked
.
@nitromartini1422 THE Toyota hybrid isn’t that complicated. It’s a standard automatic transmission with clutches removed & two electric motors added. Pretty simple really.
The only potential expense is replacing the battery, but that is under warranty until 150,000 miles on PZEV models, so won’t cost you anything. (And even if it does, cost is only $2000 total.)
I bought a Cross. Sadly its not as good as I thought. Very slow acceleration, unrefined jittery cvt transmission, excessive side window noise, not fun to drive, feels flimsy and cheap like a early 2000s GM. Turn signal stalk feels like it will break, cheap carpet lifts up when I vacuum it! Also back seat does not fold flat fully for a flat floor. On the plus side it rides good and gets 32.6 so far according to display. I have fwd model. My Scion xb was way better! Bring back the xb. That was fun to drive, nimble (compared to Cross) great interior space and flat folding back seat for a flat floor. I had an ‘11 xb.
10:55 I have an 05 XB with 210,000 plus miles. Kept on the regular maintenance. Never a problem. I need a second car. Looking at Corolla Cross, Cross Treck, CRV, Niro. Haven't started testing yet. Just looking.
My wife just built one on line this weekend. It came to 36k. I thought that was a great price. She wants the yellow one and AWD.
Scotty, you did not mention the CVT tranmission in the cross. I thought you hated that transmission.
The prices that Scotty is showing here for the Corolla Cross are for online purchases. The prices for the Corolla and RAV4 might be close to what you pay for those cars in the Midwest, but the Corolla cross is going for $32K for the base model. So it is not a better deal than the RAV4 or Honda CRV
Depends on where you buy. I have flown to another state to buy a car, savings thousands. People need to expand their searches.
I’m in Midwest. Bought a rav4 xle this week. Looked at the Corolla cross. Rav4 was $32,199 after rebate the Cross was at $31,599 but was slightly better equipped. Went with t he rav.
What state is good to buy a car then?@@macdaddyp8437
If you're tall, you'll have a hard time getting into corrola.

Gee, this $20,000 is really near $30kI was interested at $20K but not far above. Keep driving my 2011 forester
Toyotas are great, there is no denuing that. BUT.........their buisiness model is corrupt. Their MSRP is all but a joke in the US. They have a disributor who charges premiums, the dealers charge premiums. They force insurance otems in financing ( and are being sued).Paid out 60 million, ( You know they are guilty). It fed me up so much,... I bought a Mazda😡
my 1996 ford probe got 36 miles per gallon combined. These companies saying 35mpg for a compact car is good gas mileage is so full of it. the technology is going nowhere apparently.
I think it’s all the ethanol they water gas down with now.
They just make them taller and bigger, mileage isn’t going to ever be great with a SUV
In my FWD gas engine Cross, one 40 mile run I got over 37 mpg, but that was under good conditions for mileage.
Scotty, I'd love to see you do a comparison between the Toyota Cross and the Subaru Forester. I'm considering both.
Subaru Crossstrek would probably be a better comparison vehicle.
I’d love to see this as well. I’m deciding between these two also
I drove Subaru Crosstek and for long drives your butt gets numb
Subaru Foresta is in different class category It's large than than Corolla Cross@@deedeew4040
@@susansavage8272 My 2013 Crosstrek just passed 162,000 miles, gets 21 MPG, burns oil, has leaking gaskets, and failing CV joints so I decided to buy a non-plugin hybrid Crosstrek. Subaru doesn't make one of these and probably won't in the next few years. I can't wait so I bought a 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid. I have 160 miles on it and getting 34 MPG and haven't even driven on the freeway yet. EV mode is awesome and the CCH is also more powerful, smoother ride, and quieter than the Crosstrek.
This channel should be renamed "Toyota Fan Boi". Boy with an 'i'. Cause Scott is fancy like that.
The naturally aspirated Cross is under powered. The hybrid is the one you want.
Yep the Corolla Cross SUV shares the same 2 liter engine with the Corolla sedan despite the Corolla Cross weighing 400 pounds more than the sedan
0-60 in nine seconds is hardly underpowered. In Europe where gas is expensive & engines smaller, typical 0-60 acceleration is 15-20 seconds.
Doing the same in nine seconds is very fast in comparison
Also the hybrid battery will eventually need replaced. That cost me $2000 in my prius. Probably $3000 in a bigger car like this crossover
Thinking about this for a commuter I can put mileage on.
I loved my Cross. Naturally aspirated could get 35-40 in the city driven conservatively
Scotty great content and awesome review. Thanks for clearing up any confusion about the Toyota Corolla variations.
I have had a Toyota Highlander , an Avalon and now Toyota van!! Love my Toyotas!!!
Good for you man
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I Like my Toyota Sienna 2006 XLE even with 254,000 miles on it. It's really well made. Compared to American Made, its so much better in many ways. Do I need all those extras? No. Just happened that way. I bought it used when it had 238,000 miles for $2600. If that mileage was a american made vehicle it would be a piece of junk by now. I just a good vehicle with low maintenence and cost.

I have a Sienna 2017. What I am most impressed by is how it is so easy to turn ! I never had any other Toyota that would do that? Wonder why?
I bought a 2023 Cross back in 2022 with almost a 14-month wait for exactly what I needed/ wanted.
FWD LE
Ok so far/haven't put many miles on her yet/ looks good in the underpinnings though. Well assembled down there in good old Alabama.
canadian vehicles get heated seats and steering wheel/ no charger station.
So far ... so good!
waiting for 24 Cross Hybrid in Canada....How many more winters do you think?...lol...
The Corolla Cross has a widespread whistling sound issue at speeds of 30-50mph. Otherwise, it's a good vehicle, but that might be a deal breaker for many
Thank you, this is the type of info I was hoping he would cover in this video.
Did you bend the window frame?
@user-um1wr2fg8x not sure what you mean here
I prefer the HRV - it's a far more spacious option. If you have long legs, forget Toyota unless you're willing to go RAV4, Hilux or Fortuner. I drive a Toyota Innova and it has so much rear space that I don't know why they didn't make the back seats adjustable.
In Europe, only the Hybrid is sold here, And the Base trim starts about 36.200 € incl. 19% tax. That is equal to $ 39.521. Now tell me, who gets ripped off?
In Europe does average person pay over almost thousand for a phone. That they will probably dump in a year. Or other electronics? They pur so much electronic crap that many don't need to temp a youth market. Who loves being strapped to a loan for years.
This car doesn't kill Honda.
I really like it ! Scotty I had two Pontiac vibes same as your wife’s matrix ! And by far it was my favorite cars , the Corolla Cross is like the modern version ! I’m sold ❤
I need the following (brand new) - ALL wheel drive, hybrid, hatchback, opening sun/moon roof, spare tire - under $30G
Hi Scotty! I'm from Europe, and this car has been driving on our roads for some time now. People praise this car - it's true that it's super economical, but more and more individuals are pointing out issues with rust on the underside of the car, especially on critical chassis components.
I don't know if that's true; I'm curious about how the situation is in the USA.
In the US, rusting varies depending on where you are. I'm in Texas and my last two Honda Accords had no rust. We don't get too much snow down south, so salt is not used that much on the roads. Futher north, you will see rust.
If you live in regions where salt is used during the winter, no car is immune to rust!
@@markg6860 Hey! My wife has a 2010 Honda Jazz, and the car has serious rust issues, especially underneath. If you compare that to, for example, a VW also from 2010, those cars look much better. Despite everything, I prefer a rusty Honda over a VW 🙃
If I loose my 2002 Rav 4, I'm thinking the Corolla Cross would be close in size. The Cross has great ground clearance vs the Corolla Hatchback.
$20000 Bullsit
No sane person believes any major auto manufacturers will ever make affordable 20K vehicles & Scotty knows better 🤔
Many years ago auto makers made what they called stripper cars.. They didn't have ANYTHING in them except the bare minimum.. not even a radio.... That is what somebody really needs to make... nothing but a heater... Price it LOW...it would be a seller.
Lucky USA at $20,000, In Canada they start at $36,290.04 base
The Toyota Cross looks like a pretty good car that fits a nice "hole" in their lineup. I might take a look at buying a used one in a year.
Have a 2023 corolla cross XLE, and love the thing! Drives incredibly smooth, and gets a decent gas mileage with good cargo!
Stoked to watch this. Every car review video from Scotty is a new treat
HEYY! Aren’t you supposed to be moderating?! Just kidding, cool to see y’all here!!
Will you have a debate between Ben Shapiro and Dr Finkelstein? Also when's the next Daniel H debate?
In 1960, i recall the sudden popularity of compact cars. My father bought a Ford Falcon which was small, light, and had no frills, not even a radio. At that time, the only pickups were driven by working farmers, and the speed limit on our country roads were 55 for cars and 45 for trucks. This austerity was the genesis of the resulting boom in the auto industry. Today's car are more like the overweight, overpriced and overindulged people who drive their too large vehicles.
Just bought my Corolla Cross hybrid less than a month ago and I love it.
I love my baby. I have the Cross for a few months. Im just happy to be in the Toyota family!
No mention about the transmission?
I heard it was a CVT, and I feel better with a 5 speed transmission in the RAV 4.
Yep CVT just like the regular Corolla.
Getting the Rav4 over the Cross simply for the better transmission is worth it imo
We own a 2020 Corolla Hybrid. It's one of the best cars I've ever owned. 53 mpg, and it has a full size spare tire! I had to buy this tire and a rim aftermarket, but at least Toyota provided a storage well for it under the cargo floor. I love the idea of the Corolla Cross Hybrid, but somehow, it's fuel economy is a whopping 25% LESS than that of the regular Corolla Hybrid. And Toyota chose to route several high voltage cables through the spare tire well, and provide only a patch kit, so you can't use the well to put a real spare tire in there, even though it's big enough to carry one. Very disappointed in this, Toyota!
My neighbor just dumped her Tesla got one of these - brand new. Looks very nice ! 👌
Recently drove a Corolla and wasn’t a fan. It has this “B” gear at the back of the shifter, the last gear after D. I accidentally had it in B and pulled out into traffic, only to have the engine rev and not be able to accelerate past like 30 (scary moment). Beyond that, the car has a weird power band; the merging gear (40->75) is dangerously slow, but moving from like 20->50 is really fast (ticketing gear). The lane-keep assist will violently jerk the wheel if you’re lazy about a turn signal on an empty road or if it’s confused in road construction. Idk, it was a bad first exposure for me driving a Toyota.
The “B” gear is apparently the low gear. Why a little sedan that can’t tow anything needs a low gear is questionable at best. But why you’d put that seldom (if ever) used gear at the very back of the shifter, where 99% of cars have the Drive because it’s the easiest gear location to get to without looking, is downright idiotic. It makes me question the “brilliance” of Toyota.
the B gear isn’t really for towing, it’s more for increasing engine drag while you go downhill so it’s easier to go downhill on places with a lot of terrain (like west coast, japan, mountainous/hilly places). idk where else they’d put the B gear anyways if it isn’t the last. based off what you’re saying, it seems like your bad experience was more user errors, not because of the car…
@@JaxDeleon B literally stands for engine "B"reaking.... so yes it'll rev higher but that's bc it's a lower gear to help go downhill... definitely operator error on ur part
Good to know!
I prefer the CHR over the Cross any day. The reason why we went with a Subaru Crosstrek instead is because it’s still in production. But I was very vocal about wanting a 2024 C-HR.
Any word on the models of the Cross being produced in New Zealand?
Toyota will never kill Honda in America Toyota is just a durable mainstream car 🚗 Honda will always be a sports car and more elegant
I test drove one of these and I didn't like it. Very under powered. Sits low to the ground and the blind spots are terrible. I had to floor it to get on the interstate during my test drive. I was replacing a 2004 Rav4 and it for sure didn't have anymore power than that Rav. I ended up with a Subaru Forester and I couldn't be happier. If you are just driving around town the Corolla Cross would be ok. If you do a lot of highway driving, look elsewhere.
Nobody can beat the Corolla
Customers want $20,000 hybrid cars.
Manufacturers advertise $100,000 gas guzzling pickup trucks.
🤬 😡
I want my old nineties Corolla with the hand roll up windows.
Recently test drove this. Wasnt a fan.
What kind of vehicle are you looking for then? The Corolla Cross gives you the most bang for your buck.
Small wimpy engine huh?
I like the Corolla cross. But I’ll just keep my Sienna…it’s a love thing.
Scotty your are a great Toyota salesman. How much are they giving you a fee for this commercial?
Toyota sells themselves.
He loves Toyota but he isnt advertising. He is rich mate over 3 million euroes and has no need to advertisie
We will look at the Toyota Corolla Cross hybrid this year but living on a mountain where we get snow every winter with occasional plowing, we have to be sure the hybrid AWD with snow tires can work. We had FWD cars when we moved here (Honda/Saab) and neither with snow tires could get up the mountain when it snowed. Now have a 2013 Subaru and a 2018 Buick both with AWD with no trouble with snow/all-weather tires. A hybrid is a new thing for us to look at for a potential 3rd car. We may buy it and if it does not work well in the snow climbing the mountain, just not use that third newer car and use the two older ones instead (there is a 10-15% grade going up 650 feet to our home). If anyone knows if the Cross can handle this let me know
Why do the Toyota engineers continue to build some of the best vehicles on the road only to have the styling studio beat them with an ugly stick?
I would agree. The Rav4 reminds me of the Pontiac Aztec. And Toyota interiors have way too much plastic.
I agree- gets worse with every generation!
The current RAV4's lines do look like they were designed with a cleaver. (I think a re-styling is coming soon.) In contrast I actually like the "C" curves of the Cross's fenders... and since the two suvs look so similar otherwise, that's how I've learned how to differentiate the Cross from thr RAV4 in parking lots.
FYI, the cheapest Toyota Corolla Cross (gas model) costs $25,400, with destination charges. This does not include taxes.
It depends on what your definition of an "affordable" cars is... Four wheel disc brakes, six airbags, NAV, plus inflation. IMHO, I don't think it will happen unless you buy a stripped down or used car. Plus hybrids and EVs. But because of NHTSA, there are several mandatory safety features.
It's all relative. They're affordable compared to other 2024 models.
Considering that the average new car cost in the US is around $40K, these are affordable.
20k? Come on Scotty. These are $24,000 with the base model when u walk out of the place
We have one of each 22 CHR and 23 Corolla Cross , each one is good , CHR is fun to drive , I don’t see lack of power only think I can complain about is very small fuel tank in CHR , 250 miles from full to empty , that means you are stopping every 2 1/2 or 3 hours for fuel
Corolla Cross has bigger fuel tank , I think they both are great value for the money
I like the Toyota Cross and I'm guessing it's the closest to my 2010 Toyota Scion XB that I love. Though a little more expensive but does have more features, but is it zippy like my Scion with the easiest throttle I've ever experienced? Great videos Mr Kramer thank you.
No heated steering wheel!?
If only there was a way to heat the cabin and everything in it...
The wheel will be the last to get warm& the first thing u have t o grip
@@rogerdodrill4733 Gotta be careful... might get frost bite, lose all my fingers, and then what would I use for social media comments??
Yeah 20 thousand but when you drive off from the dealer parking ur 40 grand loan is secured!
I wish! This car was 20k it’s definitely higher and almost the price if a rav4. Dealerships are like the housing market, they overprice things that are nowhere near the they are
Yup, it’s $30,000 in Walla Walla WA
But....BUT..did it SHOCK the industry!?!?!??
SUV and Crossovers are just another marketing name for what is actually a station wagon.
wish they brought back station wagons!!!
@@asymjk No need, they just renamed them for those not paying attention.
Toyota is the least comfortable driving vehicle. German and American cars are much comfortable in driving.
Went to see a Toyota Cross in Westchester NY. $32,000 with nothing inside. A TOTAL Ripoff!
Good luck at finding one. Toyota's inventory SUCKS.
Not true anymore. All the Toyota lots are filling fast.
Not mention the Damn Chips! 😒
How is the corolla cross cheaper ive seen them all ethier more or just 500$ more then the Rav4
You're seeing marked-up Crosses then. The new Huntsville plant is producing much lower numbers of them than the demand for them so far, just a fraction of the North American RAV4 production. There is even higher demand for RAV4's, but much higher production, too, and the supply shortfall is worse for Crosses. To get a Cross for MSRP you pay a deposit and wait for half a year or more.
