Performance cars are nice. But todays streets aren't designed for performance. I like your philosophy. Its been said, its more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow.
Great review! I love that the Corolla hatchback XSE comes standard with the premium JBL speakers. unlike the XSE Corolla sedan! I believe it weighs around 3100 pounds (the base LE sedan weighs just under 3000 pounds). Mazda 3 also has cylinder deactivation which could be a nuisance long-term. Does your 2025 Corolla hatchback have auto stop start button where the engine shuts off when you're at a red light?
Not bad at all. You really only notice it if you hit a pothole or something like that. Which is the same story for basically every sub 60K car. Love the look though, couldn't live with that OEM look from the SE.
Depends how much you need. I came from the GTI and Focus ST; this Corolla is still plenty for me. Fold the seats down and remove privacy cover this thang can carry a decent load ;)

I just got my 25 hatchback today and I’m pretty impressed, even though I came from a Chevy Cruz😂 good video

Can you deactivate the stop/start feature?

Yes, Between the Mazda 3 and Corolla I bought the Corolla for a lot of reasons plus Corolla is $3K less.
How was the ride with the 18 inch tires ?
