I love how cars which are marketed for young people in the Sates are generally driven by people who are over 70 here in the UK.
Similiar here in Finland, toyota has absolutely zero appeal to anyone else so they only get sold to easy swindled elderly people.
TheKieranator I bet american millenials would love to get this uber hip Nissan Micra. Real competitor to the hot hatch Honda Fit.
TheKieranator You mean marketed for young people. There's a reason Scion is no longer here. The Mazda 3 is probably what I saw the most in my high school parking lot.
i never see old people driving an auris in italy, most of them are hybrid and adult owners
old people usualy drive old sedan or modern citycar or if they are rich they drive premium suv
Nathan Bradley I love my mazda 3. It's a fun zippy car that lives up to all those Mazda zoom zoom commercials I grew up with. Scion started with a toaster on wheels, and never got much better, with the exception of the tc. They forgot one thing... Millennials are broke and can't afford new cars.
In Australia this is the current Corolla. And there's a sedan too
Didn't realise it wasn't the same for the rest of the world lol
Nick Bruno yeah this is weird. The "top spec" is called a Corolla Levin in NZ, same in Aus?
Australian Corolla hatches all have torsion beam rear suspension. US Scion/Toyotal iM have independent rears. US get the better spec, downunder get the better pricing.
The interior looks like the Japanese Corolla Axio. Wonder why Toyota doesn't just stick to a universal name for the same car.
The interior is from a corolla
I think i'm most impressed that you called it a "RAY DE ATOR" opposed to a "RAAAHH DE ATOR"
This is the fastest car in the world
Riswan Ahmad P. With awesome MPG. On your face Bugatti and Koenigsegg!
and its the best rally car to!
Riswan Ahmad P.
Was one of the best ep they did.
Move over, Accord V6! :^)
Riswan Ahmad P. Any rental is the fastest and most durable car you'll drive
Quickie with dead car brand. Some consider that Auto necrophilia.
Mazdarati at least he didn't need to bring flowers...
A quckie with an Oldsmobile is double kinky.
_C'mere grandma..._
Maxwelhse *A QUICKIE WITH A STUDEBAKER*
The '17 is identical literally except for Toyota instead of Scion badges.
A Quickie with Pontiac
I consider this one of my favorite RCRs simply because it's so candid and organic. I get why it's referred to as a "quickie" but it's honestly a fun experience hearing you riff in real time and shoot the shit with the owner.
It is Auris in Europe and it is not a larger Yaris. It is Corolla hatch, which makes sense why this is simply a Corolla in Australia. And that means it is Mazda 3 size/competitor.
It's a Corolla here in the states too now.
Every CVT-equipped car I've ever driven has done the fake shifting thing. Probably because the average person just jumping into a car, not knowing whether or not it has a CVT, feels like shifting is just "normal" behavior. Not shifting is "weird". But if you know how a CVT works, fake shifting just seems like a waste.
ARentz07 the auris hsd (hybrid), which could be compared to a CVT, doesn't fake shift. Sometimes you can feel like it's doing it but it's just that you applied just a bit less pressure on the throttle for a second.
Maybe they do that to avoid people saying "There's something wrong in my car" or "My transmission is slipping" or things like that.
It's because people were getting motion sickness.
My HR-V doesn't shift. It drives like an extraordinarily overweight electric car with either no power when you need it (particularly down low) or *oh shit i'm doing 100 now how the fuck did that happen*. I think the transmission is continually trying to adapt to my driving style, which is a fool's errand, so i constantly get jumpy, racy starts when I'm tooling around town, or slow, lethargic yawns of power when i've got 500 feet to be doing 80. It's pretty fun though, really holds its own into corners.
@@Jaqen-HGhar Elaborate?
Fun to drive, I have a 2018 Toyota iM 6 speed, if you hold down the auto collision button till it really turns off, same with traction, and you can spin tires for days. If built, this car will be its own monster.
In the U.K. It's the auris which is the larger yaris
So this is a corolla platform after all?
In the states that's what they call it now.
In Australia and NZ the Auris was always called the Corolla
I'm from Europe, I just thought the Auris was the Corolla's next gen
brendan1994nl in America we call it the oral!
As many have pointed out, it drives similar to the Corolla because it _is_ a Corolla. The hatchback version in Europe was renamed the Auris, where NZ/Aus keeps the Corolla name for both the Saloon and the Hatch.
I lost it at "Little muffler, little hush hush! "
It drives like a Corolla because it is a Corolla i dont know in the US but in Canada they sell it has the Corolla IM now
Samuel Rose I've seen a couple of these with Toyota badges in California
scion brand is not longer active, ended in august 2016
It's the same here in the States too.
Samuel Rose this car is closest to the Lexus CT here in the states.
In South Africa as in Europe its known as the Auris. As far as I know its a Corolla hatchback...
So quickies aren't shorter, they're just like live reviews.
Neat
I've always assumed same platform at the Prius V, but much better looking. I think hey I should buy one then I remember the Mazda3 exists.
yes!!!!!!!!!!
This is the Current Corolla in Aus/NZ.
im sunk into this seat, so i gotta J A C K M Y S E L F O F F

2:07 Looks like those might be knock sensors, though I'm not certain. Also, pressurized coolant reservoirs, rather than radiator caps, have been the norm now for some time. My '95 Saturn had one and my '05 Silverado has one, and I honestly can't remember a car that I've seen that was made in the last 20 years or so that has a radiator cap.
Pressurized reservoirs are common, but radiator caps are still the norm on many cars. All of my cars made in the last 20 years have radiator caps.
Okay, I almost shat myself when I saw the neighborhood because it looks extremely similar to the southwest Philly suburb I grew up in. Then street view confirmed that all PA suburbs look like that.
Very well designed engine imo. Makes maintenance easy and nice high intake too..
Auris replaced Corolla hatchback after ninth generation here in Europe. I guess it was just a name change for marketing reasons, because it is Corolla's direct descendant. Even in styling.
yeah just a name change for who knows what reason... thought corolla nameplate was getting old I suppose
They still have the Corolla name in countries such as Germany, but only for the Saloon version.
I do Public Restroom Reviews!
The GearShots Wow... You really do.
The GearShots BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWN EZERA POUND!
Holy shit, he indeed does
The GearShots subscribed
Holy fuck you actually do it!
Subscribed!
The radiator caps have been moved to the reservoir on a lot of vehicles for quite some time. My 04 F150 is like that. It's a pressurized system, but doesn't over spill into the reservoir, instead the reservoir's under pressure with the rest of the system.
The CVT is actually a two speed unit, very similar to an old crusty power glide. When you floored it you were truly feeling it shift.
How does that work?
@@jackveech4941 it has an auxiliary gearbox inside with a two speed planetary set, a couple of clutches to hold the sun or ring gear respectively, then the variable pulley and abrasive covered chain arrangement for CVT things.
It IS a Corolla platform! Auris is just a European name Corolla hatchback.
"Stop it! You're gonna' break it." my parents used to say that to me ALL the time when i was a kid. were does that come from?
My parents still say that to me whenever I go over 4,000 rpm, even when driving my own car. I know I can short shift if I want better fuel economy but in the interest of having fun let me take it to the redline dammit.
I think they don't want you to break it what 5,000-20,000 bucks they just wasted, my parents don't give a shit because "I bought it, and I will pay for it"
my mom says that whenever i do a downshift. lol
Are you rev-matching, or actually breaking it?
rev match all day fam
"Make a contract with me, Scion"

My Falcon XR6 FG has that! It's great to just flick out and put back in while you are in a waiting room or somethin'
my fiesta has the same key as your fg falcon muhaha
After owning this car since December and not having watched this, I can honestly say that everything is literally exactly as he says. I was thinking oh yes that's exactly right the whole time
The iM is the replacement for the Toyota Matrix (possibly where the "M" came from). It's basically a Corolla hatchback.
I like having the engine bay explained in simple terms like this.
Am I looking out a rear window or a Robocop helmet?
I love when I'm watching a RegularCars video and recognize a local road! 9:09
This car, only with a Toyota badge, is 95% of all rental cars in my country. Also available as a station wagon
That double take on the passing Camaro :)
OHH THE MADOKA RIDE
When I worked for Hertz we would regularly have people return cars with CVTs because they thought the transmission was slipping. We would try to explain to them that CVTs work differently from a normal automatic transmission and the sound they were hearing was not a bug but a feature. But company policy was that if the customer still insisted on another car we had to give them one. They always opted for the new car. Never underestimate operator stupidity.
In Europe, this is the Toyota Auris, somewhere else (I thought it was UK and US but apparently not???) it's called the Toyota Matrix.
The replacement seems to be called Corolla everywhere, which I am ABSOLUTELY here for (when I was due my mom was driven to the hospital in my dad's Corolla wagon, so I have an attachment to the name beyond the cool Corollas that were made).
We have a wagon, it's hybrid. Our first hybrid, our first CVT. It was tough for my parents to adapt to, but it was a great first approach to on street driving: with all those new things to worry about, I was glad I didn't have the gears too those first couple times.
The car is the kind you encourage as you pick up speed.
That's what made this so funny to me, because this is the epitome of the car that you can safely call anything but enthusiast oriented.
Some stuff you didn't get quite right:
It is the Auris, it's still sold in Europe in the same name. It is basically the Corolla hatch(As all Corollas are now Sedans)
This is on the new MC platform, which Corolla is based on. So it is still a Corolla hatch.
What's wrong with the flip out key? Makes it fit in your pocket easier. I don't think you can buy a new car in the UK without that type of key.
Joshua Thiel
Agreed
One European car quirk that will break, and Two it's pointless.
It is a lot better than fully detaching it from the remote.
Joshua Thiel The point is that, if you've paid more than 18k in a car and you got that flip out key, why not having a keyless fob? Its cheaper to make and it cant get worn, stuck or be cloned
Carlo Jaime lizenni sure the actual fob might be cheaper, but there's an extra module that controls the keyless entry/start which costs more to install.
Was that Cirno on the front license plate? I'm not trying to weeb where there isn't weeb and I barely know the character but that silhouette is very familiar.
yep, it's a cirno
there's also a kyubey on the rear window
WalcomS7 Thanks for clearing that out. I was looking at silhouettes on shoulders and thinking that was Kamui Senketsu.
Nobody is weebing here lol idk why you had to mention it
I love the look of the Auris with that big chrome piece at the front
Really enjoying all the noises Regular is making when confronted with a CVT in slushbox's clothing
We need more Peugeot and opel on rcr, regulatory peak of car manufacturing
Reminds me of the Matrix. Good fucking cars actually
This scion is a mix of the latest Auris normal and Black Edition exterior with some small differences, like the grille. It has an older version cockpit, clock and ventilation (~2013) but a recent (~2015) touchscreen console and ventilation control.
The Auris comes in 2 sizes: a hatchback with reasonable dimensions and a station (Touring Sports) with a bigger rear. Wheel base is the same.
The Yaris is tiny and about half the price.
^ in Europe
It is a Corolla eco motor…2:28
So, yes… It is a Corolla.
What I love about it, it is the handle the road. It sticks on it, and I used it for long drive… Really nice.
Wait, isn't a Toyota Auris basically a Corolla Hatchback?
The Scion iM uses a platform similar to the Corolla. The current generation Corolla sold everywhere (except Japan, Hong Kong, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) uses the E170 platform. The Auris, which is also known as a Corolla in Australia and New Zealand as well as the Scion iM which is now sold as the *Toyota Corolla iM* in America uses the E180 platform. The "E" in that stands for Corolla. The iM also uses the same 2ZR-FAE 1.8-liter four cylinder engine just like the Corolla.
Auris is its own plattform here in Europe. Its a "Scion" badged Toyota Auris.
Those are grounds for the wiring harness! I have worked on Toyotas for over 10 years and Toyota loves loves loves grounds everywhere.
This is my hometown of North Huntingdon PA!
Props for calling it the Auris.
Oh Mr.Regular, so used to old cars he's surprised by stuff which is commonplace in anything from the last ten years xD.
In Europe it is called a Toyota Auris :)
- It is available as a hatchback and stationwagon
The reason that cvt transmissions have shift points is that to chainge gear ratio under a high load it will wear out the cvt prematurely, so under heavy acceleration the power will cut momentarily and the cvt will adjust ratios then the power will resume, however it will shift constantly through the ratios under light acceleration.
I was just thinking "hang on, this is the Auris I had parked in front of my previous job" :D Yeah, it's just an Auris...
Water will be coming inside the car before you can get it literally on top of the tires...
DeerKoden most door seals on new cars will hold back water
Taylor Mullis The Door Seals are sew fawncy
But it won’t hydrolock.
To be honest, if you're in a place where you can get water that high, I think you brought the wrong car to the wrong place
Love the looks of this iM/Corolla.
Some nice wheels and slightly lowered would look really good.
No radiator cap on the radiator, but only on the overflow bottle is also another Volkswagen feature. Even my '88 Jetta already had that, and they haven't changed it since. Hence it seems to work.
It's funny that you pointed out the handle on the hatch, my 2017 Mirage is the exact same way. There's a handle, plain as day, but I grab the outside every time. And my rear window is the same size.
The toyota c-hr is the last true scion, it just didnt get the scion badge because scion was discontinued.
What's wrong with the flip key? I like that, it means it's more compact in your pocket.
Wait a normal key take's too much space really maybe be a key ring but a normal regular old key.
Test drove one of these it was pretty quick i liked it
Rcr measures his rear windows like he fingers his gfs.
He violated that whole rear hatch.
I love the flip key. Yes I own a Fidget Cube.
6:51 - "Stop it, yer gonna break it." lololo
These are better than the regular monday reviews
It IS a Corolla platform. It's just a hatchback version of a Corolla, with slightly different headlights
This is the 2016 corolla hatch for the Australian market, stuff like the high intake has been in Australian corollas since the early 2000s
I miss Scion soooo much. Also other dead car brands, mostly from GM like Pontiac and Saturn and Saab
I feel like Saturn and Scion didn't exist long enough to build up a fandom. Sure, there are people that like the brands, but they have much smaller followings than Pontiac and Saab
@@solarwalkman i think Saturn has good name recognition because there are still lots of Saturns still on the streets. I know many people whose first car was a Saturn.
It's a Corolla here in Australia. It's the same as the Auris in Japan and the UK.
I like those cars, I'm gonna miss Scion.
In Australia & New Zealand, this car IS the Corolla.
Same in the states/Canada. Called the Corolla iM
From UK, we say Yaris like 'Ya-ris' and Auris like 'A-your-is' . We can differentiate them because of the pronunciation.
We have some of those at my dealership. They're badging them as Corolla iM now.
there already was a large yaris, it was called the yaris verso
I just drove an Auris Hybrid in the Faroe Islands for a week. Not bad! 49MPG, and a full EV mode for slow driving out of villages. Most popular car in Viking Land.
MR2 Spyder also has a radiator cap on the reservoir
Corolla name is gone in the UK (since 2007, and Camry disappeared in 2004) as it doesn't fit with current car naming policy. The UK Toyota range is Aygo, Yaris, Auris, Avensis, Prius, Verso and GT86.
that interior looks much nicer than the bolts
I'm all in for 9 minute quickies
After much research, we recently purchased a 2017 Toyota Carolla iM 6mt for my wife (that's Scion spelled with a T). Typical Toyota over-boosted EPS, but the brake pedal & brakes are amazing for a factory car, and the chassis is actually really stiff, you just have to overlook the under sprung & under-dampened suspension. That car is TRD supercharger, LSD, stiffer dampers & springs and sticky tires away from being a really competitive auto-x car (if you're into ff that is). Even though it's a "corolla" they really only share an engine & transmission; the rest of it is a generation ahead of the corolla sedan, the dwb rear is a huge step forward compared to the torsion/twist beam in the sedan.
Jason Young I was just thinking about this in Auto-x. It looks pretty sturdy and competitive, albeit eith maybe a bit more cooling work. The nose is also a bit out and over which is weird. But honestly this doesn't seem to bad. I wish they came out with a stripped baseline version without the automatic everything.
ZX Spectrum that's the problem/good thing about scion is that you get a (nearly) loaded base model. It does come in around 3100lbs though; it depends on what class you are aiming for honestly, "stock" class it would be fairly competitive, but with that open diff once you get into any modified class it will be this cars weakness
Loaded car? Really, I have the 6 speed manual and it lacks in basic design. It's pretty slow, bad visibility, terrible cupholders, Bluetooth hardly works, clunky gearing, 3000k rpm in 6th at 68mph? Really, if I didn't get such a great lease deal I would be bummed with this car. Real world gas mileage is also pathetic. Car feels so inferior compared to my girlfriends Mazda3. Not a bad car, but definitely overpriced and definitely under equipped.
You get these car to buy them. Not Lease. To keep a really long time with no issues. This motor is easy to repair and been around forever. It is Proven. It is the small 240 DL of today.
The back windshield measures in at approximately one shockabrah
*T O Y O T A A U R I S*
I like the flandre scarlet front number plate logo nice
Auris and Yaris are different things and sold in many markets simultaneosly.
Auris is a name they give the Corolla hatch in some markets to differentiate it from the Corolla sedan... this is also the platform the Lexus CT 200 H uses.
is that a kyubey sticker I spy?
And look at his front plate!
QB staring in all directions.
pikohan 9/9/17 was 2 days ago
Well, he's got a small blue car, if he's the type to name his cars, I can take a wild guess...
is that ⑨ i spy?
In Europe this is the Auris, it's a corolla hatchback version
Walmart brand Toyota is the Japanese Pontiac
No that would mean it was good. I think Japanese Saturn would be a little bit more fitting.
Nick Rynearson but Saturn was built to be like Japanese cars. Pontiac was the gm excitement brand just like scion was
Toyota own Scion. It's like Nissan and Infiniti.
Robert Smith It was a typo... Pontiac they built excrement!
They've been making the Auris in Japan for 10 years, just decided to bring it to the states in 2016 with different badges
Being a megu... The last scion is suffering. Love the kyubey sticker on the back.
Nice Madoka Magica reference on the rear window
Mr. Regular reviewing the iM "I am disappoint". This car literally is a meme.
Some CVT transmissions do indeed have two physical gears in addition to the cone and band. One for low speed and one for high. Probably not a fake shift. Under normal driving you probably wouldn't ever notice.
Apparently it's sold as the Auris in Europe and Corolla in Australia & New Zealand.
ey, madoka and touhou. you've got a real man of culture on this one.
My grandparent's Chevy Equinox has the same style flip key.
The handle on the trunk of my parents Escape is very similar to the trunk handle in this car and after a year of use the whole plastic cover started to come off.
FAKE AUTOMATICS ARE BAAAAD. Finally someone talks about it...I've always wondered the same thing, "why can't it just stay in the powerband?"
