Had a 2003 Toyota Corolla with 250,000+ miles. The car NEVER broke down or stranded me. Traded it in for a 2018 model. Corolla's are #1 in my book for reliability.
One of the things I like the most about your reviews is that, unlike other you tubers that focus more on ''cool cars'' you show us in detail about this basic cars. It's good to know what can you get for your money when you just want a basic, reliable transportation, THANKS MIKE! 🤛🏼
I love this review because it shows me everything I need to know. Most dealers don't give the details like this, and it's good to know before viewing cars.
Your videos are always my favorite, so informational. You’re one of the only few people who talk about the actual automobile key on vehicles. I love that. As a visually impaired person, I love the way car keys feel, and I personally really enjoy sticking the key in the ignition, the old-fashioned way, unfortunately they’re going obsolete (R.I.P. Ignition key) I actually enjoy sticking the key in the ignition and twisting, it’s a satisfying feeling. I especially enjoy Toyota key fobs.
I’m wanting to get this car for my wife. I owned a 97 Toyota Corolla for many years, I drove it everywhere. So reliable, and easy to work on. After owning many other cars after it, I’m deciding to go back to the corolla. I don’t care for all the extra flashy stuff I just want a car that will do it’s job and know that my wife, and baby will be happy with it
The headrests in the back can't be removed anymore. They block a lot of visibility. The sound system doesn't sound nearly as good as a 2005 Corolla. There is no more storage space in the dash area. There used to be three compartments with doors where you could keep things private and not have them exposed to dust. They cheaped out on the interior. I hope they didn't cheap out on the engine and transmission and everything that affects reliability.
Really really wish they hadn't gone CVT with these. It's honestly the only drawback now. I keep my cars until the wheels fall off and a CVT generally WILL be the first thing to fail on any car equipped with one.
I like the Camry and the Avalon better. The reason for that is both the Camry and the Avalon has that new 2019 look. The Corolla still has that old 2014 look. The Camry and the Avalon has a lot of new features to offer. The Corolla doesn’t have the new features that the Camry and Avalon offer.
The Corolla will have a completely new look for the 2020 model year, with spy shots already there. Stay tuned, m8. :) Besides, the all-new 2019 Corolla Hatchback is already here if you're interested in seeing it.... a friendly reminder. :)
The Corolla was refreshed for the 2017 model year. It got a facelift on the front and the dash was completely redesigned. The Corolla remains unchanged for 2019
FarhantheMovieGuy Productions Maybe but comparisons to the 19 are not even close. Other than a sunroof and no android play it has most of the bells and whistles.
My SE is loaded with features that the LE featured here doesn't have: - leather interior (seats are clothed in the middle) - a strip of led lights on the bumper - dual led headlights - rear spoiler - 17 inch alloy wheels - Color-keyed heated power outside mirrors with turn signal indicators - sport mode & paddles - premium package adds moonroof, Smart key (push to start and trunk open button in trunk lid), 7 inch touch screen (Etunes Plus) which adds Scout GPS, XM Radio and Voice Recognition
Davin Peterson in my opinion for this class the le is the best value. The indash gps is bad. The led running lights are cool but not needed. Same with alloys. The best option is the keyless start in my opinion. Leather / leatherette is over rated. I miss having cloth seats personally.
Heard a redesign for the Corolla sedan is arriving for the 2020 model year. The spy shots and news about it looks promising, and I will be looking forward to it once Toyota unveils it. Plus, please take a look at an all-new 2019 Corolla Hatchback if you get the chance! They're rollin' in now! :)
Yea, 2020 seems to be a big year for Toyota. I think more of the next gen changes will be coming on the truck side of things but it will be interesting to see what Toyota does across the board.
Proper Gods Tell me about it. I've been expecting a Sienna redesign to show up for the 2017 or 2018 model year in the first place... same with the Yaris right after the Camry, but before the Avalon. Only Toyota knows what are they doing to it....
FarhantheMovieGuy Productions Toyota has always been slow to update their vehicles. Just because the world today is more of "microwave" society doesn't mean Toyota has to change their ways.
I picked up my 2019 used with 41K miles on it. Drives great. I’m a very normal driver and never in a rush so the CVT transmission works great for me because I don’t demand instant speed from it. If you have a lead foot 🦶 don’t buy this car, you’ll be disappointed and you’ll probably break the transmission.
I had a Corolla rental in Phoenix for 3 days it's was ok I prefer a civic or Tesla but it was decent ..my civic was totalled last week I'm looking at Corollas 2019-2020 at CarMax don't want a payment over $400 a month
While I know it’s not a high end vehicle, but for a LE trim, the use of rear drum brakes and plastic wheel covers is reminiscent of cars back in the 1980s or early 90s.
On a car yes, but on the trucks for example like the Tacoma hell no ! The drums on the Tacoma is like a blessing when rock climbing or going on sand, or just plain off road, because the drum isolates the environment and lets the rear end hold ! Something like the Chevy colorado with those puny rotors in the back allow rocks, and earthly debris to compromise your stopping power but most importantly your hold on the off road surface. The Chevy is very dangerous and sluggish off road when you stop compared to the Tacoma with drums in the rear. Trust me they are cheap on cars, but every truck should have them standard if you get it in 4x4 !
Hey Mike! Do you plan on doing a review of the new 2019 Toyota Hatchback? I know some dealers around North Carolina are getting a few in stock already.
@@MikesCarInfo How do you know how much oil level the transmission has? I imagine it's because of some light on the dashboard. My best friend wanted to stay away from those transmissions and the car she liked has a CVT. (that Corolla model)
@manolosicilia3512 The fluid level will remain full unless there is a leak (rare). When the dealership changes the fluid, they re-fill it with the appropriate amount of fluid.
Hey Mike! Does the Corolla come with the ability to turn OFF the TSS-P? I am so interested in certain trim levels but I don’t want to use the Safety Sense.
Aaron xp If it’s able to be turned off that’s all I cAre about. Do you know if you turn it off, does it stay off or does it come back on when restarting the car?
Since the 2019 is an outgoing model, possibly next year they'll be discounting these for around 16K or so. I wonder about the steering feedback though. Is it heavy enough to feel secure at highway speeds? I know the last generation Corollas('09-'13) had problems with the steering being too light.
The redesign needs to come soon bc comparing this to the new hatchback the hatchback seems like a better option with a new engine a full redesign that looks nic r than this
The hatch looks awful, I much preferred the look of the discontinued Matrix. Can't really go wrong with the reliability of the Corolla although it's so bland. I use GPS a lot on my phone so no Android Auto is a problem with Toyota.
I just bought this car 2 months ago and i love it but i hate the fact that if one of your headlight led go out youll have to replace the whole headlight and thatll cost 1,000 thats what a guy at the toyota dealership just told me today is that true ?
Fevian Cortes The Chevy Cruze 1.4T is $9,999 or $10,000 off MSRP and much better deal obviously. Cruze is easy to ecu tune for $300-600 for Focus ST performance and still manage 50 mpg at 65 mph. www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/718692559/overview/
Norm T You speak like man with paper ass. 9k-10k off MSRP! NOT TRUE! That is just to get you in the door. Its Fla, and they dont give anything away in Fla.
I have a 2019 Carolla LE and as much as I like the car, the options it has and the way it looks, I can't stand the CVT transmission!!!!! I will be looking to trade it in as soon as a manual transmission car comes available.
As new as it is it definitely should have that. But incase it doesn’t, but the “scosche” phone holder that way you can use GPS on your iPhone or Android.
now a hole lot. I just got back from comparing and except for the HUD in the center, it's stupidly similar to the 2019... the 2020 is still a gen 11 as well internally. 2021 will be the year that an engine and interior overhaul is done
haha yeah. theyre a japan based show, focusing on tuner shops and touge (mountain road) racing they use the pointer from time to time in the car intros to point out mods etc
I got one in the U.S, and it doesn't seem like Toyota makes them from factory with remote starters. At my dealership, they do offer an aftermarket system that I negotiated as part of the deal. I live in Northern Illinois, So I'm not sure if they do the same where you live. I know in Canada, they have different cold weather features that you can get.

Inside more advanced
Is this a good transmission? I think it no longer comes with a stick to measure the oil. Does it mean that it no longer has maintenance?
It still needs transmission fluid changes. The sealed system without a dipstick is mainly to keep contaminates from entering the system.
