Honestly, I look at the Corolla as a vehicle that you buy because you're intentionally looking for something simple and value in mind. Start adding enough options, etc...might as well just step up to the next vehicle model in the lineup. The LE I think is the solid purchase with that in mind!
Until you hit your first curb. 18 inch tires will cost you hundreds more to replace same for the Wheels Cast Alum bends or breaks. Hub caps 18 bucks each and Steel Wheels much stronger and 16 inch Tires much cheaper. To each his own i guess. Low profile Tires on the SE just put you lower to the ground when the car is only a little more then 5 inches off the ground to start with. I own a new 2024 LE and have to back in my own driveway pulling in forward the bottom of the car scrapes the ground. These Corollas are dropped down to low, they do it for better gas mileage. Don't know if it's going to act like a Snow Plow this winter. Own a 2001 Toyota Corolla CE for the Winter months, 24 Yrs old and i can still depend on it.
I've helped my mother in law to select her new car after the previous vehicle was destroyed by a deer due to bad high-speed handling.She test drove both LE and XSE hatchback, not SE. We also test drove 2024 Pruis, Honda civic, and Tesla Model 3 and Y. We eventually purchased the XSE hatchback after considering mpg, reliability, cost, and performance. Most non car people don't realize that performance is the best safety feature before they total their cars.
Get the low profile tires will add a few hundred dollars, but it significantly increases the high-speed handling for small budget cars. High profile tires with high tread hardness ratings are more comfortable, cheaper, and last two times longer, but it also makes your car very vulnerable on the highway even if you always drive below speed limits. We don't want her to go through the terrible situation again, so we picked the car she really needs.
Get the LE. The low profile tires of the SE look sharp but I prefer the LE’s larger sidewall for everyday driving. The SE front end looks a little neater and the seats and center console are an upgrade but I don’t know if they’re worth almost $3k extra over the LE. If Toyota still had a stick I would consider paying extra $ to get the SE with its firmer suspension
@@alvinsimba734 don’t forget that the LE originally had the 1.8 L engine so I think paying the extra $ for the SE trim over the LE was easier to justify .. the 2.0 L is a big deal it is the party piece .. and now the LE has it
@@shtstirrer that much I know but the 1.8 litre has been reliable for years and still is. I got that in my 2020 LE and 4 years later, everything working as expected.
I have a 15 corolla le with 151k. I would go with the le again. It has everything I need not a lot of crap I don't. Too old to go keyless. The steel wheels are better for the potholes. Will miss the 1.8 engine and rear torsion bar.
@@raymondcanessa7208 it’s been great especially when it’s windy, you feel planted on the ground. I have had mine for 4 years now and 1.8 litre engine does what’s meant to do as always just like any other Toyota I had with that engine in the past. My 2020 Corolla LE is a Canadian spec where heated seats, windshield defroster with blind spot monitoring as standard. As for mileage it’s roughly 27.5k miles for the 4 years I had it. I will be doing 5 year review on it in 2025 here on UA-cam and everyone should see it
Nice car. But the big problem I have is the design of the Infotainment screen being so squared, which in my opinion makes it look dated. And the fact that it also extends a but too much over the Dash. Not a fan. But a Beautiful car all in all.
SE is much stable during the hard turn. There is not that much body roll. BTW, rough road makes it little bit harsh. Potholes should be checked and avoided. Acceleration is not that great, but adequate. I can still enjoy this car on the mountain road.
To be honest people are buying it for Dependability. Second you fail to mention ( The Launch Gear added to Toyotas CVT) the reason why i went with a new 2024 Toyota Corolla LE this Sept. We are talking about basic transportation here. it cost me 23,500 out the door for 25,000. If you are looking for all the Bells and Whistles you may as well step up to a Camry. I still own a 2001 Toyota Corolla CE, Todays Corollas are bigger better built better on Fuel and give a much better ride then the ones from yrs ago. More Toys more potential problems. 32 to 40 Miles per Gallon is fine for Gas Mileage, for the driving i do that is fine. Don't need no Hybrid or Plug in Hybrids as i said more Tech more to Break.
I can agree and disagree as we now have a lot of options for this price and I didn’t fail anything. For this review it isn’t necessarily to explain something like the cvt as I didn’t go in depth for the engine. I give a quicker overview view of the interior, exterior as I’m sure you watched someone else explain the cvt to you. For 23/25k you could’ve got other vehicle or even a Camry which is important information for buyers especially since most do not go to other dealerships to test them.
@@jeffcharlton9660 sounds like you are checking to see if I just read specs or know my stuff 😂🤣🤣 No it will not keep the setting each time you start the vehicle you will have to change out of the normal mod it default as 👍
I purchased Toyota Corolla se last year October 2023 it’s me 2024 model. Now I’ll be putting it out on sale if anyone is interested in Toronto leave me comment it’s a Toyota Corolla SE 2024. 15k M on it
I have to say, between the Civic and Corolla, I'd have the Civic because you do get some creature comforts for the base model like push to start, but no smart key, but Corolla has a much lower MSRP at the base trim, but to me the interior of the Corolla looks and feels cheaper than the Civic
This may seem like a silly question, but those screens that can do Android - how do you actually connect with Android? Do you have to have like an unlimited data plan with your wireless phone company to, say, listen to your UA-cam favorites while you drive?
I don’t work with cell phone companies but I would recommend an unlimited data plan so you don’t pay extra money when using data. To use your phone you have to connect it thought the center screen and follow the directions on the screen.
I used my Corolla ‘16 for 5 years doing DoorDash and the transmission messed up at 236K miles. Got a new ‘24 Rolla LE love it
Thanks for sharing 👍
Did you ever service your transmission before 236k miles?
@@kalani1987 not on time only until much later, it was my fault I didn’t know
Honestly 236k miles sounds pretty good
Wow not bad for a new vehicle. I had a Sentra 2014 and the transmission went out at 62k smh

I preordered an LE and changed it to an SE. the wheels alone are work the money 😊
Congratulations Dave that’s awesome

2024 SE with the premium package is the way to go!
I agree
💯
Fun to drive is a subjective thing. What's fun for me is driving a solid well built car that will last me 20 years. I get a real big kick out of that.
Nothing wrong with that 👍

Great review Anthony. Both are really nice rides. If I were considering a Corolla it would have to be the GR lol! Hope you are doing great!
I agree I would go Gr, great vehicles but I like a little more performance. Thanks Jame finished up with some more Hyundais today 😁👍
You are welcome Anthony. Oh nice I will look forward to seeing those!!@@HawkeyeRides
Watch out what you wish for i read 2 GR Corollas have caught fire and burned up and Toyota refused to Warranty them.
My 2020 SE has paddle shifters for simulated gear changes. What happened? I'm surprised that's no longer included.
It saves money for the company
It’s on the xse now I think
I have got my SE,Loving It!

SE is much stable during the hard turn.
There is not that much body roll.
BTW, rough road makes it little bit harsh.
Potholes should be checked and avoided.
Acceleration is not that great, but adequate.
I can still enjoy this car on the mountain road.
@@swlightn thanks for sharing
Does the 2024 Corolla SE have yellow dynamic trajectory lines on the rear camera view?
Yes
Apparently there is no spare tire in these hybrids - just a tire repair kit
It's becoming more common on all vehicles

No it will not keep the setting each time you start the vehicle you will have to change out of the normal mod it default as 👍

Its hard to justify the SE because its in the Camry and Prius territory
that is a good point and I have a comparison review here:ua-cam.com/video/DXNz_t7BoYk/v-deo.html
I have a 2022 SE I wish it was wireless besides that is all fine . Sometimes I wish I had the bigger Camry but that is like 5-7k more with Dealer
I like them both
Im picking my LE up in a few days. Im in my early 60s, id kinda look ridic in the SE.
They are nice vehicles congratulations

Why are you selling it?
Have you had any problems with it
I love Corolla Hybrid.
Me too
My basic requirements are cruise, keyless entry and power locks/mirrors. Do those come on both the SE and LE?
Yep
@@HawkeyeRides Excellent. Thanks!

No it didn’t
What does jerk a tab mean?
Does the Corolla have the Start/Stop feature?
no
@@HawkeyeRides That’s good news. Thank you.
Those low-profile tires on the SE should be a deal-breaker.
You can go le but the se is the sporty style 👍
XLE HYBRID for me $29,300
They are nice vehicles
Corolla SE es sports?
I don’t understand the question
corolla is sport
Innova mel ju.
The Corolla is a good vehicle 👍
First😁
👍
@@HawkeyeRidesLE all the way man. I got the 2020 LE the Canadian version
Is the hatchback the only model that comes in manuel?
2023 it was dropped
Too expensive even tho I like it
Everything has gone up 👍
@@HawkeyeRides you are about to see a massive drop in prices throughout the year.dealers can't move cars already and it will get worse
