I drive a 2008 Corolla and yes, they are amazing cars! They are boring as a toaster, but they go and go and go and never need anything more than basic maintenance like changing the oil every 10,000 kms (6,000 miles) and changing the radiator fluid every 3 years. Do those 3 things, together with changing things when they wear out (tires, brakes, wipers) and your Corolla will last 12 years with only a few minor problems (nothing is perfect).
I drive a 2006 Corolla and here is what has gone wrong with mine: I had to replace an old/hardened intake manifold gasket ($10) because the old one stopped sealing properly. I did the work myself in my garage, saving me $200. The exhaust pipe cracked at the muffler, and a muffler shop welded that back together for $120. My belt tensioner seized up due to corrosion; I replaced that myself for $250 (easy job to do). That's it. I also replaced the battery twice, the tires 5 times, the brake pads even more times. The car just goes and goes, and never breaks down.
I just traded in my ‘08 Corolla for a Jeep Renegade and I have to admit I miss her, she was soo good on gas. But Carmax gave me $3000 for her so that’s how you know Corollas are good cars.
I drive a 2009 and I’ve had only two big issues with it other than that it does the job very well. It’s maintenance is basic and doesn’t need anything more or crazy. I will say it is a boring car to drive but if you know how to maneuver it you can go pretty fast and zip through the highway with no problem 😩
Congrats. I work for Toyota and Corolla's are well balanced with modern safety, tech and comfort features. Some more expensive cars fall short with confusing tech and features you won't ever appreciate. I love the touch screen display with physical buttons! The Corolla is the Goldilocks of cars. It's just right.
People say; "Buy a used car and save money", but have you seen the price of uses cars right now? They are the same or more than new, and they have not had any maintenance done on them for the past 2 years of the pandemic, so they are falling apart. No, the best move to do right now is to buy new, and since new cars are so expensive, the best thing to do is to buy something cheap but ultra-reliable, and that means to buy either a Corolla or a Civic as they are the best two.
The Prindle... Lol. Suite life! I just ordered this exact one except black interior.... Thanks. You cover little stuff that other videos haven't like the backseat cupholders. Thanks again and God bless
Good move. I bought a 2012 Corolla with 47k miles used and I am still driving it with 183k miles. Durable vehicle. I continue to change my own oil every 8k miles OW20 oil. Forget the lube places for me. I really don’t like push button start or screens, so I know the transition for me will be difficult
@@jerrikajanae Push button start blows. I have read that over time the button can get stuck and you can't shut off your car. And another issue I don't like is just rolling down one window while the car is off. With a key you can do that. Push button I believe you have to turn on the car. Also putting the car in neutral on a break down and the car doesn't start. With a key you can do that. Key fob cars are easier to steal for the criminal. Key start a little harder.
I’m going back to college in January and I’m learning how to drive and I’m going to get a Honda Accord or a Toyota Camry in black i am naming my car scarlet in black decorating my car in pink and I’m getting everything from Amazon and I’m so excited I’m waiting for my boyfriend to move with me and I’m really excited I’m moving out of my moms house and living close near my parents house I’m so excited I’m going to get engaged with my boyfriend and then I’m going to get married with my boyfriend after college I’m so excited I’m definitely doing my nails eyelashes and eyebrows ☺️
Thanks for this video! Well explained! I just ordered a Corolla LE and although it is going to take a while to get it I'm very excited. I appreciate all the reviews the guys do on cars, this was great from a woman's stand point. You explained things very well in the areas I was interested in learning about. Are you still loving it?
same i just ordered one im exited my friend had gotten one from an auction w 100k miles ik a lot but now she had 135k and she’s never had problems so they are definitely super reliable
I enjoyed watching your car tour! I liked when you tapped things with your nails because it gave me an ASMR tingle..if you know you know lol! Is your Corolla easy and smooth to drive?
Very nice tutorial! You are very wise! I loved that you hid your Plate # and contacts. I hear ya sis! too many looneys out there. I initially put a deposit down for a Toyota Le hybrid that's coming in but then changed my mind being the battery is very expensive when it's time to replace it, and the hybrids are very slow on highways. The good news is..... today I received a call from the dealership that there's one more Corolla LE to arrive in a few months! The Celeste color (my favorite) with the moonstone interior! I can't wait! It's so hard to find new Toyotas. All cars are pre-sold before they make it to the lot. I'm driving a new Mazda 3 hatchback premium package for 6 months now, but getting poor gas mileage. It's a very nice car but trading for the Corolla! I love the look of Toyotas! One of my family friends bought a Corolla 6 years ago. She travels a lot and just sold it with 300,000 miles. No joke! and then a college student bought it. She took great care of her Corolla. Be Happy, be proud to own a Toyota, these cars are built to last. Thank you.
@@jerrikajanae yes! she at first thought it would be easy to pay for a Benz just out of college but learned quickly that she needed to also pay back the college tuition. She earned a great lawyer position, and just this year she sold the Corolla to a college student being she can now afford to repurchase a Benz. How long have you had your car, and how do you truly like driving it? Hows is the speaker system? Sometimes, critics can be harsh. The dealership didn't have one on the lot for me to test drive, but no worries because I know Toyotas are great cars! The LE trim May is not fast enough for some drivers but a good car!
Many congratulations on your new car! I wonder if you can let us know how you connect (image) your cell phone to the screen? Do you use any software to do this, or was it automatic when you joined the screen with the cable?

I have the exact same car😭 got it last month and I’m in love with it. Corollas are so slept on
They really are!!
They aren’t where I live. Camrys, Corollas and RAV4s rule the roads here. Not surprising though, since Toyota’s the quintessential Japanese car brand.
They last very long to

Completely agree! Loving it so far 💛

That's what I was told. I too agree about used being the same price as brand new. I'm starting to love this car the more I review it.
Couldn't agree more. I am looking to buy a used car and see that new ones for the same brand and year are a lot cheaper.
I agree with you!! Used cars are toooo expensive right now! I bought mine with 2 miles on it and it was cheaper than a used one
Facts that’s why I’m looking at this car. It’s reliable and has safety features for a beginner driver like me
@@PrincessYonna1 same
It's a beautiful car! I can't afford my own car but I really loved looking at a bunch of cars when my mom got her car❤️😄
What kind did she get?
The Prindle... Lol. Suite life!
I just ordered this exact one except black interior.... Thanks. You cover little stuff that other videos haven't like the backseat cupholders. Thanks again and God bless
☺️💛
Congratulations on your new car! The updates look great. I have a 2006 and it’s still going strong. Just recently got myself a RAV4.
Wow! That’s awesome. How many miles is the ‘06?
@@jerrikajanae it’s around 180k
omg i have a 2000 corolla! shes doing okay i think...
Yes corollas are an underrated car but so good! Liked your car tour! Happy you enjoy your car and look forward to more from vids in it lol
Lol thanks girl!
I just got this car, but in the black sand pearl color. I’ve had it for two weeks now. I love it 😃
That’s the one I wanted! ☹️ they didn’t have any here
@@jerrikajanae really? I wanted the classic silver metallic, which they did not have 😭

The corollas are the best in my opinion too! This one doesn't have push to start. I wish it did but I still love it though!

I have the same car but it's the blueprint color with black interior and I just got it recently and I love it Congratulations safe travels ❤️🎉
Thanks girl 💗 I wanted the black interior but they didn’t have any! 😭

Yes I like it even more now! It just took some getting used to from my old car
same i just ordered one im exited my friend had gotten one from an auction w 100k miles ik a lot but now she had 135k and she’s never had problems so they are definitely super reliable
I just got a 2022 Corolla also! Only thing is I was SO disappointed that the Apple CarPlay isn’t wireless… it’s 2022
I said the same thing. It doesn't have push to start either.
Wait it’s not wireless ? So I have to hook up my phone for it to connect to Apple car play
@@wilisawalker5499 yes with a regular iPhone charger
@@jerrikajanae I mean that’s not bad as long as I get the car Apple play, I think all the new cars with Apple play it’s not wireless
@@jerrikajanae I get my car next week, I feel I will like it, do it have the blind spot monitor ?
Oh very nice! I enjoyed learning about this car model. 💕🥰
I laughed so hard when you said Prindle! I can't imagine it called anything else 😭😭
Likeeee what else do we call it?!! 😂
I want a new car so bad but I just paid mine off so I'm going to ride it until the wheels fall off lol. This one is nice though!
Thats how I feel about this one! Lol
I enjoyed watching your car tour! I liked when you tapped things with your nails because it gave me an ASMR tingle..if you know you know lol! Is your Corolla easy and smooth to drive?
Glad you liked it! Yes it drives very smooth, thanks for watching 😊
Purchased mine in black yesterday, I had a 2007 camry for years!
Black was my first choice!

It connects automatically if your car has Apple carplay. Just connect it through the USB port
Thank you for this informative video. I subscribed to your channel.
Love it!
Hey Congrats, what's did the total price come to ? I'm in the process of buying a toyota corolla too 🤣don't wanna over pay
On the lane departure assistance can you turn that off? I don’t like the idea of the car steering me back lol I’m looking at this exact model to buy
Yes you can disable it! Lol
@@jerrikajanae great! Thank you sm for replying. I subbed btw lol
@@torey4322 no problem!! Thanks so much 💛💛
How much was yours? Sorry if you say it and I missed
I just bought this car today!
What color did you get?! ☺️
@@jerrikajanae Blueprint
This is the car I want to get. How are you liking it thus far?
I like it but I wish I would’ve gotten the Hybrid version
Does the seats have height adjustability??
Yes it’s on the left side of the seat
What does the touchscreen multimedia, infotainment system do without a phone?
It just shows your radio, bluetooth, and your contacts.
@@jerrikajanae thank you
Now I miss my Toyota 😭 one I'll get one again.
I’m coming from a chevy. Im getting used to this one though 😅
@@jerrikajanae do you feel toyota rides smoother? I'm in a Nissan which isn't as smooth as a Toyota to me.
@@travelwithtee2651 yes, it definitely rides smoother than my previous car
Is it good in snowy places?
I wouldn’t know. ☹️ We rarely get snow where I live
How many miles do you have on your car now? Mine is pushing 800 miles @ 5 wks…..😬
About 4,000 I think 😂 but I commute to work.
@@jerrikajanae oh, ok lol. I’ll be @ 1000 miles this month, most def! 🙃
is it push start??
No ☹️, I think the SE is though.
Hi does your car have remote start?
No ☹️ but if you get the hybrid version or the SE I believe they do.
You know you don’t need the phone stand? There is Apple Car play and android auto
Huh? I know that I literally talked about Apple Car Play in the video. It’s to hold my phone when I’m driving.
awes
be careful while driving too many crazy people out there.
Your beautiful
Good car for a sista
