@@OddlyHuman The HC cannot get the power to the ground for traction. You are better off with a regular aspirated Challenger with the 6.4 engine 392 with 275 tires or the wide body model with 305's that will keep the car planted from fishtailing or spinning out and crashing. These lower regular aspirated Challengers are better bang for the buck and much more street friendly with usable power than a supercharged Challenger HC.
I just bought a 2022 apex se. Yes i have the cement color and the 6 speed manual. I LOVE this car. Got it for 35k out the door, so i might have paid a bit much for it, but i wanted toyota reliability and a comfortable car. Hondas suck now. The new Si is a 1.8 turbo. No thanks. Honda turbos are trash and the suspension is total slush. I found aftermarket support with intake and exhaust, headers, midpipes catted and catless and even an E85 tune.
Hey Sarah, great review can’t wait for the GR either glad to see the refinement on the CVT Gotta love Toyota although the 6 speed is the way to go. Noticed an F bomb sliped through is give it the beans A little bit more footloose and fancy free or did you run out of squeaks🙂🐧🐧🐧👍
Thanks for researching the origin of the Apex name. It's great to know we can trace it back to an earlier vehicle. The under body is so impressive, in terms of build quality. The photo shots of the Apex's underbody are sensational. The image of the high quality rear muffler is so impressive. Thanks for going over the exhaust pipe and brake dimensions while reviewing the suspension. On my first try I found it harder to change rear McPherson struts versus the front. Glad to know the rear shocks are separated from the springs. Thanks for mentioning it's both direct and port injected. Toyota clearly has an intent to protect its reputation for building durable quality engines.
Driving slow cars fast is what I do every day! The roads back home are tight, twisty and super fun, even with my little 100 hp Renault. When a car can be fun at 70 or even just 60 km/h you know you got the right one ;)
I can appreciate that toyota is trying to stay away from turbos and develop thermally efficient engines instead as a sustainable approach to better fuel economy and power. I do feel this was a missed opportunity to pair the 2.5L engine from the Camry/Rav4 to a 6 speed manual for some added power. As it sits, when the GR Corolla is launched, there is no in between vehicle. So Impreza, WRX, STi, (formerly) Golf, GTI, Golf R, Civic, Si, Type R; it’ll just be Corolla, GR Corolla. Otherwise, Toyota did something right with the Apex, negative reviews be damned. Can’t ever find any for sale and the 120 or so manual versions came and went.
I agree with you on the 2.5L engine; that extra 30hp would go a long way to improve this (and the hatchback version). It wouldn't even lower fuel economy that much with the CVT. It may be a case where the engine wouldn't fit?
Agreed, From a Scion TC owner. That 2.5L 2ARFE is a lovely engine, but doesn't get best fuel mileage. Now that I think about it.... that 2.5l is shoe horned into the TC very cramped engine bay, probably won't fit the corolla platform
I totally get how a relatively slow car can still be lots of fun to drive, especially when it has character and decent handling. As for the engine seeming a little muted compared to the manual one you drove before, I think it's just the more direct connection between the engine and the wheels. I experienced the opposite when buying my Subaru Crosstrek. Between the pandemic and supply issues, I could only test drive a CVT version. Once I got my 6-speed one, I noticed the engine is a bit louder, but not in a bad way. Especially with that boxer thrum, it actually sounds a little sporty; and it even drives a little that way despite only 152 hp. As for the weight, it's probably a combination of all those steel parts in the suspension instead of aluminum along with all the safety & tech. Plus some chassis bracing and maybe a strong unibody structure. Still, 30+ mpg no matter how you hammer on it isn't bad, considering it's not a hybrid or a small displacement turbo. And it'll probably last until there are no more gasoline powered cars.
Nice TLC reference! I really like this car. Well-dressed and not boring exterior, and I like the horizontal stripes on the seats a lot. It would be interesting to know what you would do to add a little performance improvement. Thank you to the hardest working UA-camr… two videos in two days! 👍👍👍
I've owned the 6spd version of this car since April 2021, and had the same question. I finally took a chance on a chip tune (stage 1, recommends just an aftermarket drop-in filter) and I'm pretty happy with it. My current tune advertises up to 186 hp & 170 lbf, optimized for 89+. I've yet to dyno the car, but a bluetooth obdII paired with an app gives me approximations of torque and power; the estimates exceed stock numbers and are close to the tuned numbers. Look up AMT Tuning. I do not recommend "pops and bangs" tunes - they seem really obnoxious. This car shines on winding roads when in stock form, and is pretty much what I hoped it would be - a nimble everyday driver. Eventually I'll replace the exhaust (headers and all) and possibly the intake to take advantage of a more aggressive tune, and make it a little more suitable for open track days.
Sounds like the CVT transmission doesn't want to "GO"...If you drive a CVT transmission equipped Corolla like for fun won't it destroy the CVT transmission in no time? Isn't the Corolla better off with the longer lasting more durable tried and true 6 spd. manual transmission which has a longer history on the Corolla? Did you find the CVT had better acceleration than the 6 spd. manual XSE Corolla you drove prior to this?🤔 The mark ups prices are way above $28,000+ for a Corolla in fact that's about the price my local stealership wants on the Corolla SE hatchback with CVT transmission with no blindspot warning system. I would rather have the 6 spd. manual and at the invoice to MSRP price. Not $5,000 mark up on the SE Corolla with a CVT transmission I don't want.
FACTORY STOCK I DON'T DO MODS AND AM NOT A MECHANIC. HOW DOES THIS OLD SCHOOL SIMPLE COROLLA IN HATCHBACK WITH 6 SPD MANUAL COMPARE TO CIVIC SI 6 SPD. MANUAL IN HATCHBACK OR PERHAPS CIVIC SI ONLY COMES IN SEDAN BODY?🤔 WHICH CAR WILL LAST LONGER WITHOUT PROBLEMS? COROLLA WILL STILL OUTLAST HONDA CIVIC 1.5 TURBO ?🤔
Another great review, as always! Thank you for all your hard work, and clearly having fun doing it! Still an inspiration to women mechanics everywhere 😁
Agree the XSE Apex gets into Civic Si territory. But, the SE Apex has cloth seats and gets in under $26k. I think there's a place for a "four door Miata" that gets 35mpg and doesn't break down.
The weight comes from the tech and safety, everyone wants their gizmos and doo-dads and all that stuff adds up fast. Looks like a nice little car, with another 60-100hp it could be great.
"I like driving slow cars". I get it. it's fun to drive a car with just enough power that you can use all of it. It's even more fun with a stick shift. Very powerful cars are so quick that you can't use all of it except on a track.
I was going to cook dinner, but this is better. Nearly everything you touched was steel, so that's the weight. And yes, it's fun driving a 'slow' car fast, because you're on its limit all the time. Ask Captain Slow.
Thank you for a great, interesting and fun to watch review! Of all the 'Tubers reviewing various things, your reviews are head and shoulders above the others. I believe your comments and never feel that I'm being talked down to.
"It's a momentum car"🤣😆🤣 But then again from personal experience (don't know if this will last as long), but my momentum car lasted 380k. You just have to be patient with it, it'll get there....eventually 🤣
The first time I've heard Sarah curse without bleeping it out and nothing has made me happier for some reason haha. Maybe no bleeps in the Give it The Beans channel?
I subscribed so quickly to your channel, I love your energy and how funny you're when explaining the real stuff. I'm glad youtube recommended your videos. Oh and it's the first time that I see someone take a look at the bottom of the car, no other channels (that I know of at least) do this.
I was always an American Muscle enthusiast, still holding on to an sn95 mustang, but last year bought my first Toyota, and I will never look back! I'm hooked on your channel and love the fact that you review Honda and Toyota! Keep them coming, you have the best channel for gearheads Sarah, so thoroughly thought out, you're awesome!
Same exact situation happened to me after doing a factory order in 1987 and waited one year to take delivery on a 1988 Mustang GT with 5.0 engine, 5 spd. Manual transmission with 3.08 rearend. I had this car for 31+ years and got 280,000+ miles out of it.😁✊️👍
Awesome review, Sarah. I totally get what mean about a car that makes you smile. Smiles per gallon are way more important than miles per gallon. The TLC reference was wonderful too. 😍
I'd like to see you have a go at the Kia Forte GT, preferably the 6-speed. I got a '21 model a few months ago and I'm still loving it. *edit* I looked at the Corolla Apex when I was car shopping a few months ago, I liked the styling a lot but I wanted a little more power and I couldn't find any to go and test drive anyway.
I’m not sure how things are down there, but up here, people who drive around in Crayolas and Camrys are probably some of the worst drivers on the planet. Oblivious moving pylon is what all of them are. No exaggeration. This being said, I’ve had to drive a few Crayolas around for rentals and what not. Compared to the competition (Honda and Mazda), I will always take the alternative. Being an enthusiast, I always thought this thing was supposed to be the best next thing to sliced bread. It isn’t. It’s a far cry from it. The only thing it has going for it is it’s a Toyota. So people who need transportation (an appliance), this car will be all they will ever need for 15-20yrs. Great for those who don’t care about cars or how they present themselves to the world. 🤷🏻♂️ You sure loved every second of it though. 👏🏻😎
I got this along with my 2023 hellcat . The Corolla is slow but it is still somehow fun to drive 😂. It’s like having an overpowered character and just having fun with a low level character on an alternate gaming account .
Toyota has plenty of great in house design engines including this 2.0L. They should have used this engine in the entry level Supra. It's would have given the Corolla a halo marketing effect.
Another entertaining, fun and informative review, thank you. Love your energy. It's great that you are genuine and honest about the car. Also, love your appreciation of the simple old-school nature of the car.
This could've been a new age AE86. the GR models are beautiful but no average every day person is affording one. Tune the body for great performance, 190hp engine, RWD, lightweight body, around 20k starting price. Maybe even going back to a 2 door style just for uniqueness. Missed opportunity.
I think what you are paying extra for is the extra set of injectors and the physical 1st gear. Most other cars in this category, don't have those things. This car will last a long time, and not cost much to run or maintain. No replacing the CVT at 150K or periodically having to clean the intake ports. That is why this car is worth $28K.
Corolla's not an exciting car. I'm on my 4th corolla as my daily and you buy it for the fuel economy. The higher "sports" trim is mainly cosmetic. The small mechanical differences between trims are not that noticeable. It will however outlast most cars out there.
Always love your reviews. Thorough and entertaining, and you talk about the things that really matter. I appreciate that. But what I really want to comment on is that wireless mic when you're in the car. The audio engineer in me can't not say something. I don't think that mic is as omni directional as RODE claims. You sound totally off axis. That's probably mostly caused by the noisy environment, but being over your shoulder and pointed away from you isn't helping. Proximity is the best way to combat the noise. Try it on the seatbelt over your left boob, pointed up. With that furry windscreen I doubt that any noise your hair might make will be audible over the background noise. If it is, move it down a little. And don't worry about how it looks. We all know what it is and why it's there. Or get the lav mic that connects to that transmitter. Keep up the awesome work. Love both your channels.
How is it that you know about walrus pubes? In the near future, will you be giving the new Mercedes EQS 580 the beans? Will the 580 be an electronic nightmare?
too bad the exhaust is nice because it's coming off. MT, OK, CVT come on. Si has more power and weighs less. Hope the GR Corolla comes and would hurry up.
No that’s 100% we’re getting a GR Corolla I know this for fact I can’t disavow my sources… my father may or may have not worked for the fork lift division of Toyota😏
I always appreciate a fair review, of a modest car. We can't all afford Hellcats.
@@TonyCrispruby the average person can't afford a hellcat tf u on about lol

Why is it that the USA made versions of models originating from Japan or Europe look “cheap” with obvious cost cutting.

Grandmas ultra reliable economical will it to the grandkids so they can destroy it kind of car.
It sounds like you're going a 100 mile s an hour when you go buy and looks like your doing 30 miles an hour
Anyone can drive a slow car at 9/10 !
A faster car requires more skill to drive at 9/10.
Sarah, you literally talked to the car. That alone makes it worth four penguins on the likability scale.
Forte GT 1.6T with a RaceChip😍
I bought a new 2000 toyota echo. weight 2085 lbs with 109hp it has and still is fun to drive. coming up on 200k miles. runs like new.
It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car slow.
So the transmission is sort-of the old GM 2 speed Powerglide 🤪
CVT interesting 👀 ( for me I say it's still trash 🙃👍🏼 )
"It's a momentum car."

"A ton of character" is not something I'd expect anyone to say about ANY Toyota Corolla (until the GR comes out).

I have the 2021 SE Apex n i love it same color n everthing just that i have the SE Apex love this car
❤😂530 what every father wants to know you do what you know 4 fingers excessive 😮 down grade give some back😢😅😊
How is it that you know about walrus pubes?
In the near future, will you be giving the new Mercedes EQS 580 the beans? Will the 580 be an electronic nightmare?
Cute little buggy.
too bad the exhaust is nice because it's coming off. MT, OK, CVT come on. Si has more power and weighs less. Hope the GR Corolla comes and would hurry up.
No that’s 100% we’re getting a GR Corolla I know this for fact I can’t disavow my sources… my father may or may have not worked for the fork lift division of Toyota😏
