The Corolla: a reliable, 170+ hp car that gets 40 mpg, that looks good, with all the electronic gizmos offered at a good price. Still gets shit on.
I get 23 mpg because I drive like a dumbass teenager (I am a dumbass teenager)
@@thecloverboi Love the honesty hahaha
@@thecloverboi Same but with the 2012 corolla. I get good milage when im just cruising, but wide open stretches of road always get the better of my judgement.
@@thecloverboi 🤣🤣🤣
I have a 21 se hatch 6spd that I bought in Nov. 2020. I have a tiny bit of wear on the fake leather steering wheel after 3 yrs of ownership. It's been perfect other than that. It still drives as well as day 1.
“You’re a soldier going off to war with an empty locket.” A gem of a sentence that hits deep.
went down the comments looking for this, and was not disappointed. This is why I watch RCR
For some reason that statement struck me with curiosity, and I've been thinking about it for a while now. Could you or someone more linguistically-inclined than me explain what it means in layman's terms?
big chicken It means you have no loved one waiting for you at home. Captain America with his picture of Peggy in the compass, as an example of someone who does have a loved one and the picture is a reminder of what they are fighting to get back to.
@@WaywardPondering Gotcha. I think I understand what he was trying to convey now, I'll have to think about it more. Thank you for the explanation, I appreciate it. (9:30 for personal reference.)
Woah you watched the video too?!!
-relatively low price point
-170 hp motor that easy on gas with 6 speed manual option
-drives and rides ok
-has all must-have modern bells and whistles
so its basically the car that enthusiast craving for in this overpriced crossover era
I don't want all the modern bells and whistles, because thats a code word for useless stupid flimsy shit that will break.
@@Dziugenonas this
but its a toyota lol
@@LifeAsAPotato yeah, Toyota made the MR2, Celica, Supra, AE86, the modern 86, they make fun cars you can drive everyday and not worry about it blowing up. It’s the same for this Hatch, yeah it’s not fast but it’s fun to throw around in back roads. And if you really care about power; with a tune, some bolt ons, and some wider tires you can make this more of a “hot hatch”. I’ve seen people push around 200-210 with those mods and it’s a fun car, it’s about as fast as a Veloster Turbo, and it’s an N/A engine!
@@mr.roomtempiq9884 i was replyin to the dude that said the stuff will break i wasnt dissing toyota i would never do that
I’ll 100% buy this over any crossovers
"Why can't we have the good Yaris?"
You think Americans would actually pay over 30k for a Yaris? They don't even want to pay that for a Focus RS or Golf R, and those are infinitely better suited to American roads.
The GRMN Yaris will be niche, even here in Japan, the country where it makes the most sense. If it's successful enough, MAYBE Toyota will do something with the next Corolla. Akio Toyoda doesn't want Toyota to build boring cars anymore, but he's not an idiot. He's not going to greenlight something that won't sell, especially as emissions and fuel mileage targets continue to escalate.
Akio Toyoda is the man Toyota needed.
If it like that, maybe when emision so restricted future GR cars are hybrid at least.
Btw he doesn't have much effect here in south east asia market. The car line up just too commuter type. Not about power, but driving dynamic still sucks
I personally love the golf R and focus rs but they are closer to 40k unless you go used. Its tough to justify spending nearly 40k or even 35k used when you can get a camaro or mustang in the low 30k to even high 20k range. I wanted a golf r but they had more miles and were more money than my scat pack
@@hairychesticles1 Seriously people don't realize how much they cost. Even then, the Focus RS sold like hotcakes, the Type R which costs about the same has been a hit, the new Veloster N has been a sales success. People ACT like hot hatches don't sell well but they REALLY do. They're the go-to enthusiast cars of the average person who needs more practicality than a pony car.
@@JMLueckeA7X old people buy pony/muscle cars, younger people get hot hatches

I'm still waiting for a 3rd gen Fit review...
It's still like an old honda civic.
Apparently they're not bringing the next Honda Fit to NA? Kinda sucks because I've been hoping they'd make a Fit Type-R, but it seems Toyota's beat them to that with the Yaris.
@@Sean-Ax The new fit is a hybrid-only, if I recall correctly (4th gen fit). A fit Si would make more sense to compete with the corolla hatch in terms of power, anyway. Plus, I haven't heard any official word from Honda about the Fit in the US. With the previous generations, it has always been a year or so before the new gen comes to NA from the rest of the world, so I'm hoping for that. But NA hates subcompacts for some reason.
@@LazerLord10 That could be true; I probably read something speculative and misinterpreted it.
@@Sean-Ax Yeah, I also read it somewhere, but I think it was speculation as well. I could see why it'd be axed in NA because of the (comparatively) small sales numbers, but we'll see.
@@Sean-Ax just buy a first gen and K swap it, k tuned coilovers, then put some CTR seats in it & cover it in "Type R" badges. Done.
Having the cam rolling on the floor was a pretty clever way at showing its profile.
I got a snicker out of that.
I love that Redline reference about FunkyBoy on Roboworld
I know obscure references are an RCR signature but even that one surprised me.
Toyota's rumored plans were to bolt the yaris 3pot into the corolla shell
70s trans am review soon? 👀
Such a great movie
I can still hear funky boy
Toyota Corolla. The official car of choosing your starting car when you're 16. Or have your dad make that choice for you.
Wise choice though.
@@noneyabizz8337 Dad's not stupid
I'm 40 and just bought one, also manual. Great car; good looking and fun to drive.
@@clickreportifyouareacrybab5942 No. He bought me a 98 Civic. But someone's Dad did. And in future, someone's Dad will.
@@anxdmeme4208 My bro in law bought both my nieces brand new Jettas last year. They are the most spoiled little entitled kids. One of them also crashed it the 2nd week she had it and he paid for the repairs too. Then he complains all the time that they don't appreciate anything.
“One last talk with the girl who just wants to be friends.” Damn, I’m in my feels in the AM.
Too real
I’d Like one of these. Manual, good fuel economy... all I really want actually.
I’m really having fun with mine! My first manual.
I installed that same Remark cat back but using an Injen CAI:)
I feel like Mario Andretti haha I’m old. Slow but loads of fun.
I'd take a look at the 2020 Honda Fit. I think the corolla may be more comfortable, though. The Fit has less power, but has the weight of a 90's car.
For real, I work as a welder and have a 2001 Ram 1500 5spd 4x4 as my daily and work vehicle to lug all my tools around in and I get 19 highway on a good day, one of these would be sick for when I'm not using my truck lol and a backseat would be cool too
In these crazy times it feels good i can always count on RCR delivering while i make morning brown.
Coffee or shit
@@kpelmao8754 You make brown coffee?
Nothing like mr regular after an all nighter
Joel Marji amen, that was a crazy snowstorm.
I Swear! Lol
Fr fr
oh yeah
I have the 2021 SE hatch 6spd manual. I have no real complaints about it. It still drives like new after 2.5 years, 25k miles. I have zero rattles, no reliability problems, and no early wear. Ahh, the luxury of zero car worries.
170hp sounds pretty good, i'd love to have one of these
Agreed. More than adequate for throwing around within most speed limits (30-60mph)
I drove one once. It's not as good as manual Toyotas of the 90s, but it works. Good midrange torque too.
The weight is an important factor. I think the car is around 3,300 with the manual and that's not exactly a light car, It's about kind of regular weight and with 170HP it's kind of lacking a bit. With 200HP it would be a bit more decent.
SI0AX Gearing is pretty important on that side of things too. Sounds like the first gear might be too short as he mentions that you just want to get it into 2nd gear asap when accelerating. The weight is definitely a big factor. Compared to a cheap sports car like the 86 with 200 HP and around 600 pounds less weight, this would definitely not be as quick. It might feel just as quick though depending on how its setup, some cars are weird like that. My wife’s rav4 feels like it has more power than it does just because its always sitting in a meaty part of the torque curve.
The 2zr-fe that came before had 130 and was fairly peppy with a manual. The 5 speed trans is geared too far apart and doesn’t like fast shifts which holds the car back. Not sure if the 6 speed is any better I may swap it into my 2010 if it's not too difficult
It's K Y L E again
hes got another T O Y O T A again
Should’ve said the shift knob was shaped like a can of

Not gonna lie, the doors feel like a sheet of

I've just realized what this is. This is like the modern day EF civic hatch. Oooohhh boy this is going to be interesting in the next 20 years when no one will be able to find a clean stock one
My spray painted ef hatch has definitely been through the ringer but I frickin love that car
I think the Honda Fit was the "modern day civic hatch"
You had me at 6MT and 32/40 mpg in a hatch back. Toyota Corolla Hatchback SE 6MT the official car of paid DLC on a free-to-play FPS
They should bring the new 2020 Corolla TS station-wagon to North America.
doesn't make sense. The US is the land of the crossover and truck and suv now and thats what sells. I work at a toyota dealership and 70 percent of what we get in for service are tundras, tacomas, highlanders and 4runners.
@@grahamsproductionz you forgot to mention Rav4s
i would go and buy it, but it wont come
@@grahamsproductionz I drove the new Corolla station wagon in Greece and it was one of the best economy vehicles I ever tried. Had more luggage room than a RAV4 and is also cheaper by $4K (costs less than a CHR). I'd buy one if they released it here in New York.
@@grahamsproductionz Jack it up, sell it as a cross-over, and have TRD sell a lowering kit.

@@user-lj9ni4so1d haha carberator goes VROOM
It doesn't sound like anything though, it doesn't sound like a hot little 4 banger, it sounds like an electric car.
Putting an aftermarket intake and exhaust in a 4 cylinder without a turbo, is kinda pointless. It’s made for fuel efficiency, not for sport.
-Names his channel Regular Car Reviews.
-Complains about reviewing another Corolla.
Always liked the idea of a simple, competent 6MT/4cyl. The manual Accords of the 1990s were roughly the same size/weight, less power, but were solid and pleasing to drive.
For me this car offers. Genuinely a nice looking modern car.
Nice looking? Really?
@@pokeytrucker5296 Better looking than the recent past generations lol
I wish the cargo area was bigger. Way smaller than something like a Mazda 3 hatch.
I daily a 2007 Impala LS full size car with a huge trunk and have never used my trunk or backseat... "unless u count the subs"
@@seanguy9720 Cargo Space i wish i cared about my last car was an 04 scoon xB tons of interior space never used aaany of it
Toyota Corolla, brought to you by "white shirt, black tie, black slacks brown shoes, latte drinkers."
jaket2k9 it’s true.
The Corolla appeals to people who have zero imagination, dreams nor aspirations who think entirely inside the box
Mormon missionaries, if it's a decaf latte.
You’re thinking in a box - this hatchback with the manual is very fun:)
And a GRMN Corolla hatchback version is coming soon boxboy
Sure, most Corolla drivers don’t think about cars at all, but some Corollas rip because their owners loved them enough to make them fun. I think we’ll see some awesome ones in the coming years
Toyota really knocked it out of the park with the design though. I'm getting Mazdaspeed 3 vibes
It reminds me of the matrix
Nothing like a econobox dressed up as a sportscar.
At least in the 90s, we had some REAL econobox racers. This is just toyota being toyota. Looks over go
@@goclunker eh honestly, even with only 170hp, this thing does haul ass for what it's meant to do. It's a very fun car to drive, and in the weather it handles like an AWD honestly.
@@SimplyGooch I agree! I recently bought a new 6-speed 2020 hatchback. I was taken by surprise by how fast it took off when I gave it some gas to pass someone on the highway. Just about freaked me out when the car went from 75 mph to nearly 90 mph very suddenly. Was not expecting that. I expected this car be another slow, boring Toyota, but I was pleasantly surprised.
George you literally don’t know what “haul ass” means. 0-60 in 8.4 seconds. 16.3 second quartermile at 86 mph.... that is NOT hauling ass. That is getting walked by a Dodge Grand Caravan... 8.4 seconds and a 16.3 second quartermile is literally laughable
Great summary of the car, I felt the same way driving the manual. Was expecting a hot hatch, but I had to remind myself regular cars can have manuals too.
It's back to being called a Corolla here in Europe, not Auris
I wonder why Toyota went back to using the 'Corolla' model name? I'd wager that the name equates to excellent reliability.
@@mattw8332 I think Auris just didn't really gain traction
@@TC_Hill Hahaaaaaaa, because it's a _car_
@@mattw8332 I think Auris just got a reputation for being very boring. Toyota wanted to make a big deal about how the new model was more exciting/cool so wanted a new name to show this. I guess Toyota assumed most non-car people didn't remember the Corolla name, so bringing it back would make it sound 'all new'; whilst diehard Toyota fans would appreciate them bringing the Corolla name back.
Matt W In Europe corolla means nothing, since nobody bought them
Okay that shot with the rolling cam is actually genious!
I personally think it’s fine to slap on an exhaust to get a fun note (within reason) for driving even if it adds no performance. Doesn’t have to be 100% utilitarian all the time.
They disabled the likes. Lol. Guess its a lot cooler than you thought.
This car looks great! T more I see them, the more I like the design language and proportions.
Though it's called Corolla again in the UK after two or so generations of auris.
I loved that Como La Flor esque intro song, keep up the awesome videos.
Started listening to your podcast again in the car, keep up the great work as always. You never fail to make me laugh and teach me something new with every new upload or post!
Hmmm, now that's a regular ass car.
Its just being talked about alot atm because it's unique.
Now that's what I call R E G U L A R
Not really. It looks more than just regular
The shifter knob reminds me of the MX5 NB I had with a billet aluminium shifter that had some beveled yet sharp edges, not as big or shaped as the one in this Auris, but still something that invites fiddling and caressing as described here. I miss that car, was good fun on Norwegian twisties.
I’m really glad to see this car in action. I own a 2006 Matrix XR and I’ve always lusted after the XRS trim level. This seems to be specced very similarly, 6 speed manual and higher horsepower than the base level. I don’t care if the thing doesn’t scream or peel tires, I’m just happy to see Toyota still making manuals, I really hope they bring the Matrix name back at some point.
I never thought I would hear a reference to Tucker max.
Lollzzlollozlzlzoloz
I’m glad we get all this simplicity without an upmark here in Europe. It’s not a special and sporty feature we have manuals for some weird reason. I’m a late 90’s kid and I remember it was still a luxury to get powered windows and abs in an economy hatch IN 2005, let alone automatic transmissons. Those were considered a luxurious feature (kudos to VW making us believe that at least). The market is changing but still, manuals are here to stay because anyone who can afford a new car cheaps out on options and trim levels and since manuals are considered widely available and servicable they are here to stay as the lowest and cheapest trim level.
Ironically they now don't sell a manual corolla in Europe (or the UK at least)! The irony
p0rtp0rt, well uk has always been in an interesting spot in terms of car market. Probably depends a lot on the average income and the customer habits. Here in Hungary it’s a really even split between manuals and autos when it comes to new cars, however if the car is not a premium saloon or a hybrid it’s most likely gonna be a manual if it’s sold that way. Mainly maintenance cost is the reason people ignore the automatics. Not many people are qualified to work on them since there weren’t many so the cost of a simple routine transmission fluid change is awfully high and you need to have someone qualified to do it because apparantely most laws do not allow wrenching your own car so good luck with even a lip spoiler let alone an inch larger set of wheels (not mentioning you need to have paperwork done about the transmission fluid change because the next time you have your car examined they might suspect you also have “illegal modifications”).
Honestly, the best episodes you guys make are about the Corolla, they're always about more than just the car. And that English major really shines when you do, thank you for always putting your all into these vids
Edit:
This is always my favorite part of my morning routine
Ehhh... I love it when RCR reviews old American Cars. The Ford Ranger was my favorite.
Don't forget the PT Cruiser one too
10:52 "My girlfriend has gauged earrings, AND THEY'RE INFECTED!!!!!"

Ok
"out of all the cars in the world, this is among them."
5:45, expect the unexpected is always a good lesson when watching RCR videos!
I can tell you've had enough of reviewing Corolla's in the tone of your voice hahaha! Good stuff like always though
That shot of the 5.0HO cam rolling accross the floor to explain lift.. Brilliant.
What I appreciate the most about the SE versus the XSE is that it uses 16” wheels which allow it to have the comfy ride one expects from a Corolla. No sense in low profile tires on a commuter car.
Dude the rolling cam was awesome
No pun intended.
I absolutely love this design so beautiful at any angle and I’m not even a Toyota guy but tbh as cool as it is they offer a 6MT they should bring this car out with the V6 with a 6MT that would be so beautiful and the cherry on top
Funny, this is the first time in my life I genuinely want a Corolla.
So glad you have watched RedLine!
It's a Corolla. The most regular car. You guys are the only ones who get a free pass to review it as many times as you want.

I was excited about this car but when I drove it, the shifter and clutch felt about as real as the Cruisin' USA arcade console's. Lightest steering, numbest clutch, tight cabin, small cargo area.
tnga effect. Smaller, lower, and more expensive but claim to be more dynamic than previous
Buy the sedan. The sedan literally has more space than the hatch. And is cheaper as well. I love my SE sedan.
The cargo area is pathetic it made me get a Honda hatch sport and I’m glad I did.

2020 Toyota Scion iM Matrix Corolla XRS SE E210 TRD Edition
Fuck that reminds me of the Galant VR-4 with all it's side badging
2 liter NA in a compact fwd, looks like they took a good look on the previous Mazda3 which you hated and I loved.
Pretty much, yeah. I've been seriously considering one of these since they took the 3 "upmarket" (read: out of my price range) for the latest gen. I'll have to suck it up and get the 6M though since I'm not dealing with a CVT in my daily.
Mazda3 has a 2.5L option and doesn't use CVT. Nobody would consider Mazda3 to be a hothatch, in fact, Mazda's last hot hatch was the Speed3 and they stopped building them since 2012.
What drives me crazy is this is a 2.0 NA with a manual and it gets STELLAR gas mileage. Better than some hybrids. Why are cars getting so insanely complicated when we know this works so well?
Mazda and Toyota “we’re gonna build sweet little 6speed hatchbacks with absolutely no power”
There's always turbos. Granted I dont know anyone willing to void the warranty on a brand new car by making it less reliable.
@@dakotanewcombe7843 Bad idea with those high compression ratios.
@@wristofkings Yeah, that's a good way to remove your head gaskets at the very least....
Is 186/170hp what we're calling "absolutely no power" these days? I know it isn't a powerful engine for enthusiasts, but those were pretty common output numbers for V8s driving large family cars back in the day
@@fireteam_ they always say that in japan too in the 80's that the colla is slow until someone who delivers tofu drove it on downhill and beat every single jdm cars
perfect little communal car , I would buy it for simply practical everyday driving
Drive a Corolla iM first, they're dropping in price fast and you're still getting a similar driving experience.
Nah this thing drives entirely different. The iM used a chassis designed in the 80s. The TNGA platform is entirely new and the driving experience is not even comparable. I don’t understand why anyone would buy the iM when the new corolla is only a few thousand more (17,500 brand new off the lot SE 6MT) and offers more in literally every category. It’s 100% a better car.
Its funny how things change from one country to another. In Brazil our hot hatches are the Renault Sandeiro RS which it has an NA 2.0 making 150 hp and the Fiat Punto Tjet which has an 1.4 turbocharged engine making 150 too. Both of those have refined suspension and brakes, but I still think that those 170 hp make this Corolla faster and better overall experience
I dont care what my friends say, regular's descriptions that zone in on the driver of the car are always accurate. I'm talking to you Damian, I expect to see you here.
Thanks RCR. I'm visiting my parents, chilling out watching this vid, and my mom happens to be in the room at 5:46. That went from ECUs to deviantart faster than an LS Miata.
@3:20 that's really the main reason. To reduce particulate matter. Aka wash the intake valves. :)
I like it.
Hatchback.
Analogue Gauges (I am sick of that digital crap)
Respectable Power with excellent fuel consumption
Most importantly, 6MT

@@TheWatzitooya Probably. I do have lots of respect for Hyundai's.
However for now Ill keep my mk5 Jetta TDI for as long as I can make it last.
Oh my god a Redline reference. Ive waited so long for this day.
Scotty Kilmer approves of this video😅
I like this car from the rear seats forward, I just wish they sold the wagon version in North America. Since the Matrix, cargo space gets smaller with each Corolla hatch!
Owning one is a bit annoying to live with tbh. We take my wife’s Subaru Impreza hatch whenever we want to go anywhere with any substantial volume of things.
Ah the Matrix, with the 2ZZ-GE! Great engine
Nice Matrix!
This guy is back
A new car with manual? That is a gem.
"2020 lives in the memories of our youthful expectations of what the future would look like"
yup
This is seriously one of the best quotes to sum up this year, right alongside the "Scream inside your heart." By far one of my favorite quotes from Regular Car Reviews.
Toyota is making a corolla with the same 3 cylinder turbo that is used in the yaris. They are making a 260 hp hot-hatch basically.
Man I can't wait. Triples sound amazing, hopefully Toyota doesn't screw that up like they did the (stock) sound of the 5.7 Tundra
Bought a Red Corolla Hatch XSE two days ago, then RCR posts this :)
I put a Skunk2 'Spoon' style shift knob on a first gen Honda Fit...only after the stock rubber covered one disintegrated...now that's a nice knob! Perfectly smooth and a nice, not too heavy weight.
Toyota Corolla: The car equivalent of that girl who just wants to be friends
Nice “¡Cómo me duele!” reference.
Just got one, and sure it’s not necessarily the fastest, but it sure as hell looks cool, and has the potential to be a legend on day.
That last few words about “that last talk with the girl who just wants to be friends” the hit different
Somehow, 50 years after the muscle car era and with ever increasing horsepower since then
Cars are less interesting and/or energetic than ever. 170hp corolla? We sleep.
Efficiency. Simple as that. My drive to work is 80 miles round trip, why would i or anyone else get a car or an engine option where I'd have to fill up every other day?
@@LuiBC3
Because people want to feel engaged with their vehicle. It does not mean banging it off the limiter every time but pushing it hard every Wednesday afternoon, is worth the cost for many.
P.S. I am not a HP fanatic. I own an STi, an SV650, yet find myself on a 50cc scooter often and shopping for a BRZ. (just to give credit to my statement, not a brag.)
All fun and games till someone decides to stuff a wutang war whistle in there and forged internals.
Ironically the corolla is faster than a lot of stock old "muscle cars"
@@ciello___8307 Yes, something not enough appreciate. The truly fast muscle cars of the 60s and 70s were few and pricey. They were halo cars that sold all of the more pedestrian models with lazy V-8s making ample torque, but limited horsepower. Cars today are significantly faster than in any previous era, with the most striking improvements in basic economy cars, like the Corolla. Almost all of those suckers were very slow in the 70s and 80s.
It’ll actually make power with bolt ons. Check 2jracing for their mild bolt ons and zero tuning making 35whp.
Variable cam timing makes it so cams large enough to make power don’t lope.
You mean the cams in this engine are actually quite aggressive? And the stock tune will allow them to be used that way?
I’m curious to know more. I see no point in throwing a new exhaust or air intake but would love to get up to 190-200hp. Is this at all possible with the se cvt?
Thanks turd ferguson
What the fuck are you talking about bolt ons dont make power unless ignition timing and air fuel is adjusted the only real bolt om thats going to make power is a turbo, yes we know what variable cam shafts are but it doesnt matter because the cam profile is still dog shit because its not meant to be fast and thats okay because its a fucking corolla
Love you're videos man. helped me understand my own car.
I own a 2021 SE 6spd hatch w/o the TRD stuff. It's actually pretty fun and comfortable. I have no regrets through my first 2.5 years, 26k miles of ownership. There's a tiny bit of wear on the fake leather steering wheel, and that's it.
Calm down bro, it's just a Corolla. Let the boy dream.
I actually like the styling of this car. Corolla/Auris have looked dull since circa 2000, I'm pleased to see some aggressive lines again.
But yeah, Toyota should've made this thing 4WD and offered with a somewhat bigger engine.
@Lassi Kinnunen Isn't that FWD as well?
awesome review dude, love the stick /Manual shift the best sensation for real drivers 😎🇯🇵🔰
This car is a road trip machine. Michigan to Florida in a single day, 1,100 miles no sweat
