The Toyota Corolla SE is My Favorite Corolla Trim and Here's Why

  • In this video We'll take a look at the Toyota Corolla SE Nightshade edition and find out why it's my favorite trim in the current generation Toyota Corolla Line up.
    The K120 Direct Shift CVT transmission in the corolla is hands down as good as a CVT can get. With the physical first gear and the way it mimics shifts.
    This generation Toyota Corolla is truly an improvement over the previous generation which I've owned and compared this generation to the previous generation directly.
    No car is perfect of course, the humps on the side of the dash are cosmetic and you can bump your knees on them. The car is loud of course being an entry level sedan and prices has been on the rise.
    The Toyota Corolla is a very functional basic car, but in this generation in comes in a package that I truly like. Many standard features and good looks makes it a good overall value if the negatives about it don't bother you.

    I had a 2015 Corolla SE that I liked very much. Ended up trading it in on a 2020 Corolla SE. I’m very impressed with the safety features, fuel mileage and extra power. One thing you didn’t mention is, on the new model has a new chassis with independent rear suspension. I find the ride improved and the car is more planted on the road. Excellent car, great value for the money and reliability is king.

    I bought a 2021 Corolla XSE used with only 5,700 miles. It was an early lease return so literally seems like a new car. I love the power driver’s seat because I’m much shorter than the average guy. I also like the premium JBL Audio System. It drives really nicely. The only option it doesn’t have is advanced lighting package with with footwell lighting and adaptive headlights. People compliment me on having such a nice car. I tell them it’s just a humble Corolla. But they are still impressed. I hope to have this car a long time.

    Thanx for this great video. It helped me decide between 2022 Civic and 2022 Corolla SE. I purchased the Corolla SE. The selling point for me was the engine, M20A-FKS. Can not go wrong with it, good power when needed, no carbon buildup, great on gas. I followed your advise and did my 1st oil change after the 1000 miles break in period. This is a good point A to B vehicle. Drives good, very comfortable, priced right. Maybe if we stop trying to compare it with other, twice the price, performance sport cars we appreciate what Corolla has to offer.

    Thank you AMD for the clear, well informed commentary on the Corolla! Your assessment of the car is spot on. Roomy, solid, and attractive car at an affordable price. We liked our '21 SE Sedan so much, that last fall we added a '22 XSE Hatchback to the "family motor pool"! So we have two of them and love them both.

    I have the exact same car 2022 Corolla SE Silver 2022. Bought in Sept 2021. The transmission is smooth in heavy traffic; shall I say I55 Chicago traffic jams. No jerking or bucking like other manufacturers. U are not going to accelerate and top out like a Ford Mustang GT Premium. It’s a steady smooth climb to your ideal speed. It’s very reliable so far with 7000miles on the dash. I idle a lot in the winter because of my job, so I change my oil at 3000 to 3500 miles. In the summer I go back to 5000 mile oil changes.

    I ended up buying the 2022 SE and have zero regrets as of yet ( 18K miles ). I use it for work daily 66 miles per day. Its getting 40mpg no matter how I drive it. I paid about $25K and added the extended warranty that puts it beyond 100k miles. I think the grand total with the extended warranty was $28K. This comes with oil changes, tire rotations etc. So really getting the extended bumper to bumper is totally worth it even though it's probably never going to need it.

He drove it about 20-30 miles a day. In about 1974/5 he was driving it 44 miles each way to work.

    Thank you much for this review AMD. You are a fully trusted source for me, and I appreciate it. I am in a frustrated state in that I want a "luxury Corolla" with best ride quality and I know that is the xle model. But I want that CVT (least offensive as I really want a geared automatic but not to be had), but it is not in the L model Corolla's. Wish Toyota would do more for interior sound deadening also...they dropped engine cover and no silencer pad under the hood...really cutting costs. My 2009 corolla with how they made the sound deadening and low wind noise then, is arguably quieter than current gen. Thx again!

I bought the Rav 4 knobs and they fit perfectly, just got to take out the plastic piece on the back of new knobs and they fit right on. They would even fit your new Camry stereo knobs

    I agree, the SE is the best value in the lineup (Nightshade is just aesthetics, I wouldn't get it). The 2.0 gets better mileage than the older 1.8. For the trims, the Hybrid and SE probably get you the most Corolla per $, though the Hybrid would be best for those cross-shopping a base Prius. The XSE is too close to the Camry SE's price range, while the Apex IMO is not worth it if you really want a sportier Corolla as it will be way stiff (Just wait for the GR!). If there is a SE 6 speed in the Toyota press fleet, I would love you to test it as well.
    There's more dealers marking them up than selling at MSRP. Anyone want one, find a dealer charging MSRP, put in order in and be patient, but you can specify what factory accessories you want.

    I have an 02 Corolla and my neighbor upgraded from the same car to a 2021 Corolla SE which he loves everything about except the road noise, which he says is markedly higher than his old Corolla! I didn't think much of it until I recently got a ride from him and I was surprised to find out that he wasn't kidding and that the road noise was so pronounced at highway speeds; if his car wasn't brand new I would've thought that he needed to replace his wheel bearings! The noise was indeed higher than on my ancient Corolla. If I do get the new Corolla, I'd have to always have music volume on high to drown out that road noise since it would otherwise drive me nuts (or, even worse, put me to sleep)!

Got it in early 21 for 19,100 and had 1,750 rebate at that time. Still get 36-38 avg in the summer. Only 33 in the brutal cold of winter. My LE is the more upscale one with aluminum wheels and all the safety sense features. And if you accelerate slowly for mpg you have no cvt drone. That happens if you floor it. I never floor it.

    Perhaps Toyota Corolla engineers can morph a Lexus IS with the next generation Corolla where it combines the quietness of the Lexus IS with the roomier proportions of the Corolla. We keep our cars a long time (in excess of 10 years) and we're on our second Corolla LE, third Toyota vehicle. In the past we've owned BMW, Volvo, Volkswagen, Jaguar and Land Rover, but looking forward, it's only going to be Toyota/Lexus. Once Toyota/Lexus perfects an electric vehicle, it'll be time to give up our current 2012 Corolla! Enjoyed your video review.

The only things I didn't like was that the back seat didn't fold flat, just in case someone wants to sleep on the passenger side. Some cars fold out flat, and that is nice. I brought a tent for camping anyway. And, the 2nd thing, the tires are great on the road. But, I went on some gravel roads, and went real slow, because they didn't seem too beefy, and I didn't want a flat. Last, like you said, a little loud compared to a mercedes, etc. But, overall though, I couldn't believe how nice this car drove and how comfortable it was. I could totally drive one anywhere.
