The Toyota Corolla SE is My Favorite Corolla Trim and Here's Why
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 03. 2022
- 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.

Still driving my 1997 Corolla with just over 400K miles! Runs like a watch!
Nice!
Corolla are great cars.
That’s awesome!
Any check engine light?
@@mitomr.twiceasnice4358
MOST TOYOTA vehicles are immensely reliable, regular maintenance provided.
I’ve been a Toyota guy for nearly 30 years. What a great resource is this man for loyal Toyota veterans and newbies alike THANK YOU FOR YOUR DETAILED AND SENSIBLE OBSERVATIONS & ADVICE.
Awesome work!
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.
Someone got a good deal on the 2015 SE.
Very well said Sir.. Thank you
Which transmission did you get? The CVT or the 6 spd. manual?
@@microminiskirt
CVT
@@dougturner370 No problems with CVT yet?
I used to have an old 03 Lexus, and I went for the 21 Carolla SE and I love it. Keyless entry, push-button start, and all the features that come with Toyota safety sense 2.0 are amazing. I was surprised the value I was able to get out of a Corolla. Also the new look is pretty appealing
wana get this 2022 but Im still nervous about the CVT cuz im gona do uber eats with it so idk if that would be a problem with the CVT
@@angeldaviani8678 Toyotas CVTs have been very reliable so I wouldn’t worry about it.
@@angeldaviani8678 look it up, apparently it’s not a true cvt. It doesn’t feel like a cvt
@@angeldaviani8678 you’ll be good I’ve been doing Uber in it for a year and no issues
2 months ago I bought a 2022 Corolla SE, with CVT. I paid MSRP plus TTL and no dealer markup. I also got the $500 rebate. So far so good.
I have the same model and trim and i love it!
What location did you get it without 20% dealer mark-up?
In Tennessee the dealers are still charging 5K over MSRP.
@@jaysmith179 same in AZ
I live in Pennsylvania and my parents bought my car from Toyota of York. I don't know how much they paid for it
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.
I have a 2021 SE and people tell me they love my car, most common thing said is, “these new Corollas actually look good”
Again which transmission did you get the CVT or the 6 spd. manual?
Which transmission did you get? The CVT or the 6 spd. manual???
@@microminiskirt it has the CVT. The XSE trim only comes with a CVT.
@@serious_in_seattle6917 What does the XSE have that the SE doesn't have or the differences between these two models? This is where it starts to get confusing. I know I don't want a uncomfortable ride on real world public roads that are bumpy or not maintained full of potholes. Don't want a sunroof. Don't want low profile wheels or tires. Don't need everything power. Prefer not to have lots of road and engine noise. Maybe more on luxury soft ride that cushions the bumps in the road but still prefer a 6 spd. manual trans. for a fun sporting ride. Need blind spot warning system. I know I don't want that nightshade cosmetic option.
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.
And yes, I too have bashed my knee on the dashboard at least a couple of times!
I just got my new 2023 SE. I love it. Looks identical to the one in the video. Silver metallic with black over molds on lettering. Premium package with upgraded mirrors and sun roof.
My brother just bought that exact car. I have a Camry se and a tacoma. I am pleasantly surprised at how much I like his car. Especially with what I have to compare it to. Toyota knocked it out of the park with that car.
I have a 2021 Corolla SE Hatchback 6 speed manual and its my favorite car ever. 35 mpg and fun to drive combined with Toyota quality.
What are your 0 to 60 times in acceleration and top end speed?
its fun to drive, not a race car. LOL i have no idea.
@@docholiday1967 Thanks anyway for your input. The Corolla SE hatchback reminds me of my 1985 Honda CRX 5 spd. manual I bought new back then except the Corolla would be a 4 door version with twice the power but a little more heavy in weight because of all the safety added features.
Anyway as long as you are happy/satisfied with it and hopefully it will live up to the super reliability Toyota is known for.👍
@@microminiskirt most of the videos i have seen on the manual hatch put 0-60 at about 8-8.5 secs and top speed seems to be limited at about 115+/-.
@@docholiday1967 oK That's fine it does remind me of my 1985 Honda Crx 5 spd. manual, when you put those rear seats down in Corolla SE Hatchback, I bought Honda CRX new back in 1984 except Corolla Hatchback has 4 doors, twice the power with a bit more weight because of the required safety equipment. Thanks for that info.👍
Im researching the Corolla because of astronomical gas prices. I have a 40 minute commute to work.
The SE with 2.0 seems the way to go.
Great videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I learned so much from you in just a few days. God bless you.
I'm picking up a 2022 Nightshade Hatch back in a week or so. I love that those models are still made in Japan. I feel giving it a touch more quality in workmanship.
You are correct. The Japanese culture takes pride in their work and are a very well disciplined culture. I would not purchase any Japanese car or any other brand assembled or made in USA.😁✊️👍👍
Yea i always said the Camry was the sweet spot for toyota cars, My younger sister picked up a 2019 Camry with 14k miles for only 18,000 back in 2020. she got a hell of a deal on it in my opinion. Excellent car and so much space.
wow! I just got one for 23k similar year and miles, and I thought i got an incredible deal. well done!
Picked up my 2022 Hatchback w/Nightshade Saturday morning. WoW, far exceeded my expectations and then some. Could not be happier!
This CZcams channel is better than all the automotive TV shows I watched growing up.
Bought my daughter a 2021 Corolla SE for her first car. Exceptional vehicle. It’s the sedan, perfected.
Snowflake child. I wish my father would of bought me a car. I had to work hard for mine.
@@jaysmith179 don't be mad at someone else for being able to provide what your parents couldn't. Having less than others doesn't make you a better person😂
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 have never regret my purchase especially with these insane gas ⛽️ prices
Speaking of gas prices, did you consider the Corolla Hybrid?
@@rightlanehog3151 No, I haven’t considered a battery hybrid car yet because I love gas vehicles because they burn heavy. Meaning in cold weather fuel will last longer than batteries 🔋. Heating your car, running accessories, Lights, Radio 📻 and etc, fuel ⛽️ is way better in colder climates. Try charging your cell phone outside in the winter with an external power bank. You will barely charge it half way. I’ll wait until I have no other choice to buy an electric car 🚗
You change your motor oil? I don't think CVT has a plug for fluid changes. It's a throwaway transmission.
@@microminiskirt U can change the transmission fluid every 60,000 miles. Care Nut has a video on how to change the transmission fluid. It’s the same as the Toyota Camry.
@@natelove187 But Toyota Camry has a conventional 6 spd. automatic transmission and not a CVT. I wonder why? But thanks for that info. I have to find those links that you mention. 👍Car Care Nut has lots of videos.
I like videos from this Channel, but this is a Gem. It's combine my favorite car with presenting during driving. Thank you AMD!!!
My first corolla was a used 2010 corolla s with around 152 miles. I had it for 5 years and I only changed the water pump and alternator within the 5 years considering the high mileage. Of course I did the regular maintenance a good synthetic engine oil, spark plugs, gas treatment etc. I loved it so much and now I have a 2021 se apex manual transmission which I missed the manual for a good 20 years. I'm back to the manuals! The 2010 still within the family still! Love the corolla very reliable and the engine is so simple! ❤
Went to look. Glad to see that the entry level L is still near $20K. This is a price range where reliable is seldom found. Good deal!
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.
Did the same! Knock on wood 🙏🏻
I have a 2017 Corolla SE with the upgrade package, which I have had from new and absolutely love it.
Just wanted to say thank you for this review. I was able to assist my parents in finding their next new car (Toyota Corolla hatchback se) of which they are loving. I am a huge fan of not only Toyotas but mainly your channel!
With CVT transmission or 6 speed manual transmission?🤔
My best buddy owns the 2020 SE in Super White. The TNGA frame handles very nicely during the turns, and compared to the competition, he enjoys the high quality Moonstone interior very much. Great video! 👌🏼
Thanks for reviewing a car that's actually in my price range!
Love your videos here in Australia. Let’s see more. Waiting on my new Ascent 2.0 let Sedan can’t wait 👍👍
Ahmed. Loved the review with test drive. Well done. Please do more of these.
After 8 months the 22 SE corolla has been good to me. Great Gas Savior, Infotainment system is good, I like the hold button during drive-thru. The safety sensors are good.
I have a 2020 SE manual, fun and easy to drive. Funny because i have never bumped my knee on that piece yet 😅
I'm 6'3 and i never bump my knee on my 2020 se !!
@@robme3660 I have a 2020 se manual. I am 5'4 and I bump my knee often. Could not stand the low profile tires. Replaced the tires and wheels with 16's. Now the only thing I do not like is the noise level. Ha, the nut is right on about the noise.
Same
@@edutter9261 my 2005 4runner is louder. The corolla sounds quieter by far. Idk if it has to do with my manual transmission because i heard that CVTs drone.
I drive a Corolla daily for work. I love it! Can’t wait to get into the 2022 model when we upgrade our fleet.
Thanks for making me feel a LOT better about buying this car.
Our 2008 Corolla is still going strong with 150K miles. Seats are comfy and, as a DIY maintenance guy, I love that transmission dip stick. She did have leaky power steering fluid but a few small clamps on the hoses fixed it.
Loved my 08 Corolla.
'08 corolla is the Best
I have a 98 Corolla manual still going strong.
05 are not good
In 2008 what kind of transmission do you have?
CVT OR CONVENTIONAL automatic transmission?🤔
I bought one of these cars a year ago. Fun to drive, peppy, awesome gas mileage and cheap to buy! I've hit my head many times lol. Timmy C Arizona
I have a 2020 Corolla SE and I love it! I bought my wife a 2021 Corolla Hatchback XSE too and she loves her car!
Good video and I respect your informed take on vehicle’s especially Toyota
i had 1986 toyota corlla to go to college :). no power windows, only radio and cassette tape. run like a champ until i crashed in the snow. This is a nice car, if only they offer the SE in a manual transmission. They offer the apex a manual but who buy at that price.
The se is the only model that offers manual transmission !
Toyota's started the Corolla line in Nov 1966 according to what I found on Wikipedia. My dad bought a very used E 10 1st model Corolla back about 1972/3 time frame. He drove it about 20-30 miles a day. In about 1974/5 he was driving it 44 miles each way to work. As I recall he purchased it for $500.00 and use it to trade in on a Ford Courier Pick up in 1975 and got $500.00 allowance. That little economics lesion stuck with me until today.
Super sweet personal story❤. Thank you for your review.
What an awesome review! Thank you so much for this!!
12:18 I went to local honda dealer and saw the touring model civic priced at $31000, and dealer is adding a markup of $7000 .
So $38000 for a honda civic. What a crazy world
That’s pushing it crazy high. Dealers are having a field day with the markups. I bought my 22 Corolla SE for $28,000. No negotiations, no price drop, no wiggle room, either you take it or the next customer buys it. I bought mine the same day. The sales lady told me it will be gone tomorrow and at the time it was a 3 week wait for a Corolla SE coming from Japan 🇯🇵
Wow I have a 2012 Civic I bought new. I paid $17,000.00 new for it. lets go Brandon!
I remember a year or two ago at my local Toyota dealership they had a Corolla Apex xse for $23,000 and I just looked them up and they're in the 28,000 range which is ridiculous
It’s worth it. I have a 2022 SE. it ride like it’s on rails very smooth. Gas ⛽️ saver for real
It is a rip off. The stealerships are taking advantage of the shortages and the micro chip shortage as well as the trucking problem. Don't play their games and just wait for this whole thing about shortages of micro chips, truck drivers and Covid come to a close. Then buy at MSRP or Invoice.🤑
This is such an excellent channel. Thank you sir for your generosity
You are amazing for uploading so much!
I love my 2011 Corolla LE. I bought it used with 95k on it and looks and drives like new yet. Very easy car to maintain..
I’m a car guy and honestly don’t mind cvts for everyday driving. As long as your not rushing off the line they’re fine,smooth. We have 17 hrv,18 crv , 17 Corolla, and 07 crv non cvt. The thing I don’t like about the Corolla is the steering is super lite at highway speeds
Thank you for the excellent review. As a small car guy and not looking for a flashy car. Looks like it is made for me.
Great review Ahmed, had now three Corollas in my household, all bought new for the wife, the last one is the 2014 model with a manual transmission. still going strong just did 195 000 km service. I'm seriously looking replace with now Corolla cross.👌
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 too would like a quiet model Corolla. I don't want all the luxury gadgets($$$) of a Lexus, just a quieter cabin option for highway cruising.
Dude get the xle. They’re amazing. You get the nice interior, the cool headlights, with the non-sport design. I love it. I have the LE 2022 but wish I got the hybrid or xle. I just didn’t know anything about them when I bought in July 2021
My '21 Corolla XSE has the pad under the hood. It was standard.
I wish they would drop the old cvt and the old 1.8 and make the whole line up with the new engine and new cvt
I bought the engine noise pad that goes on the hood for my 20 SE. Took 3 minutes tops to install.
Hi Car Care Nut! Do we need to worry about the 18” wheels on the SE and XSE? Love these trims but the back roads in my area are pretty rough. Thanks! Keep up the great work!!
I’m Upgrading from a 2010 Corolla S and I can already see myself enjoying it for years to come 👌🏻
Haha same
Thanks this was just what I was looking for !
Fantastic review 👍 My wife bought a 21 hatch in nightshade and I bought the 21 SE sedan with the upgrade package (18's and a bunch of other stuff) Two things that bothered me was the rearview mirror, so I got Toyota to install the autodimming with homelink and compass and the tiny radio knobs. 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
Yes, the tiny radio knobs need to go.
Where did you buy those knobs?
I got the 2022 SE Corolla because I needed a car for me. My wife drives the minivan. Hard to have one vehicle. Looking to keep this car for the long run.
Interesting! Yeah-I bought my wife a 2017 Sienna SE AWD a month and a half ago to replace our Chrysler minivan and I’m trading in my VW Jetta for a 2020 Corolla SE or a 2019 Honda Civic later this week. I may have to flip a coin after the test drives. 😂😎
Thanks AMD. It’s great to see the Corolla has kept its core values and mission to-date, plus some fancy modern features. I have a 2013 Corolla and love it, easy to maintain and upgrade (except for high beam/DRL). But agreed on its inappropriate price tag, this class of vehicles should be below 20k.
I just bought one 2022 after this video in ksa and I driving it besides my Lexus SUV . I got the 2.0 engine with no other options at all , really I got surprised the vehicle is really perfect for Daley use and powerful enough , good AC and comfortable .
Thanks allot🙏
Your follower from KSA
I have a 2021 se 6 speed manual I love it :)
I hope the new Corolla's last as long as my 2010 Corolla. My 2010 finally gave up at around 446,000 miles. Transmission gave up.
Man, u got 4 cars 🚗 out of 1
I be happy just to get 300,000 miles
I hope my 2017 camry will last that long. It is getting up there with 70 thousand miles now
u drove a lot.. *gulp*
@@dannygonxalez9011 Yes I did LOL... It was a slow car but it's never left me and my family stranded on the side of the road. It somewhat still drive-able but it won't go into 4th gear.
Thank you for the great info. Have a great day. 👍
Man, good content on a Sunday morning.
Great video to enjoy my coffee
I have a Corolla 2019 LE and it has been very good to me. My next car will probably be another Corolla and the current gen look good. I agree that the only downside is the price keep going up and creeping into Camry territory. But this seem to be the trend unfortunately. Inflation also doesn't help. Please Toyota, all I want is a basic reliable small 4-door car!
I really like the new Corolla, it's come a long way since my 1970 Corolla I drove in high school. I absolutely dislike the CVT (both versions) in these or any car for that matter. I dreaded doing road tests in CVT Corollas. The 6-speed made this car a lot more fun to drive.
Manuals are always better and especially so in small cars.
@@rightlanehog3151 Manuals are not always better. C'mon, you know this.
Right Lane Hog Amen to that. There's nothing like driving a small car fast !!👍👍👍🤘
@@aldrichemrys The are ALWAYS better if you actually enjoy driving.
@@rightlanehog3151 Manual's have their perks but also downfalls. If you are chasing MPG, CVT all the way.
I have had all makes of cars, but now I have become a Toyota fun because of their reliability and functionality. I own a 2021 Sienna for my wife and kids and a 2008 Corolla for myself, I love them.
always great videos
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.
Get the 6 spd. manual because it will outlast the CVT .

I bought this car brand new 2021 I have 12,000 miles already no issues. The only thing I don’t like is the center console that slides, it’s having some play already
I just bought one but do not receive it until mid July. Very excited. Great video. Happy to find one brand new and fairly affordable
I seen one of these at the Portland International Auto Show. I absolutely loved this car!
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)!
Better tires help noise a lot - try Bridgestone Turanza Quiettracks.
@@marklintwo First thing my neighbor did was put Hankook Kinergy 4S tires on his Corolla, which are an update to the Hankook Optimo 4S he had on his old Corolla (which I also have on mine), so no, it's not the tires.
@@sammyt3514 Sorry, I notice a difference with the tires I installed.
@@marklintwo I'm not doubting you; any good quality tires would probably be an improvement over the factory tires. In my case, however, I'm comparing the road noise of the new and old Corollas while both are on good quality tires of the same brand.
@@sammyt3514 Yes, old vs new Corolla, newer a little noisy, but the newer can be improved a bit. Still a bit more noise than the old, but not horrible
Just bought a 2022 Toyota Corolla SE hatch nightshade edition. I'm really happy with this car, the fit and finish is excellent!
I have a 2018 Corolla SE. Bought it brand new and it's still just as nice as the day I brought it home. Nice sporty little car and it's great on gas!
12:30 I did buy a fully optioned out hybrid Corolla, and yes, I'd say it's a bit Camry-like. The biggest reason I didn't buy a Camry is precisely that it is a bigger car. If I was living in the US, I'd have gotten the Camry. Living in Thailand, the Corolla is more than big enough, especially when driving downtown in whichever Thailand city. 🙂
I decided on the LE over the SE. I preferred the tried and true 1.8 with no direct injection. Also found a 21 made in Japan model. Also rides softer than the SE. All positive things for me. 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.
It has direct AND port injection to eliminate the problems.
@@marklintwo I'm aware. Not interested
Such a great channel, keep it up
When my sis totalled the family '07 corolla, winter 2021, I remember going to check out a '17 corolla, and a '20 corolla hatch. and I was astounded, how much more space there was in the sedan, than the hatchback. like, in my head, i just expect that hatchbacks are more spacious and more practical than sedans, but the corolla hatch engineers clearly had a different idea of what makes a hatchback.
I love my 1998 Camry
I bought it new with 3 miles on it
It has the 1.8 liter 4 cylinder and 450000 miles and she still gets over 30 miles per gallon of gas
I have no plans on getting rid of her
maintenance, maintenance, and more maintenance ;) well done!
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.
Love this review, thank you!!!
I’m a “car guy” and I just bought a new 2024 Corolla SE and I actually like the CVT. As far as automatic transmissions go it’s among the best I’ve ever used and it perfectly suits the character of the car.
I am considering an SE manual. But dang they are to find.
Worth it. Love mine.
I still have my 2015 Corolla S with the tech package. It has around 73K, I do find the CVT drone annoying. I would like to get into a newer Corolla hatchback.
I like the way u did your car I think I am going 2 try 2 get so.e stuff make it like it thanks bro love your video
Just purchased a 2022 LE Corolla for my daughter. Very nice ride. Plenty of options.
I wish they offered the hybrid in higher trims. Not sure of their reasoning for not doing so.
Also, of course, the wagon version here in the US would be great!
👍
I would love to get the Hatchback with a manual.
Great video! Ive traded in my 2014 Volvo XC70, which I loved, for a 2023 Corolla SE, all black. Love both but the Corolla has so many more features and so good on gas, amazing! Ive got a compliment on it today, never happened when I owned the Volvo…
Dan that a mouth full ! I going to buy a new Toyota Corolla as long as it’s made in the Japan ! Keep my 2010 Toyota Corolla le! 180,000 thousand on it ! Man I learn a lot about Toyota! Thanks for sharing! Houston Texas
AMD, Now you are working Sundays? If Toyota had not shrunk the Corolla so much, the SE manual would be my top choice. If selecting an automatic, the 50+ mpg Hybrid is
hard to beat 😁
The video is released on Sunday, doesn't mean he's working on Sunday.
The car guy in me would go for the 6 speed manual😁
Hi. Thanks for the beautiful videos.
Just came back on a trip to Joshua Tree in CA and had a 2022 corola as a rental. I couldn't believe how nice and easy that car was to drive. Super smooth, excellent feel, pretty quick. 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. Great seats!
I believe the SE has the best engine setup as well with the best Gas Mileage
I own a 2021 Corolla Hatchback and love it, but a family, imo, would be better off with a sedan. Btw, the SE level can be bought with a 6-speed even in sedan model.
Another great video!
Thanks for sharing this video. Interesting video.
I’d like to know your opinion on the manual transmission with the se 2.0 engine? Is it a good or great combination?
Great I would say 👍
I think it’s a great combination if you want a manual transmission.
@@TheCarCareNut My 98 Corolla has a manual transmission still going well.
What do you think the lifespan of the CVT will be in comparison to the traditional auto 6-speed?
I've hear more horror stories from Nissan CVT. I hardly hear anything bad about Toyota's CVT other than people saying they hate the droning noise.
@@PhyuckYew Toyota's CVT are very reliable,just change the fluid with the proper Toyota FE CVT fluid. I did mine 6 months ago with 90,000,then last week with another drain & refill. I'm from the UK,so it comes in a 5L bottle for £42 and 1L £12,it uses 2.2L per drain,had some left over,but kept the bottle inside my house in the warmth,not in the garage/shed which could cause moisture inside. Only a quarter of the CVT fluid is in the CVT sump,2nd drain i did the fluid was a little more redder than the 1st drain. So worth doing twice in a year. Next drain i'll do will be in 3 or 4 years.
The CVTs in toyota land has been reliable overall. Many have well over 200k with no issues.
@@tardeliesmagic My coworker's one of those old prius, maybe 06 or 08. It's currently at over 260,000miles and has never has it cvt fluid changed but his car is still chugging along just fine. His commute to work totals out to 160miles a day. That's home and back. He said all he's done is oil change, and cleaning the air filter in the back by the rear doors.
@@PhyuckYew Has he had it from new?
I have a 2014 Corolla 180k miles no problem whatsoever...and l recently bought me a 2021 Corolla se l was a little concern because l notice that shifting from the first gear in my mind l was thinking that it could be a defect l was omg but after watching this video of you explaining of the first manual gear l was so relieved many thanks !!!
I bought a white 2022 Corolla se nightshade edition back in November 2021 and I really like it!
Just got one, praise God. When do you change the transmission oil out? Coming up on 40k.
Compared to all the hooptis I have driven (scetchy AF), this car feels like a Lexus. My knees are sore from hitting the humps but I forget that as soon as I drive this thing.
5 years, 60k miles, whatever is first, per the Car Care Nut., a Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician
