      my brother has a tesla model Y and in my opinion it is sweet in the sense that it is fast as far as take off but from what I can tell the build quality is very poor considering what he paid for the car and 2 weeks into having it he had to bring it in for warranty because they were still installing known bad sensors into the cars for the heat and cooling system even after they came out with a new sensor to fix the problem

    My first car when I was 17 was a 1994 Corolla. I can attest that thing was a tank. Growing up on the streets of Mobile,AL we put that thing through absolute hell. I ran it out of gas several times and it always started back up again and again eventually getting me to a station. I even coasted in a few times. Hopped curbs, got t boned, on road, off road, even lost it downtown for a few weeks. The damn thing wouldn’t die.

    I have the 2021 Corolla SE and I find it’s quite the car! The 2 tone interior, handling and acceleration are very good for the price. It could be quieter but it’s not too bad. It’s comfortable and roomy for 2 old folks and pretty great gas mileage. As for looks, they did a great job.It’s paid for and a keeper!

    My review on a 2021 corolla SE I bought new.
    Great vehicle, rides very well. My mpg goes from 38 mpg combined city and highway in winter to 44 combined city/highway in the summer. I also drive conservatively, so keep that in mind. The oil is easy to change (no paper filter, easy access to drain pan) but do NOT trust a 10000 mile oil change, I'd recommend 6500 to 8500 miles as after that the oil is jet black-I want my engine to last 500,000 miles. Trunk is deceptively roomy, I cam put a full sized bicycle in there and shut the door. No electric issues, and stupid car warnings can be shut off manually. It also has some getup and go, but I wouldn't call it a corvette. Would recommend. Sunroofs are stupid, that's the one thing I would take out if I could.

    I got the se nightshade edition hatchback, made in japan, idk if the sedans are. I like it but the low profile tires are more challenging to drive on the road especially now with all the construction going on, already dinged up a rim but having a black paint marker in glove compartment helps hide it.
    Also, scotty keeps talking about the fancier corolla but the apex is supposedly the fancy corolla. they discontinued apex for 2023.

    The 2017 and earlier Corolla SE was really rough. The 2018 SE/XSE and later is much better, because Toyota went from a torsion bar to a multilink on the rear axle. My 2020 averaged 40.0 MPG, often hitting 43 to 44 MPG on the highway. Drive safely and sanely, and you'll get way better than the rated 35 MPG. Avoid the Corolla versions with the 1.8 liter engine. It's underpowered, and revs a lot, just to make a little power. Think the Corolla is boring? Fine, buy an unreliable car, and you'll get excitement aplenty - when you're presented with repair bill after repair bill. And Scotty, I loved the sunroof. I loved having it open early in the morning and late in the evening. My Camry doesn't have a sunroof, and I really miss it. To each his own...

BUT there is one major flaw in my opinion with the moonstone (off-white) interior like the one you drove. The flat dash angle under both driver's and passengers side air vents along with the light color interior creates a very dangerous reflection in the side mirrors on a sunny day.

I'm sorry but only time will tell if they can still last as long as they used to because we don't know yet. We haven't got enough time under the belt of those dynamic force engines yet...
