    All COROLLAS looks beautiful to me. I choose the 2021 Celestite color LE and the car has been working incredibly well during the 15 months I've owned with all the features included. The only thing I miss from my old Hyundai Elantra 2002, is the vision at front. Why? Because, when driving, always that I must see to the left front side and make a turn, I think that the windshield is too narrow and interfere with your vision field, so don't allow watch at the front at quick maneuvers. I haven't finished knowing my COROLLA, but I will very soon because worth it. Thank you for the video is very helpful.

    I have a Dec 2019 Corolla
    With a Laser cut key
    No key fob /unlock/ lock
    No start stop technology. Just a plain key ignition switch. Harder to steal like that six speed😂
    Manual seat adjustments.
    No electric seats/ heaters.
    Wished it had a manual
    parking brake, instead of
    Electric Parking Brake.
    I'm the old school type😂
    I love it. Great MPG.
    Decent acceleration.
    Bought it from a Jeep Dodge Dealership.
    Had 8976 miles for $16,000
    I put an extra "Portfolio" bumper to bumper 6yr. 72 k
    Warrantee for $2100 which is transferrable. Covers everything but pads tune ups oil changes, muffler. No worries about expensive
    repairs. It seems to be a special fleet order.(Or Maybe L Trim) Possibly
    car rental. So it was broke in with a few Italian tune ups😂😂
    Update it's an LE apparently a repo. That had the remote lost, $340 to replace and program a new remote FOB.
    at Toyota.
    ACE Hardware will also do this cheaper but the lost remote is $168 to replace.
    It also has Economy and Normal Mode settings on the steering wheel. It has
    awesome acceleration in
    Normal mode.👍

    I would buy the LE. I mean $450 price difference is about 2 extra car payments. If there's one thing I learned over the past 10-20 years in buying cars, if you're buying one, buy it how you want it. Unless you're really strapped for cash, buy it how you want it (ie. get cruise control, power windows, keyless entry, etc).
    I do have to say that for a $450 price difference, Toyota should just drop the L and keep the LE model as the "base" model. I mean to remove the digital temperature read-out and not give it remote keyless entry (both of which are easy and cheap things to include that might cost Toyota another $100 combined) makes no sense to me. It's like they designed the LE and then gimped it to make the L, so they could charge slightly less. In this case, just get the LE.

    • @ritardstrength5169

      In researching the Corolla to possibly buy a 2021 model, I learned that there are two types of white paint available: Super White and “Fleet White”. Retail customers can’t request Fleet White, but presumably bulk purchasers can. I figure the L is made for those fleets: delivery workers, home health, beer and wine reps, etc. In fact, I bet it only comes with a touchscreen stereo because the screen is a requirement for the backup camera.

    Weird. My 2020 Corolla LE doesn't have a key like that at all. In fact my car doesn't have a key slot. Just the wireless key fob that must be inside yummy car in order to start it.
    I'm in Canada.

      It's coz you got the convenience package which comes with push to start button lol. I'm from canada too and the one with the key the LE model is the standard for that trim in canada without additions and the only thing missing from the LE on the video is that Americans do not get heated seats at the front or heated mirrors upfront as an option part of the convenience package whereas we Canadians get heated seats with mirrors as standard for the LE trim.
