If you take care of your Corolla, then it will last you forever. Once you get it paid off you can spend the next few decades saving up a ton of money without that monthly car payment being deducted from your paydays.
Exactly! I have a 2008 Corolla with 270,000 miles it runs great but it’s been paid off for a very long time this week I went and bought a 2022 Toyota corolla ES6 speed manual👍
It may not be the cheapest and certainly not the fastest but it will last longer then all these turbocharged and full time direct injected cars. People complain about the 4Runner being slow but it’s fair to say it will last much longer than an eco boost car or that it will breakdown a lot less. Props to the big T for not selling hype machines. You don’t really have to if your on top.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this Corolla!
Toyota prioritizes reliability and durability above virtually everything else about their vehicles. Their reputation on those factors is all important in terms of sales. But it does come at a price in terms of innovative design and engineering. And while Toyota typically ranks above other brands in terms of those factors, the actual risk of problems among various brands is both far less than even a decade ago and among the most reliable brands close to equal for purchasers who keep a car for, say, seven years or so. If I were buying a compact pickup I expected to abuse and neglect, Toyota would be my first choice. What's good enough for ISIS terrorists is good enough for me. But in my case, I take good care of my vehicles and haven't experienced a single breakdown in any vehicle I've owned for the last 20 years.
Those turbocharged engines are not as reliable which is why Toyota doesn't make then in the Corolla and other models. Honda had problems with it the CRV. Toyota is focused on reliability and quality. Toyota has the most reliable CVT
@@davinp They are probably working on making a reliable turbo car right now . Japanese don't put shit in cars unless they work
@@Gullett38 Toyota focuses on making reliable cars - so they don't put unreliable tech on their cars.
I just bought this car it's the best driving car I ever bought and I have had a lot of cars Toyota really put some time in designing this car I love this car
Congrats! I am so glad that you like this one.
I'm thinking about buying a used one and wondered after a couple years if you are as happy with it as you were when you wrote this? Horrible time to have to buy a car, but sadly, I have no choice.
I think this is the first video that Joe didn’t have to put an emoji on the speedometer while driving. Love how Joe can review a $300K Lamborghini and a $26K Corolla and still give both cars a proper and thorough review. I also really appreciate how Joe emphasized his height and gets in the back seat and shows how much room he has as well as the comfort level. Not many reviewers actually do this consistently but Joe does this on every video. The irritating thing about Doug DeMuro is that he’ll get back in the 3rd row of an SUV and contort himself to talk to the camera and never mention how usable or unusable that space actually is. Joe keeps it real and entertaining as well.
Yes! Now that's a compact car worth buying over the other choices in the same class.
Love the way you explain in detail every car you report on!
At the end of day, no matter what reviewers say. This car will sell around the world. I’ve already seen many of these new models on the road and they look very nice in person. The Corolla is a car that will get you around for many years without problems. I’ve owned 3 Corollas, recently upgraded to a 2018’ SE model and never had a problem.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Raiti’s rides is my go to car review guy, I’m not even in the market for a car and watching this guys videos bring me joy
Thanks Austin! That really means a lot!
@@RaitisRides i agree with Austin there. Once my father goes for a brand new vehicle I will refer to your videos. I just wish you could do the reviews for lower trims as well for the average buyer too and that will.increase his subscriber fan base by ten fold. Otherwise I really enjoy these guys reviews.
Just bought a 2020 Corolla XSE. It's got balls for a CVT. The launch gear is a smart move by Toyota. Very well equipped and has great handling for a compact car and not too expensive either.
I appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thanks for watching!
I just got one of these and I absolutely love it. The tablet on top was a little bit of a turn off but now that I have it it's so much more convenient then in the dash, you don't have to take your eyes off the road to use it, there's not as much sunglare on it in that position, and it's just more convenient and easier to use.
I'm glad you realized now..I always tell people to try first before judging
I got my Toyota Corolla hybrid the last week and love it, I hope to take good care of this car because I want it to last at least 20 years
Congrats!!! I’m also looking Into that car as well!!
I bought one for my granddaughter as a graduation gift She loves it with lots of hugs & kisses for me hehe Another great review
You are a good man!
@@RaitisRides Thanks
You are so very welcome!
Bong Lim i wish i was ur grandson i want a car, all i got for my graduation this year was a hug and stuffed animal
@@TheV3la Focus & work hard I'm sure you'll have your own car in no time God bless...
The last Corolla I had was a '94 1.8 and it quit on me at 500 thousand miles. I love Toyota and I'm looking forward to one day getting a new one. I hope the lumbar support is better, and I wish you would have opened up the sunroof . I hope the trunk has some illuminations for the night. Great review overall.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
I just picked up my 2020 xse and I love the car. Fun to drive. But i still use my 2000 Camry LE that just hit 300k and still running strong 💪
Thanks for that great input!
David CS I have a 2003 Matrix with nearly 400,000 miles still great
My 99 corolla has 417k miles. Original everything except starter, alternator, and radiator. Burns oil crazy though.
I got my 2020 SE last year with 3 miles on it, just hit about 12,500 miles . Nice little compact car that’s great on gas and have plenty of space. If you looking for an daily worker back and forth to work or love to travel this the car to buy. Even tho it’s a 2.0 4 cylinder, once you hit sport button and the pedal shifters it’d get you down the road 💪🏾
Joe just a small tip to improve video quality (with the camera work). When you mention “the lip spoiler that sticks out a bit” have Tom go with the camera and show us how much it sticks out.
Also, when showing the interior, bring the camera closer to the main dash. When on the touch screen, have the camera right up against it so we can see better.
Other than that, great content as always!
I hate how some car manufacturers don’t add rear ac or a usb connectivity in their top trim levels.
They do it’s jus an American thing
Cars in Canada for one has everything in their cars
So very true!
@@traviswade1489 That is so weird how that happens!
@S. D. H. Very good point but many people will have kids back there and when their electronic device dies that is when the torture begins! ;-)
@S. D. H. I'm 6ft tall and my 17 has enough room.
My wifes 06 is about to spin 300,000 and still going strong! In all that time only thing changed other than brakes and tires is the water pump and front wheel bearing. Water pump and air bags were done under recall.
That is so awesome Scott! Thank you for letting me share it with you!
I like the way you described the front of the car, and agree with you, how they used the fake grills,there was no need for that,just smooth it off blend it with the bumper make it look clean,and as for the side extended front bumper corner spats they could have continues it to the next side,it would have look much nicer.
Well this is an everyday driver for the general public, these are reviews we care about and look for most rather than those exotic, hypothetical, top of the line, luxury cars covered by other reviewers, no i never mentioned any of em names. keep them coming.
And i cant stop drooling over the big tundras in the background lol
Thank you so much for taking the time to say that! I really like to bring the variety and the cars many people can obtain.
@@RaitisRides i have a suggestion, if i may, you give these reviews of new cars. Why not make some sort of owner review like someone whose driven his car for some time give their opinions on the car in terms of mpgs, repairability, running and maintenance costs etc...something of that sort maybe, if possible. Just a humble suggestion.
I've been a honda fanboy for past 20 years and I have to say I took a toyota for a test run before going to honda and glad i did. Not that honda's bad, but toyota is next level in quality,
JohnConnor333 why? the civic is way more sporty and more fun to drive
@@ibrahimhasanovic1708 I ALWAYS felt the same way man. My 2004 civic has been so good to me and has 240,000 miles. Toyota was on the backburner when I went car shopping last weekend but it felt like such an upgrade compared to the 2019 civics. I didn't expect that...but that's my 2 cents.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Good question!
Thanks for sharing that!
This car has made an about face, BIG TIME! These cars REALLY stand out on the road, tip of the cap to Toyota for getting back in the game with a non appliance looking car!!
I totally agree with you!
@@RaitisRides it's ugly and slow
@@angelarazzano679 That's subjective. I find the 2020 Corolla to be more attractive than it's competition, especially in the L trims.
@@braetonwilson4296 and its amazing what L models offer in terms of features compared to most base model competitors can offer. I got an LE and im loving it even more everyday
it still drives like one
Thank you for such a thorough experience! I learned a lot and this has helped me VERY much!
Bought mine last month as a graduation gift to myself and I love it! Only gripe is the BSM on my right side doesn’t display when there’s clearly a car next to me and in my blind spot all the time. I know we’re not supposed to rely on it all the time - I still check my blind spots the conventional way but it bugs me when something that’s supposed to work isn’t working.
I appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank you for watching!
I too have a 2020 with the BSM. I have noticed no issues in displaying when a car is next to you. If you haven’t done so, I would def recommend taking that to the dealer.
Toyota are the best vehicles ever made I know a guy got one and it has 300000 miles on it and never had not worked done to it but put a battery in. I just bought a new one and loves it
I just bought this car in Barcelona red this past Saturday love every bit of it so far upgraded from a ‘18 Corolla L
My very first used sedan!! Nice video Joe.
hello joe, i hope u see my comment!! would love to see your feedback. i really loved your video of the 2020 corolla. yah i was a bit late to the drawer just seeing it now, but it doesn't take away from your efforts and how i feel about the video. personally i grabbed a 2015 S top-of-the-line white corolla back in jan '19. while i am extremely happy with what i got, you def make a real hard play to convince me to make that move to upgrade.
being a canadian, i just love your accent and your american confidence and salesmanship, your attention to detail and your ability to make me or anyone who was heart attack serious about grabbing a corolla, feel that this was the best 28k USD i or anyone else could ever spend on a car.👍
again, thanks joe and am looking 4ward to your other videos! subscribed
cheers to you joe from southern ontario CANADA to florida USA ❤
Hi Steven! I am so glad that you were able to find the right car for you. Thank you so much for your kind words and letting me share my car passion with you! I am so glad that you are part of the Raiti's Rides family!
@@RaitisRides thanks for replying joe. actually i work at the ford assembly complex in oakville, ontario. it's about 30 minutes from toronto. i work in the yard moving shiny new cars (edges and the nautilus) and putting them on the trains. so your videos are kind of an extension of my job. am looking forward to watching more of your videos on my breaks and lunches ! 😁
Just what I was looking at today damn Ratii is a mind reader lol thanks nice review.
Thanks Joh! I am glad I was able to get this together for you!
It looks like my scion tc 2014. Similar front and the lights look really good with that updated batman like look
Props to the best selling car in the world!!! Seeing these everywhere now!!!!
So very true!
Raiti's Rides please do a review of the New RAV4!!! Especially the hybrid XSE or LIMITED!!!!
“... recant the zonk...” lol. Fun review! Thanks, Joe!
Thanks for letting me share this one with you! I try to get in a few laughs!
Raiti's Rides 👍
2:44 the blue hatchback corolla looks gorgeous over there
Hey Joe! Are the 18” wheels on the Corolla SE/XSE something I need to be worried about? I know the suspension is good, but our roads have plenty of potholes. Thanks!
I testdrove the XSE manual transmission. Clutch is soft and linear which I like. Only thing I did not like is the steering response. It felt like there is a 0.5 second delay.
Still remember when compact cars were only the most basic cars you can buy.
Now they come with alot of features midsize cars have
Compact describes the size, not the trim level.
Ughhh....I'm sad because I live in The Netherlands, Europe (neighborcountry of Germany) and a Corolla is seen as a upper-mid-class, large family car....well, this car also costs close to 50k USD in The Netherlands too...so yeah :/ Also, we get at best the same salary as Americans do, but Dutch people have to pay a lot more tax than Americans do, so the net cash people from The Netherlands have is lower than Americans do, yet cars cost easily 2 or 3x more :(
@@Henry_Jr_Watsson I'm sorry to hear that man
Haha!!! I laughed when Raiti listening to the phone from Toyota about zonk USB but actually had
I am honest when I miss something.
I could honestly say I love my Toyota Corolla 2020 😍 and thanks to your review it was so much easier to go for it 💯🙏🏼 Thank you
I am so glad to hear that Bianca! Congrats and I appreciate you watching!
I am thinking about it too in the later future. The new Corolla designs are really nice.
The Corolla and Toyota’s in general are great cars. I like the looks of the Honda Civic a little better though. Another great review Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I totally agree with you Larry!
If they would just offer the Si with a DSG transmission. . .
There both good cars
Corolla has consistently impressed me over the years with their fuel economy. If you're looking for that A-B commuter and looking for good MPGs, corolla is a great answer.
I agree
Joe, how come the many of these vehicles do not have "protective" side molding on both sides as I have on my 2008 Sentra. This molding is wonderful as so many folks just open their doors in a parking lot not caring if they hit the vehicle next to them.
New sub,thank you for reviewing this vehicle
Thanks for letting me share it with you and for joining the Raiti's Rides family!
Sweeet! Awesome review...THANK YOU!!!
Thanks John I really appreciate you saying that!
This Toyota Corolla Sedan has a very futuristic, aggressive, yet conservative design, I really like this car and I am really thinking on buying it early next year. 😀
Thanks for you input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
A gracious move from Joe by de-zonking (or would it be un-zonking🤔?) the Corollas front USB location. I really like this white XSE sedan even with the black/blue interior. I own a 2016 Honda Civic Touring sedan but the Corolla XSE at least, is a very worthy competitor.
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
How is the 2016 civic so far?
@@alvinsimba734
No issues whatsoever and it's still a fun daily driver.
Joe, Toyota could have had a better design of the rear lights. For $26K there should be rear air as well as USB connection. Right now Mazda 3 is leading the pack for me although I do love the reliability of Toyota
Autonation Toyota Pinellas Park, FL is great!
Is it just me or is the trend of car companies putting cheap looking “tablet” control systems annoying. Sure it looks good in a top of the line luxury vehicle where the screens are decent resolution and the bezels are relatively thin, but the ones that look like whats in this car are just ugly imo
You have hit the nail on the head!
You consider this screen cheap??????
@@gamermonster5 Don't mind it..some people complain about everything.
This guy would make one hell of a car salesman
The 2020 Toyota Carolla Sport Edition vs. The 1996 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport. Should I invest my money into a 2020 Toyota Carolla Sport S.E. or should I buy the 1996 Chevy Impala Super Sport(that is my biggest question)?
Just bought a 2020 XSE for 26k ...my wife loves it
TRD package for hatchback, please. I like it, but I want another 20+ NA horsepower, a Scion-type audio package with something like a Pioneer head unit, stiffer suspension, louder muffler, and more aggressive seat bolsters. Really don't care about onboard distraction system (touchscreen infotainment) or [heavy] electric seats.
Was the driver seat all the way back in the track when you got in the back seat ? I think that lets us determine how leg room you really have back there . I would like to see more of that
Thanks for the feedback Desmond.
I like it Joe but compared to my Civic Sport it just looks a little smaller and cramped. Thanks so much for the great car comparison 😀 Say, you failed to give us the "twinkie" storage 😀
Man your hilarious! Love it! Love your style! Got my sub 👌
Thanks Erick! I appreciate you saying that and thank you for joining the Raiti's Rides family!
A great salesman , he didn’t get to mention the dash sticking into the passenger chest and the display facing down the centre of the car , the driver has to move to the right to see it , it sticks up like a portable tv on the dash
Its a smooth ride from the one I drove was a 2019 but still nice
Thanks for sharing that great input from your experience!
Yes! I also like the wheels.
They do look just right!
Awesome review..looks nice in white
Thanks for the compliment and for letting me share this one with you!
2017 was the 50th anniversary of the Corolla
"A little bit more aggressive... a little bit more sinister" (1:25). Do you think designs with these characteristics are more likely to attract risk-takers or sociopaths?
That is not where I am going with that! A car can look sinister without the owner being a sociopath.
Just bought a x s e in white a small luxury car love it still trying to figure out how everything in the cars works it has plenty of zip
Thanks for doing this review I am 18 and about to get my drivers license and this car picked my interest
You are so very welcome!
Daniel Kershner lol do you have 30k my guy?
Jovaughn Gueno LOL 😂
At least the Corolla now comes with Independent Rear Suspension and got rid of the Torsion Beam setup!.....Shame on Mazda for adding the Torsion Beam setup!!!!!
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Big guns miggie living it up
You ca say that again TRE!
That Toyota “call” was hilarious 😂
Thanks Alex! I appreciate you watching and letting me share some laughs with you!
for anyone that owns this car, what product do you recommend to clean the dash? i used the carfidant interior cleaner spray and it only left white streaks on my dash. any suggestions? please help
I like this car, very nice. I am going to test drive one.
My corolla hybrid can get 64 MPG or 3.7l per100km in summer and 53 MPG or 4.5 l per 100km in winter.
Why is the design of this corolla 2020 different to the pictures from Google? Can someone please tell me if this is a US only model? Thanks!
You never gave us a Camry 4 cyl drive review! I'm shocked to hear you say this drives better than the Camry.
I finally made it into a Toyota dealership! With the new suspension and it really feel planted.
Hello, I so happened to come across your channel because I was looking up some cars that I might be interested in and my friend recommended looking at corollas and I have to say it looks amazing. My question is, do you think this is a good enough car for a first time driver and car owner?
Lol I'm sure you bought a car already but yes. I have the 2020 xse hatch. Super nice. If you can't drive stick you can get the CVT
jdinn32 I don’t actually because I have yet to obtain my driver license, let alone an ID😂 but thank you
@@andiab.6671 Anytime
Great car I’m a first time owner I love this car I had just bought and Le 2021 I returned it and got the SE with premium package omg I’m in love car drives a lot better and been a first time driver has a lot of safety features to feel safe on the road I’m someone that was afraid of driving
Mr. joe I have a question about this 2020 XSE. Corolla does it have wireless charging and does it have jbl speakers same one you reviewed. Thanks 🙏
Yes it has it!
great review
I don’t know which car is better? A 2020 Toyota Camry XSE V6 or A 2020 Toyota Corolla XSE?
Lane assist gets annoying. I turn it off. But I love my 2017 model.
Hey joe is there a way to turn off all the safety sence stuff?
Thanks for the honestly it is a great corolla
It's a nice car, don't get me wrong, but the Civic Sport has a better radio interface system. And you can control the heat/ac in in the radio
I totally agree with you Brian!
I am debating, I have a 2012 honda civic love the car, but I want to get a new car would you recommend the new Corolla or should I get the civic I feel like the civic is more engaging to drive however I feel like the Corolla without the turbo will be more reliable. What should I get? I just want some thoughts for a long term car.
Grach2020 I got some answers for you. 2020 honda civic lx is ok but compared to.lower trim of the corolla meaning the L, LE. For both of those trims the L and LE they come with blindspot monitoring in which the 2020 honda lx doesn't come with and on top.of that in hondacivic lx model the eco mode for best fuel mileage works fine but it turns A/C off as well which is a no no. This honda civic lx that I'm describing here is the 2.0 litre non turbo engine, whereas with toyota corolla LE especially the eco mode is on default and does not compromise the functionality of A/C in which the honda does. No lumbar seat in civic either and also avoid the 1.5 litre turbo for oil dilution. For lower trims with corolla it comes with 1.8 litre with cvt of course and most features get in LE can go head to head with honda civic ex model with the exception of honda civic ex getting the sunroof which for me personally i don't care much about. Corolla does not come with turbo either which is a win in itself.
Great info!
Thanks man!
I’ve never heard someone talk in-depth about a car’s design. I love this car, though. Drove it as a rental for a few days. It’s so quiet and modern. Ended up buying a new Hyundai Accent because of the price, but I’d get something like this if I could.
How is the hyundai accent?
@@alvinsimba734 It’s lovely. It’s a basic car, absolutely nothing fancy about it, but it looks modern and takes me from point A to B. Quiet and smooth driving, great out-of-box sound system, clean interior. I bought last year’s model for around 12000$ used.

How could I buy it? For me, it is as a sky to try touch; maybe a mere wish only!!
My mom has this car it's very nice and I can't believe that an this Corolla has launch controll
Thanks for sharing that input!
I'd have to go SE with the 6speed. I'd miss the leather tho.
Good call Peter!
It would look nice if the back lights were all red like the previous se instead of the top red and bottom white(clear)
That is a very good point!
They need to bring back the XRS and make it compete with the Civic Si.
Fingers crossed they do!
And what about a Civic Type-R slayer? 😏😏
Talk about wishful thinking!
That would be awesome 👍🏻
I also like the lower sill.
Great minds think a like!
This car si similar to the Kia Forte. Do you know why?
I like the redesigned Corolla. More so the hatchback that they renamed after the Scion exit. I "ZONK" the fake exhaust on the Corolla.
I don't know why they do that!
@@RaitisRides they should of did dual exhaust for the corolla. One pipe on each side! at least for the xse corolla sedan.
Does Canadian xse trim have rear ac or a usb connectivity or even rear seats heated?
Nope
I love the new Corolla XSE it’s the best looking trim but for the price get a Civic Touring with more interior room, more power.
Thanks for letting me share this new Corolla with you!
The Civic is so bloated that it's practically in another size class.
I bought it and I love it cuz I bought the sport edition and it looks so spot 👌
Same

Why does it look like the predator in the front though it still looks nice
Corolla is a good car for daily use
So as Lexus
CZcams news well yes lol
Does the 2020 have back up sensors on the carollla.
