new corolla, paddle shift, semi-automatic, 2007

[SuperR1991]

A toyota with paddle shifters?

[DaedalusZero]

Semi-Auto? LOL It's fully automatic with a "manual mode". Nice try, though.

[HalfKaztBoy]

@DaedalusZero I drive a manual car and personally I recon that semi automatics are the new manual car.

[coolfly005]

@DaedalusZero it has an MMT transmission, which is basically a manual gearbox with automated clutch controls... Imagine a manual gearbox with no clutch pedal.... It's quite laggy tho....

[DaedalusZero]

@coolfly005 - It's laggy because it's an automatic with "manual" controls and nothing more. There is no clutch. It's just a regular automatic with a torque converter. Lots of cars have the same damn thing. A semi-auto gearbox actually has two automated clutches for rapid gear selection and doesn't slosh from gear to gear like a faux-manual gearbox does. Just because something says manual on it doesn't mean it actually is.

[coolfly005]

@DaedalusZero it is the primitive version of VW's DSG, which is also a semi-auto but has two clutches instead of one. This is just a regular manual gearbox with automated clutch and gear selector, it does not have a torque converter - the US model has it - the europe model is not an automatic gearbox... thus the gear changes are shaky and laggy... you can feel that it cuts out the throttle, when changing gears...

Cars in U.S.A suck...Don't have such cool things

[laxin88]

@KatiushaVN4 really im sure you drive someting made over in china. good old american muscle wins all day

[KatiushaVN4]

@laxin88

Don't be such a gay! I used to drive Camry, then Saab, but now a Honda scooter. Nothing from China

[laxin88]

@KatiushaVN4 ok so why do you think american cars suck?

[KatiushaVN4]

@laxin88

I was talking about cars (Honda, Toyota, Kia), that exported to U.S market, suck. Ugly design, less features, etc.

As for American-made cars like Ford, etc..also ugly design, cheap interior materials, boring to drive

[laxin88]

@KatiushaVN4 boring to drive. you drive a scooter. obviously you have never been behind the wheel of a muscle car with a big block in it

[KatiushaVN4]

@laxin88

I told you that I used to own a Camry and a Saab 9-3...But I've sold them all

[sinfactory1]

@KatiushaVN4

for a scooter? i have to agree with laxin88! I never find 500hp boring. But look out everyone! 32 horses of raw power on it's way!

[KatiushaVN4]

@sinfactory1

No, I sold them because I was short on money

[312868540]

why are some of the options i see here not availabe on US of A models.

[rowsdower12]

Because the Corolla is positioned as a ECONOMY compact car. If Toyota put the options or features in the Corolla here the price would jump hence no one would buy when they can get a Camry for a similar or same price with the same features but bigger car and more powerful engine (depending on option). That's just part of it, but you get the drift.

[sintageng]

So sad for no more options and features in my country.How about you?I'm from Malaysia.I prefer the keyless start engine,no leather and oso GPS but it is not available here.

[rowsdower12]

We have nav on the new 09 model for the USDM. And some options you couldn't get before. But each new generation its increments of new features. Of course market plays into this as well as competition.

honda cıvıc :D

[crzymalu06]

does anyone kno the name of the song in the background? its cool..lol

[Dyml0s]

its called "let the music play" by shamur if i am correct, but i am pretty sure thats it.

[avensis77]

Funny. In Holland we have the auris which dashboard looks the same as the one in this corolla.

The corolla is not made anymore here. I have the last one :)

[DudesonWoosa]

yeah the auris is very much the same car. hatchback is nice! :)

they are just calling it corolla here because the name is so popular in Canada and the USA.

[avensis77]

I think they've lost it here in holland.

4 doors saloon is a corolla, hatchback is an auris...

I still wonder how the paddle-shift drives...

[deraj2581]

THIS IS NOT A FUCKIN COROLLA!

[brc06]

but it says fuckin corolla on the back dudeee!

[fearthedreadlox]

dammn what's that music on the bagrooounddd.

[powericed]

I own a 2007 toyota corolla CE and my interior does not look like that.

[carlosbon]

That´s obvious. American, japanesse and european corollas are very diferent, each

The new Corolla will be soon in US

[crzymalu06]

The reason your corolla CE doesn't look like this corolla's interior shown in the vid is cuz this is a 2008 corolla soon to come to the u.s buddy...

[mrPhil0]

Hey BR06, can you do a video showing the performance of the paddle shift gear box? Stay well.

[indoguju]

1.6 124hp thats weak...my rolla is 1.8 145 hp

[yalanci99]

its not Toyota Auris

its new model of toyota Corolla (Remodelled) 1.6 VVT-I 124 HP

In Turkey Auris will be released in the end of the march as I know

[toyotacelicagts1991]

ya i got a question. Is that the new body REMODELED CORROLA? That interior looks very different from current one. Where do u live and can u tell me the specs of the car (engine). Thanks

[avensis77]

I think that's a Toyota Auris

[brc06]
