  • Terrible car. Its what my driving instructor's car was, and what I learned in, but its an utter crap car. It does what the average driver needs, but goddamn the steering and pedals are just so vague and numb. The entire interior is plastic, and you get heavily outdated drum brakes, but you can't expect much from a $15-16k new car. Hell, the stopping distance from 60-0 is on par with minivans! No person who actually likes cars will want or like a Corolla, not even as a daily driver.

  • the 2006-present Toyota Corolla is assembled in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada Toyota City, Aichi, Japan Durban, South Africa Adapazarı, Turkey Tianjin, China Taipei, Taiwan Bidadi, India Shah Alam, Malaysia Karachi, Pakistan Santa Rosa, Laguna, Philippines Chachoengsao, Thailand Vĩnh Phúc, Vietnam Indaiatuba, Brazil Cumana, Venezuela Fremont, California, USA Susono, Shizuoka, Japan Higashi Fuji, Japan Zárate, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
  • Which trim is this Corolla? Is it the LX?

    

  • more taxi in Thailand

  • That wood trim is far from fake for ur info

  • is their no honda city in the US?

  • 20

  • i raced a new corolla with my 1994 f150 and it smoked me by alot .had to be the v6.and the thing that pissed me off that it was a hot girl driveing it.

  • i raced a corolla with my 1994 f150 and he smoked me by alot .

  • why this corlla is not in europe

  • @miladsafi12 be glad.... it sucks!

  • ahahahahha comparing Corolla with A8 kkkakakakakaka ahahahahaahhahaahahhaha

  • I actually like Honda Civic more compared to Toyota Corolla. Civic is a bit expensive, but interior quality IMO is way better than Corolla. Also like Kelsey Mays pointed out, radio and AC control is a bit complicated.

    I think Corolla needs a major redesign, otherwise it'll become the ugliest car I have seen.

  • haha i like when he said sippy cups juicy juices are frist things to go well said...

  • is it ironic that the reviewer is asian?

    lol

  • @fmlygyfntc

    I'm pretty sure Kelsey Mays is white.

  • drive one, love it, smooth and quiet... top notch quality

  • نعم نعم

  • Auxilary. U can plug ur iPod in there

  • waht does that 'AUX' ,mean

  • @jin7210 Auxillary!

  • google toyota deaths

  • TORRANCE, Calif., August 26, 2010 -- Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today announced that it will conduct a voluntary safety recall involving approximately 1.13 million 2005-2008 Model Year Toyota Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles sold in the United States to address some Engine Control Modules (ECM) that vehicles equipped with the 1ZZ-FE engine and two-wheel drive, there is a possibility that a crack may develop at certain solder points

  • the most boring cars ever made. when you buy a new and when you're driving home in a new Toyota, you ask yourself "why did i made this choice".

    

  • is this car 1.6 or 1.8

  • The Corolla is the best selling car because people today have no taste in cars whatsoever. Also it seems like driving a stick shift is way outside anyones driving ability today. When do you see a corolla with a stick? Never.

  • This video proves that nobody has a taste in cars anymore. Sad.

    This car has to be one of the ugliest cars ever made.

    I don't understand why people are so worried about mpg but yet are still too stupid to learn to drive a stick. Manuals are overall less complex than autos and weight less. Also they say, if you shift properly you can save an extra 5 miles per gallon. That adds up fast. Probably 80% of cars today are automatic, pathetic.

  • @MrFuroius1972 Is it really because people are too stupid? Why hate on automatics? All they do is make it easier to drive. Oh you're so manly because you can drive a stick. -Well, when you say nobody, you mean nobody, seeing that this is one of the most sold cars in the world.

  • @TylerWallake Yeah I perfer only sticks. They give more control over the car, increase miles per gallon, and just more fun. I just don't understand why people are so worried about mpg but don't bother with a stick shift. You get the best of all worlds. I just think automatics are soooo boring. Well I hate Toyotas also but that is just me.

  • @MrFuroius1972 Well, I guess it's all what you prefer. I guess sticks keep you busy. I never understood why people hate on Toyota so much though. The whole sticky pedal thing is a load of bull. Honda and Toyota are the leaders in the automotive industry as of today. I guess a lot of people don't like the idea of foreign cars.

  • @TylerWallake It's not the idea of foreign cars, its the idea of boring cars. Toyotas sell well because a lot of people just want A to B reliable transportation. If you want a fun Japanese car you buy Nissan or Subaru.

  • @MogulMichael Oh, well if fun is what you're looking for than yeah lol. This car is not for you. This car is just reliable, affordable, dependable, low maintenance. Just an easy car.

  • @TylerWallake Toyota has figured out that theres a huge market for reliable affordable low maintenance cars and they are good at it. I'm not 50 yet though haha maybe someday.

  • @MrFuroius1972 I actuall y think the corolla looks pretty good inside and out for what it is, a cheap car, still I would prefer a Cobalt for more power and a nicer interior, and people choose autos because they get tired of shifting gears non stop, you dont think that gets old? Especially in traffic which a lot of people have to deal with.

  • @whtswrngwthupeople I don't know if you saw any of my previous comments but you get the best of all worlds with a stick. Better MPG, more control of the car, more performance, and simply more fun in my opinion. Yeah it can be a pain in heavy traffic but I don't get that too often where I live. I am actually annoyed about how many automatics are on the road today especially when everyone is so worried about mpg. People are too dumb to learn I think, not because they "are tired of it".

  • @whtswrngwthupeople i blew a cobalt off the road in a stock 09 corolla le. They are faster than most people think.

  • I get that some people just need basic transportation, but this is one of the most boring cars that I have ever seen. The interior looks really cheap as well.

  • @MogulMichael Thank you! I finally see that I am not alone.

  • This guy finds the most unimportant features to talk about every time. What about things like MPG? HP?

  • driving a toyota is more dangerous than smoking. toyota sucks major. oh and the only reason there arent old colbalts is because they've only been out a couple years. have fun being called gay in your piece of shit(:

  • Comment removed

  • @SubwayAddictor thats awesome you can have a piece of shit that'll last a lifetime so you and your faggot kids can drive around in their toyotas so everyone will know your gay(:

  • @SubwayAddictor What the fuck are you talking about. American trucks wipe their ass with peaces of shit Toyota. They did test on their almighty Toyota tundra. Not only did it come in last place on everything they test it on. It fell apart. It hit a few bump's and bent and twisted the frame right in half. The wheel's almost fell off and the truck was done. Nissan even kicked Toyota's ass. The professionals proved that Toyota is the worst vehicle to buy. Toyota saying: The One You Ought To Avoid.

  • @4T5Scott Calm down. It's just My opinion. And I said CARS, NOT TRUCKS. It's true. American does beat Japanese in trucks, especially GMC. Toyota does need work on that. My parents did own a Mercury Tracer and Ford Escort. They worked fine, but they had a few problems from time to time. They now own 2 Toyota's, and it works fine. So chill, you might look at it another way. We all do.

  • @SubwayAddictor Oh I'm not bothered by what you said. I respect what you say. Your right and I'm not really down falling your comment. Everyone has their right to their own opinion and how they look at things. I also know about American cars too. I will admit I have bought some American cars that really sucked lol and were worthless. Then I got a Mazda Protege that was before ford bought them out and that car was awesome. That car was the best ever.

  • @4T5Scott Yeah.You might be right. My father's friend had a Honda with a transmission problem. And I like Mazda's alot, especially the RX-8, my favorite. Lol.

    I'm glad we can agree peacefully with this. XD

  • @SubwayAddictor lol yep and I also am glad too =) Another thing is awesome. I'm glad to see we have at least some similarities :)

  • this guy fucking sucks

  • that clock is sure annoying.......... :D

  • I absoulutley cannot stand Kelsey Mays you are the worst car reviewer ever..

  • @lonza64 Thank. You. I could not have put it better. He FINDS things to complain about, which half the time are completely objectionable. Not a fan.

  • The Corolla came out in 2009, and it already looks like a boring outdated design. Come on Toyota, I like your products, but STEP IT UP!!!

  • Here are the vehicles with the fewest problems, in order of ranking, according to the J.D. Power and Associates Vehicle Dependability Study. All vehicles are 2007 models. 1. ...Cadillac DTS 2. ...Mercury Montego 3. ...Buick LaCrosse 4. ...Lexus LS 460 5. ...Buick Lucerne 6. ...Ford Five Hundred 7. ...Mercury Milan 8. ...Lincoln MKZ 9. ...Lexus GX 470 10. ...Audi A6 11. ...Honda Accord 12. ...Toyota Prius Consumer Reports is bullshit
  • F*UCK THESE CARS B*TCHES!!!!!!!!!!!

  • These cars are garbage! I will never buy imports.

  • @MrFuroius1972 - Because they outlast American!!

    Now go cry about it. :)

  • @sammyvick123 DUDE ANY GUY WHO DRIVES A COROLLA IS A FAG!!!! They are ASS UGLY and are FOR GIRLS. YOU HAVE NO TASTE IN CARS IF YOU LIKE THESE PIECES OF SHIT! You are lucky you will never see me in person. It is people like you I wish to permantly erase from this planet. SO FUCK YOU!

  • @MrFuroius1972  What do you drive? an Aveo!!! and about to loose it because you can't afford it!!!

  • @sammyvick123 Actually a Shelby GT

  • @MrFuroius1972 You sure stand by your username, so furious. Something a kid would put on his license plate as well.

  • @zayeba LOL you comment on my 2 month old comments. what else do you do besides sit in front of the computer?

  • **

    My Corolla is way way better looking from outside and also inside

  • Kool review.

    Short  and informative .

  • Those recalls don't make a flinch. I would buy one anytime.

  • my family and i take such GREAT care of our cars. i never had a problem with my 2004 toyota corolla, until it got totaled by a woman who wanted to go to dunkin donuts... :(

  • sorry but i ownd a newwest corolla and da rear seats r not comfy ( makes yer shoulder bent ),so,its a great driver car but not a great familycar

  • I just got one of these as my first car! I love it, and the recall has been taken care of already! Dont let the recall scare you! i LOVE this car!!

  • I'd still buy this car despite the recalls =)

  • I own one and it serves it's purpose. The corolla is a value compact car so don't expect a luxuries car out of it. I did like it better then the 2006 Model that I previously own due to restyling and better ride quality. I do wish Toyota would leave the out side temp gauge and the clock as it was because now you can see both at once.

  • He's asian. Or at least half asian which is enough to tongue Jap balls.

    Tough to speak against the colony.

  • RYwiccan

    it`s because the car itself is cheap dumb fuck

  • Yes it is. btw my friend lost her 2009corolla. The brakes on it did'nt work, and she ended up going into a ditch, and when they went to pull it out, it would'nt start. They took it up to the dealership and found out the engine locked up on it. Toyota Quality is crap! Kelly blue book realized that, and now all toyota have lost 10% of their resale value, because of the recall. This recall goes to show how shitty Toyota quality is!

  • wow, ugly dashboard, looks soo big...holy shit

  • eww. this corolla is hideous. it looks very dated and cheap

  • Comment removed

  • Guys wait for 2011 Ford Focus,It will show Americans the real quality of Ford,it will be produced Europe centrally and i feel it will change the idea of Ford in American People s minds.

  • Trust me. 2009 Honda Civic is much better than Corolla.

  • nice!

  • "Here displayed in 90's exterior and interior colour scheme" :P

  • lol

  • um you must be like really a civic fan period and I respect that, but if you haven't driven a corolla, when you do it you'll learn that corollas are more maneuverable. When you implement the wide flat wheels (for racing) it becomes evem more maneuverable like a Mercedez Benz. The civic is none the less a wanna be racing car, which is undoubtedly hilarious with all of that racing cover and when you check the hood there's only a small ass engine...lol like it's going to burn some wheels..lol

  • wat fag hes drivin automatic hahaha bender go through shit at urself

  • the corolla is a v nice car try it and u will see

  • @shaddymansour YOU SIR HAVE NO TASTE!!

  • I move car for Hertz so I get to drive all models and makes and I'm here to tell you that the Focus is superior to the Civic and Corolla. The Focus is more comfortable, the dash is better designed, and it will out run the Civic and Corolla...been there done that!

    I wouldn't put my son or daughter in the Civic or Corolla, but I would in the Focus. The Focus just feels safer.

    I'm not biased, just impressed with the Focus. Ford did their homework on this one!

  • I'd have to agree with you. I've been in both and the Focus is just plain better.

  • The corolla is way better than the Focus. I've driven the Focus and Corolla and the Corolla is totally better.

  • lmao...focus? haha....not even comparable

  • We'll compare it with a new Malibu then, and let me tell you, the new Malibu leaves all other competition in the dust. Gas mileage, power, features, you can't beat it.

  • DUDE! you comparing Malibu to Corolla...2 different classes...corolla vs cobalt, malibu vs camry.

    btw...how many old malibu's you see on the road?? streets around the world are filled with old corollas. this tells you quality of the car/.

  • A lot of them actually. So by saying the Focus and Corolla weren't comparable, you meant that the Corolla was just that much better? I'd look at the new Focus if I were you. Trust me, I used to HATE them, but Ford actually did a good job with the new ones.

  • I don't like any american brand cars, except Ford trucks (which are fairly decent, due to high commercial demand) and Dodge minivans. A lot of people say FUCK JAPS CARS, well most of TOYOTA cars made and assembled in US, lots of FORD parts are actually imported from china and japan. Toyota is just as american as Ford, GM, and other car manufacturers. Big 3 finally got a kick in the ass, and now they started making better cars. We can only find out in 10-15 years.

  • I've always loved American cars, but I respect Euro and Asian cars as well. I'm not being biased here, just give the Focus a little more credit. I was never a fan, but it IS a nice car nowadays.

  • I have to say Focus is probably the ugliest looking in this segment.

  • @zayeba I see tons of old malibus that is including mine to. So why does every body pick on GM products, I never see anything about a Ford or Chrysler product.

  • @zayeba got that right. There's a reason the corolla is the best selling car in the world.

  • @zayeba i rarly see a old corolla and if it is, its always a ricer. i always see malibus when i go riding

  • in asia,it has central arm rest but its useless coz not comfortable

  • i like the civic better because its interior is uncommon.not every cars has a digital spedometer and besides it looks cool at night,interior better looking than a corolla

  • very well said my friend, how is the spedometer in the day time...my 92 prelude gave me trouble when the sunshined

  • yeah but the corolla has more room, not to mention the corolla takes 1.8 liters where as the civic takes 2.0 liters of fuel. The Toyota is way more economical in gas also. Most Civics fans get ripped off thinking they are getting a really good deal.

  • um you must be like a really corolla fan so i respect that,but if u check the civic is allsow a 1.8 liters,and it has more power and it gets better mpg at the highway.yeah it might be a little bit expensive and thats why allot of people get stuck with a corolla and the civic is more fun to drive than a corolla...if u have any doubt that the corolla beats the civic watch the comparison videos

  • I hate Toyota's clocks. WHy can't they just integrate them into the radio?

  • The front is nice....Toyota has to work on the design of the back...it's putrid.

  • reliable and very good fuel economy.

  • great review ! u're right ! the legroom is too tight ! nice review !

  • pretty dissapointed with my 2009 Corolla.Next time i'll go for civic

  • yes! corolla sucks! civic is way way better LOL!

  • I like the corolla dashboard and interior better in comparison to the new honda civic dash and interior. The dash sits incredible low, and it's just awkward for tall people like myself

  • dont judge a car by its dash but by its comfort n performance

  • The car is nice but I dont like the color in the video

  • my aunt has this car

  • finally toyota has changed the stupid gear stick of the previous models

  • I have a corolla s Black Auto i love it its very nice I love the sound of my car alarm lol

  • this is a nice car, very good for money and it is Toyota

  • so i was searching for a corolla on Autotrader within my 25 mile radius, and more than 1000 cars popped up. i wish the Mazda3 had that many listings.

  • my 99 camry has very little rust less infact than people i know who have 2002 tarus, 2004 mazda3 and hyundai. i mean wh y are the fenders on these cars rusting out when my 99 camry isnt and my dads 04 camrty isnt

  • shows what you know pontiac is dead and if saturn isnt sold it it will be dead

  • I like the Scion Xb

  • the only bad thing about the corolla is the power steering, which is keeping me from getting one.

  • I like the better fuel economy, more refined quiet ride, more roomy Corolla. The long dash and big windshield do nothing for the weak Honda A/C system. For sporty handling I'd get the Corolla S or a Mazda 3. Stability control is standard on the 2010 Corolla.

  • This guy keeps talking about the POS sub-compact civic. The civic is noisy,cramped,ugly and cheap feeling. Sure the corolla is boring, but it feels a lot more solid. I'd get tired of the hard seats and bumpy ride and jerky steering in a civic after 5 minutes.

  • He only referred to the Civic four times, and he did not only mention the Civic, he talked about other cars as well. Why single out the Civic? Also the comparisons he made are not decision makers (cup holders and center console, etc.), they're both similar minus the AC controls.

    You might not like the Civic, but your opinions on the car are not facts. I'm a '09 TSX owner but I still find the Civic fun to drive, quite comfortable and liking the new '09 aggressive look.

  • Not taking anything away from the Corolla though, still a good and affordable car.

  • A Saturn Astra is a much better car. I like it.

  • theres no warranty Saturn is dead

    if you want warranty call the White House

  • LOL SATURN!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

  • Well for middle income earners and practical they would prefer Corolla. Frankly, some people hate Corolla because it's not that youthful looking it/s mixed, so for those of you who hates corolla, so don''t buy nobody force you to :)

  • lower insurance, better resale, less fun, usually a smart buy for longterm, if you are going to lease, getting the Mazda 3 should be a wiser decision.

  • Corolla design looks old. Well to me, here in my country you rarely see the corolla, only civic. BTW, the civic here looks the same as Acura CSX

  • Keeping it short:

    Had a EPS Power Steering Problem Customer support didn't help. The steering was jerking (pulling) when driving after 30 min. After 3 weeks in Toyota Service and just 1 month of ownership to cut my losses and got the same make and model 2009 Corrolla and paid $1300 since it was "used".

  • corolla rocks .and civic sucks

  • the corolla can't even come close to the civic and I really hope what you said is a joke cause if its not you are an idiot and probably should not be driving

  • The civc is WAY better that the corolla.

  • They both suck ass...there fight over.

  • You can't compare civics to corollas... First, civics are more for the ''sporty'' aspect of driving (V-Tech) but the corolla is more for comfort... Civics aren't comfy at all... corollas are... Civics are faster thought.

  • I totally agree! I hate the dash design in the current civic. Ugliest I've ever seen, which prevented me from buying one.

  • Comment removed

  • What? Taller people would want to know how far back the seat goes...what's so retarted about that?

  • Is it really as QUIET as they say it is???

  • are you serious? did he just say coloured people will wanna now how far back the seat goes?? what a douche!

  • TALLER people

  • 1:37 Was he on crack???!!

  • corolla SUCKS!!!...man i almost purchased one only becasue of the deal they gave me but i didnt really like the interior ...it just sucks and is boring...im glad i bought the 09 civic coupe lx.....waaay much better quality wise..but dont get me wrong.....corolla are probably more reliable than civics...just a little

  • 58%?

    yeah right

    you're saying half of its employees gone????

    are you kidding us? Toyota sold the most cars this year. Not even GM is laying off half of its workers. Stupid...

  • Pontiac is going bankrupt... By next year, they're out if what i heard is true­...

  • as well ass hammar, saab and saturn

  • The G8 is a sweet ass car!!!!!

  • This car sucks, get a proper car that's not this

  • honda civi is better and sexier

  • Corolla has that damn electronic steering that a whole bunch of people hate. I bought the Civic, and love it. 36 MPG every time. Great car. I would have went with the Corolla considering the deal I had lined up but that steering is scary.

  • i will buy BMW Z4 yeah

  • Toyota is ugly, weak, and is for girls, buy American. American cars are awesome. There are so many good ones now that are fun to drive and look great.

    Besides nobody is buying Toyota and for good reasons, plus Fox news just said that Toyota Sales are down 56% !!

  • Yeah! Buy American carsmade in Mexico? Toyota produces cars and forklift in the US employing lots of Americans; furthermore, Toyota hasnt laid anyone off, exclude contractors, in the past nor current recession. I guess if youre getting your economic stats from Fox News instead of Globalinsight the scale upon your eyes have a solid wield:-)

  • Hey... Fox News just reported that Toyota sold more trucks last year than Dodge in the U.S.A.!!!

    Toyota has $148,000,000,000.00 in reserves, they save their money to avoid the situation the Big three are in!

    Toyota is still building factories in North America to employ more of us than ever... get your facts straight!

  • I wouldn't believe anything that Fox News says...

  • 148 trillion?!?!

  • No that # reads 148 Billion.

  • this is toyota's god car

  • this might be my second car. i dont know i would trade in a 2001 ford taurus.

  • ugly design also civic ugly design, what happen?

    lancer beautiful mazda 3 also

  • im not worried about looks as much as quality and this is it. i dont think it looks terrible. not like the civic at least. im starting to like it more as i didn't at first.

  • ok i understand you appreciate the car with more time, but i like  the first impression )

  • Actually, I'd get a matrix toyota makes good cars. Get a 92' corolla, trust me

  • debeating between this, tc, or civic coupe.

  • i would get the tc i had one but if you wont somthing a little better and dont mind buying use get a g35

  • i was also looking at a used honda integra type r.

    an 04 model isn't that expensive or the celica might be making a comeback soon. :)

  • i changed my mind now. im now looking at this car and possibly a used honda accord. the scion seems like a chick car to me and somewhat like a toy car. it's very nice besides that. this is a first car, so a g35 is out of the question. i need insurance as cheap as possible. the g35 doesn't compare to a corolla.

  • lol my first car 2 scion not realy a chick car dont listen to what people her are 12 think about them
