To everyone below and above me, you are all wrong. German/Japanese/American cars are no different. They are all the same exact thing with different shaped parts. The reason the fall apart and break has NOTHING to do with where it is made. It has more to do with the life it's lived. Metal rusts, parts fail, and owners neglect their cars. Some are hard to work on, and some are easy to fix. Sure, some cars are junk (Fiesta, anyone?) but that has more to do with lazy design that country of origin.
@98770 and german cars are a pain in the arse to fix and are the worst design in the world, and buddy ur Audi, the audi A4 to acess the drive belts u must take the whole bumper of and rad of an headlights because they make no space to get tools in to fix it, unlike commodores and corollas^ where there is plently of room to get ur tools and shit in the tight spots to fix things
Same goes for lexus,if you argue with any toyota or lexus owner they will continiualy brag about its reliabilty,but when you ask them about thrill in driving, sporty driving ,is it fun to drive or is it even beautiful to look at ... Heh,they come to a dead stop thats why I stick with german cars and my personal favourite and what I drive :audi a6. But realy all german car brands are good.
@moneshmahtani I am in North America, in my opinion,German cars are not very well made because we have to drive long distances that are not just on paved roads ether. especially on dirt roads or roads that have large holes in the ground. in additions parts are expensive and difficult to obtain without going through the dealership. as a matter of fact, the majority of vehicles depend on the area as well.
I completely agree with Clarkson. Toyotas are bought by people who don't care about cars. I have a '99 Corolla, and even though it's been very good to me, I can't wait to get rid of it. (Only reason I have it is it was given to me.)
@tompointzero If you want to tune a car, why would you start with a corolla? That's like wanting to build a mansion and starting with a shed. It makes no sense. You want an amazing car, you start with a good platform.
@tompointzero This is true. But I maintain that some production cars are better than others, and just about everything > Corolla. The Corolla's just a bland car; it's hard to fall in love with it. Even something like a Yugo has character because of how bad it is. The Corolla just has no character.
@tompointzero If this is your attitude towards cars and driving, may I ask why you're commenting on a Top Gear video? It seems you'd be more at home with Consumer Reports.
my nigga german and italian cars are great but overrated as well, stop riding dick and buy a corolla, it may be bland but u dont have to drive in blandly.
I had 1987 AE82 corolla GT! And my goodness it was FUN FUN FUN! No other car ever has or ever will teach me as much about power, control, handling and driving.
It would beat Porche 928, lotus Elise, BMW, I can only remember loosing to a Lamborghini Diablo.
I own the earlier 1989 1.3 GL Corolla, 70,000 miles on it, bought for £200. Very reliable, love it. I laugh at how cheap the parts are in comparison to new cars. The only problem is the climate in UK, damp weather means my car does need body work done to two wheel arches. Other than that the car stands the test of time. I think its also a great shape of car. The Saloon is great for putting shopping in easily also. The only issue is it does not have power steering like modern cars.
i have a 93 corolla 1.6 gli. and i'm really happy to how the previous owner took great care of it. for and 18 year old car this thing kicks some civic ass. i love it. and yes it is fast.
89 camry is what i own, it has 150,000 on it, and ticks better than any clock I have ever heard, I get almost 35 per gallon...granted it doesn't exactly haul, but I can corner, and maintain my speed through turns faster than most cars that tempt my fury haha (ohhh the irony) toyota's are quite grand!
As for performance and handling, I've taken familiar stretches of road balls out in this car. I'ts a go-kart with glass, with great weight distribution, it is very tame during weight transfer. Believe it or not, it has a bit of torque to pull through corners aswell.
I also drive a 95 Corolla. It has 400,000km on it, and it's for sale. The body rusted around the powerplant, so it got a body restoration. The timing belt has been changed, but the motor has never been opened, it's never had to. I've let the car sit for a month in cold weather, and it still starts up like the day I got it (3 hits from the starter, straight to fast idle) It's only a 3 speed auto, so this motor has seen its 6,300rpm redline on several occasions.
My father sold his 1991 jetta diesel at 300 000 miles. Now, last time he heard about it from his mechanical, it had 470 000 miles to the counter and it's still working. the corolla may be reliable, but you can still find better.
@td4owner that maybe so , but this program was in 93 or something and it is about the complete customer experience with Toyota and not just the corolla.
Clarkson is the sort of guy that prefer a car that breaks down just because it surprises you : "when will it stop ? will I arrive at destination ?". He couldn't care about reliability, and wouldn't admit he hated his Ford GT because it never worked
I respect that, but I also respect the "car-ishness" of the Corolla
I have Toyota Corolla DX -82. It was in my grandfather's garage for 11 years with no use. It started at the second try. First try we forget to put the alternator on so basically it was the first try.
drove 3800 km in a E12 this summer... the car is crap. it does go but it's not exactly comfortable, it feels like you're drunk (can't remember last 5 minutes), not so spacious, not so economical, and the automatic box is dangerously stupid - sometimes doesn't kick 2 gears down and you're in danger of facing a lorry, especially going uphill. next time i'll make the journey in my '91 740 and actually enjoy it.
i owned a 91' Toyota Corolla Gli Twincam 16v.......97kw with chip on block..It had 430000kms when it was stolen....It still is the best car i have driven & the quickest in it's league
Owned a ae101.. was ok. Bought for 1000$, 98 was just about the right price. Nothing special, just a toyota. Not made well, made SIMPLY which means less things to go wrong. I love working on toyotas but they are the most boring ass nothing-nothing on 4 wheels.
always will love the corolla, my 03 model tops out at 210Km/h an hour and handles beautifully, i drove a mates astra it could barely do 180Km/h and handled like a bag of shit!
gti was clearly not on full gas lol, i say this couz i dont see the bumps that corrolla does when changing gear, so i believe gti was changing gears smoothly.
Weren't the European E100 Corollas only optioned with a 4A-FE as their 1.6L motor? I wonder what Jeremy's thoughts would've been if he drove a GT model with the 20v 4A-GE :P
My first car was a Carina (Toyota that is.. friend of mine had a Carina "Girl") of the very old type. It was absolutely unkillable. Never did anything else to it than fuel it up and drive it. I bought it for nothing, so when the clutch eventually couldnt take anymore, I scrapped it because replacing the clutch would cost more :p
I had a corolla with almost 200hp and it handled like a dream, it accepts every bit of input you gave it, i don't agree with any of the negatives wouldn't change a thing
I had a 1994 black Corrolla and it had done 367,000 miles at its life end, went though 5 cambelts and 3 clutches, was serviced every year from 1994 when new, truly a work hourse, agree its boring as hell but cheep, reliable and built like a brick shit house, only reason I got rid of my Corolla is it failed MOT on rust at 17 years old (passenger side door sill full of tin rot) engine and everything ells still worked fine, the corrolla was a legend in my opinion, now have 1995 Toyota MR2 Turbo !
@mrcrtking heh i hav toyota avensis with 230,000 miles on it and its still going perfect didnt change anything for last 4 years except back shocks and break pads.
@mrcrtking no way ahah my 94 white corolla has 326,000 miles, and with tons of bullying! im glad to know I still have more 40,000 miles to go at least. its more of a war machine than a car. as you said, its a boring car to drive, the suspension is far to soft and souch a heavy car to drive, but i love it!
Look at you lot bitching like girls,man up!!I've got a van......an a bike that will smash any car you've ever driven!as for you with the Audi,that proves your a complete twat,just like every other Audi driver!rant over
This car was designed to do what cars were meant to do in the first place.
Get a person to point (A) to point (B) with as little fuss as possible.
It may not be the most stylish car out there nor the fastest it wasn't meant to be.
I do get laughed at ever once in a while driving this thing, but i laugh when my car starts up with no problems every time just as it's been doing since 1995.
With 167,345 miles on it now, I doubt it will ever stop running.
@ChampangeSuperNovaz That's what they invented beater cars for, plus a beater Camaro looks better than your Toyota, is just as reliable and costs about the same.
@ChampangeSuperNovaz Your argument is stupid. I purchased a neat little Acura Integra RS coupe for 3k, lowered it, added wheels, and an intake. It's economical, just as (if not more) reliable than your Toyota, absolutely a breeze to work on, and very fun to drive. It also goes without saying that it looks much better than a corolla.
This is just one example of a cheap, fun, and reliable car. Buying a corolla is an absolutely daft move and proves that you have no imagination.
My old Volvo 850 Turbo had over 200k miles on it and it wasn't a soul-less econobox piece of shit. Started every time and I could beat V8 Mustangs with it on a daily basis. You people who buy these miserable little shit cars are just so used to mediocrity and a life of no excitement.
@ChampangeSuperNovaz I actually like the design and those cars are not at all boring, but the main thing is, that these cars are SO STRONG! We drove about 2500 km through the mountains of norway, with 5 persons, 5 bicycles and a big fully loaded trailer. Well it is an avensis, but no matter. My toyota is fantastic :)
Hmmmmm yes, no.....mabey...... at the end of the day he drove the "run of the mill corolla". That is kinda like saying "All Subaru Imprezza's are gutless, old women shopping trolleys" after driving the 1.5L gutless, old women shopping trolley model. The corolla has always been a broad range of cars, even exciting ones. There was the FXGT (sports pack), 20v Levin/Sprinter, AE85/86 and even the insane corolla BLADE (3L V6 hatch)......and errr what was the LAST toyota rally car?
smart people have these. dumb people laugh at these. i put my money in the bank.... and laugh when i see a guy younger than me who has clearly maxed out his available credit on his "cool" car. if you need a car to get you laid your pathetic... and attracting flakey bitches. if you can pull in your toyata corolla you know your the man.
@tubestick00 yeah, but petrol heads don't buy cars to pick up chicks, they do it because those cars are fun to both look at and drive in, that's why, even though they are extremely unreliable, Alfa Romeos are the car enthusiasts first pick, oh and the Corolla doesn't even deserve to be called a car, it is just transporting machine and since you CLEARLY aren't a car enthusiast what are you doing watching TOP GEAR troll?!
@georgeturbo1983 excuse me...'Toyota doesnt deserved to be callled a car'...this is the peice of brilliant machinery that has made cars available to hundred of millions of people all around the world....this is undoubtedly one of the most inflential car series of the last 50 years....and youre just a phony wannabe petrol head who heard about the alfa romeo for the first time on top gear when jeremy goes on and on about it being a passionate car.....
@chocoholic7292 I have actually driven an Alfa and I quite liked it, and I am not gonna get into an argument about what I am because I know what I am, brilliant, influential, please, I have seen more clever stuff on Rovers, just go and ask someone in Africa what cars he likes and sees on the road often, answer: Mercedes, and the most brilliant piece of car engineering is the S-Class you cock, so stop talking shit right now.
@georgeturbo1983 i think we all know who you are now after that last comment george..youre a CUNT..your a CUNT now..and youve always been a CUNT,and mabye the only thing that'll happen to you is that you'll become a even bigger CUNT P.S:and just because your cunt fucking father has a mercedes doesnt mean its the best fucking piece of machinery on the planet and oiii cunt i have lived in africa motherfucker and i can attest to the fact that the mercedes is not the most common car on the road..
@chocoholic7292 A) What's a cunt B) I'm an adult. C) My dad has a Citroen C5. D) Why do you think all great dictatotor of Africa has an S-Class. E) Good for you, traveling to Africa must have been nice. F) Then what is smart guy?
Respond to this video... its the corolla and the civic.....also....'all thats included in the fun to drive part'...that doesnt even make sense you Fucktard...'it should roar like a wild run''eh because all cars have huge v8 and v10's right...?your a fucking baby....now fuck off..
@chocoholic7292 All of the cars on my street have silent V4s and V6, which is something I don't like; I am an adult; I know it doesn't make sense to you cause you're a RETARD; stop putting fuck in words, cause you're sounding like a retard; you know what, I will fuck off, I have no more time to spend arguing with a retard.
@georgeturbo1983 the most important is how you maintain it. but climates and conditions can affect the reliability of an automobile. for example Mercedes in Europe / Africa may be reliable but in North America its not. French car makers(Peugeot & Citroen) used to be here 20 years ago but they quit selling them due to reliability problems plus they were unable to pass US Emissions & safety standards.(They were not willing to spend money).let alone California emissions Regulation.
@georgeturbo1983 also real petrol heads unlike you dont buy cars because they are fun to look at...hell they dont even have to buy them but because they appreciate the feel of the gear in their hands and the hum of the engine and a journey over the countryside
@chocoholic7292 all that's included in the fun to drive part, oh and an engine shouldn't hum, it should roar like a wild lion, huming is for electric cars, from witch only few are actually good.
@areufkingkiddingme no you lose.... they've erroded your personality with those types of gestures over your lifetime. you are lacking in character now, and dont have the most satisfying feeling in the world available to you. standing on your own. independant people are successful people. your comment reaks of a spoilt unhappy man. you lose big time
@areufkingkiddingme no your not. you dont need to try to convince me. you do not need to lie either. you owe most of your achievements so far to your parents, which is nothing to be ashamed of is it? yet you are ashamed... so much so you attempt to lie and stretch the truth. you dont like to admit the help you've had. you'd rather not talk about the opportunities to forge your own path, which you were robbed of with these undermining gestures.
@tubestick00 You seem like a very bitter man. I know this because you are obsessed with bringing to the surface my own dissatisfaction with my life. Obviously there is some connection to yours. Did your parents abandon you as a kid? I'm sorry. By the way I was a B and C student until I got to college at which point I applied myself and got into medical school. You think my parents started giving a shit when I got to college? No. I did. As a result, I got an Audi. Booyah Biatch!
my aunt has a 1991 le and granted it feels like I'm driving a KO-cart, it is still running to this day. kinda fun. low to the ground, not much sound deadening material so the little 4 growls. granted terrible handler but a great little car to get you there and back again and again and again with the most minimal maintenance. I actually love that little car. it's cute. some days i turn up the two speaker cassette stereo and just fly away in my white box with blue cloth interior.
@patsyaaa and i wonder what makes things boring? yup you got it things are not what is boring people are, wer all only here for a while, so make some understanding of it, on what we called - life
I think opinions on cars should be based on facts. Boring is something that changes from people to people, there is not standard to it. But this is my point of view, I still see corollas from 1994 around, If I bought one of those corollas and still own it today, imagine the bunch of money saved, now , what you do with your money is your problem , but I'm sure I'd have money enough to have fun. So it might not be a funny car, but it helps you to have fun...
I got the same car, it's much better, nicer and longer to drive as any golf, astra or such crap! the design is perfect, after 18 years still up to date! thanks to the intelligent constructors in nagoya!!
@iknowcarsbetterthanu he was saying the corolla he owned was super reliable but it didnt even compare to the BMW, thats why he said enjoy life, cause he would much rather drive the BMW
@Strike86 Well i dont know what engine is in that corolla, but only the FX GT corolla have vvt at that time.
And the golf is only 100 kg more than the corolla.
I guess that the corolla is a 1.8 wich has a t-vis system that gives more torque in the low rpm and then opens at high rpm wich result in better horsepower.
Mrcoddy - cuz vw sucks toyotas butts, they admit that they cant build propper cars and pickups buy buying the Hilux and caling it Taro
Very true, first car I drove after I got my license, was a 1997 corolla :D Exactly like in the video, it didnt have power steering, didnt ever break down, and was pretty economical.
Now I have an e34 525i BMW, and have done 47 000km's with it. One small fuel leak, and one trailing arm bushing replaced. The difference between the two is like gravelroad vs new asphalt :)
So it's obviously like comparing apples to oranges. Jeremy likes a different kind of car; a car that he can be extremely involved in concerning its gear changing and etc. But this car is meant for people that just want to keep things simple and get from point A to point B with no fuss, because they get enough fuss from other things in their lives on a daily basis.
This is why there are different types of cars - there are many different types of people with different types of needs. Yay! :-)
@patsyaaa u should have bought the right corolla and would have been fine... BMW was never really working good for me... Throw a 4AGE engine in a corolla and enjoy driving. :) (prrof on my channel)
although, i give him credit on pointing it's weakness! it's SO TRUE, in all japanese cars of the period! no interaction of the car with the driver, one's just meat on the seat! interaction's more fun in a Lada! at least there is any!
I got to say, corolla may be a boring car but my family have one. the AE100, it becomes a heritage for our family. It serves us well for 20 years.. It still looks brand new. Upgraded its engine to 4age silvertop from the puny 1.3 litre engine and now I use it to go to my college.. hehe.. I have fun with it (just because of the engine).
i wonder how ugly looking guy with stupid joke became a public figure...other genius & presentable engineer can describe about car even better than this guy...
@TechWalrus Not in my opionon anyway. I think the only Nissans you should buy are the Z series and the GTR. And I know Nissan is Japanees, I am saying the Maxima is made in the usa which in my opinoin makes it bad automatically. Jeremy Clarkson would agree with me I am 99.999999% sure.
@halberdierv2 Tell me about it! I was a kid who thought I had the world by the balls. I needed nothing but my Playstation 1 to be happy and had lots of freinds. Now; I'm 26, working a bullshit job, living with my mother, addicted to a drug and depressed. The only good thing about life since I got older is the fact that I can drive, and that I've had a bunch of really fun cars.
@staggabob I've owned 3 Integras (1 DA 2 DC) 5 Civics (mostly SOHC Vtec) Nissan Sentra, Dodge Stratus etc..but the ones that stood out? 1. Acura Integra GS-R 2. Ford Probe GT (current daily driver) and believe it or not 3. Geo Storm GSI. The last 3 were all manual and the Storm really was a blast. 1.6 DOHC Isuzu motor. 7750rpm redline, the Integra speaks for itself cuz the GS-R was great and I love my Probe.
@whoohaaXL Sweet! I still haven't tried an Integra although it's one of those cars that still tempts me. TBH I got fed up with the lack of torque in my EP3 Type R and that put me off but I love the handling of those cars and the noise of the engine at 8000 rpm! I'd never heard of a Geo Storm though, we didn't get them in the UK but it looks cool, reminds me of a Gen 4 Celica (and i love Celicas :D) We got the Probe for a few years though, only the last gen but a very unique looking car!
Evrything he said still applies to toyotas today, and thats coming from someone who's grown up with a 92 Camry V6, Avalon, and Sequoia 5.7. SOOOOOO BORING!
Heh I owned a 3 door 2000 year Corolla and while it was the sort of car your nan would take shopping it was very competent. I own a 2006 Accord Type S now, while Japanese cars might be a little boring, when your dropping four or even five figures on a piece of kit you want it to be reliable not chucking out check engine codes every week.
Are you fucking kidding me? He thinks a Euro square box is more exciting than the corolla? He thinks that fine handling is "absent the driver"? His bias for what he calls Jap-o boxes is not just obvious but pathetically shallow and trite. He should be relegated to movie reviews.
@torogami2 This clown only did this show on the Toyota because it was voted Britans most satisfying car. Otherwise he wouldn't have dared to. Show me where he's ever done a show on the Celica or Supra. He refuses to drive one because he knows how good they are and he would hate to admit it - even if he did he would still go out of his way to insult them in some way - like "they're ugly" or something ignorant like that.
i bet that this corolla is still going strong today, but that Golf has been Tossed...

drove 3800 km in a E12 this summer... the car is crap. it does go but it's not exactly comfortable, it feels like you're drunk (can't remember last 5 minutes), not so spacious, not so economical, and the automatic box is dangerously stupid - sometimes doesn't kick 2 gears down and you're in danger of facing a lorry, especially going uphill. next time i'll make the journey in my '91 740 and actually enjoy it.

My first car was a Carina (Toyota that is.. friend of mine had a Carina "Girl") of the very old type. It was absolutely unkillable. Never did anything else to it than fuel it up and drive it. I bought it for nothing, so when the clutch eventually couldnt take anymore, I scrapped it because replacing the clutch would cost more :p

Get a person to point (A) to point (B) with as little fuss as possible.
It may not be the most stylish car out there nor the fastest it wasn't meant to be.
I do get laughed at ever once in a while driving this thing, but i laugh when my car starts up with no problems every time just as it's been doing since 1995.
With 167,345 miles on it now, I doubt it will ever stop running.

@georgeturbo1983 the most important is how you maintain it. but climates and conditions can affect the reliability of an automobile. for example Mercedes in Europe / Africa may be reliable but in North America its not. French car makers(Peugeot & Citroen) used to be here 20 years ago but they quit selling them due to reliability problems plus they were unable to pass US Emissions & safety standards.(They were not willing to spend money).let alone California emissions Regulation.

So it might not be a funny car, but it helps you to have fun...

@Strike86 Well i dont know what engine is in that corolla, but only the FX GT corolla have vvt at that time.
And the golf is only 100 kg more than the corolla.
I guess that the corolla is a 1.8 wich has a t-vis system that gives more torque in the low rpm and then opens at high rpm wich result in better horsepower.
