Quick Review | 2016 Toyota Corolla | The Appliance

We do a short and dirty review of the Toyota Corolla. With the compact segment inflamed with cars like the Honda Civic, Mazda 3, Ford Focus and Hyundai Elantra, will this modern Corolla have enough originality or will it rest on its reputation to get by?

There is a LARGE segment of us who want a reliable car that looks decent with good gas mileage. The Corolla is that. If you want a sports car, then look somewhere else. 'Nuff said.

I love how this review is so realistic. they didn't badger the corolla because it wasn't a "driver's car" like every other car reviewer does nowadays. They reviewed it for what it really is. An appliance that does the main job of a car A.K.A, reliable/comfortable transportation, really well. I own this car and I agree, some days I'm in my car and I really wish I had something faster, sportier, and cooler. Then while driving I see cars pulled over the road for speeding, or having some sort of mechanical trouble. I can't help but feel peace of mind that this thing is so comfortable, cheap, and low radar, that suddenly all regrets for not buying a sportier, cooler car kind of melt away. There's a reason that this is the best selling car worldwide. People really need to stop hating on toyota for being boring, cause at the end of the day, it get's the job done, although not as fun, is way easier, which is what really matters most when designing any product.

Over 192K on my 2016. Had it since brand new. Terrifyingly good car and does exactly what a car is supposed to do without headaches, drama, and expense!

This channel is such a hidden gem. I don't understand how you don't have 100, 000 subs. The blend of humor, information, editing, etc. is fantastic!

Some people want a reliable low cost car and not be up to their eyeballs with an $800 Lexus car payment.

[tornay]

Only in America can reliability sound like a bad thing. Lol

[arobjavan]

I have an automatic. It is fast, it is quality, it is durable, it is an excellent car and easy to maintain. It is the perfect car, and I paid $20000 for it out the door, by the way, i get 36 mpg at 75 mph, and at 60 mph, i get 40 mpg. This car is the symbol of perfection.

This is a great review thanks. I bought a new Corolla S and found this an honest review. All I care about is comfort and reliability with enough performance to keep me happy and that's what this car does. Very happy.

Sure the Civic may be sporty and fast but the Corolla is simply reliable and it will always get you from point A to point B. I’ll be looking into a used one in a couple months.

I have to say I felt the same way you do about the Corolla. But my feelings have changed tremendously since I bought a 2017 SE. I got rid of my Cherokee Trailhawk and that awful 9spd. I lease this Corolla and it will be handed down to my daughter in a few years when she is ready to drive. I got the CVT since the manual is even worse(I'm a manual guy always). The CVT, once you learn its ways, is much much better than the ZF 9spd. On the highway the Cherokee took what seems liked for ever to kick down for passing. The Corolla is way faster in highway passing. It's loud for sure. Not one single rattle. Car feels solid and handles decent considering solid rear axle. Now I've owned many enthusiasts cars and consider myself a true enthusiast. It's not a GTI or Miata. It's, like you said, an appliance. But a good appliance. It will run forever will normal maintenance. It looks decent and even has things 30K cars don't have like auto climate and nice wheels. I was always picking on the Corolla but now I'm beyond sold because it does its best at being just a car.

I bought the Corolla LE for $12k with 90k miles

I’m at 208k mile with 0 mechanical problems.

I changed the CVT fluid at 160k miles and it’s past due for another but no issues. I was worried about the CVT taking a shit on my but the CVT’s held up.

Extremely grateful for this car, it’s taken me through my apprenticeship, work, 24 hour road trips from Arizona to Missouri and plenty of 400 mile road trips.

If you drive a lot and need something reliable and good on gas look no further.

Thank you Toyota.

I love the 2016-2017 Toyota Corolla. Very very comfortable to drive and we're poor so great as an appliance that doesn't ever break!

[yifengzhou]

I felt a lot of people hating Toyota's Corolla and Camry, but every month we saw these two models on the top sale list. Those 'Sporty' cars like Mazda 6 sold really bad. I think Toyota really understands the marketing that majority people just want a super reliable, fuel efficient, comfortable ride commute car. Handling, acceleration, or dynamics are just cherries on the cake.

[RealtimeReviews]

Gotta give toyota credit even in top trim the price is very good unlike a loaded civic which is way overpriced

[slatt]

No crap dude, they were not trying to make a sports car; it's more for people who like comfort and reliability. So don't judge it on what it was not meant to do in the first place.

[kngez]

Bravo! Never seen so much info on a Corolla. Most useful review

[ShaneA]

Road tripped a 2014 corolla 1000 miles to Yellowstone. Mpg was 40 mpg the entire time. Comfy as heck. Cvt was terrible though, could not pass a semi going up a mountain road.

[recklesslyarrogant]

"You could have a small seizure and you would still drive safe" HAHAHHAHA BEST LINE!

[Daniel-tvtb]

I would own that car. Point a to point b, daily driver. As long as it looks well kept up who cares what you drive... You don't know anyone in the street and if you need to impress your friends then get new friends. The one exception in my book is if you need a nice car for your career.

I love how this guy throws good jokes around like it's nothing while staying perfectly serious XD
