All-new Toyota Corolla Review - Has Toyota Lost the Plot?

What on earth is going on here. Is that really a Corolla? Well yes, it is, and it's a properly interesting new car from the gigantic Japanese brand.

In this video our intrepid video journalist Ciro De Siena sets out to the far flung wilds of Hout Bay to test the new Corolla to its limits...by putting things in the boot, and imitating the CVT gearbox.

Enjoy!

Toyota is the definition of the pinnacle of greatness. Simple but sophisticated. Hey, that should be their motto

[senitnelav]

Toyota lately has been killing it with their designs. It's like they realised what Kia, Hyundai and Mazda have been doing these last few years and now want their piece of the cake.

Bought manual version after watching your review. Beautiful car. Drives so well. Thanks Ciro.

And unlike German cars, the infotainment will still work next week, you won't need a second mortgage to service it and car mechanics from Texas won't call it; "An endless money pit!".

[TORTLESSS]

Man, thank god our countries have almost the same car releases, I think you have the best reviews.

[renalannaidoo]

Was waiting for this guy
He does reviews nicely

[ianoliver]

Thank you very much. Don't know much about the car, but the presentation was brilliant. Completely opposite of what I was suspecting (dreading?). All too often I click on a likely thing about cars, and get a car in the distance with a hooligan foreground in a back-to-front hat who shouts at me in the plural. So nice to find a chap who does the right thing, knows what he's doing and talks to me as a person with a brain. Right. Spleen vented. Thank you very much.

Toyota really is the greatest car brand, no wonder the Corolla is the best selling nameplate of all time.This car is the most premium Corolla yet and will sell well because with SUVs ruling the roost, the most sensible sedan will always be the Corolla with that unmatched reputation for reliability and quality.I predict in five years Lexus will be giving BMW and Mercedes a run for their money in the South African premium car segment as I am starting to see slot more on the roads and as South Africans show more brand awareness which will be great since Lexus dominates in most major markets...

We currently have three corollas at home, this will definitely be the fourth! These things dont ever break. My one has 350 000km

[Salatiso]

I love it, great review as always.

If I was in the market for a car in this segment I'd seriously consider this, before buying the Civic Sedan.

[africanandproud]

His reviews are the best of any South African and among the very best in the world.

Relatively low ground clearance + long front overhang = chin scraper par excellence at speed bumps and driveway entrances! Just saying.

[poepflater]

even my old 93 sedan sentra has more boot space than most SUVs. But the car I loved most for being able to transport giant stuff was the Fiat Uno FIRE.
How far have we come where those were like R23000 new.

[anthonymindel]

Very good looking, please do a comparison between this new Corolla, the Honda Civic and new Mazda 3 sedan .

[galemalema]

I've been waiting for this review for a while....

[chetanjiva]

In the US, this would be the XLE trim, but it comes with 1.8l engine. The SE and XSE trim comes with the 2.0l engine and direct shift cvt that has a physical launch gear. Toyota safety sense 2.0 and Apple 🍏 car play is standard. The SE trim looks far better then this SA version. Toyota did a very good job with the suspension tuning. It is a quality car.

[rljmofokeng]

Probably watched this review about ten times. Im going in

[andriesswa]

What a great car. I am glad Toyota didn't bring a watered down version of the light cluster like they did with the hatch.

Wow America had this car in 2018 💔. Hope one-day he gets to review tesla in South Africa
