It still gets to 60mph in 10 seconds. If you want something that's going to start every time and not break down on you every 3 months then this is what you want.

Just picked up my first Toyota, a 2014 CPO Corolla S, black on black with 32,000 miles. So far I like the styling, the backup camera is great, cabin layout is cool, top stitching on the seats, awesome mpg, very comfortable. The hp is kind of a joke but once I'm up to speed on the freeway she'll keep up with traffic no problem. Paddle shifters seem gimicky to me, havn't really used them much. Overall it's a solid, quality car for not that much cost.

The car is beautiful, I love it and want it to be my first car definitely.

Honestly is not bad for the price. This car is aimed for teenagers that just need to go to school and work and go out with friends so it doesn't need all the powerful performance parts that other cars have.

Thank you for doing such a thorough job on especially the back seat spacing, most reviews barely cover that or miss it altogether. You did awesome, thanks!

I have driven the 2013 RAV4 and Avensis, with 2.0 and 1.8 gas engines. Both with the CVT, an awful gearbox. A regular six or seven speed automatic is much more predictable. When driving a car with CVT you can not control it in the same way, like if you lift ur foot of the pedal and it upshifts, and when you floor it, it down shifts. As for design the Corolla in the US looks a bit dull. Here in Europe the exterior is more "cutting edge", sharper lines. Anyways, nice to see an indie review again :)

I love the blue color like wow! and I previously did test drive the Corolla S Tech package and I did like the manual over using the CVT! great review and thank you for doing it!

I got this car today this car is awsome i got the silver

Always enjoy your reviews. Very informative and practical. Keep up the good work!

I am going to buy before the weekend as i liked this car and it's outstanding.

finally! A review by a normal person for normal people. Great job - keep up the good work. We'll watch for you again.

Thanks! Around 3:15 you mention firm and dart-y steering and then talk about how the "direct" steering makes it fun. I love the way this car handles. We have a lot of hilly winding roads where I live, and the 2014 S+ is soooooooo fun to drive on these types of curves. Maybe it's because I bought a used one that was broken in by 19k miles. I can also say, despite the annoying CVT, this one had more punch than the Elantra (sport), Civic and Impreza that I test drove before deciding to go with the Corolla S+. That Sport mode button helps a lot. Also, if the road noise is an issue for you, turn up the stereo - this one is well above grade for sound quality.

Hi, I really liked your video. Not bad at all for a middle school teacher / amateur car reviewer :-) . The video quality is great, the sound is excellent, this make your video really stand out, camera position and framing is perfect. Your video editing is very professional. A big A+++ for your hard work and dedication. Your review on the 2014 Toyota Corolla is well done. I would be inclined to buy one, after watching your video review. Thank you.

I got the 2011 corolla LE thinking of up grating to the 2014 is it worth it?

the Toyota Corolla is not a sports car by any means it is a point a to point b car the shift paddles on the car are mainly made for more mountain driving when your car is having a hard time getting up a hill and you need to shift up without having to floor the car and waste gas to get it to switch into that gear a lot of automatic transmission cars have that option but they put the manual shift paddles on the steering wheel to make it safer to choose that option for when you want to hit that hill in the correct gear. they chose that option to put the paddles on the cars steering wheel also to make it look more sport. it is not a Lamborghini by any means, remember the car has under 200hp which means that vehicle was made for daily driving/a grocery getter basically to save money and gasoline... lol Toyota is one of the best brand named for vehicles for many, many years now they last for a very long time and always will for a reason....

Going to look at one this weekend! I was lucky enough in my past to have an Acura TL S type S (2002) as my first car. I've been very disappointed in the amount of power in a lot of the test drives I've done so far but hopefully the Toyota doesn't disappoint. It's a great price and great on gas mileage. My poor little Acura is approaching 206,000 and I'm afraid I have to get something new.

I already have vw Jetta which is my first car and a BMW M series that I bought a month ago now I'm intrested in the corrola black on black # reliability 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

omw to buy this same exact car on friday. It has 91k miles and selling for 10,500 , worth it ?? or should I settle for a 2015 red camry xle with 132k miles for same price ?

If you want a sporty ride, why don't you buy it with a manual transmission instead of whining on the CVT which is meant to be a comfortable economic transmission and not a sporty one?

Excellent review man.. Your definitely on my top list.. right up there with Brian Cooley from CNET for car reviews. Keep them coming.

Nice review Greg :) I got the exact same model and color in your video! I'm liking it. Definitely gets better gas mileage than my last car which was a 2007 Toyota Camry XLE... the interior is very nice looking in my opinion. The rims and overall design looks great too. At first I thought it was going to be uncomfortable for me driving this car since a Camry is more spacious than Corollas but I thought that there was plenty of room.

A carry over to the 2015 Corollas. I must say that Blue Crush Metallic color is banging ! Sexy + Cool!

I own the 2014 Corolla Super White manual trans. Love it.

Your review was very well done man! Keep it up! Also I used to go to Gallup tons as a kid. As a descendant if Navajo Indians I have tons of family in Crystal, NM.

Awesome review. Glad I stumbled upon your channel.

Wow.. very nice job with the review man. Thank you so much.

amateur? this looks on par with any other great car review chanels

New York speed limit is 25 mph....how much power do you need actually?

The Corolla CVT is not as smooth as "a typical 6 or even 8 speed automatic"? (2:03 of video) Sure, except Corollas automatic transmission is a 4 speed automatic, so that's not exactly a fair comparison. For this class of car, and for peoples expectations of this class of car, this CVT is likely to be very satisfying. If you are expecting the smoothness of an 8 speed automatic, you can get a 2014 Lexus GS 350 or something similar.

Well done bro but can you let me know the difference between this and the 2015 Corolla S. Thank you

Great job on the review

Nice review. I just bought mine yesterday and I think its a very good drive and not too bad on the acceleration. One thing I noticed about the S Plus is the driver seat seems to "push" on my lower sides as the bucket seats seem to wrap around. Did you or anyone else notice this on the 14 S model?

I noticed the sharp turning bit myself.

In your opinion, would choose this corolla or the recent ford focus? I'm curious because I looking at both these cars.

Can you review the Volkswagen Jetta maybe tdi or gli for comparison. Awesome review btw better than the so called "professional" or mainstream car reviews of KZfaq :p

Great review! It's hard to get past the feeling though that most Toyotas are cars for geriatrics or those who hate owning an automobile.

awsome review. I am getting it in white. looks awsome.

I’m thinking of getting this car, but I hate the speedometer display. I like the LE one much more.

Not a fan of CVT transmissions, however I did test drive one of these in the same color and trim package and I found it pretty good. I didn't expect mind blowing performance, but it was good for the kind of car it is. Wouldn't mind owning one, however I'd probably end up getting a Scion tC over this. Still get the good interior room, and somewhat more features as standard, in a coupe body

Good review of the Corolla S...This was very informative...but I went with the sport model Nissan Sentra...!

The japanese version looks good too

Can anything be done to this engine? such as turbo or supercharge?

love this car

is rearlegroom better than the camry?

i heard the cvt in regular drive mode also "shifts" between 7 speeds. I'm still confused on it though

I wanted an S but I'm cool with my LE.

How do you update the GPS?

how relevant is the corolla with the 2016 civic being launched

Personally I prefer the 8th gen corollas, they are a lot more fun to drive, faster, make a nicer noise, and are better on gas.

This may sound like a dumb question but what it a CVT, and what does it do?

how many inches are those wheels

Mazda3 with bigger engines has better mpg

Nissan does make the best cvts Wats the best cvt there's no such thing as a good cvt. Drive 2015 altima 3.5 SL

A very vanilla car that pretends to be a sporty car. We need the XRS like in Canada.

я тоже был уверен. что купли качество у фирмы была новая королла с 2011 по 2013, на скорости под 100 врезался в фуру в лоб 30% был пристегнут,выжил врагам на зло .колесо ,стойку, рычаг, просто отрезало, остановил кузов .ИТОГ подушки ,преднатежитель ремня не сработали ,дверь водителя заклинело и это японская сборка, а что ждать от турецкой сборки, говн.говн,говн и тойота теперь для меня говн.., в том числе и руководство, в даны момент дело суде .дилер говорит слабы удар.писал и на завод в японию и в москву молчат, им пофиг ,для них я уже отжаты лимон .когда врезался очнулся смотрю, а подушек то нет ну тут я материл японцев, в мои 48 лет для меня самое главное , отличное качество .гаишник был тоже в шоке.По началу думал ну японцы разберуца быстро, им же это интересно почему система безопасности не сработала, да им пофиг на все и на всех ,а черны ящик которы теперь ставят в автомобиль в россий не прочесть,нахер он тогда нужен ..Пока писал ,все вспомнил закипел ,затресло хорошо что рядом нет тойотовского япоца ИТОГ тойота машина и руководство говн... говн... говн...kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o76md8mplrzcioU.html Выбор есть думайте Господа .это марка у меня была любимая, по этому так сильно и ненавижу,от любви до не навести один шаг 

I hate the rims

This car was a turd. I had to lease one back in 14' when my VW shit the bed and cracked a cylinder. For somone who doesnt care about cars or driving this is perfect. But for anyone who cares about driving I'm pretty sure m 5hp lawnmower puts out more torque then this thing

Oh, one more thing. If you can't grow a proper beard, due to a lesser amount of testosterone, you really should shave that peach fuzz off your face. People may take you more seriously, instead of trying to imitate a grown man.
