I concur. Built in Japan says it all. I bought this exact car in 2021 with a 6 speed intelligent manual transmission. It was by far the best manual I’ve ever driven. Sadly they have dropped that transmission from the line up and now it looks like it only comes in the Corolla GR. I traded it for a 40th anniversary Golf GTI with 6 speed manual. I wanted to keep the Corolla but got overruled. My trade in is still on the lot at VW of Daphne near Mobile. 14,200 loving miles, broken in properly and never anywhere near the red line.

What was the point in trading it in? If you loved it and it only had 12,000 miles and then I don’t understand.

@donr8773 7 ай бұрын

@bobbystillz222 Right, good question. When Volkswagen announced that they were discontinuing manual transmission’s after 2024 and the 40th anniversary models (2023) showed up I thought acquiring one in a 6speed would be a good move.. Both for the fun factor and resale in the future because of the manual. Plus, the dealer gave me $25,000 trade in. I paid $26,000 cash 33 months earlier. I couldn’t resist the deal. I did pay MSRP for the Golf GTI. The wife would not let me keep both, I tried. I lost a few miles a gallon but gained 73 hp and 122 lb/ft of torque.

I do think without folding down the back seats, the trunk could use more space. It only fits one big piece of luggage due to the shorter car body. The trunk of a normal sedan could fit two.

@stolenhal0 7 ай бұрын

Front seating area is comparable, except the dash sticks out a lot further. Back seats are much smaller and trunk is smaller, especially with the spare tire kit. You kind of really have to put the back seats down and remove the trunk cover if you really want to take full advantage of the cargo situation.

@microminiskirt 7 ай бұрын

HB is a smaller car than the Corolla sedan which makes it more easy to maneuver around and get into smaller parking spaces. The room suits me fine. I do have the backseats down because I do not carry passengers.@@stolenhal0 In my case I would have problems fitting the Corolla Sedan in my garage because the Sedan is slightly larger.

Every 2023 XSE hatch review I've seen shows the vehicle coming with a compact spare, as does the sedan. I bought my 2023 when they were very hard to get and, to my surprise, my came only with the fix-a-flat kit. I was told the spare is optional. I went ahead and bought my XSE any way and I really like the car BUT I wish the three or four car reviews I watched on KZfaq had mentioned the spare as being optional.

@supDruMz 7 ай бұрын

It's an option called "enhanced cargo space"where they replace the spare with a flat fix kit to allow for more cargo space. It's a free option so it's just something you have to check for.

@brucegraner5901 7 ай бұрын

I wish I my salesman had mentioned that. It took me two months to even see a hatchback after test driving a sedan where I did check to see if that car had a spare. Then came the videos showing the hatch with the spare. I test drove the car I bought off the showroom floor and when I came back to the dealership there were two other couples waiting to try the same car so since my 1996 Suzuki was on its last legs I told them I'd take the car. Somewhere in all the pressure to replace my Suzuki, the Corolla sedan with the spare and the videos showing it had a spare was the assumption my car had a spare as well. A lesson for my next life. However, I do appreciate you taking the time to send along that information. @@supDruMz

Solid chassis and good driving sports hatch. Love the looks but not a fan of the Prius-like dash or RAV-4 institutional interior and it’s a bit small. I think Toyotas drive pretty well and I’ll choose a Camry to rent without hesitation. Just got the comparable driving and a bit larger Impreza RS, not a lot of choices out there for a sports wagon/hatch (not hot hatch) and it has a responsive powertrain, solid handling and is super comfortable. Also wanted the Japan built status of it like the Corolla.

@@50sstanley love it! Real solid chassis, great ride and handling, responsive power train, comfortable, safe and practical with its flexible cargo capability. Easy to get 35 mpg on the highway and 500 miles on a tank makes it a great road trip car, AWD is unstoppable as long as the snow isn’t too deep. I only drive 3-5k a year so will likely never see its 120k service - probably $1500-2000 because of spark plug and CVT fluid replacement - 1/2 the other items you can likely do yourself and knock off a couple hundred.

I like the style of this car and the big screen with pgs. and apple wireless integration, but the rear leg room sucks. I have a 2020 Honda civic hatchback without pgs., but the rear leg room is much better and has more cargo space though that space isn't flat when the rear seats are positioned down. The torque and hp on this are slightly less, but not much. Also, I'd prefer just the automatic without paddle shifters. It seems that could be something that might get in the way slightly when steering, and also something unnecessary that could break down at some point in time. Hopefully they will change some things in later models. It could peak my interest a bit more into buying one. It looks like the head rests on the back seats come off, that would give more rear view out the window, I like that part. The Honda's headrests are stationary. There's less view because of that, and also with the spoiler atop the outside hatch where the rear lights are attached.

This is a very good car but there are some things I would change to make it great. The first thing is to lose the CRT transmission and go back to using the 7 gear system. CRT's are crap! And every manufacturer who has made them stock is just kidding themselves by saying that they are not. Don't believe me? Wait a few years and once out of warranty you will face an ugly truth. They will wear out and nobody will want to work on them. A replacement will cost you thousands. The second thing is to add disc brakes on all four wheels. Let's face it, drum brakes are yesterday's technology.

I considered the Corolla hatch. It should be very reliable long-term and the pricing seems quite good compared to the competition (I'd be happy with the base SE). I found it to drive quite nicely, but it has too many negatives for me. I think it's an ugly car. The rear seat room and cargo room are too cramped. They should have used the sedan's longer wheelbase. I'm also not a fan of the poorly conceived interior design. Poor storage space. Tiny buttons on the dash. I hate the screen sticking up from the top of the dashboard. Pointy outboard corners on the dash to bang your knees on. The Civic hatch and Mazda 3 hatch take care of most of those issues. The pricing on these two cars is a really poor value though in comparison.
