Is my love for the Corolla Sedan giving away my age?

Рет қаралды 20,027

I am at that age when I am unashamedly all about practicality and comfort. The Toyota Corolla Sedan is one of the most practical car-buying decisions you could make. As a long-term test car it has fit seamlessly into my family and I love it. It is also the Hybrid version which means it is so efficient and after almost a month with it, we have only had to fill it up once. I might not give it back!

The fact that you mentioned it has a bigger boot than a Suv. is super informative and should be a wake up call that we shouldn't be blinded by all the cross over models and suv's. Thanks for an unique way of reviewing cars.👍

Bigger does not mean better access. When I had to move it was easier to load things into my polo than my e-class with a bigger boot

R570K for a Corolla Sedan is bonkers.

@seanfenwick 26 күн бұрын

So is R500k for a Tiggo….

@angrysocialjusticewarrior 26 күн бұрын

Why not? Its a huge sedan that has a huge boot, comes with leather front and back plus steering wheel, comes with latest safety technology as standard, infotainment screen that supports android auto, a big 1.8L NA engine that is boosted by an electric motor, and is expected to be disproportionately more reliable than its competitors. You are not spending 570k on a depreciating asset. You are spending it on a lifetime investment for you and your kids.

I must confesses to being a Corolla fan. I leased 3 Corolla’s from 2009 - 2017 whilst living in the U.S.A and paid USD 119, 122 & 110 including servicing and road Tax. Whilst having a SUV I used the Corrolla as my Daily Drive , 60 mile per day commute to work. I also did numerous long distance road trips. Portland Oregon to San Diego, Vegas, Phoenix, Salt Lake and Vancouver.. My total send on the Corrolla was petrol and insurance. Never any back ache or complaints from MU wife or two children. Fantastic vehicle and would have one again

A misconception for B mode!!! B on the gear selector represents “engine braking” so it kicks on the engine and simulates a lower gear in the eCVT, often ideal for when you’re coasting down a hill and don’t want to wear out the brakes. This new fifth gen hybrid setup is already very efficient as is so there’s no need to throw it into any gear other than D when you’re driving on level surfaces. Experience from someone who’s had 3 Prius models with the same drive setup. Incredible marvel of machinery🔋⛽️

It was a toss up between this and the hatch, but wifey has one (1.2T) and the 2.0 sedan is expensive. So I went for another brand. But this is really a nice honest saloon with the most grown up looking Corolla in many years. Would still have loved one.
