My ex wife still drives a Corolla she bought in her college years. It certainly outlasted our relationship and marriage and I am pretty sure my son will be driving a handed down Corolla some years later when he will get a license. Corolla reliability is really something.

With 3 reviews per day he might review every car on sale right now, that's some commitment

Joe: I'm here at this undisclosed location. Navigation screen: No

Call me crazy... I know its "just a Corolla", but I'm really liking the way it looks. I saw a black one at night and thought it looked really sharp.

You are without a doubt the hardest working man in the automobile reviewing category! I love it because then I always have something to look forward too!

I’m always drawn to the hatchbacks. I love their versatility and their size which makes it easy to maneuver around the city and into tight parking spots. I really enjoy your reviews, subscribed!

Those seats look like they're straight out of some of the Lexus trims nicest interior I have seen in any Corolla

I'm glad you made plenty of honest comparisons to the competition. The Honda Civic Sport Hatchback, Mazda Mazda3 Hatchback, Toyota Corolla Hatchback, Subaru Impreza Hatchback, and Hyundai Elanta GT Hatchback are all so tempting options with 6-speed manual transmissions equipped

I love the black roof color I only saw one review of the black roof but now two thank you so much for working your butt off for uploading

Thanks for this detailed review. I bought this exact car (different color) three months ago and I concur with pretty much all your comments. Enjoying the ride every day. The 2020 model does have Android Auto, which is an improvement over 2019 model. The road/tire noise is quite noticeable especially on rougher road, as the cabin is somewhat resonating. Another feature you may want to cover is Remote Connect, where you can use a smartphone app to remotely lock/unlock the car, start the engine, get the car's GPS location, etc.

$27k is real rich for this car. No sunroof. Civic and maz3 are much better choices. Great review,as always, Joe.

Congrats on 50 million channel views Joe! I've watched several of your videos and counting. I've watched many reviews on other channels but I like yours the best. I'm a car enthusiast myself and have been since I was a teenager.

I bought this car about 2+ weeks ago in blue flame with the black roof. Only yesterday two people stopped me to ask about the car. It really stands out. I wasn't looking for a sporty car, just a car I could easily find in a supermarket parking lot, so I'm not disappointed that the car doesn't have a moon/sun roof. My husband considers it a plus not having them. As for what I've noticed so far: 1) I agree that no outlets in the back is a missed opportunity in a XSE trim, 2) the trunk seems awfully small but I have been able to get all my groceries in it without problems, 3) having a spare tire gives me peace of mind, 4) I like the blind spot monitoring, 5) I wish I could open the "back door" by pulling a lever inside the car or on my key fob. I have muscles but I find opening the "back door" not so easy. I'm hoping with use it will become easier, 6) although the instruction manual implies that I can change my speedometer screen to a digital read out, I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. I find taking my eyes off the road and guessing what my speed is to be distracting. 6) why doesn't the XSE offer a "heads up" display?, 7) You are funny when you talk about stashing your twinkies. I just want a place to easily stash change, cough drops and tissues. The car is designed with no wasted space leaving none of these kinds of easily reached storage spaces. They could have left me two or three inches in the arm rest., 8) so far driving around New England, my gas mileage has been extremely disappointing. I wonder if the car has a break in period and it will improve over time. Lastly, I got a really good deal in Toyota of Nashua. Ask for John Wight and tell him I sent you.

The amount of reviews you put out my friend deserves at least 700k subscribers 👍❤️🇺🇸

This hatch has so much potential. Looks really good to see. Hope in the next couple years they take this car another level.

You really are the best , nicest , funniest, car reviewer on KZfaq 👍🏻👍🏻🌹

My mom recently had her car in for service and she got the Corolla Hatchback as a loaner. We only had it a couple hours, but I loved it so much, I wanted it to be my car😂 I love hatchbacks

Brilliant Review with all aspects covered. First time i am seeing a Toyota with stylish cuts & captivating design elements! Love from Trichy, India.

The only thing it's missing is the engine and drivetrain from the new GR Yaris. All-wheel-drive 1.6L inline-3 turbo with 260hp.

Toyota, for whatever reason does not disclose this info but, you do have REMOTE START available for the XSE trim. All you have to do is press the lock button 3 times and then hold it down after the 3rd time for for a few seconds. This will perform a remote start on all XSE models. 👍

Great video. Been looking into Hatchbacks more lately. Haven't seen too many at the city dealerships though. They are trying to get their inventory back up. Every time I look at Hatchbacks online or regular cars even at the dealerships, I end up looking at crossovers too. I do like this car because it's a practical 4 door also. It's weird that Toyota doesn't have Android though, Android is so common. Just about everyone past 5 years is looking at their camera phone while driving and charging it. So that's why I like the Car screen on dash for this has Google maps etc., very well lit to see. And I agree with the video detail that a lot of car and crossover makers, their front end mesh black grill looks a lot a like, and also their light angles on the front are quite similar, Rear hatchbacks too. Peace to the uploader. More videos.

Iove the review! 🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯 keep up the great work! You save so many people from going to the dealership :). I love cars! But many ppl don’t even know what car they’re driving lol so it’s great to see you educating everyone but also keeping it fun and interesting! Also been subbed since you had like 1k or less ppl and look at where you’re at now! Super happy for you and your family!! Living the dream!

Joe, you forgot the business end! Great videos. Getting me excited about a new vehicle.

I think the Corolla is finally fun and with a sporty and sleeker design.Hi Joe 👍 keep up the good work.

Three years ago today! Still my dream car.

Just Bought exactly the same color combination with spoiler and manual transmission, got tons of complement. the ride is comfortable, fun on twisty roads and quick enough to have some fun. Adaptive cruise control makes it easy in road trips.

youre videos really brighten up my day

If they give it proper exhaust tips for 2021, it will definitely be on my shopping list

Oops! A little editing glitch.🤫 No worries.😎 Nice review Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

This car actually has remote start, but not the most obvious one. Triple click the lock button but hold on the last click

Awesome review, I absolutely love the 2 tone XSE, but it is odd that no matter what trim you get there's no sunroof option. I also really really hate the fake exhaust tips, it's a horrible trend started because people didn't wanna clean there tips off 🙄

I bought a 19 hatch, and it's been great. Excellent car for what it does. Wish the back seat had a bit more leg room like the sedan version, but it's actually got a small fun factor, awesome mpg in the SE because of the different side tires, and it's just night and day better than the previous gen corolla.

Love the two tone look, bring back the two tone cars!

Hey Joe! I don't know if you remember me but this is Elite2k I made a car channel because you are my inspiration and I hope to one day be as successful as you! Right now my videos are pretty bad but I'm working on improving them! Thanks for the inspiration I hope I can meet you at the Chicago auto show! :)

My wife’s 2019 has remote start. Fob looks the same. Press the lock button 4 times and hold it on the 4th time.

Good review without a bunch of fluff. Nice and to the point.

I bought the 2020 XSE in 6-speed manual because I wanted to stay involved with driving a car, and I have loved it. I would have preferred the Sedan, but only the hatchback came in manual, so that pretty much dictated the decision. If I had any suggestions for upgrading the vehicle it would be the following four. Number 1: While it is a compact car, the people sitting in the front pretty much obstruct all the air flow from the A/C, so Toyota should have really considered putting an A/C vent on the backside of the center console. It doesn't have to be directional, but something that's helping to push air to the back spaces would be a plus. Second suggestion: The back center arm rest should have a USB port installed or some type of charging station for the back. It only makes sense in every car on the road today. Especially if you want to appeal to people who might have children or passengers sitting there. The third suggestion, the speakers are a major disappointment, when linking calls or playing music from your phone, since nearly every car these days does so. It seems very muffled and difficult to make out at times. Toyota should really look at improving this area. And the final suggestion is kind of a trivial one, but the gloss black accents scratch very easily, especially those around the cup holders and on the hand holds for the doors. After a time I have noticed in other models that it just starts to look cheap afterwards. I will say that the only real problem I've noticed with the vehicle. When both my children sit in the back. It causes the car to think that someone is sitting in the center and the dinging that ensues drives me up the wall. The only two ways you have of turning it off, is to either have the armrest down, or if the kids have their book bags the seat-belt has to be buckled. Other then that. I am still very happy with my purchase and have loved driving the car.

I'm fairly quick to endlessly mock the typical KZfaq Toyota fanboy commentor, but I gotta say this two tone XSE Corolla hatchback is the best looking one I've seen. Cool exterior color combo 👍👍

Really like this new hatch Corolla, looks pretty good!

Not gonna lie, when you said " Let's see how it sounds through these fake exhaust tips " and started it, I legitimately checked my headphones because I thought the battery had died lol. Good review! Hopefully Toyota brings out a sporty version of this at some point.

He always talks about putting candy and or snacks in all the cubby spots 🤣🤣🤣

It’s great... that your review the high trim level...

I had a 4 door SE as a rental and I thought it was kind of fun to drive, as long as you use the paddles

This hatch is one of the most sporty - looking modern hatches and I really wish Toyota would make a more sporty model from the factory. Maybe a TRD? If they would stiffen it up a bit, maybe add a turbo or a better N/A motor, add a true functioning exhaust outlet and lower it a bit I would definently buy one. To me this just seems like it has so much more potential, but there's a channel on here called The Speed Academy, last week they just finished a build on a 2020 Corolla Hatch XSE and modded it to make it suitable for the track but still daily great. You should check it out it was only like 4 short episodes but they really hit the nail on the head with the build!

Great review 😊

Thanks guys another fine review. Toyota’s key to success Consumer satisfaction with quality over quarterly profits.

I love these two tone colors!!! I wish this hatchback was available in a hybrid

I just bought one yesterday the nightshade edition for the company I am happy

Looking back at this video it seems like Toyota actually listened to your suggestions in the creation of the Circuit and Core Editionss

Thanks for doin this review Joe. Had my eye on this car for a while; definitely near the top of my list.

Great review. Stepping up your game! Maybe rethink the driving camera angle. It would be more interesting if we could see your hands on the wheel.

Joe is the durango video coming out today ps love your videos

Great review as usual, Joe. Hope someday you can visit Japan and test all the lovely compact cars. Don't worry. There's a lot to zonk about them.

That is a really rad little car! Love it

Hey, great review. Can you also do a review of Kia seltos please

This hatchback has a young body, but a grandpa heart and soul. Once you seat in it, the thinking slow.

I had to resub. I didn't get the notification for this video. Thank God for Instagram.

Beautiful hatch. Have the new Mazda3 manual hatchback but I shopped this with the manual. Ultimately went for the Mazda’s luxurious interior and quieter cabin.

Can we get a “best hatchback of 2020” video?

Looks so nice and cute 😍

Ordered a 2.0ltr Excel Hybrid with Panoramic Sunroof and it arrives in 4 weeks. Mine is 184HP, 0-60 in 7.6sec with 66mpg so it’s different to the US version. I’m so excited!!!!!! Edit: Also the boot is small due to the battery being in the back whilst 1.8ltr battery is in the front and therefore the boot is larger.

"you're going to have to use your muscles " 🤣 🤣

If you are in the market for a smaller car buy this one. I did. XSE, CVT, in midnight black, black leather, JBL, etc. The hatchback is the only way to go in the Corolla. All the economy of the sedan but added utility of the hatchback cargo area. And a bonus is that you can get the high trim level (XSE) without the sunroof which allows enough headroom for tall guys in the front and back. I have owned many new Toyotas, never once disappointed.

"But why don't we fire it up and see what it sounds like...out of those fake exhausts" 😂😂 But really though, the Raiti family demands a "how to drive a manual" video from you!

Saw a nice green/black one with a add on kit. Look sexy as heck. Remind me of the old civic hatch days.

At 14:00 there’s no USB ports or AC vents, I watch all these videos on cars in this price range, Corolla, Civic, MAZDA3.....etc, and no one offers those options in that category.

New viewer here. Thank you - great overview of car. I want one but six speed manual although I am still confused what a simulated CVT manual shift mode is.

I’m really happy with my 2020 sedan SE. it’s a CHT, but for me it’s all I need from a family car.

I truly agree with you for transmission that’s the main reason why I don’t buy a lot of new cars because those dumb car transmissions they do it for mpg but there garbage I stuck with my ten year old gs350 actual standard transmission!

Need that android auto for people like me haha. I had bo idea how many cars you have reviewed Joe. Amazing. I hope to start reviewing cars like you. Keep it up 😎👍🏾

Love my 2021 hatchback!!

First time to hear Twinkie since the episode of All in the Family when Meathead ate the Twinkie that Archie had planned for Gunsmoke

Nice looking. I agree - soup this up with bigger engine and retain the manual option and you got a great car

I own a 2019 XSE in blue flame thanks to your 2019 review. I love my car but I 100% agree that we need a performance upgrade/TRD. I will trade my 2019 in for a TRD in a heartbeat

Great color combination specially that interior I love it. Good job Raiti's Rides.🙂👍

Hey Joe Great Review channel. Other reviewers just complain too much and give their opinions about subjective matters. They should just give the facts, and let the buyer decide how the interior or exterior looks.

The 2020 hatch xse is my first car, purchased 2 years ago, and I've been spoiled by it. When I drive my dad's base rav 4, I immediately start missing my corolla.

Joe, your a bizness end tease in this vid, unless back seat time is the new bizness end. 😂

Pretty neat entry tuner car! we have worked on them a little and pretty good car to get for mpg and good looking we did a few videos on one!

I’m glad I saw your review on this one first!

Hey buddy checking in

Great looking car and fabulous color combination. I’ll take it with a manual six speed.

Perfect for driving around the city.

Great review Joe!

I have the xse and it has remote start , android auto and Apple carplay. Great car not fast but it exceeded my expectations.

looks great! best looking toyota

Interior sound level at 50 MPH or so would be nice. Thanks for doing the review.

Joe doesn’t skip leg day

I like the looks, I don't really drive fast (I have a family). I'm one of those guys that if it's a single lane no-passing lane, if I'm up front your better have patience as I try my best to stick with it. Maybe +5mph from time to time.

This could have or should have been Toyota's GTI... Oh what could have been

I want to see a TRD version with a real TRD cool sounding exhaust, TRD wheels, cool brakes and TRD writing on the sport seats, a sporty steering wheels covered in leather and that cool stereo system. :)) 😁

Interesting look would love to see a ev hatch back one day

Toyota has the design right. I would love to see a GR version made to compete with the Veloster N and Civic Type R. They also need to bring that Yaris GR here.

Toyota should make the XSE trims with a HP boost. I’d say around 225-250 would be fantastic. Hyundai for example does that with there trims by giving a bigger engine

Am I the only one who noticed that the Driver Side and the Passenger Side Front seat footage is backwards? The driver side is shown first and then when Joe said let's look at the business end after the passenger side footage, He goes straight to the back seat @ the 13:16 mark.

good job Toyota, great review

I actually have one of these on order! A 2020 Corolla hatchback SE manual, with this same silver metallic color. I'm buying it just so I can learn how to drive a manual. I'm going with the SE, because the low-profile tires in the XSE trim are not compatible with our crappy, pothole filled Ohio roads. Fun fact: If the dealership doesn't have the color or trim level of the car you want, they can actually do a factory order with Toyota. You just need to find a non-scummy dealership willing to do it for you. And you have to be patient. The salesman ordered the Corolla for me in early December, but it won't arrive until mid-February.

Looks like a high end car. Awesome!

Great car, great review!

Definitely need a trd version with more power and performance options
