My girlfriend makes fun of me because I watch all these car reviews, but when we get a new car and I'm able to tell her how many Twinkies we can tote, she'll be thanking me!!!

That actually looks pretty decent. Could use some more power for that kind of price, though

That is not a performace car, its just a normal sedan with a body kit

*The collora looks good but getting that for $30k is too expensive for me* 😩

The apex looks amazing, but Toyota is literally taking everybody to the cleaners by charging everyone extra money for a body kit and the same Engine as the lower end corollas. Toyota hit it out of the park with the looks category but no more power meh I’ll pass.

I like how Joe drives it like he stole it

Beautiful car... but still has the same hp as the base se models lol

The collora looks good but getting that for $30,000 is Waste of money.

Same engine as an SE trim? Where is the "performance"? All I see is an overprice factory body kit.

Scotty Kilmer’s m3 LOL

I like that it's a naturally aspirated engine which means the reliability factor is there. For the most part for the money that we're spending here, I would think that Toyota could offer us at least 200 hp and still keep it naturally aspirated. I'm really impressed with the mpg of this design if it really gets that. Some of us working folks have long commutes every day going back and forth to work and how cool to have a little bit of everything in one car. Some folks forget that by having big power in a small car like this, you sacrifice fuel efficiency and reliability which defeats its purpose. Great review...!!! 🙂

It’s all fun and games until the rice-a-broni’s start chopping off the mufflers on this

I am driving my Corolla S for 10 years now, love this Apex one, Toyota i am still your fan. Thanks for another nice video Joe !

This guy is the best. Passionate about quality videos and it shows every single time.

I really like th car but the power isnt there. I would say a solid 200 for this car would be perfect

Once he said 169hp I closed the video... OMG!!!🤯😂

Toyota: Supra “nah don’t need a manual” Corolla “nEEds IT” Love that logic 😂🤣

Idk but I think reasonable price for this car is at least 24,000$ kinda like the civic si (25,000), 30,000$ is a little too much.

Why Toyota has been skimping on the Corolla's horsepower through the decades is beyond me. An economical Corolla, fine, but they should also offer a real "performer" trim, even naturally aspirated. If only that one had at least 200-210. Pluses with the manual, legroom and headroom, storage room, and some. But only 169 like the rest of the Corolla lineup? It sure doesn't look like a sleeper, but it does sleep compared to others in the same segment.

I’m a Toyota fan and buyer. Currently have a Lexus IS. So I say this with respect, but honesty - No version of the corolla is a performance sedan for anyone wondering.

Nicest Corolla I've seen in a hot minute.

Like the drive by shots, nice break from the standard video structure. (I like the standard video structure, but also the drive by) Good videos, thanks.

11:51 I can’t say that without laughing, 😂😂😂😂😂

@ 11:50 “Once you’re done playing with your balls” anyone? 😂 Love you Raiti’s Rides. Great content as always!

Simulating gears is far less important in a CVT than sounding like a normal engine and transmission to me. They should simulate that.

Joe, "you gotta coordinate"! LOL You and Corolla color matching today. Black, grey and bronze .

I like that it pops when you rev it so imagine putting and exhaust on it it’s gone be popping even louder

Toyota executives: "Let's build a performance Corolla." Toyota engineers: "Get the paint and body kits ready." Toyota marketing: "Charge a huge chunk for it. Buyers won't notice."

Only one man in this solar system could make me want to watch a review on a Corolla. And his name is: JOE RAITI!!!

This car looks beautiful, I'm glad Toyota is bringing back the sport heritage of the Corolla

He said performance car.... this has less horsepower than my 09 s Corolla dont really see anything huge on it

Just bought a Cement grey color one .. seriously fun car to drive. handles great . Thanks for all your reviews !

This is a nice middle ground between the regular and GR Corolla coming up. Very nice! Thanks for the awesome review.

Did I just hear him chirp second?! In a Corolla?! Legend status achieved!

I bought this 6 months ago new for $24,231 USD For reference, purchased 6/10/21, MSRP $27,037 USD Discount from dealer $1,307 $1,000 cash back rebate $500 Military rebate Total $24,231 + TTL Purchased in Chicago area, during the whole chip shortage fiasco. I am using as a daily driver and looking to hand down to my kids when they turn 16 in 8 to 10 years. The reason why I purchased it was because of gas mileage, smaller engine = cheaper to insure, especially when handed down to the kids. Also, my first car was a hand-me-down corolla, so wanted to keep the tradition alive. Ride is expected, but I grew up modding cars and had a lowered celica, and this felt about the same. If you have never been in a lowered, stiffened affordable family SEDAN that is not bred for performance like a Porsche/Ferrari, then you will probably hate the ride.

I was gonna rag on it because of the power but I keep forgivig it because of the good look and serious handling. Looks like a real blast to daily drive and not get speeding tickets.

We need a gr Corolla sedan !!

Sporty looking but lacking power. The wheels need a touch of the bronze accent. I’m not liking the white sections of the interior. Thanks for sharing it Joe, nice shoes! 👟 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Just got one as an enterprise rental. It was honestly the best rental car I could’ve ever hoped for

This black colour with the bronze design looks stunning ♥️♥️😍😍

All blacked out and a manual again! Now that's more like it!

Joe do you ever change clothes or sleep or eat? :D

if they wanted to go natural i would have liked a engine with a larger displacement like a 2.5L 4 or a 3.0L 6. but for 26k its ok.

That Corolla would be a good little fun daily driver, but would be even more fun if the put the Supra 2.0 i4 in it.

This car smell serious work by Toyota company and i like that agressive face.

$29,000 plus for a Corolla with a CVT - Did anyone take notice how “QUIET” he was while driving this car?

Raiti doesn’t skip calve day

I'm South African, and i must tell you, the Toyota Corolla Apex is amazing, especially in manual transmission. I'd drive it all day, every day. Love it

The new corolla's look pretty good, especially the hatch version

Why would I get this if a Kia Forte gt exists 😂

This guy always finds a way to sneak comical double entendres in his reviews. "Once you've done playing with your balls" 😃😀😄

Yo. Love the apex shoes touch

Ok, does Toyota actually needs to make a performance vehicle themselves without partnering up with Subaru and bmw and slapping TRD badges on their vehicles, am I right?

I could sell one today, if it had a conventional automatic. Apex is a cool shout back in time to the AE86 Corolla-one of the JDM models of that was called a Trueno Apex. Sure would like to see a Camry set up like this. Thanks for the video. Cheers.

I wouldn’t want to park this in my work parking lot lol

This one kind of snuck up on me. I had no idea this trim level existed. It actually looks really good. Can't wait for that GR Corolla.

They should of installed some aluminum pedals. Especially since it’s a 6 speed manual.

Another great review and way to score the manual Joe! $26,000 with rev matching. That is actually a really good value. That's what I'm talking about! Again, well done sir. Well done.

11:51 "Once you're done playing with your balls you can put 'em in there, they're not even gonna slide around."

The size of a dinner bell 🔔..🤣🤣🤣 besides the vehicles, the side cracks keeps me coming back ..👍🏾

I’m more excited about this Corolla then the “Supra” lols

Pretty neat car. I can see this being a total sleeper once some mods are done to it lol!

I need a rear wheel drive Toyota Corolla 6-speed manual twin cam like the AE86 in 2020-2021 u bring that back! U got my money

The black and gold/bronze on the car is a really nice subtle throwback to the ae86 corolla black limited

This is a beautiful Toyota, they've come a long way with their styling. I wish they'd refresh the corolla hatch with a turbo

lol 169 hp for 30k, meanwhile you can get an extra 100hp from a awd wrx at 27k. Uhhhhh no

Sharp looking car and the fact that Toyota is still offering a stick option is pretty rad. I would like to see a full-on TRD version of this thing. 250HP with 250elbows of torque and this thing would sell like crazy. The jury is out on the bronze accents IMO but at least they are not over the top. I really like the proportions and look of the new Corolla. Nice work Joe !!

Please add the rpm numbers when you share the HP and Torque, better if on screen

Sounds better than the Civic Type R

It's cool Toyota made this, it is pretty rare nowadays to have an N/A hot compact, and with a manual to boot. Shame it doesn't rev higher like the old XRS.

Some times I hate being at work and being unable to see videos, but man have I been looking forward to this review

Bruh said " check out those shoes" in the middle of talking about padels 🤣🤣

The bronze trim is a really nice touch! I think it would've been even cooler if the wheels were the same bronze color

You didn’t have to flex on us like that with the apex pumas 🥵🥵

Just looked at it and thought NICE. It looks very sporty and appealing all round.

Watching him drive that corolla was soothing

This is freaking awesome😃

What’s all the cvt talk when this is available with a 6 speed manual, learn to drive a car people

I like that Raiti will always zonk fake vents

Joe, thanks for always giving us info like the corollas been around since 66. You are the best car reviewer in the world.

26k for manual?? Umm Im getting 2020 civic SI.

Looks fire 🔥

We didn't get the 2021 Toyota Corolla Apex in Canada so I got myself the Toyota Corolla 2021 Hatchback Special Edition I'm Love😍👏

After being teased w/the the GR Yaris the U.S. is tragically denied .. the Apex Corolla doesn’t cut it 🤣🤣

Looks nice but underpowered. My money would be on the upcoming Elantra N-Line.

169hp and a CVT? No, thanks. You can do better Toyota.

Got it the other day with the cement color and I’m loving it😍

"Once you're done playing with your balls." hahaha... gives a new meaning to "business time behind the wheel."

For 29 grand there’s quite a few cars you can buy that are a lot nicer looking and a bit faster so I don’t know what Toyota is doing here..

169 HP?? That's it? I was expecting more.

Dam Joe that corolla sounds real good looks like a fun car my daily is a 2015 honda civic si sedan with some nice tasteful mods.

We don't like it for performance we like the design of the car.

They hollowed out the plastic piece in the steering wheel, finally!!!

I’d rather get a used wrx

Salesman: Why do you have a box of twinkies with u? Me: Oh Im just gonna pick the car that fits the most twinkies :)

I just bought a brand new 2021 Toyota Corolla for my job! My Chevy 07 SS hhr will eat this Apex for lunch! It’s 260 factory hp!

What happened to Big Guns Mcgee?

Ppl here bashing abt price hp.go buy ur german endless money pits.that lose its value like a water fall.i take toyotas toyot lexus.all day 365 a year for life..

CIVIC YOUR TURN...boiii You need to.come out something agressive. The Corolla call you out😂😂

It's a beautiful car. Nice to see Toyota bring back the iconic Apex badge. Hope to see more sports cars from Toyota with that badge.
