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...!!! 🙂

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 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.

Just know the spring rate is 50% stiffer in the front and 33% stiffer in the rear, with bigger swaybars too. Fun for autox, but might be a little rough for the street. Nice wheels and its cool that it comes with summer performance tires. Definitely cool that they offer the rev-matching manual, which is something they don't offer on the SE Nightshade edition. Funny thing though is how much heavier small cars have gotten, as its over 3K lbs, when back in the day you could get a 2000 Ford Focus at 2.5K lbs, or the SVT at 2.75K lbs which is if anything a tiny bit bigger I think, but they didn't have ten airbags like this does which is way safer.

@@BoopSnoot We have to wait a week for his uncensored driving comments. I don't think it would be that harsher of a fide, similar to a TRD Camry compared to the SE/XSE Camry. With the Apex, you get the suspension upgrades and a nice cat back exhaust factory. There are after market suspension mods available, including the RSR lowered coil springs, or their almost $2K spring and coilover kit which looks great, and is fine tunable. I would go with the Bilstein Pro-Kit with the moderate lowered Eibach coil springs. More set it and forget it, such I am not a racer/tuner.

Agreed. Power would be fine for me, but I would get the TRD air filter element and maybe exhaust similar to this Apex if I got an SE/XSE. I sm not sure how much more power other than a cold air intake and exhaust, or recalibrated tuning you can get, and if someone will come out with a turbo or supercharger kit, other than a potential TRD or GR version. But I bet if anything, you would have to look for upcoming aftermarket to do that. I doubt Toyota would do that for reliability and liability fir their regular production SE/XSE and Apex models. The interior is actually light grey, not white, but there is an available black and darker grey available, but not sure if you have a choice for the Apex.

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.

*cough* Isn't the TRD Camry set up similar to this Apex Corolla? With the V6 in the entry level SE Sport trim?
@2W3X4YZ53 жыл бұрын
@Johnson Jacob _COUGH_ (Manual Transmission) TRD is a tuner division, and they charge for TRD products (in their minds) accordingly. I like the TRD Camry and Avalon, but they look like regular cars with a bunch of stuff attached. The Apex is understated, and that’s why I like it.
@johnsonjacob35253 жыл бұрын
@@2W3X4YZ5 the Camry does have similar modifications in addition to the body kit and wheels. Brakes shocks, coil springs, structural braces added. The rear seat does not fold down because of that. Joe has a video for both the Camry and Avalon TRD. They just don't do much engine mods for reliability, and having to address durability issues with turbos and what not if people abuse them and make warranty claims. They have aftermarket fir that, but if you have problems, you're one your own, just like lifting the trucks beyond factory specs or altering suspension geometry and something breaks.

@@JecuskyGarrett actually, the B46 have timing chain issues because its on a heavy BMW body, but since Toyota where aware of the B58 issues before putting it on the Supra, to get the B46 meet the reliability standards it might granade 6 engines , and also modify the ports in order to have 4 instead of 2, its not much that Toyota has to do in order to increase the endurace of the engine to make this Corolla fall into the category of the SRT4, only more reliable and easier to work to get 300 horspower by ecu tune alone, and also is the same engine the has model 2.0 Supra has.

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.
