Toyota offer the Corolla in a couple of models that let you choose a manual transmission, IMHO this is the silliest and I can't imagine anyone buying it. When you go to the official Toyota website you see a SE trim Corolla sedan with a manual transmission is priced about $2,000 HIGHER than the SE Corolla hatchback. Admittedly, there is no Apex Edition hatchback (AFAIK), but to me, if you MUST have a Corolla with a 2 liter engine (there are still models with the OLD, REALLY OLD 1.8 liter engine) an SE or XSE hatchback makes a better value proposition. BTW, Really liked the split screen that showed the road you were one while keeping you " in the picture ".

@@MattMaranMotoring Yes the pandemic has disrupted supply. However, these new 2020-2021 Corollas have been extremely strong sellers. Finally, Toyota has hit the winning formula of reliability, sexy looks, and fun to drive all in one sleek package. Kia Forte GT and Civic Si may have more low end torque but they will never be as reliable with their nasty turbos. Turbos just put too much strain on the engine. Plus they have GDI which leads to carbon build up unlike the dual injected Corolla engine. Corolla and RAV4 are our two top sellers in my dealership and so we mark them up because we know they'll still be sold.

This is not an enthusiast's car- and that's ok. This is a Toyota Corolla... except its the SPORTY ONE! Nobody is gonna cross-shop this with a Civic Si. I can say with certainty that this car was NOT designed for enthusiasts, or really people who know anything about cars at all. Example: Stacey just graduated college. She's been driving around in a '99 Nissan Sentra with 115 horsepower since she was in high school. Now, Stacey has her nursing degree and wants a cool car, but she doesn't have CRAZY money to burn on a Porsche, and Toyotas are more reliable anyway, right? So she goes to the dealer, looks for a small car. She doesn't know much about the corolla, other than it's inexpensive, reliable, and made by Toyota so it's automatically better than anything else on the market. But Stacey doesn't want just the REGULAR corolla.. she's a nurse now! So, she treats herself to the sporty one- the Apex Edition. Compared to the '99 sentra it's more comfy, rides better, and is WAY nicer on the inside. It also has nearly 170 horsepower, 54 more than the sentra to be exact. And it looks so badass with its bodykit and blacked out badging. So she leaves the lot happy as a clam, driving the fastest, nicest, newest car she's ever owned. Stacey doesn't really care about pushing the car to its limits. She doesn't care about how high it revs or how many camshafts the engine uses. It's an engine- it moves the car and that's it. This is a badass Toyota Corolla built for people like Stacey. Someone who criticizes it for lacking power or steering feel or WHATEVER is gonna go buy a used Civic Si like everybody else and never look back. This is not the car built for that person and it really shouldn't be viewed as such.
@MattMaranMotoring3 жыл бұрын
Great description and I agree, there will probably be some of those people. But I feel like any good consumer should cross shop and compare models to ensure they get the best car for their needs and wants. Even if they only want a Corolla and like the body kit a little more, a regular Corolla SE still has 95% of the same bold look and styling (plus a better ride) for less money.
@roycezaro19983 жыл бұрын

That’s true, and if I were Stacey I’d still probably look for the Si- except it doesn’t come in an automatic and most people in the US now can’t or won’t drive a stick unless they’re an enthusiast I think. Perhaps that’s why they made so few of these cars with a manual, idk. I still kinda feel like it’s a bit of a pandering to Toyota nerds cause I’d take an Si or a ln ST any day over this haha

If someone REALLY wants this Special edition with a manual - wait till someone gets tired of the ride quality and find it for $10k less in a year or two lol. I kept my eye on this model and kept seeing reviews and looked at the other trim levels... I'm glad I waited and shopped around - with many dealerships giving me 3 day or 1 week test drives. I'm getting a 2020 Camaro SS for $32k out the door lol. I'll keep my daily beater a little bit longer until I pay off my wife's car and then upgrade to something far greater that a lowly, overpriced and overrated Corolla or even a Camry. I mean the Camry is a great car, my dad has the 2019 XLE V6. But its not tuned the way I like - its way too soft and feels like its not giving me all 300hp when I mash the throttle.

Only 120 Toyotas Manual ever built the 2022 Toyota Corolla APEX is a better value car for your money. In Venezuela the cost of one Toyota Corolla APEX Manual is around U$45.000 and it is an easy and fast sale!.

It makes you wonder what the Corrola would have been if they offered the Camry's 2.5, 4 cylinder. At least that has 200+ hp. Tq will still be wanting, but turbo lag will be nonexistent. Albeit turbos are fairly good nowadays that most won't notice. Thats what they should have offered. Honda utilizes the 1.5t in both the Accord and Civic. So Toyota could have followed through and made it so that the Carolla and Camry shared the base Camry engine. Maybe even save some money along the way and throw out the 1.8 and made the 2.0 standard across the board and the 2.5 optional.

I really wish toyota would have put a bit more engine performance into the apex line. It looks sporty, sounds sporty and I imagine it's rides pretty sporty too but in the end it's just a basic corolla engine.

Had this car for a year and yup just like people said, it needs a v6 or even 200 hp like the camry abd this will zoom!

I feel like with the 2.5 they could have positioned this as a Civic Si competitor.

There is a reason why a Kia discount is higher than the Toyota discount. Just sayin'. Which of the cars you'd mentioned will still be on the road after 250K miles?
@MattMaranMotoring3 жыл бұрын
Only time will tell but historically Civic Si has been able to easily get 250k. We’ll see how the turbo versions hold up.

Idk but I put 215k miles on my 15' Kia Forte Koup before I fell asleep and crashed it 😂 obviously I never missed maintenance on it. Oil changes at 3k, the timing chain tensioners at 85k were still good but I changed them anyway. The interior had its rattles but with state of the roads where I live, it's to be expected. Never had a problem with my Kia. Other than the massive depreciation hit right off the showroom floor, the drivetrain was pretty reliable

My CVT transmission has failed in my brand new 2020 toyota Corolla SE with not even twenty thousand kilometres on it it's under warranty but toyota has kept my car for over a month and I still haven't received my car back! If you're looking to buy a new car I would "not" recommend a Toyota with a CVT transmission and I strongly believe that new Toyotas are not as good!

@@alvinsimba734 unfortunately this actually happened to my Toyota I am a big fan of Toyota my old Toyota got over 700,000 km without any issues I'm telling you these new Toyotas are not built the same because why would it break for no reason with such little kilometres. My car is back with a fixed transmission cvt it was free of charge as the car is under warranty but I'm just hoping once it's out of warranty the CVT doesn't give me any more issues as the warrants work cost over $10,000+ to fix and I asked Toyota Canada if they would give me some extra warranty just to reassure this wouldn't happen again exclusively just on the transmission sadly they said no! Also I mentioned I would like a different model vehicle I'm in fear of my CVT suddenly stalling and becoming extremely jerky on the 403 and getting rear-ended by a transport truck or something maybe it was just my car we will see time will tell there's lots of new CVT Toyota Corollas so will see how they hold up overtime on the "CVT" .

@@honda71000 i see you got the SE. The SE has the new engine 2.0 litre and hopefully it lasts long. How much did you get from it? I myself went with tried and true 1.8 Litre the LE model and got 22k Canadian out of the door. I saw a 2014 corolla le cvt with almost 300000km earlier today and as long as maintenance is done you should be ok. Where was your SE manufactured from?
