i just got myself a 2020 nissan versa sv. i'm a toyota person but i def dropped the gun too fast at the lot and it’s what i ended up leaving the lot with, LOL but I am grateful. This car ended up being so perfect for me. All glory to god! i have videos of my car on my channel too, videos about the process of getting my car, decorating my car etc!

For anyone who wants a good cheap but ultra-reliable car = The Corolla is an excellent choice, probably the best out there. But the basic CVT in the 'L' and 'LE' is terrible compared to the CVT that has a launch-gear in the upper 'SE' and 'XSE' trim. The good news is that for 2023 the 'LE' will be getting the better CVT as well as the more powerful engine from the SE, but the price of the LE won't be rising all that much, so that's the best car to wait for = the 2023 Corolla LE.

I have this car in black... i like it to some degree.... just got it a couple months ago. Love the fact that it actually kinda feels like an oversized go kart as far as how it corners and drives in manual shift instead of auto... one thing i do seem off though is the MPG...... it seems like i get only 24 hwy and 17 to 18 city instead of the 31 to 38 as its supposed to be advertised???? Im curious to know if there is some mode to put it in to get maximum fuel capacity or if maybe perhaps its truly not what as advertised to be which was part of my actual buying point besides the looks to it as well.... love the agressive look on it... NOT sure about the actual MPG... i get more like 21 avg not around 33 or 34 as i was potentially expecting to get. Any advice would be good or if anyone else has experienced this as well would be great! Thank you fir the video. Well done.

A CVT is not sporty in any car. Thanks for the honest review. Better choices for $29600.

It's a really hard sell next to a cheaper and better in every measurable way Civic Si honestly.. Toyota could've delivered here, and they chose not to.

@@lennygarrison6836 fuel economy isn’t great in this car. I have an Apex with the 6 speed manual and it struggles to stay above 30mpg. I drive a lot in stop and go traffic and my average since owning the car for 4 months using it as a daily driver my average is 28.8 mph. Once I got 41.5 mpg driving on the freeway on my way home with no traffic. I had an R56 mini copper base also with a 6speed manual and it averaged 31mpg over 5 years of driving the exact same route every day. I bought the Apex because it was unique they only made around 120 cars with the manual and it looks fantastic in the cement gray with he black and bronze accents. Plus it was a bit cheaper than going with a civic Si which was the only other car I was considering.

This review can also be carried over into the 2023 model as well. Only thing is now, Corolla has wireless android auto and wireless Apple CarPlay. Slight modifications to exterior design with larger rear diffuser, full LED exterior lighting, with smoked out LED taillights. I should say this is more for the SE and XSE model.

It honestly doesn’t sound like a cvt. It sounds good. We had a 2017 50th anniversary edition and we got rid of it this year. We hated the drone sound.

Think the Kia and Hyundai is better bang for the buck? The Apex seems kinda over priced but the se hatchback nightshade is the way to go.
