Thanks for watching! I said “simulated” 1st gear for CVT, that’s my bad...i meant it’s a fixed first gear. I also said it doesn’t have remote start, but it has “Remote connect” where you can start it with the app, smart watch, etc...but it’s only for a 6 month trial then you have to pay $8/month or $80/year if you want to keep it. What do you think of the Corolla Hatch and would you take this over the C-HR I reviewed recently? Previously I told you all I was planning to do a comparison with the Civic Hatch, but I didn’t get time to get them together. I might be able to do a review of the Civic Hatch soon and put something together! Thanks again!

I have had mine for 3 days and I love it. 6 speed manual is the way to go!

Never thought I'd say this but that Corolla is sexy

I just bought a 2020 smoked paprika color . Dealer had 3 the same color one being the se that I bought and the other two xse . We bought it solely for our 40 mile commute to work each day because wife and I ride together most days . Dealer made us a great deal ! Sticker was 23,640 and he came off 3,200 dollars . Descent car for what it is and getting around 43 -46 mpg with nice amenities. Happy with the car so far . It is the cut btw

I like Toyota's bold move with the design of this car. If I were in the market for a hatchback, this would most definitely make my list. Not really sure how I feel about the partial gear/cvt auto trans, but I would be willing to give it a shot none the less.

Great Review! I put red reflectors lengthwise in the fake exhaust outlet. First I bought inexpensive rectangular reflectors, cut them lengthwise with a box cutter, then stuck them inside the chrome outlets. They look great and factory perfect on my 6- Speed Black Hatchback XSE.

Thank you for the cup holders!! Many of these reviewers do not bring cups. Here in Texas we need to fit 2 Whataburger 44oz. or 2 large Yeti.

I’ve always loved this car and really want to buy it.

Hey Nolan! Glad you got your hands on a Corolla hatch....and a stick shift to boot! 🙌 I love the styling. Definitely better then the Civic hatchback. I like the two-toned interior as well. Glad to see Toyota go with all the high quality interior trim....something the Corolla needed. Also like the full LED’s and the standard safety tech. The only thing missing for me is a sun roof. WTH was Toyota thinking omitting that option? 🤦‍♂️ Between the two trims, ya gotta go with the XRS with the 6-speed! Great video review man!

Excellent detailed review as usual 👍🏻 looking forward to many more reviews from you Merrill

There is a remote start using the key fob. Do the following: Press lock 2 times then the 3rd time hold it. Voila! You have remote start. The only downside is that when you go to open your door, the car will shut off.

There is actually remote start via Amazon Alexa i’m pretty sure. It’s on the new RAV 4 and they said it was on all their newer models.

Great review Nolan and beautiful car. I hope to get a CH-R soon for easier entry and exit. The new Corolla comes to the UK in February/March.

I looked at a lot of hatches... Veloster, Elantra GT, Mazda 3, Civic... at the end of the day, after talking myself down off the cliff with some of the HOT'er variants... I went with the Corolla SE CVT Hatch. There were some trade-offs to be sure, power and storage space being the main ones... but there were some serious pro's. Even in the base SE I got a LOT of features that I could only acquire in higher trim levels with the other brands... if there was a "main theme", I'd say I got a LOT of value and reliability for the money. Particularly because Toyota was offering some aggressive deals to clear out the '19 models. But... the real kicker was MPG... I drive 95+ miles per day on my commute, 99% highway, and I've got to tell you... locking in the adaptive cruise, I'm actually averaging 44/45 mpg on my highway commute. ZERO buyers remorse here. I think the Civic was probably the closest competitor... but it had a few subjective deal breakers for me... I just couldn't get past the slightly more 'juvenile", some would say more "aggressive" styling. I also could not get past how low you sit in the Civic... it just did not feel as natural or easy to get in and out of. Like I said, subjective, but that was my take.

Test drove a 6MT while shopping a few weeks ago, it was okay. Fun to drive despite being down on power. But it seriously lacks interior space compared to other hatchbacks. I ended up getting an Elantra GT N-Line

I love the color 😊 Great thorough review Nolan!!!

I'm digging this Corolla hatchback. I might just trade in my 17 Corolla LE sedan. The 2020 Corolla hatchback now supports both CarPlay, and Android Auto.

I have this car with a CVT and black interior. That white looks like it would get dirty quick. I agree with the space issue. There is not a whole lot of it. About all you will get is two carry ons in the back hatch. And that’s about it. I guess you could do 3 carry laying on their side. Not a huge fan of the piano black trim. Got this car over the civic hatch cause I didn’t like the console and the lack of a volume knob on the Honda. Really really love this car. Also you mentioned “the new two liter engine” well that two liter engine in my car needed to be completely replaced.

Yea it needs a sunroof ... I was comparing my 17 Acura ILX to maybe trade in for the Corolla XSE hatchback but I definitely need a sunroof ...

Beautiful car, and beautiful color

I bought this car in XSE trim and yeah, it definitely needs a sunroof if only for that tilt ventilation. Great car and In fact I traded a 10th gen touring civic for it. It’s a much better built car inside and out, and better quality over that civic

There IS a remote start! It's good for warming up remotely, but it'll turn off when you open it--good for kids messing around!

Hi Nolan! Great review of this car! This car is AWESOME and will kick CH-R in the hiney! Just my opinion! Hope you are having an awesome week my friend! :-)

Yeah a sunroof would be nice

Thanks for the test drive! :) The car is actually amazing, not "not too bad". :) I also would prefer this car to CH-R. Corolla seems to be more practical.

Really great overview 👍

Needs a sunroof and garage controls with that said pretty good car

Scotty Kilmer would be proud

I thought the CVT has an actual first gear rather than virtual.

Nice hatch but no available sun roof?! Deal breaker for me, i’d even pay extra but it is not even available!

Good review! That poor clutch though LOL! One comment, you said that the CVT has a simulated first gear, but it's an actual traditional first gear before kicking over to the CVT.

I like this car but I have a few gripes. I really hate the piano black stuff in the interior, that stuff is gonna get scratched to hell in a few years. Not super in love with the placement of the screen, and the back seat room is really terrible. The storage room in the hatch itself is quite small too. Nice exterior design tho, love that. I do like that it has a naturally aspirated engine too, and I hear the manual is quite good. I also hear conflicting reports about the noise level on the interiors. I am pretty shocked at how loud it is inside the vehicle in your video.

I don't own one of these, but I am looking to buy one... but I saw a video earlier and they said if you hit the lock button twice and hold... it remote starts the car.

My SE came stock with 18in alloy wheels.

There is a remote start.... using a key fob too

I’m very upset that there is no hybrid in us.

I feel like trading in my '17 Corolla SE sedan for this hatch. The road noise sucks though. As soon as the tires wear out I'm going for a slightly bigger tire that will fit with the 18" rims.

Any word on when Toyota will have Android Auto? And also can you get it on an existing system later on as an update?

why do you need paddle shifters on a CVT?

TOYOTA IS THE BEST

I like it, even though I drive an A250 4Matic Benz Sport 2l Turbo, 4wheel drive.

When are we gonna get the 2019 Nissan Altima review?

I have the Toyota Corolla 2019 SXe and I love it it is Flame Blue. The only thing I wish I could get is a automatic Hatchback truck opener Can you help?

But is it "A cut above" it's class?

Buaracın bagajı kaç litre Şimdiden teşekkürler

That infotainment tablet is tragic.

does the odd clutch lead to frequent stalling?

Fake exhaust tips is a NO for me! Guess I'm going with the Honda Civic Hatchback.

Ain't worth 25k but still sexy design

Put a turbo on it and pump up the HP to at least 250. Then it will be worth 25 grand.

but the SE does have heated seats..

A person can probably sleep in the back with seats folded flat like that

Blank buttons makes me fill incomplete.

Just in case if no one brought this out yet, there is a remote start using the Toyota remote connect app. :)

Ah shit i'm 6 feet tall. that will be a tight fit.

Honestly this car feels like toyota made it to be tinkered with. Good thing I avoid warranties.

This car is so noisy, it sounds like it comes with a built in tornado. Noisy big time.

No remote start shows Toyota is smart because remote start can easily be stolen

Cvt

CVT transmission SUCK! Get the manual
