I've been waiting for the all-wheel-drive I guess it's not coming.

That would add at least 5k to the price and everyone would buy a RAV4 or the competition instead of it. Be realistic, Kirk.

@@braetonwilson4296 well said

The CH-R is indeed all compromised, and shows its Scion origins with the overly quirky design. Toyota really needs to offer it with a better engine, such as a 2.0T, and add AWD, to get it to make some sense in my mind. As it is, there is just some weird style, and little substance.

HRV severely underpowered? Not true at all in the case of the 1.5 turbo HRV. It's a quick car.

@@jdmguy44 Yes but then you have to deal with oil dilution and the fact that turbocharged engines don't last as long as naturally aspirated.

@@braetonwilson4296 the hrv has a 1.5t in North America?

3 Pedals no

You can see he editorializes- injects his opinions which are subjective. He doesn’t like Toyota’s.

That can be said with any car

It would also be much more expensive. Given that this is a Corolla on stilts, that’d be missing the point.

@@EclipseCircle def more for inter city driving

Would defeat the purpose of the hierarchy in the line up. Put this at 200 hp and everything else above it has to increase in power. Also the general buyer wouldn't be revving it to use all 200+ hp so that's why Toyota didn't do it. What it needs is the Corollas 2.0. since the CHR and Lexus UX use this same platform and underpinnings

EclipseCircle what it really needs is the 2.0l 4 cylinder and first gear enable CVT from my Corolla SE. That would give it more pep.

I actually like mine. Didn’t need fast or large. I have 2 other cars for that. This does great in traffic going to the grocery or drug store less than 5 miles away in the city. I knew what I was getting after driving many cars. Toyota is dependable and the dealer is close and the discount was good. But I bought the lower end model and not this expensive trim.

What a ras!!

That C-Pillar is so big and the rear window is so tiny

No HS or college kid is buying this 🤣🤣

Me too, man. But remember, the tC used to live in the same platform as the Camry, and right now the Camry is so long that the tC would look very weird with two doors... Nonetheless, it really was great.

@@FidelF Not really, the TC at least the last generation used the Corolla platform with Camry drivetrain. So if they still had it around itd ride on the new TNGA-C(compact) platform with the camry 200hp engine, would be cool.

@@jimmypena2442 interesting. The tC is so heavy for a 2-Door that I thought it was completely on a Camry platform. Still a fun car, though. And a zippy one as well

Fidel Ferrer They’re about 3000lbs, the Civic si around my the age of my TC(2014) is about the same but the newer ones are about 2700lbs. Not light but not bad.

@@jimmypena2442 It doesnt look like a big difference, but the Si is 10% lighter than the tC... That's a significant amount. And like I said, for a 2-Door 3k pounds is a lot.

Wtong!! He gave the Rav4 Prime an excellent review. He actually ended up purchasing one.

Same Delgado same

It's not made for small children. Buy a Rav

You are correct, in this video the C-HR is literally screaming. Adding a Hybrid drivetrain would quiet it down.

Exactly.

Or grown ones who have their own cars.

@@moeanthony9308 nah it's not practical enough for that

@@sinisterwraith7050 You are right. Smart car is the way to go. Very Brilliant Sinister brilliant

@@moeanthony9308 can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not

@@sinisterwraith7050 The truth is brah. To each is own, it's adequate for the needs of the buyer

He hates all toyotas. Look at the reviews in the past and he nags over everything.

This guy will pick on the most trivial things because of his obvious dislike for Toyota and Lexus which dominates sales.Notice how he never complains about the other brands.there is nothing wrong with the 2.0 engine whatsoever and his facial expression is in rather poor taste.wonder what vehicle he drives because he has a very snobbish attitude...

@@kovilanmoodley7464 I think he has a Porsche Cayman.....so yeah lol

I almost bought one despite this review. People like them. Young & old and single or married. Style may be the reason but I liked it!

Kovilan Moodley has a Porsche if you watch this channel. He traded that recently. He has a Tesla and he bought his partner a Subaru Forester

I think it’s a small vehicle for people like me who need a small car. I have a large truck and large Infiniti suv - I need a run about that’s great on gas and getting a few groceries. This does the trick

Not at all cramped if you are a normal sized individual. Unfortunately, as many reports show, members of today's society are getting more and more obese and this causes problems not only in car accommodation but also air and coach travel. It's not the car manufacturers fault if someone can't fit inside properly.

I'd rather get the RAV4 XLE Premium

There has been recalls due to the cylinder deactivation technology in the Mazda engine. That worries me.

@@braetonwilson4296 Just get the lower trims without cylinder deactivation..they are solid

@@NaijaBull better yet, skip the first year and late the bugs escape.

Good that you found the cx-30 more suitable for you but it just depends on needs and the people’s styling preferences...for example, I find the plastics better than handle since they clean easily and can take some abuse meanwhile if all of your car is wrapped in leather you will worry to much about them getting damaged or torn; plus I think the CH-R looks more juvenile and the Cx-30 more like (I am a family guy)

The cx-30 looks uglier than Prius

Exaggerated. Doesn't happen. Put a micro cloth in side pocket. Wipe voila. Nonsense. Carrying on like it's China tea cups. Drive the car for Pete's sake

I think due to the virus, he's had to change the way he edits for the time being. His team of people can't get together.

Dan Bittner Thanks for the feedback! We are just trying something new but we’ll continue to make tweaks!

Redline Reviews absolutely I totally understand. I’m going to watch regardless bc I love the videos this channel produces. Just wanted to leave some feedback. Keep up the great work!!

When you said, “like most other Toyota’s,” did you mean all their interiors feel cheap ?

@@joshua9073 no that's why he said 'most' and not 'all'.

Where did you hear about the C-HR being discontinued? The Corolla Cross is slotting between the C-HR and the RAV4.

Take a shot every time he says the word "standard" in any of his videos and youre going to have a bad time real quick.

which you should check out the competition

sethy1 money doesn’t grow on trees...

sethy1 not everyone knows how to drive a manual

Hope you’ll get the 2.0 not the turbo, or you’ll have problems.

@@tails300 OT that wonky infotainment system.

Good thing you're not buying the base Civic LX trim because that has a very old small outdated infotainment screen that is not touchscreen and does not have apple carplay or android auto. That's one advantage of the 2021 Corolla, even the base L trim has touchscreen with apple carplay and android auto.

Not available in NA. Go to Europe car reviews

@Richard Favreau grind her?

@@moeanthony9308 Grindr. It's a casual gay hookup app. I use it all the time as does Richard apparently lol. Lots of cuties in there, you should check it out, Moe.

Except he isn’t toned or fit

That's right we do. Jokes on you.

Next time, buy a Subaru Crosstrek.

Naw

It's almost everywhere here in japan too. Problem is they should have upped the power for US market because 'muricans needs to compensate

That is correct.

@Richard Favreau That is correct. Crap load of incentives

@Richard Favreau damn, you seem offended lol.

It is

@Richard Favreau furthermore, the base model is low 20's...this is the highest model, which like with every single car ever, isn't worth the price for the few extras included.

and it sounds horrible 😐

the trailblazer and encore both have 3 cylinder engines and even they are faster than this thing 🤣

People want to sit up high with bigger tires and slightly more clearance, and dont want a bigger car.

Not if you are single driver of a two car household.

Why do you all say it needs interior space when it’s clearly a sub-compact ? Lol that’s like buying a 3 bedroom house and complaining that it doesn’t have more bedrooms. You know what you are getting so why not buy a larger car? The next class up

The Yaris Cross seems better in every way.

That’s not even coming to North America

@@f181234 Why not? Shouldn't Toyota have something to compete with the Venue and those other miniature CUVs? The Yaris Cross can deliver AWD and nearly 60 mpg which sounds pretty appealing to me.

What would you pay for the Corolla?

@@moeanthony9308 I would negotiate hard and buy the Corolla LE for 18k out the door.

@@braetonwilson4296 although not overly high but naw Corolla sits too low. I need ease of getting in and out. I have back pain. Not for me brah.

@@braetonwilson4296 Oh I don't live in the US. No way you getting a Corolla for 18k. No way

@@moeanthony9308 i guess back pain is an adequate reason for you to buy this mobility scooter lmao

Reading this comment gave me a stroke 🥴, but yes I agree.

The C-HR always had diamond patterns on the interior since it was created...

@Richard Favreau one of the best review ever for chr. Never screwed up his face once like Sofyan. Unique and different not the same boring luxary sedans he's accustomed to.

@@moeanthony9308 luxury* youre welcome.

The soul is also GDI only and has a carbon buildup problem (as well as all GDI only engines, except for Mazda).

It needs the direct shift CVT with the first gear too.

@@tails300 yep thankfully Toyota is making those dreams come true. With the all new 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross.

At whose expense?

The 200 horsepower 2.5 naturally aspirated AWD Camry engine and power train would be perfect since it comes from Toyota's corporate parts bin .

Ask the passengers and your backside when you get in.

trippplefive He already drove the Seltos a while back in San Antonio, and he likes it better!

The one in my Corolla SE is pretty good, but it does have the added launch gear.

They CAN be good if they’re well-built and well-tuned. Accelerating uphill with a CVT, for example, is amazing since it’s smooth all the way without ever needing to shift gears. The problem usually occurs when you try to quickly accelerate or decelerate. You feel that so-called “rubberbanding effect” from the CVT having to suddenly change ratios (since it can’t just drop/upshift a gear like regular autos). This combined with poor response to you putting your foot down is what sucks the life out of cars with CVT’s (usually).

Hybrid yuck

A lot of space more. Is toyota able to sell little station wagons in the us? 🇺🇸

Corolla wagon? If you’re in the U.S. you will probably die before they bring the Corolla Touring Sports to us. But if they ever do, I’m buying it immediately.

Evan Danielsson in 🇪🇺 we have this little wagon. In southern europe many customers do still prefer this type of cars (space volume comfort)

Interesting! How so? They look nothing alike.

Safety features and tech from the Venue in which this car does come standard with. ?

IAmJustLordFarhan: The Normal Dude things like forward collision avoidance assist with pedestrian detection, blind spot monitor, and rear cross traffic alert, etc, go check out Hyundai website. The only thing I think venue is missing is that it doesn’t have leather seats as an option, you get half leather half cloth in denim edition.

@@blackwhirlwind1245 Forward Collison warning with Pedestrian Detection and Auto Braking, Lane Departure Warning with Active Steering Assist, Full-Speed Adaptive Cruise Control, etc come standard on the C-HR. It's part of the Toyota Safety Sense package. Upper trims do get Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Hence that the Venue doesn't actually compete with this car. The Kona does.

IAmJustLordFarhan: The Normal Dude yeah, just realized venue also missing adaptive cruise control. But venue does have many safety features, I view adaptive cruise control more as a driver convenience feature and not really a safety feature. Venue only missing a few features like the adaptive cruise control. But keep in mind venue cost much less than CHR. If you compare CHR to Kona, then Kona easily wins by having a turbo Powertrain with 201 HP, 0 to 60 in around 6 to 7 seconds.

@@blackwhirlwind1245 Yea and drive it off the lot don't expect any value in return.

They would if they want a good value with decent practicality, geniunely fun ride and handling balance, edgy styling, competitive technology, and Toyota reliability.

I really love the look of it. But needs more power.

@@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 I feel like most buyers are better off buying a 1-3 year used Toyota over buying the CHR new

@@Lucky8s A guess a used 2019 or 2020 model in a few years also would be a decent choice.

Because American consumers will buy any cuv there manufacturers throw at them. For a cuv this thing is useless

It is a mystery why the hybrid is still not offered in our market.

America has too much or not enough money(?). Lexus 250h has the M20a hybrid.

I dont know. Honda and toyota does not seem to care about quality as much as they used to. Engine and transmission issues in both cars. Hyundai and Kia seem to be getting better while honda and toyota seem to not care like they did back in the 1990s. I have a 2020 Civic. The sheet metal on top of the doors by the roof area is so cheap and thin, IT LEFT DENTS only after a few car washes. Many other people with 2016 to 2020 civics are complaining about this too. My car also had zero rattles the first day I drove it, and now three months later has several rattles. My friend's old 2008 civic has zero rattles for the four years he had it and the fit and finish was better than my car. also been in some newer Toyota cars and they feel cheaper versus the older ones I've been in. are hondas and toyota one of the more reliable new cars you can buy? yes. but are they as good now in comparison to the 1990s? not really.

We read about that recently too after filming this. Very surprised to hear since this car is very mechanically simple compared to other Toyota products.

I work for extended warranty the most cars we get calls on are of course Nissan CVT sometimes on their 3rd replacement. Hyundai/Kia with their engines locking up or a rod knock. We really don't see much Toyota or Honda I think i only seen 2 cvts for Honda over years a couple from Toyota but as far as engine not really.

@@J-W.- Hyundai and Kia are very reliable aside from the Theta 2.4 and Nu 1.8 from the early 2010s, and I think those were more the american assembled models than the korean ones.

@@asdfghjqwertyu1858 i totally disagree with you, modern engine technologies plus severe emissions are killing cars, even the diesels are suffering
