The Corolla isn't the quickest or best handling compact sedan and last year it wasn't one of the best values either but for 2017 Toyota pulled a surprise out of their hat. By making their CVT and their Safety Sense active safety system standard on ALL models of the Corolla it has gone from middling in terms of value to a whopping 10% less expensive than comparably equipped competitors.
For $18,500 you can get a Corolla S with an automatic transmission, touchscreen infotainment, radar adaptive cruise control, pre-collision auto braking with pedestrian detection, lane keeping assistance and LED headlamps. Driving dynamics still lag behind Honda, Ford and Mazda but nobody else has priced their compact sedan this aggressively..

Picked up a Corolla LE a few weeks ago, and I love it. So quiet, rides well, lots of interesting features. I think the thing a lot of folks don't understand (and you commented on) is that driven in a commuter fashion, the car has more than enough power, and handles just fine. Yes, if you enjoy spirited driving, this is not the car for you. But for most of us, it is a great value.

@MotoBoboJones 7 лет назад

no one on RU-vid or TV compares to you. one of the best content makers around.

@eclectic_musafir 7 лет назад

Thanks for the review, Alex. I purchased a 2017 Corolla SE last week, and traded my 6-speed manual 2008 MINI Clubman for it. They sold me on the safety features, and along with the interior, they're excellent. I this is my first CVT, and it's not bad - considering typical flat, straight Florida byways. The reliability of the Corolla, family-friendly features, and overall value made all of the difference.

@teddypabian7858 Год назад

how has it held up?

@zacharyfernandez 7 лет назад

people always said Toyotas are boring so Toyota went to the drawing board and made a bunch of their models as polarizing as possible as if saying "IS THAT INTERESTING ENOUGH FOR YOU!?"

@shinrips 6 лет назад

Picked up my '17 Corolla SE 3 weeks ago. Love it!!!! Great for driving to work. It will become my daughter's car in about 9 mos. I might get the Corolla Hatch as my everyday car or I might go for the CH-R. Love the reliability and the new look.

@fatimah3463 3 года назад

How much does it take to fill? And hiw much is your gas price

@Mentalcase1968 7 лет назад

I own this car she is a very fast and quite on the road and has power and the seats are very comfy... I bought the fully loaded XSE and I love the fact that she gets really good on gas. I used to have a 2016 Kia Forte EXGDI and I was not happy with it and how it handled.. I buy Toyota hands down.

@mountainhobo 7 лет назад

Active safety technology was expensive to develop, but once developed it is cheap to make, so I fully expect almost all cars in the future to offer it as standard, perhaps except German cars where it will be a $10K option. :)

@fakedazzleful 7 лет назад

Lol so true about the German part

@MrMyyBin 6 лет назад

Alex, I have to say - you are the best car reviewer on RU-vid. I really appreciate the comparison part, since that's pretty much what I want to know. You are saving me hours and hours of watching reviews of every single entry, and here's a like for that!

@SonOfTamriel 7 лет назад

I love your intro music, takes me back to the 80s watching stuff on PBS lol. Never change Alex!

@76nhl 7 лет назад

I love the 2017 corolla front end. I have a 2010 Corolla and has been sooooo reliable. It now has 185,000 miles. They are bullet proof. Im a lifetime Toyota buyer.

@stephenmaturin2 7 лет назад

only you alex, you are the only reviewer who I would trust to make a 17 hour video (well not quite) of a corolla...enjoyable and interesting.

@EdwardYourHondaManTomilloso 7 лет назад

I love your reviews! Super thorough and I like the navigation tabs on the right. As for the Corolla, that's amazing they're including the safety package standard

@philpin9230 7 лет назад

Very affordable for a highly reliable car. Can't go wrong with Hondas and Toyotas

@joeb2588 7 лет назад

You said it best in one sentence.

@liquidshadow95 7 лет назад

Thanks for always putting out such quality videos, Alex.

@VampEngr 5 лет назад

I know everyone knows this but Toyota is known for reliability and not entertainment. Some of you are expecting too much.

@robertb1508 2 года назад

Hello Alex. When I wanted to know more about my purchase of a 2019 Corolla, I knew where to find you on RU-vid. Thanks for always giving your viewers an insight that is above your friends on other channels. You're the best at what you do! 🙂

@TheLanard 6 лет назад

I rented one last month. It was a good riding car. Very comfy for a smaller car. Not luxurious in the least, but it was enough for A-B. I'd get one for commuting.

@geraldeuz6763 7 лет назад

Alex, great vids as always. Would you consider rating the sound systems in the vehicles you review? Keep up the outstanding work.

@ryank2434 3 года назад

This is a great review. Just bought one used.

@davinp 6 лет назад

The Civic is a new designed as it was redesigned in 2016. The Corolla was last redesigned in 2014. Of those 5 cars, Corolla is the most reliable not that the Civic isn't reliable. That said, if you need basic, safe & reliable transporation, the Corolla is the best value.

@baldheadlogic 7 лет назад

Great Review Alex. I am surprised Toyota has not offered an uplevel engine option on at least the "sporty SE & XSE trims...The active safety is impressive at this price point however.. the only two things I see missing are blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert.

@rbielarski 7 лет назад

You are without a doubt my favorite auto review tester, always well done. Thanks Alex!

@pigabo 7 лет назад

Great review and very informative comparisons with other competitors in the same segment.

@djclown7pb 7 лет назад

It's about time they stepped up the safety game!

@carlosascencio9560 7 лет назад

Did Toyota felt the pressure from Hyundai regarding features in the base model? I think it did!!!.

@Lucky8s 7 лет назад

With all those Hyundai commercials comparing base models of the Civic and Corolla with the new Elantra, I can see why they would do so.

@manualflight 7 лет назад

Too bad Mazda3 and Jetta all have a lot of the features included in the base model

@InvestBetter. 7 лет назад

This version of the Corolla has always had a ton of features for the money.

@unavicky 7 лет назад

Watching auto reviews, US and Int'l chanels, Alex, you are one of the best. Good job.

@Tully3674 7 лет назад

What happened to the exclusive trunk comfort index? Age catching up with Alex? ;) Also, has the CVT improved or does it still have the resistant whine?

@garystar4475 7 лет назад

I am worried about the new front grill getting hit from cars backing into it when they park as it sticks out...

@musamusa2961 2 года назад

Thank God I will buy one for myself

@InvestBetter. 7 лет назад

King Corolla. King of the jungle! The new grille is pretty jacked up. Foreign markets get a beautifully done chrome grille. Americans can eat cake, they'll still buy it! It is roomy, a good design, and not overpriced. Panoramic sunroof, loaded, for under $23k?

@joeb2588 7 лет назад

Great review! Great car. I'd like one in a manual. Also love that ethereal intro tune!

@TheLanard 6 лет назад

I'd get one because it because I occasionally like to play CD's, and most cars today no longer have them. And the engine is naturally-aspirated.

@drummergeorge9642 4 года назад

@vishalb84 7 лет назад

Thank you alex for once more an amazing review ! Can you talk more about how Safety Sense works how to activate lane keep and how well it works compared to other vehicles?

@pranayvekaria9887 7 лет назад

@py1211 7 лет назад

My top picks of 2017 compact sedans are (4)Forte, (3)Civic, (2)Cruze, and (1)Impreza. Can't wait to watch your reviews on (2) and (1) Alex.

@davidlyday7373 7 лет назад

I absolutely agree I can't wait to see the next gen Impreza on the Subaru Global platform

@smonkey001 7 лет назад

That LE trim. Amazing value! Well done.

The Corolla struggles to climb the hills in the San Bernardino mountains

@kevinabraham2029 7 лет назад

Excellent video Alex- the comparison section was comprehensive and very relevant. I was initially leading towards the Corolla as the best compact car because of its safety features, but I agree with you on choosing the Civic. The Civic just has a better foundation and it actually communicates with its driver.

@TodayWithDustin 7 лет назад

It looks like a Prius in the front. Great job Alex.

@ohcanadaeh 7 лет назад

Does the full plastic front end of the car makes it prone to damage in collision even when it is minor ?

@Lucky8s 7 лет назад

Probably not at crawl speeds, but even if you happen to damage the front, it should be a very cheap fix because it's plastic.

@Peizxcv 7 лет назад

Hyundai always inflate MPG figure. They were fined but they still do it, just not as much as 7 MPG inflation like they used to.

@MrGregcain 7 лет назад

Always great reviews..thanks Alex

@Michael-jm5ix 7 лет назад

Hello Alex, could you start to include a segments on the autonomous features of the car and how well they work? I would like to know which cars offer the best adaptive cruise control and has the most reliable lane departure assist system.

@shinrips 4 года назад

Honda is a motor company. Toyota is a car company. Honda's motor is way better in so many ways. But, reliability and safety go for the Toyota.

@HeyJhaay 7 лет назад

The front actually looks nice the more you look at it.

@honestycounts9352 7 лет назад

Want to know a way to make that front grill look a ton better? See that black 'BAR' that runs from side-to-side, under the Toyota emblem? Paint that the same color as the rest of the car, and voila, you've just made that gaping front end look less 'Gaping'. Looks a lot better.

@chank2626 5 лет назад

@DrClaw77 7 лет назад

What did they do to the front end of this car? The Corolla was one of the few Toyota cars left that didn't look a mess...

@1122scape 7 лет назад

Don't change your intro melody Alex. It's cool. The babies that are nagging you incessantly about it and throwing tantrums (indirectly suggesting that they might unsubscribe) just need to get things their way. Let them fulfill their threat and lose out on the best automobile reviewer on the tube.

@loomingeverdrums 7 лет назад

@dwightadas5230 7 лет назад

@manmeetdce 7 лет назад

Panaromic sunroof in Corolla XSE? Is that a mistake Alex? Cannot find any such thing on toyota website.

@namduong7509 7 лет назад

Did they fix the center console lid that has slams shut and has no... springs?

@Maheenstar1 7 лет назад

I don't get how the Honda Civic is smaller than the Corolla

@Fadic4 7 лет назад

Maheenstar1 I think it's shorter but the Civic is wider.

@zhaoguanyugary 7 лет назад

I think civic is a lot more attractive

@Nestle245 7 лет назад

I agree the Civic seems longer if you see it on the road but probably cause it's more curvaceous. I sat inside the corolla before the in the backseat and I had alot of room for a tall person, that car has mid sized level interior space.

@ProBenja5 7 лет назад

How tall are you though? I have sat on the backseat and my head was brushing the roof and I'm just over 6 ft tall. My mom's Versa Note has more backseat room than the Corolla for example.

@elai3147 7 лет назад

Benjamín Valenzuela the versa note is well know for having one of the biggest back seats, it has more leg room than most compacts and mid size cars, only thing versa note lacks is width

@MyMostBeautifuCinema 7 лет назад

No glove compartment test for tablet fitting? Or maybe it was covered on the previous model and is the same for this year...

I suffer from migraine.. led lights create big problems for me. is there an alternative light for newer vehicles for people like me? it's not just the brightness of the led lights it's the sharp bright white color that sets off my worst vertigo migraines. any alternatives?

@dennisthemenace8825 3 года назад

Lowering the lights.

@nightdonutstudio 7 лет назад

Is that real. based on spec this car has 41 inch rear legroom. most midsize car has 39 rear legroom. That is crazy. Hope I read the correct spec.

@michaelhorgan9525 6 лет назад

I was in a Lyft that was a current generation Corolla and it does have a roomy back seat. I sat behind the driver and I had plenty of legroom.

@TuxedoMonkey 7 лет назад

great video (again)

@dennisscipio 7 лет назад

I prefer the face on the L,LE variants of the facelifted 2017 corolla, it looks more attractive than the S model in my opinion.Toyota's recent Facelifts and redesigns are more eyecatching and I think that was they were trying to do.

@spiritvarun 7 лет назад

Alex, any chance you would get to review new Chrysler Pacifica, Thanks,

@unnamedny 7 лет назад

About safety systems. Didn't all main car manufacturers agreed to have ACC, lane watch, auto breaking to be standard in few years in all of their cars? No surprise they make them standard. It's nice to see some many nice features at lowest trim, I guess toyota feel the heat of new civic.

@geocarrion9481 7 лет назад

@XXtheJUMPoffXX 7 лет назад

The Corolla needs a reboot ASAP

@alansmilealot 7 лет назад

XXtheJUMPoffXX I agree, need more engine choices, I hate Toyota and Lexus grills of today.i really wish they offered performance in the corolla line ups and maybe a hatch version as well.

@m.stewart7208 7 лет назад

Where's the Elantra on the size scale? Also noticed that there's (no mention) of the lack of the helper handle on the inside of the trunk. Such an easy fix, come on, Toyota.

I would still have to get another sport model they are just a little bit nicer...

@A_guan 7 лет назад

Why didn't u film the interior of the XSE

@djkenny1202 6 лет назад

Was the 16 THAT different than the 17?

@phuot1 7 лет назад

Excellent review again, especialy with the new way you compare the car. The Corolla is a very good buy if you don't like driving. I find the new front end ugly! They are very reliable because they are using the same engine since over a decade. I'm sure it as an impact on the price. The tooling is paid since many years.

@davids1816 7 лет назад

Did they do anything about the dreadful crash test results? It's a nice car for young people except for that, and they definitely are less expensive than a lot of the competition is.

@rusack7174 7 лет назад

As with many such things, I will have to see it in the flesh and in a variety of colors and trims before passing final judgement. But I am not a fan of the Baleen whale grill.

@matthewyim1736 7 лет назад

Alex, I'm very surprised that Toyota and Lexus is still not offering CarPlay or Android Auto in their vehicles...

@Lucky8s 7 лет назад

They choose not to offer it in favor of SmartDeviceLink.

@fakedazzleful 7 лет назад

Toyota, Ford and another car company invest alot of money on their own infotainment so android auto or carplay wont be available on any Toyota or Ford cars

@Lucky8s 7 лет назад

Fequi Simon True for Toyotas, not for Fords. All 2017 model year vehicles with Sync 3 will offer iOS and Android integration with the on-board infotainment system.

@72sohaney 6 лет назад

I just rented a '17 Corolla for a couple of days for a trip. I would have to strongly disagree with your "A" rating for cabin noise. I think I had a less harsh experience in my 1990 Plymouth Horizon. I realize you use a comparative rating system (vs. other sub-compact cars in this class), but I was really surprised how much NVH there was.

@shanesweeney678 7 лет назад

extreme excessive road noise. an audio shop just told me they have had to install dynamat in 2 new corollas because of excessive road noise. I had to dampen my 2017 corolla with dynamat too.

@josephmbogo9625 6 лет назад

Hey man, where did u dampen urs? Am tired of the road noise too. Just want to dynamat mine really bad

@mozillagenesis 7 лет назад

The intro section is oh, 3 seconds as compared to a 23 MINUTE video but hey... that's what I'm going to complain and moan about because well, I'm a RU-vidr in the comment section. Yep.

@watershed44 7 лет назад

Oh, and the best form of "active safety" is a good, defensive, driver. That costs 0$.

@joeb2588 6 лет назад

What a nice car!

@Trades46 7 лет назад

The Corolla powertrains needs work. Now the Civic, Elantra and Sentra now has much stronger & even more efficient turbo powertrains, this 1.8 liter NA engine feels ancient in comparison. The car otherwise is fine, even if I'm not a fan of the new front fascia.
