Everything WRONG with the new Corolla Hybrid! 

The model Corolla you have is for people who need a reliable car that will take them places. You care to much about how things look and sound. If you want a better car with appearance and better quality you shouldn’t have gotten a Corolla. You also need to maintenance your back seats. People who don’t have anyone in the back seats all the time won’t have to deal with dirty seats. This car is perfect for single riders

The Corolla is a great daily driver. I’m actually purchasing one next year. My daughter had a 2009 no issues with over 100k miles $20 would fill it up. If you actually clean the car out that would take care of the dirt. You have a base model the radio/speakers are that of the base model. Outside of the small issues great car will last a long time.

Just reset the infotainment system. Fixed in seconds. Vacuum the back seat. Use a seat belt slug. Buy a spare tire for $100. Ceramic coat has NOTHING to do with damage or debris strike. You have a physical key and ignition, that is clearly not keyless entry and remote start. On the base model LE that is an OPTIONED package with convenience package and is only included on SE and XSE. Edit: I fixed the seatbelt warnings with $1.79 pair of seat belt extensions from China. AliExpress had them at my house in a week. Fixed that for good. An excellent fix under $2.

I got 2020 Corolla hybrid with 176k now, had to replace original tire at 159k Yokohama is great,I did replace spark plug,coolant,transmission fluid @140k and every 10k 0w-16 oil…zero problem for 3yrs..56mpg average on original Yokohama tire but when I replaced to Michelin drops to 50mpg….best small car in the world.

My number one complaint about the car is road clearance. I wish I had another inch or two.

Congratulations on posting your first video! I purchased a 2023 Toyota Corolla LE Hybrid AWD, same color (Underground) and same accessories 3 weeks ago and I love it! Mine has the convenience package, that includes, 16" alloy wheels, Push start button, keyless entry, heated mirrors, blind spot monitoring among other things. Sadly, without the push start button you won't have the remote start option. Mine does 53 miles to the gallon so far, and hence it's not the fastest car, it takes me from point A to point B safely.

Sorry to hear that you have such a horrible experience with the dealer and Toyota. Remote start was one of the key feature that I looked for (warm it up in the winter, cool it down in the summer before I get in) and I had the dealer demo that on the 2024 Corrolla Hybrid SE model before I committed to buying as I originally thought it was only available for the XLE model. I also ended up putting a ceramic coat on my car. $35 for a bottle from Amazon, but my goal was to keep it shiny and easy to clean. It mostly does the job (still need to wash it 2x a month) but I still need to do it for the windows (I kind of avoid it as I heard people had seen streak marks).

I have a 2023 le and just love it I have about 4000 miles on it and I have been averaging over 56 mpg

If your dealer required you to get the ceramic coating, that’s ILLEGAL! Tied selling has been illegal even before toyota even existed!

That dealer sounds pretty jank... How does ceramic protect from chips, what a scam. And the fact that you took it in for service and they literally didn't finish what it was there for, wtf were their technicians doing!?...

I wonder why they can't sell a more "stripped out" version of the Corolla Hybrid here in Canada.. would knock off a couple more grand..

so ur car doesn't have auto start and can't use that yota app to remote control it? or is it only on the SE trims? my 2022 LE does NOT have app remote access either which is a bummer

Corolla Touring Sports owner here from Europe. I understand some issues (siriusXM isn’t something we use here so can’t speak for that). I use ceramic and nano coating for my Alfa Romeo’s and what they told you about protecting it from chips is absolute nonsense. It helps with keeping the car a lot cleaner because dirt doesn’t stick to the paint. But it has zero use on glass and does not protect you from rock chips. I’m sorry to hear that they pushed you into buying it for your car The software thing with the app I totally recognize by the way. They market it here as well with the same features, even though some features are not legal with European law (like remote start)

Same issue with the Toyota connect! Dealer said "oh yeah, you'll just use your phone for that." He got me to sign things, i hate it. Buyers remorse is killing me.

Minor issues.

Nice to see a video about 'features to hate' that actually lists hateworthy features. The most insidious are the sticky SiriusXM stations. Can they be deleted when the subscription is still active? A bit more ironic is the 2023 highway MPG have been dinged by the powertrain "upgrade" but you still don't get a spare tire. A full size spare fits and might ding your fuel economy by 0.1 mpg. Happy with my 2021. 🤣

How did you upgrade the horn? Could you make a video or add the link to the product you purchased?

C'mon we want more Corolla hybrid videos :) your videos are much better than those silly car review ones.

Thanks for telling us how the dealership ripped you off.

Some of the statements you made about your dealership tells me the dealer is not reasonable and not a good dealer. No dealer is allowed to require you to get ceramic coating. My son bought a brand new Impreza a year ago and the dealer tried to require this too. Sad part is my son works for a high end detail shop and does ceramic coating that is far superior to the stuff dealers install. That being said, the claim the dealer made that a ceramic coating on your windshield will prevent chips is very misleading. No coating whatsoever will prevent chips to glass or paint. All the coating does is make it so the water and grime will come off easier amkr it so your wipers don't work as hard (please note that when washing your car with a ceramic coating, you must dry it to prevent water spotting). Sorry that the dealer did this to you. This is one of those things that has brought a very bad rep to dealerships in recent years (in addition to major markups to prices of cars)

I got the 23’ corolla hybrid SE AWD and love it so far!

Wow! This dealership is terrible! Good for you for calling them out in this video. They should not be allowed to get away with such poor service. Toyota should offer you compensation for the lack of the remote features as well. That's complete BS.

As always, TOYOTA dealerships are the worst part of owning a Toyota.

So far, I haven’t heard many problems, I heard a lot of dislikes, but no problems, as far as it being dirty, try washing it and keep your dog out of your car

I bought the LE Hybrid and a VW Tiguan. The Corolla is a huge gas saver but the Tiguan has more vroooom vroooom!!! 🤩

I've owned 3 Corollas in the past and nowadays i just find them old-fashoined, dull and boring to drive. That seat belt beeping I find so annoying too. I recently purchased a KIA Forte which to me feels much nicer and more fun to drive.

What brand are the racks you got installed on the roof? Did you do it yourself? Thanks in advance!

I looked at one of these before getting my Civic and I'm still glad I got the Civic instead. The hubcaps on this car look rather bland compared to the ones on my 2019 Civic LX. But what I hated most about the Corolla were the vertical door handles inside the car. This is a really bad ergonomic design and I wish they didn't have them. The Corolla also seems much smaller than my Civic. Other than that, these cars are right around the same price and will probably last for quite a while.

ITS LITERALLY THE PRIUS ENGINE IN THE BODY OF A COROLLA. ( GREAT MPG BUT WEAK HORSEPOWER) MECHANIC CONFIRMED..

love these videos please keep doing a follow up. I'm having a hard time finding these for sticker. the whole point is paying sticker or under... anyways happy holidays!

you buy this car for japanese quality and reliability the entertainment issue are not important the dealers are incompetent and larcenous the car should keep you from dealing withe them you made the right choice

Basically the problem with this car is the dealership. This is why I havent bought a car in over 20 years

Thanks for the video. I like your video editing work. So do you recommend removing all the sirusxm stations from my favorites before the subscription expires? I don’t plan on renewing after the trial ends. The remote connect is a nice feature and should be available on your Corolla if the manufacturer says it’s available. But it’s another profit gouge for Toyota as it’s an annual subscription fee. Honestly, I rather forgo the remote connect and have a simple “walk away auto-lock” that Honda and other manufacturers would give you but Toyota refuses to put in their vehicles. Speaking of Honda, the lane keep assist (auto steering assist) is so much better than in Toyota. For one you don’t need to have dynamic radar cruise engaged for to come on and second, it’s much more effective. With Toyota’s even with steering assist, there’s not enough steering wheel movement and it would go over the lanes from time to time.

I have the same car, same color except mine is the SE model and i love it, btw i have the same rattle sounds too, only thing i hate is not having blind spot monitors

Anything "required" by the dealerships is basically a lie anyone else reading this just tell them you don't want it and watch them panic 😂

Wow that dealership sucks, unacceptable

clean your car!!

You believed, that a coating can protect your windshield from stone chips 😂😂

I own a 2017 reg Toyota auris (corolla) had just over 2 years and covered 20 k miles with no problems at all serviced by my local Toyota dealer best car i have ever owned will certainly by a new model when i decided decide to update

Thank you OP for the video. This reaffirmed that the Corolla hybrid is NOT for me despite wanting a basic commuter car. Definitely overkill for my taste. Annoyingly speaking, the L got discontinued

Good job on the video! Really appreciate your review homie! I purchased 24' Corolla Hybrid LE for $22k + tax How's your fuel economy?

Just find out 8 months later no Spare tire

LE really needs the convenience package, otherwise SE or XLE are well equipped

Hi. I bought a 2022 LE. It doesn't come with heated side rear-view mirrors like my 2014 LE had. Does this have that? I hate that Toyota took that away, it's pretty important when the car is encased in ice, or even on really foggy mornings.

New one we got don't have no key it's just push a button

How does this hybrid 2023 Corolla hybrid compare to a 2023 Corolla XSE hatchback with conventional gasoline engine 2.0 in all performance categories, ride and comfort, noise, isolation on bumpy roads, reliability, and cost of maintenance?🤔🤔🤔

I have one, here in Costa RIca we only get one version, here you cant get the AWD which really doesn´t matter as we do not have snow here... Mine comes with smart key, the big 7" screen, nice rims, synthetic leather seats. To be honest I love it, the only thing I do not like is that here the multimedia screen is different, it is older and I have issues connecting my iphone 14 pro, carplay doesn´t work, I´ll fix it with a carlink 5.0 device to make it work and also make it wireless. But hey, great car, I do around 800km per full tank which here is around $50.

Dealer cannot require you to get an add on

Forgot to mention... NO PUSH BUTTON START

So funny. I liked your points. Thanks for making this.

There is no requirement for windshield treatment. The fact that they forgot to do all that stuff afterward just shows they are rubbish dealers

Love the look of this car , the design is great. Hard to get the sedan (saloon ) here in UK

Who listens to the radio anymore?

Very helpful and eye opening...thank you!

Hi there, I still ask this question why people buy this CHEAP, JAPANESE, INFERIOR vehicle and still feel happy about it. I use 1999 Mercedes Benz C 280 V6,and I am still going to buy another one of good condition if I get it. I have never been a fun of anything Toyota in my entire life,I don't think I would.

Waiting on mine to come in next month for a commuter only ride. Found a dealer selling it to me for MSRP besides the taxes title fees, etc. No markup 👍

I really want this car

LOUD ROAD NOISE = I WEAR EAR PLUGS EVERYTIME I DRIVE I have a 2021 regular, and the car literally megaphones road noise.

$400 dolar required ? You fool 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀

I am shopping a corolla hybrid and they are over $30k

My mantra is if one, yes ONE Toyota vehicle f***s up, then all Toyotas had f***ed up. Nevermore and again I will ever own a Toyota, due to my mom’s and my bad experience with Toyota’s product, less than stellar product.

Congrats, not bad for first video 👍

How about cleaning your car? You’ll never have any dirt in those holes

You didn’t get the Premium Package?

My 2023 toyota corolla hybrid makes an annoying noise when in EV. It is unbearable. Anyone else has this issue?

I travel a ton for my own self owned business and have been using a business account I have with Hertz and Budget/Avis for monthly fleet rentals for about a decade now. Been great, no issues, but my great prices are about to end and they're going up substantially. I'm thinking about buying one of these to get the fuel savings and since it's dirt cheap I'll pay it off in about 2.5 years but I'll put about 160 to 170k miles on it in the 2.5 to 3 years. Does anyone have any experience with putting over 150k miles on these super fast like that? Do they do well with it? I can't find info on that sort of thing anywhere. I figure they should hold up well being used a ton very frequently as long as full synthetic is put in and maintenance schedule is followed. I don't need longevity, just 2.5 to 3 years then trade in for a new one.

🎉🎉❤super great for a first video 🎉🎉

Excellent video….thanks for posting

I have the same car but no spare tire that's unacceptable

I just bought my 2023 Corolla LE hybrid about 3 weeks ago. One thing I noticed is that when the car slows down to 20mph I start to notice the loud electric motor sound. I don't know if anyone has the same issue.

Great first video!

Crybaby whining about the most petty issues. Not a word about all the good this car has to offer. I know a single mom with no car that never complains. Poor guy has it rough, SAD

A Toyota corolla hybrid is the best deal on the market and in europa you can get them as wagons to!

We got same car except for door gaurd trims on side.

Well maybe the start button one has the remote on feature but man u should thank god my 2021 corolla cross doesnt even have a multimedia display🤣🤣🤣🤣 and it costs 28k jds which is almost 40k USD

Are you sure it doesn’t have remote start with the key fob? You have to press it 3 times according to other RU-vid videos

Hey man, you should sue them if it didn't come with what's advertised

Nice video bro! Apart from the tint, did you pay MSRP or did you have to pay a dealer markup?

That dealership is a lemon lol.

I am thinking of a Corolla LE possibly a hybrid as a first car, not sure yet, but seems like the dealer you did business with shittiest of shitheads...

Is the mpg estimates accurate in your experience? I drive uber so am very curious

Quick question, how did you updated the horn? Brand type Thanks

That was the whiniest video ever

I've had a Corolla for 13 years (2003 to 2016), and although it was relatively inexpensive to maintain, it did break down (oil pressure sensor plug leak, and main manual transmission bearing failure, not to mention catalytic converter rust hole requiring an expensive replacement) and not under warranty which is way too short. Moreover, it was a cheap car in every sense of the word. Mine severely understeered and was riding very stiff, noisy interior, wind noise from the doors on the highway, noisy engine (sounded like a tractor at idle from brand new), and overall crappy car. The only things going for it were the relatively good fuel economy and low maintenance costs. But everything else was a disappointment. Nevermore a Corolla for me.

Does it tune to HD Radio on AM and FM?

Can you please provide the link for the horn? I want the same upgrade for my Corolla too😃

Does your car have the ability to tell you the actual amount of miles that is put on the engine.Changing the oil when the actual engine mileage is one half what the odometer says is ridiculous.

They also sell chip vacuums so you can vacuum your car You back seat is covered with hair

you shouldn't of got a LE....

That dealership sucks

Does the car have anything for lane assist or blind spot?

I not a you tuber but congratulations you hot over 10000 views 🎉

Just a bad dealership

2023 hybrid. No smart key🤦‍♂️

Where is the car made?

A few of your complains aren’t so much with the car itself, but more to do with level of the service for maintenance, your lack of a full understanding of the actual features of the car and falling for an add-on windshield product scam.

Is it true that the battery works only in speeds of 15 MPH and slower?

If you fell for that BS scam that you are required to get a coating on your windshield then you deserve to lose your money. You're not required to do anything.

Is this the AWD or FWD

Yo, lowkey, the one we get in the eu is better
