Old Top Gear Toyota Corolla 

Fuck the golf

Toyota in 2021: Wana see me do it again again?

@@diegomendez9372 Toyota in 2022: and again

Please give me a regular Corolla that can beat a GTI, just like in this video. I hate that it’s either a gutless snoozefest or over the top track focused GR model and no in between.

@@User-cb4jm OK, GR Sport Hybrid Corolla

Is it still running?

@@TheNorseman Still using nearly everyday. Some minor parts replacements over the years but all are straight forward. Plenty of after market parts available as it share parts with Mark8 Corolla.

@@tng2057 Nice! Mine has 310500 km and still original clutch and exhaust! I had to replace a driveshaft, but found a cheap SKF quality part. Except from that only 2 wheel bearings, and brake discs, brake pads and rear brake parts that are normal maintainence to change. It is a really good winter car, in snow and ice too. A true world car.

@@TheNorseman Brother! Mine 350k km, changed clutch plates twice, changed cylinder head gaskets twice. Engine and drive shaft and starter motors and electronics no issue, only one air conditioning refrigeration pipe replacement (ac still working well). Cooling and starting zero problem. Radiator, alternator, exhaust, refrigeration compressor, brake drums, electronics and disc all original. 10000s taxi drivers at Kabul / Mogadishu/ Sanaa/ Cebu can’t be wrong?

@@tng2057 You are my brother from another mother! I will check up on you in 5 to 10 years to make sure you are still doing well, and still driving the best car in the world.

Fraser Apps or an explosion

It's not a Morris Marina, as it was a running gag on modern Top Gear with Jezza, Hamster & Slow

I bet Jeremy wanted to do that too.

Not necessarily. There are complex-engineered cars, and yet still remains reliable.

@@FAT8893 lol yea right

@@whoopigoldberg9956 Oh yes, I can definitely attest that since my friend have a Porsche 996 Carrera.

@@FAT8893 Ah yes, nothing so simple as a plastic riddled, overpriced, boxed, and overweight sport car that shouts reliability.

@@whoopigoldberg9956 Overpriced? Lol, my friend got his Porsche cheaper than a brand new Corolla.

It does!

No, it still doesn't. It looks boring.

That's the problem. It looks fine. There's nothing wrong with it. It's like an ikea furniture piece.

yup , and we still have it my family

Not the most exciting body shapes, but it still looks MUCH better than the Golf 🤣

yes

Funny you should say that, Quite a lot of corollas excluding the 86, used the same 4AG for about 10 years, the one in the video being no exception. And I don’t know, apart from the rwd, and live axle and lightness, it’ll probably feel like an old Corolla to drive, just a small runabout to prevent them carrying tofu uphill on foot, or at least how Takumi and Natsuki describes it. Take a look at AE86s outside of Initial D, Fast and furious and the drifting world, and you’ll see quite a few just used as a characters tool to get to the shops. Essentially it’s UKs version of the Ford Capri… though at least Toyota didn’t revive its name as a silly electric crossover.

My uncrushed soul never paid the bill when my German car broke down at its MOT. Those days are in the past for me now. My “soul” is coping.

Exactly!

Toyota revived the hatchback recently. And there will be a GR Corolla alongside the GR Yaris

bought a e10 liftback couple of years ago. been serviced and since garaged. starts up everytime i come home from uni, sometimes months inbetween

@@KatoBDK still have it in my driveway, next to a 2021 Corolla Hatchback. Amazing car and super reliable!

Denver Alfito Anggada still is.

Stil is as rite

Just google most sold car in the 200yr old history of automobiles, and you will know why

@@deathstroke7316 Lol, and this mandatory ad populum. If McDonald's deliver the most meals a year, are they the world's best restaurant? If you live in Russia and Lada is the only car selling, is that the world's best car? If you have ten people standing on a bridge, will you jump off if more than five others do? I don't know if it has changed, but iirc; the Corolla wasn't the best selling car in the world. The truth was that more cars sold had been labelled "Corolla" than any other car.

They’re working on being fun again. They did that with the Corolla Hatch recently

"If you want a car that gets you around with the absolute minimum of fuss. If you see that car as a necessary and expensive evil, then you cannot do better than this." Is the actual quote, why are you Toyota fan boys like this? Is the car really just transport for you and nothing more?

@@MGR99 It is for MOST people, that’s why it sells so well. Toyota buyers aren’t fanboys of anything, it’s just that most people want a car that doesn’t have random electrical faults like Euros and can’t tell the difference in so called driving dynamics of a Golf v Corolla just driving around to the shops. Not everyone uses a public highway as a race track.

GAS GAS GAS! I’M GONNA STEP ON THE GAS!!!

That's rather depressing, isn't it?

@@FAT8893 Not really. That's why cars were even invented.

@@BigAl2-u7e Then why did sports cars come rather quickly after the invention of the car?

@@MGR99 Because when cars were first created in the late 1800, it was primarily only something that people who were rich could afford. Nowadays, not so much. Also, what's your point? It's 2022, not 1890

@@BigAl2-u7e The point is, cars have been seen as much more than just transportation from pretty much the beginning, a statement that holds true when you look at how many types of motorsport and even types of cars have existed. But even then, many, many people fail to see the car as more than just transport, which is a bit sad, cause of how much joy and pleasure a good car can bring. It's a treat to all senses, a beautiful design is something you can always look at and appreciate when you get out or even from the drivers seat. Then the noise of the engine and exhaust can be very musical, something that just makes these tones that can't be replicated with anything else. The feedback you get from the steering wheel and what you can feel from your seat, the car communicating the road and what it's doing to you. Even the smells add to the experience. But, you will fail to experience these things, if you look at the car as nothing but an appliance, and buy one that matches that criteria. And it's not like you have to get something expensive to experience these things, just getting a simple old car will give you a good taste of this.

Clarkson is just a car wrecker.

There is indeed a little Impreza over them :)

*Dorifto?*

Hmm, I think a better word for British cars is character.

You clearly don’t understand anything about design.

It's the wrong corolla and it's fwd

Yansuki What the Romans ever did for us

i pity those who didn't get it..

@4:3 Gaming the 2zz was good though, even the 1zz-fe is a pretty peppy engine

No, his conclusion was that it was impossible to make a reliable car that's fun to drive. The Ford Focus disproved this.

At the end TG again showed Corolla as the answer to the question, which car is both reliable and fun to drive!!!
