Drives one handed too.

My 2015 1.3L CVT Yaris is brilliant!

in 14 month, no car will have issue

@@Unacceptable. cars now 4 years old done 180k miles still be problem free 🙂

@@jayjay378378 👍

Wow, much in way of maintence needed

@@dexpearce6267 just servicing every 10k miles done 18 services now costing around £220 each

My Seat Leon does 70 plus mpg and has free VED. Far better all round

@@Anonymous-ib8so what about your repair bills and yours only does 70mpg on a run not local

@@Anonymous-ib8so did you miss the part where he said its better than all the competitors

Google tsi problems ​@@nostalgiachannel318

Lucky escape more like

Agree, this is why the boot is smaller more batteries for the 2ltt

That’s the one I’d have too

Agree - Mrs had a Yaris (new) back in 2008, and it was a decent car - but the new one looks brilliant

You won’t regret. Word from a Toyota customer for 4 years now

About the same as my 1.2T petrol gives but the difference is the hybrid will spank it in the city where I get 40mpg and yours barely drops.

@@gravemind6536This was essentially why I chose the 2.0l hybrid estate corolla, good on motorway, great in town.

Impressive

Chav mobile 😂😭😂

I have the Auris with this engine its brilliant.

4:30 "... all the car you'll ever need"

Totally agree

The same is true of the CHR. I have owned both and 2 litre is 100% the way to go.

nice bro 👍🏽

Sounds like a nice garage.

Interesting. I drove a corolla 1.8 hatch last weekend and I loved it, if I'd tried one 18 months ago I might have bought the 2.0 version instead of my Kia Proceed GT, which isn't very relaxing in comparison! However my girlfriend would like me to get a Rav 4 as it suits our outdoor lifestyle better, is yours the current shape hybrid? Oh, and I'm also a member of the MX5 crowd too, I've owned a 2 litre 2011 NC for a few years...

Get the corolla you won't regret it

Just £38k

how is it on bumpy roads?

I was impressed. You can appreciate the build quality

I love the NX

I’ve always respected the Prius. Had one actually for a period

Wait till you see him back in a Range Rover again. He'll probably disavow anything Corolla and blame everything on Osborne.... 😎

@@waltercodbollocks3175 I see a car payment as an overhead like utility bills etc. Sinking lots of cash into a car doesn’t make sense to me. Also, I prefer to be in a new/nearly new car.

Small world

How weird, so did I! I've actually ordered a hybrid corolla in manhattan grey due in september and looking forward to it.

You get more legroom in the tourer too.

@@Zerofightervi in the rear👍

I'm assuming you've converted from US gallons. If not that's about 78 miles per UK gallon. I've got a prius so I know how economical they can be.

I personally don't see the German badges as quality engineering anymore, I see them as low quality high cost cars and so their badges have no appeal to me. Japanese cars are typically made to tighter engineering tolerances and with higher quality components and that is what matters to me. I do feel cabin quality often fails Japanese cars but I guess the money is spent elsewhere and the current Mazda's actually look super stylish inside and out. The sort of people who buy German cars especially secondhand don't seem that clever to me, they seem obsessed with brands and pay through the nose to get them and put up with high cost servicing and repairs. Also the type of people who buy German marques seem to have the lowest skills on the road and the least patience. The German brands just seem to attract the worst possible people. As a cyclist you always have to be wary of German marques and white van men more than other vehicles it seems. It seems often people buy performance German cars and then get very frustrated when they are in traffic queues and are prevented from going fast, they seem the most keen to overtake at risky times and put the safety of others at risk. Just making the point that people that buy German marques can be perceived very badly by others. Of course I realise that is a terrible generalisation but I feel strongly there is a huge amount of truth to it based on my experiences and what you read in the press regarding drivers who drive recklessly and cause accidents. Even the police have a joke name for car incidents/accidents where they call it an AAA incident which basically mean's 'Another Audi Arse-ole' rather than the Automobile Association which you might think it meant. I just feel its weird how cars are perceived because most products people want quality and reliability. However I guess cars are really more about fashion and how people want to be perceived by others and perhaps German marques nowadays present a slightly more dangerous and reckless persona that many like.

​@@bonzobanana1 I strongly agree with all your points. Japanese brands do seem to just not care about the cabin styling and nicities that the German cars do. By contrast I find the German cars dull, expensive, unreliable and driven by arse holes.

New being from which year?

@@ln5747 the hybrids have been known have problems starting off the car battery after sitting for weeks for a number of years, however the new ones (2019>) seem to draw more power and have more issues starting when sat.

They’re very easy to live with aren’t they. Good taste in cars too

I love the new rav4

@@HighPeakAutos I ordered RAV 4 and started loosing patience because I don’t know when it is going to be delivered. Thinking of givinig up and go for used Merc GLC or BMW X3…help me stay on right path 🥹

Thank you!

They’re great cars

Short trips supposed to be economical though? How short were yours?

@@MagicNash89 eight miles round trip to the shops and back for short trips and speeds less than 25mph in EV mode here in the UK. Winter time it has dropped as I use the heated front seats. Bring on the Summer
