Review: 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback XSE

corolla-xse-side.jpg

I spent a week with the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback in XSE trim level. When I first saw the Toyota Corolla Hatcbhack in XSE trim with the Blue Flame paint, I hoped the car would drive as good as it looks. It does, and it can be had with six-speed manual.

kinda dont really understand this car. who really asked for this. it was cool at first now it just looks like a Chinese version of a fiesta, no turbo no AWD. no 20 something year old in this day and age will buy a manual version. overly complex engine with a heavy weight and still barely enough power to be driveable.

Ralley car? The yaris the WRC ralley car. no. no. no.

I bet this car outsells the Yaris liftback at least 4:1 in 2019. That is assuming they even continue to sell the Yaris liftback here (I see Toyota.com still doesn't list a 2019).

Looks are subjective, or course. Turbo and AWD? Why would it have that? It's not meant to compete against the WRX or now-gone Focus RS (despite it being painted a similar hue). And no one will buy the manual, eh? Then why do they offer it? I, for one, only buy manual transmission cars.

Overly heavy? It's 3,000 lbs.! Barely enough power to be derivable? I suggest going and driving one before making that assumption.

I enjoyed the review. I only found 5 types of 0w-16 - and that was on Amazon! Did you notice if the oil filter for the new 2.0 liter engine is a canister or the regular screw-on type?

The review is pretty much spot on what I think of mine, too. I really enjoy both of my Corollas.

I checked Autozone.com, and it gives no 0W-16 oil options.

Good question on the filter, but I didn't happen to notice.

sat in one(blue flame xse) at the dealership last week. it was an auto, but felt- and looked- REALLY good. i think it looks even better in person than the pictures do it justice! was actually getting sold when i came back with my wife to look at it a couple days later. i think this car has potential to be one of toyota's best sellers(when you combine it with the 2020 sedan version).

My take is that it's basically a newer version of the matrix XRS/ Pontiac Vibe GT, but with less power per liter and more weight .

Benefits - modern amenities, uses 87 octane (2zz requires premium I believe), great looking car
Cons - heavy, expensive, gigantic screen taking up half of the dash, 18 inch wheels mean expensive tires
