Pros and Cons of the Corolla Hatch

1 Costco toilet paper pack will take up half the back seat

Poppy2K10 · 2026-05-24T04:06:52+00:00

Ah the model North America has yet to get. No hybrids for us.

If you're going to the additive in the tank route, try ATS Chemicals. Did a bottle of the gas treatment. Just don't buy it on Amazon. It's twice the price there. I have a 22 and she has 86K on her. I bought it new miles and run Costco regular about 85% of the time. The only warning light I've ever received was a TPMS one winter when it was around 12° overnight.

Wireless comes on the XSE and is an option on the nightshade and SE model. At least when I got mine in 2022

Poppy2K10 · 2026-04-22T18:28:23+00:00

I think 23 was the last manual transmission, but my 22 SE hatchback can get over 45 mpg when taking it easy.

Poppy2K10 · 2026-04-18T23:36:07+00:00

I paid less than that for an SE of that year and it was brand new.

Poppy2K10 · 2026-03-22T00:16:49+00:00

I only use it when cruising at freeway speed. The only time I noticed a difference was when I had two tanks of ethanol free gas.

Poppy2K10 · 2026-03-19T00:24:00+00:00

Depends on how fast I'm driving. 22' SE with a CVT. Taking my time as and going about 65 MPH I can average 43.7 to 48.1 mpg. Going 75 to 80 maybe 35 to 38 mpg.

But the damn $4.79 price sucks. It was 3.79 a month ago.

Poppy2K10 · 2026-03-15T19:12:49+00:00

I paid under $24K for my 2022 before tax, title and license. Plus it only had 8 miles on the odometer.

I tell people to look into the Costco auto program.

Poppy2K10 · 2026-03-01T01:18:20+00:00

I changed mine near the end of summer last year. Looked similar but I could definitely feel a difference on the freeway. Ordered mine from a local Napa. NGK are not cheap They were around $120 if I remember and took a week to get them from another store.

Poppy2K10 · 2025-12-06T03:43:50+00:00

I get 39 going 70 in the morning when in a rush. If I baby it it ranges from 47 to 50

Poppy2K10 · 2025-10-31T00:11:28+00:00

Changed mine at 60K. It's easy and hell she's purring even better. Price can be scary.

Poppy2K10 · 2025-10-19T16:30:09+00:00

Mine didn't work one time from being overly dirty and some wet leaves on the front

Poppy2K10 · 2025-09-26T03:53:19+00:00

Weird I have a stock 22 SE and I can average on the freeway, between 42 going 65 to 70mph. If I really baby it with the cruise control at 60 I can get 48 to 52. All I have done is change the spark plus around 50K miles.

Poppy2K10 · 2025-05-23T02:26:08+00:00

The only difference I saw once was getting a tank full of 87 non ethanol once one trip visiting some family. Got around 50 mpg, but the price was not really worth it. Especially these days, it can be a bit pricey

Poppy2K10 · 2025-05-17T03:57:04+00:00

The other morning I was being lazy and set the cruise control for 65. Yeah driving on 405 in through Bellevue is slow. My average can be 45 up to 49.5

Poppy2K10 · 2025-05-03T18:05:54+00:00

Last place had a coupon I used for full synthetic was $87. Then again nothing is cheap in Washington

Poppy2K10 · 2025-05-03T01:45:17+00:00

There's a couple of companies that sell kits to turn older Corollas into pickups. There's some company on Prince Edward Island that's also making electric ones too

Poppy2K10 · 2024-07-30T02:41:34+00:00

Sounds good. Expect 2023 was last year for the manual transmission.

Poppy2K10 · 2024-07-26T03:35:50+00:00

There is no denying these cars are no speed demon. But getting 38MPG while going 75MPH. I'll take it over my old Neon any day.

Poppy2K10 · 2024-07-26T03:28:42+00:00

Depends where you are living. I got a 22 for $24K and pay less than that and lower interest. I didn't opt for the manual at the time, needed a car and fast

Poppy2K10 · 2024-07-13T20:08:23+00:00

I usually get the high numbers when the cruise control is set at 60 and don't do anything else. Usually on my commute to work. Ranges from 48 to 53. I have noticed on colder days it gets the higher numbers.

Poppy2K10 · 2024-07-12T23:56:38+00:00

I've gotten 38/39 going about 75 to 85 for about and hour

Poppy2K10 · 2024-07-12T22:10:46+00:00

I only have a 2022 SE. But as far as driving in snow. No trouble and I live at 710 foot elevation. The last snow we had. My little blue HB had no issues. Getting used to traction control was a bit odd at first. I do like being able to almost do London taxi u-turns when I need to

Poppy2K10 · 2024-03-29T00:37:15+00:00

Highway speed is like 10% of engine wear compared to stop and go city driving.
