    enemay I'm very lucky and thankful that I live in Asia.. It is marketed here as the Corolla Altis and in my opinion is way more better than the U.S. version. although I can't afford it yet,I would buy the Corolla if i have the means. worth the money for a quality product. That's probably why it's the best selling compact sedan.

    I wonder if the Mazda has as comfortable seats as the Ford Falcons, I love my fords but eventually im going to have to go with something else when the Falcon goes :'( they always offered massive value for money. BTW tried the Ford Focus, found the seats way to angled which you couldn't change and much to hard for my liking, otherwise i liked the car, i like soft squishy seats. Would it be possible to remove the front existing seats in the focus and put in seats from the current falcons, or falcon seats in the Mazda for that matter?

    I have settled for and love my 2014 Cruze hatch SRi 1.6 auto which has mixed leather / material seats that are comfortable. The car is surprisingly spacious and is definitely fun to drive as a daily commuter but hate the major security risk built in as a result of compulsory auto head light control. Your quoted fuel consumption for this 1.6 auto must be for open road driving only as urban driving is much higher. haha Interior design wise, the plastic feel is acceptable as most small / medium size cars have that problem. All cars featured in this video have complicated operation buttons, screens, etc and almost mandate a competency certificate to be able the operate these controls properly. ha-ha ..... but ...... I suppose that is a sign of the times. ha-ha

    When we have cars that drive just as well like the Mazda3 but are far more reliable, why do we need to deal with Ford’s BS engine and transmission issues. Of course European cars sell better in Europe where parts are locally sourced, down here it’s geographically closer to Japan and Korea so Euro parts are expensive and take a long time to ship, combined with the fact you’d be needing to visit the mechanic for aforementioned repairs more than a Japanese car, the Australian buying public clearly made the smarter choice suited to us. Petrol here is also of RON91 quality so we aren’t fond of it. 90-95% cars sold are auto and Ford’s have made waves with their failing PowerShit transmissions. Again a Mazda drives just as well, has a reliable engine + transmission package no matter what combo you choose, no “undersized engines that have been turbocharged” nonsense so no need for expensive petrol + cheaper parts. Plus the Focus has a crappy plasticky interior full of buttons. It’s no wonder Focus sales have ranked, Mazda3 is the highest ranked for private sellers and the Corolla serves the fleet market.

And seeing the Cerato is a reskinned Elantra I could include that. What the Elantra and Cerato have in common with the Corolla but the 3 struggles with is rear leg room. Impreza is good, but could use more poke to drive all four wheels. But a solid car nonetheless. Focus is fine, bar rear leg room. The only car I wouldn't gave here is the Cruze.

    Corolla is the worst in my opinion. The interior feels the cheapest, in both design and materials like it should be from the Yaris class of vehicle. The styling is awkward and clumsy. The handling and suspension are doughy and too soft, so it's dynamically the worst small car to drive.

Or anything compared to competitors for that matter? You Toyota buyers don't even bother comparing any other cars, you just walk straight into the Toyota showroom and sign away like a sheep so your comments are meaningless to me. If you weren't just a sheep you wouldn't have bought the Corolla because other cars are objectively better and you would have realised that... had you tested them... which you didn't. Corolla torquey? haha hard to believe given it has the least about of torque from any car in this class! Don't take my comments the wrong way. The Corolla maybe the worst out of the small car class, but it's definitely not a bad car. It's safe and reliable and if that's just the type of person you are - not one to use your imagination or take any sort of risks in life, then it's just fine. But you won't get to experience very much and will have a very limited and boring life.
