Why are you comparing a $23k car to a $32k car, the nearly $10k difference
in price makes these cars incomparable both in terms of the types of buyers
and how good they are.
Forgot to mention the most obvious reason why it outsells it 10 to 1:
reliability and longevity. People dont like to keep repairing and keep
spending extra money to fix volkswagens thats why more people buy Corollas.
The thing about the Corolla is that if you like cars at all, you will never
own one.
Did we hear what the Golf got for actual mileage in comparison to the
Corolla?
From my personal experience you buy a Toyota for reliability, which when
spending your hard earned cash is a very compelling reason alone… Vw has
a very bad stigma that they are unreliable fix that and VW will get more
sales.
A hatchback has allways 3 or 5 doors. Not 2 or 4.
Just buy a Civic, better looks than both with good gas mileage. And, its a
Honda, its going to run and run and run with a high resale value too!
One more example that motor journalists have absolutely no clue and will
always default to sportiness and more power! In there opinion the VW is
much better but, it doesn’t have the sales numbers to compare. It’s not
just about value but needs and the carolla meet the needs of a lot of
people. I must say that the auto journalists are good for a chuckle.
Once again Toyota will be ten times more reliable then the junk from
Germany.
people don’t buy corollas for their sportiness and get up and go, they buy
them of their reliability and good fuel economy, that’s all corollas have
ever been good for. if you want a sporty compact car that can get up and
go, then you go for cars like the Focus ST, Civic SI or Golf GTI etc.. not
a corolla.
These are very different cars. For example, only a retard would buy the
Corolla over the Golf.
You didn’t take into consideration the design of Golf, which is similar to
its 90s! VW doesn’t have a design department at all!
When the scion Im comes out its basically a corolla hatchback test that
please
Corolla has a lot less room for the driver, my observations.
If I wanted an A to B mover that had decent styling and simple reliability,
then I’d choose the Corolla. If I wanted a more premium experience,
fun-to-drive characteristics, and a more advanced car, I’d choose the Golf.
Personally hate new Corollas, but they are a lot more reliable than Golfs
While not a big fan of Japanese made cars, but in this case I’d take the
Corolla over the Golf. Golf for American market – is made in Mexico. Not
buying any vehicle made in Mexico, has nothing to do with the workers
skills, has to do with Management treatment of those workers. Just like I
wouldn’t buy any car made in China.
I’d take the Mazda 3 over the Corolla (and over the Honda)
Huh? So how is it worth the extra $? You guys didn’t really explain that. I
thought you would conclude the Corolla was better.
Who’s cross-shopping these?
Just started working at VW. Proud to sell the Golf 🙂
I still prefer the Mazda 3 over the bland styled Golf.
Don’t forget the quality parts of the interior will be and feel MUCH better
in the Golf. And the German refinements and “little things” in the Golf
will definitely make it a better everyday car. Corolla will feel cheap from
the door handles to everything else.
granted the golf is more fun , much nicer intiror , and even better looking
but and a big but , it lacks the reliability that Toyota has …and
repairing any vw electric problem with in a few years will cost you a
fortune …plus don’t forget the resell value and just value for money the
corolla offers
why does the Corolla have the ride height of a rally car?
You can paint the wheels black on a refrigerator, but you are still left
with a refrigerator with black wheels. The Corolla will never be cool or
youthful.
I do believe that Toyota makes good cars (I have never owned one) but at
least to me the design on most of the cars is one of the worst
Corolla needs a hatch version, or even a hot hatch version! (So does the
Civic- they used to come in a great hatchback.) Golf is only a hatch but
*practically* does come as a sedan- the Jetta.
Critics would choose the Golf but the masses would choose the Corolla. A
better pairing would be the Mazda 3 versus the Golf.
Apart from reliability , Toyota is bull SHIT
Why do the British regard VW as reliable and Americans do not? I don’t
think German built VWs have fared any better than those built in Mexico.
Both agree on the solid reputation of Toyota.
You should have compared it to the Jetta instead.
Corolla is the better choice. This model golf the Corolla is better then.
For what these cars will be used for the Corolla is better everyday car.
I will admit, overall, the Golf is a more enjoyable car to drive. However,
I’ve known too many VW owners who do all the maintenence on their cars and
still have expensive reliability problems over the long term. When it
finally came to purchasing a car it was between a GTI or RSX-S. The Acura
was just far too reliability and visiting the VW forums I realized they
were too problematic. 150,000 miles later my RSX hasn’t given me one
problem and I redline all the time to 8000 rpm. I’ve done an oil analysis,
not one thing wrong with the engine. That’s why ultimately makes many
people decide to pick Toyota and Honda over brands like VW.
Wow you improved your lisp!
The toyota is a very good small car, after driving one though, it is
extremely boring to drive. Great for the average buyer or commuter though.
CVT really lets down the fun factor.
Problem with Toyota is you don’t feell special in the car. Nothing is
special. Car without a soul. You just feel that it is a transportation
thing. That’s why I don’t like Toyota. On the other hand, in a Golf you
feel something premium. Probably you shouldn’t, but you do.
tnx for the video.corolla is a work horse and itss about time they give
bolt on options like supercharger,brakes,suspention and fiberglass windows
.world loves corolla and numbers dont lie.the best seller of all times
