I feel comfortable in the drivers seat, and love the dashboard. But I don’t like the fact that rain is caught in the door and you can hear it “swoosh” when turning. I first thought I had a gallon of juice in the back. Plus, I can’t find a cargo cover for the hatchback.

Generally Happy with some caveats

I have had my 2019 toyota corolla hatchback for well over two years and I am generally happy and satisfied with the car especially its gas mileage performance, its looks and its handlng on the road. A few issues that have bothered me from the get go was road noise. I have the SE with the OME 17" tires and hopefully the new set I will get will reduce it somewhat but the overall cabin is simply not padded enough and that gets too loud on the highway. the other complaint is the lack of Android Auto which having not purchased the navigation option forces me to rely on a clumsy erratic toyota app and Scout nav app. when they work they're fine but they've been very glitchy. Also I wish I could see the front of the hood. But for my all around city and highway driving needs its been a good car overall.

Best Corolla ever

My Corolla Hatch XSE is a terrific car. The interior design and build quality is exceptional, with dual zone climate control, leather heated front seats, and apple car play. The exterior styling caught my eye from the moment Toyota announced the new Corolla Hatch. I think it’s the best looking Corolla that Toyota has ever made, and it comes with so many options as standard. Cons- the manual transmission is a bit clunky, not nearly as good as the current Yaris (Mazda 2), and the intelligent manual transmission feature is just annoying. Thankfully, that feature stays off by default. Road noise is a little on the loud side with the 18 inch wheels, although I read it may be quieter in the SE trim that has different wheels and tires. Also, the rear legroom is definitely cramped in comparison to the sedan. Overall, it’s a great car that has lots of tech and safety features included. I’d definitely recommend.

for the price not worth it

it is a very sub par car. brakes make noise when hitting them in reverse, back windows can't be down without the front all the way down (terribly loud noise) doors don't open wide enough (couldn't fit a box that was 18x18x20) this car is not worth the money it costs if anything it should be cheaper then other cars in its class.

The best small car!

This is the second Corolla I have owned. I had a 2009 sedan that has over 200k miles on it before I ran into engine issues. I am a Toyota fan. I love my 2019 Corolla hatchback in the brightest blue possible. It gets great gas mileage and it drives really well. I have only owned it for six months and I already have 13k miles on it. The only things I don’t like are the size of the trunk space (too small) and the fact that the steering wheel doesn’t lift up high enough. I have to put my seat up high to see over the hood and it doesn’t leave a lot of room under the steering wheel to get in the car.

Toyota Corolla

I love my Hatchback and the color is beautiful. It has all the features that I need in a vehicle, my only recommendation is to add a open trunk button inside vehicle and on key fob.

Prettiest car color

I like this car. It is sleek and has a beautiful color which I have not seen since I have had it. Rides smooth, great on gas and I look good in it!

Best car ever!!!

I love my 2019 hatchback! It’s fun to drive and I don’t see too many of them! It’s perfect for me and what I need to do! I’ve had only Corolla’s and this one is one of my favorites.

I love my Corolla Hatchback

I work in the entertainment industry and I was looking for a car with great capacity to carry speakers, big plastic containers, luggage. This car is simply amazing, it is compact, easy to park, a great sport look and you can pack it with stuff!

Best price vs performance hatchback

Fun car that gives 40mpg on the highway. Best value for money with all the tech gizmos in the xse premium model. Best Corolla hatchback ever.
