It works I guess

It's a great size and I like the LE AWD trim package, it has everything I needed. I have had some issues though six months into owning it. The door seals are great and have an occasional whistle. It has no guts to accelerate from a stop or from speed so passing is iffy. When I picked it up a blindside detector chip had blown and needed replacing and now the fuel sending unit is blown too. Both covered under warranty but not things I expected.

The new 2023 SUV in my garage

This is one of the more affordable small SUV's on the market and hopefully it will retain its' value. It provides a nice ride and easy handling. The rear compartment is ample but leg room for rear passengers is a little less so. There is no rear window wash or wiper! The windows are not tinted; that bothers my grandchildren & myself on sunny days. You can open this vehicle with your key fob but you have to press the buttons, it doesn't automatically open if the fob is nearby. It does not have a powerful engine, so it will take time to get up to speed. It's easier to connect to your phone if you own an Apple phone. You will need to download APPs to use the phone and radio.

Battle of the crossovers

It's good enough to get on the highway and does excellent at highway speeds. Yes it is a tad slow to get to 60, however how often will you have an open track straight to a highway without dealing with some form of traffic anyways. It has the best in safety and so far there have been no recalls. I have the Cross LE which is recommended by Edmonds and I love it!!! This vehicle was built for fuel economy and safety so still be surprised at what you pay at the pump. I left Nissan for Toyota and couldn't have been happier!!!! If you have the money then upgrade and get a Mazda CX-5 or 30. If you want reliability for the next 20 years trouble free well remember this was modeled after the Corolla which is the best selling vehicle out there and a Toyota brand. Also stay away from the dealerships right now!!!!!

Beware L Packaging - Toyota Petty

Cross Lover Wareham Mass, 08/08/2023
2023 Toyota Corolla Cross L 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

I have a 2023 Cross L AWD that I picked up in late March and now has 11,000 miles. I love this vehicle! What amazes me the most is the fuel economy. I’m getting a consistent 34 mpg or so. I’m coming from a 2016 Scion iM that got 36 mpg. So to have this Cross get similar fuel economy for a vehicle much larger with AWD is nothing short of phenomenal. I chalk it up to the efficient low revving CVT transmission. I loved the CVT in the Scion, which has already gone 210,000 miles. I chose the Cross and it’s CVT over the RAV4 and it’s 8 speed auto, as I assumed correctly that the Cross fuel economy would come out on the high end of the EPA numbers. My fear was the RAV4 with its slightly larger chassis, bigger engine, and less efficient transmission would return fuel economy in the mid-20’s. That fuel economy difference adds up when you take a vehicle over 200,000 miles. The engine has plenty of power for me. The warnings about the low power just don’t ring true for me. I find it has typical Corolla power, efficiently getting the job done. I have even pulled a utility trailer loaded with 750 lbs of firewood with no issues. My biggest complaint is that Toyota can be so petty in how they packaged this L. I am especially pissed off that the “so called intermittent” wipers that are just a single constant delay intermittent, rather than a common sense variable intermittent. Toyota is so petty they could have added the intermittent feature and increased the price another $25. To torment us L owners like this, is unconscionable. Oh what a feeling in any light rain! The L also does not come with a rear washer/wiper. What would this have cost them? $150 max? So damn petty to the point of not even making sense. So beware if you are thinking of getting the L model. Toyota intends to torment you for your thriftiness. I’m a little concerned about the thousands of times over the life of this vehicle that I press that “cancel auto stop” button to turn off that incredibly annoying feature. I’m not sure that Toyota designed that switch to cycle on and off that many times. I’m also not a fan of the automatic parking brake. I’m wondering how much it’s going to cost me when that inevitably fails, when the servo no longer serves. I’m loving the Apple car play, although getting from it to Sirius XM is less than intuitive when Apple car play is locked in. I love the ground clearance and the AWD system has worked well. The sound system is good. I have experienced that road noise “living in a sub woofer” effect, but I quickly get used to it and it doesn’t seem to be all the time. The seats are typical Corolla seats. Not as comfortable on long trips as my sporty Scion iM seats. The Cross handles well and the ride is surprisingly smooth on bumpy roads. Basically I consider the Cross to be a 2/3rds sized RAV4 without the $5500 price premium and with better fuel economy. I see a lot of L’s, so Toyota is capitalizing on the value of this great vehicle.

Great intro Car if you leaning towards Crossovers

Overall, Edmund's is spot on with their review of the car. My wife and i decided to go with the LE, Red/with Sunroof Option. It was only a two week wait, so it was worth it. XLE was tempting but dealers are milking the unwanted extras hard and forcing you to pay way over cost, so the LE was our best bet. Overall, my wife loves the car and for her it feels luxurious compared to her 2018 Volkswagon Jetta. The interior is nice, but does indeed feel a bit dated, as does the back camera, and the touch screen. I can tell where they cut corners, so if you can live with that its not a big deal. The Engine is a bit overly noisy too. Some nice things, the ride is smooth and punchy. Lane assist is really helpful, cargo room is good for what you get. We alsos love that the LE gives you AC vents for the front and back. Apple Car play is great and intuitive. Nice amount of USB ports. One in front and two in the back. I am really happy with the Q wireless charging as well. This is important as being able to charge your phone wirelessly in an emergency is vital. 6 Speakers sound great, especially If you dig electronic dance music like I do. Bass sounds great and high mid range. But it has its limits. Go too loud, and you can start to hear it struggle a bit. My wife's one issue is that she feels the car is controlling!😉 it has a number of saftey features that keep you in line, even when you park. It is always beeping at her! I think its great, because i know how she drives and she needs it! She does adore the sun roof and it was worth the extra 950, which we think is a fair upgrade Price. Overall, it is a nice car and a great value and serves well as a mid high end commuter car. It will not rock your socks but its reliable. I do hope one day Toyota will take a playbook from Mazda and give more trim and feature options beyond Mazda CX 30 has over 8 different variations, giving customers a nice range to fit ones style and wallet. A Carbon Edition Toyota would be sweet, but alas will never happen probably. Oh well! Overall, we are pleased!
