Question Corolla or Hyundai Ioniq ?

OK, I'm pretty much down to the wire now - do or GTFO
Corolla LE Hybrid vs Hyundai Ioniq SEL Hybrid

They're identical in virtually every spec. Just the size I want.
Price difference is more or less within a hundred.

Corolla: 1st-year Hybrid, made-in-JPN
Ioniq: unmatched 1st-owner warranty



While I never owned a Toyota the reputation is drummed in. But I'm totally unfamiliar with Hyundai. Just have the perception it has stepped up a lot in recent years.
Your input is appreciated, especially about Hyundai.

[ps] why not Honda Insight ? Honda seems to say "hey buy this engine...". It feels like 90% value of the Insight has gone into the tech/powertrain they just stamp out a shell to contain the engine.
Should have put into Civic, too big for me.

Toyota's been in the hybrid game for a long time, so there's that to consider.
IMO, the Corolla looks a bit better than the Ioniq on the exterior.

How long do you plan on keeping it?

Long ass time? Hyundai
Short ass time? Toyota

because resale value vs warranty.

Edit: Does the Corolla hatch come in hybrid? If yes then that one regardless because hatchback > *.

Kept the TSX for 15 years, so unless there's a reason for me to hate it I keep it.

Nah you (and I) wish LOL.

If it's 2009 I'd get this current one MT.

I read a YT comment saying Toyota sales told him that Hatch Hybrid is coming next year
I mean I can easily guess, soon Toyota will have a Hybrid version of all models

I voted Whiskers because I don't want to be stuck behind another one of either of them.
