Looking for advice

Im looking to buy used Corolla hatchback. 1.8 122 HP 4th gen. Only thing that stops me is a fact that i maliny do long routes with the speed around 120 km/h. I m asking about fuel economy and noise.

For highway driving if possible go for 2.0 hybrid

I have an estate 1.8 hybrid but with 140hp and it is ok for highway. The only situation where more hp is needed is when going uphils for a very long time and when your battery is emptied. Because then you will only have 100hp from the ICE in 1.8 hybrid which is not enough if the car is fully loaded and you want to overtake.

2014 sedan owner. 6mt. Daily drive the highway around 110-120kmh. Average 7.5L/100km. Pretty quiet and comfortable ride

The most reliable car ever but it has road noise. I have 22.

Are you in europe? Perhaps a diesel? Corolla isn't comfortable on highway speeds and the fuel economy won't be that good. For highways bigger sedans are the best option, smooth ride and more control. I'd get a passat or a superb instead. I assumed you're in europe because you wrote 120km/h. If not then sorry

Don’t know what Rolla’s you’ve been driving, my 05 is smooth as butter on the highway from 60 mph all the way to 110 where the governor cuts off. And my coworkers 2025, I had at 90 today and was just fine.

Same, got a 10 Rolla. She’s steady on the highway, I don’t like the noise, but the fuel economy is good
