I just traded my 2021 Corolla
I just traded my 2021 Corolla SE, which was made in Japan, for a 2022 Corolla SE Apex, that was made in Mississippi. There is no comparison. Despite the Apex being a more expensive model, the quality is no where near that of the 2021 Corolla that was made in Japan. The car was delivered out of alignment, the body panels don't fit together correctly, the radio sound is poor quality, the interior seat seams aren't stitched correctly, the tire sensor dash light doesn't work, and the worst of all, water collects in the doors when it rains. After researching, Toyota is aware of this issue and their official "fix" is to leave out the plugs at the bottom of the door so the water can drain out. Absurd. Water should not be collecting in the door panels in the first place. This is apparently an issue only present in the Toyotas made in the US, not Japan, And its is across many models not just the Corolla. Over time, the repeated water exposure is going to cause rust, mold, mildew and damage the electrical system. Save yourself the headache, if the Toyota wasn't made in Japan, DO NOT buy it.
