I have (had) a 2017 Corolla SE. Yup, piggy. No question. A turbo will not help, because they need time to spool up, and that is not the problem with the CVT. The engine produces reasonable power once the valves kick in (@ 4500 rpm). But the low speed gearing is wrong. My solution was to get a 2020 Corolla SE. It has a 2 liter engine and a physical first gear in the CVT. The low speed performance is much better. I am not sure what a person can do with the 2019 CVT and previous models, as they all suffer the same issue, from what I understand. Maybe a chip? Smaller tires to improve the gearing? Not sure.
