Rattling Noise, MPG not up there

2009 Toyota Corolla LE 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

I've had my Corolla for one year now and have driven it approx. 7,000 miles. I enjoy the car overall but there are some things that really annoy me about it. The panels for the side curtain airbags rattle and it annoys the bejesus out of me. It comes and goes. I have also recently noticed some more rattling noise (again, comes and goes) from the back area of the car. The gas mileage I get driving around the city isn't as good as advertised. It appears to be more like 25 for city driving and 30-33 on the highway. This was my first economy car. Being 6'3, I fit pretty comfortable in this vehicle. The engine is very quiet and has some quickness for being a 4 banger.
Have I bought a lemon?

We purchased a 2009 Toyota Corolla LE May 31, 2008. At about 2000 miles the VSC Light came on flashing. Took it back to dealer and they could not find anything wrong. The light came back on and it started to spit and sputter and die for no reason around 3000 miles. Took it back to dealer and they replaced the Mass Air Flow Sensor and cleared the codes again. Was driving it again and slowed down to turn a corner and it died for no reason. It currently has 4500 miles on it and the dealer has had it for a week. They called and said they are ordering a new wiring harness which is supposed to fix the problem. I'm now wondering what will be next.
Great run around car

Purchased car to save mileage, have SUV for winter time, needed car to run errands. 10,000 miles and getting 35 mpg still. Great on 2 hr road trips. Comfortable and easy to park downtown or at mall.
Good dependable commuter car

Have been reading a lot of posts about how bad the Corolla is. Well, one needs to remember that it is not a Camry. Have always had a camry (v6) and corolla...one for the highways, power and comfort and one for the daily fuel efficient commute. If one keeps the corolla long enough, they WILL realize how cheap the overall maintenance is in the long run. Yes, the quality has dipped some on the interior. Guess to keep the price the same and still have to improve the drive train, toyota had to cut corners, which is sad. My 2000 corolla had better interior than this one.
Love my Corolla

The Corolla XLE is a great car. I have been getting 36 mpg in stop and go traffic. Highway mileage as been 47 mpg with the AC off and driving between 55-60 mph.
