Not So Good

I purchased our new 2009 Corolla to do some extensive traveling. We find the car excellent in the city, but on the highway it is terrible. The car is uncomfortable - seats, armrests, lumbar support, left foot positioning, blind spots. The worst problem is a vibration at highway speeds that the dealership says is normal. We are so disappointed in our new Corolla and are considering dealing it at only 3000 kilometers.
Nice Car

Have had the car for 2 weeks. So far it has been good. Also own a Pontiac Vibe which is the same power train. Great gas mileage. Quiet inside. Steering is very touchy. No rubbernecking while driving, or you will find yourself in an other lane or riding on the sidewalk. Constant correction is needed to stay in your lane.
Good Car so far at only1050 miles total.

Since our 99 'Civic was totaled while stopped at a red light, I decided to look around at other brands of cars: After examining everything on the market, I bought a new 09' Corolla LE. Why? Toyota's reputation for reliability is seldom matched, and competing brands weren't outstanding. It's a solid feeling car that performs as well or better than almost any other economy vehicle. The mileage is superb: with about a half-and-half mix of heavy town traffic and mountain driving, it has averaged 35.8 MPG! Much better than advertised. I don't shove my foot through the gas pedal, but it keeps up with traffic just fine. The "Hot Car" magazines may pan it, but average drivers will be happy.
My First Toyota is Great

38.9 MPG. Do I need to say anything else? I travel 30,000 highway miles annually and since purchasing the 2009 in July of 2008, the LE is providing great fuel economy, reliability, technology and above average comfort. The only design flaw is the lack of proper location of arm rests for the drivers seat. This really comes in play on the highway; not as much in the city. Suggestion: If you log the high miles, purchase the bumper-to-bumper package. For the additional $700.00 it will pay itself off in the off-chance this Toyota has a major mechanical failure.

Best car I've bought in a long time

2009 Toyota Corolla S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5M)

I've owned just about every car made over the years. I needed a car that got great fuel economy and didn't look like an egg going down the road. The Corolla S looks great, runs great, and I average over 40 mpg on the freeway with my 70+ mile commute every day. The new 2009 interior is comfortable on the long drives, much better than the 2008. I like just about everything about the car and the price was more than fair for something that I know will last me over 200k miles with no problems.
