Good car. Car is comfortable and rides very nice. good interior and trunk space. tire pressure warning light has come on twice in three months. Brought car back to dealer to have tire checked. They couldn't find any problems and said this is a normal warning. Not completely satisfied with answer.

Excellent Econo Car!

Purchased the car in September and already have over 1200 miles on it. Purchased it for the great gas millage and low price but I agree with other reviews that it is a very basic car and some of the features were poorly thought out like the center armrest and the clock. However for the money this is a great car. It takes some getting use to the electronic power steering but for a 1.8 liter engine there is lots of pep in this car. I am averaging 33.5 MPG so far and overall am pleased with the purchase. The best news was that the dealer was extremely anxious to deal on price – way better price then the TMZ price. In addition, the zero percent financing sealed the deal!

Good Car, but Needs Minor Improvements

Traded an 04 Corolla CE for the 09 Corolla LE. Overall, I have been impressed with the performance of the car, fuel economy, and exterior design. Averaging 34.5 mpg in mixed city/highway driving. I have 1800 miles on the car, and the volume knob on the radio stopped working today for some reason. I visited the dealership and they ordered a new radio without hesitating.

Old man's car

I was looking for an old man's car when I bought this one. From that perspective I couldn't be happier. I've got a dealership installed leather option called a Platinum package. The electric power steering is reminiscent of the old (50's) luxury cars and I love it! One finger steering at idle! I only have 1700 miles on it but am seriously impressed. The lack of styling is disappointing, reminds me of a '51 Willys sedan, but I didn't buy it to impress anyone. The interior is comfortable and quiet. I had a 2008 rental for a couple of weeks, and this is much better (I wouldn't have bought a 2008 model. I've had 2 Toyotas, a 1970 Corona MKII and a 1987 pickup. They were both rock solid reliable.

Awful Quality and Rattling

Rattling comes from the dashboard, seat belt housing, and back panel! Extremely annoying! Toyota Corp. Representative said that this is a normal operation in Corolla even this is not a base model trim! Despaired by Toyota!
