I've owned many toyotas, and traded in a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid to but the new LE Corolla. Why did I do this. Close to the same gas mileage, more fun to drive and about 1/3 lower payment. First, I helped a friend by one, then a girl I dated, liked it so much I got one myself. Definitely a high value purchase, solid on the road, maneuverable, and low cost to operate, considering gas mileage and inexpensive tires. I feel this car is the best for the $ out there.

I purchased our XLE in April of 2008. The whole family loves the car from my 18 year old son, 19 year old daughter to 48 year old parents. The kids really enjoy the MP3 and iPod capability, push button start, automatic lights, and general style of the car. As parents we really are enjoying the gas mileage, comfort, and quiet ride of the car for the price. The car definitely delivers value for money. The car has no problem cruising at 70 mph on highways and with four drivers it is on the road continuously. Would definitely purchase this auto again.

Owned 2 months, getting constant 33-36 mpg in mixed driving, just took 1500 mile road trip and am amazed at the 41.5 overall return at 75-80 mph, glad I waited for 09, 08 seemed too uncomfortable without telescopic wheel, nice ride plenty of pep, suits every need I have.

I Love it!

Was going to get a Yaris sedan. My wife just got one and I really liked it, but there nowhere to be found. Glad I tried this baby. I traded in My 2001 Mustang that was in great shape, but the winters are getting tough for me to drive and also gas prices so it was a tough thing. But it took me 2 days of driving this car and I love it, not quite the pickup the mustang had but who cares. The steering that people are complaining about is touchy but you do get used to it, no biggie to me. I love the look both inside and out (Black pearl). MPG avg is 41 mostly highway but a little mix

Gas miser

Had an 08 and put 27000 on it, but the 09 is so much better. We just got back from a trip down to SC. and I averaged 39 mpg @ 65 to 70 mph. I am tall and had no complaints about comfort. I even like the electric steering now that I am used to it. The one thing I do not like about it is the special tool I need to remove the oil filter for doing my own oil changes.
