Just bought this car, used, in St. Petersburg, FL. Had 173,00 miles on it, but runs perfectly. One owner, very well maintained. Obviously kept out of the Florida sun, so the finish is still excellent. Overall fuel economy appears to be about 30 mpg. I have owned Toyotas and Lexus in the past, and reliability remains the outstanding feature. Didn't discover until after I purchased the car that it didn't have cruise control, otherwise no issues.

I wish I had had the car checked out by my mechanic friend before buying. I spent way too much on this car thinking I'd finally have a reliable car only to have so many problems with this one!!! I'm so frustrated right now. The transmission just went out after already spending money on it to get it fixed up. It looks great like there's nothing wrong with it. I've only had it for three months. I'm so bummed that I wasted my money on a worthless car!! Please think twice about buying this car, especially not a 2009. Those apparently have the most problems. Little did I know.

2009 Corolla XRS Consumer Review

Reliability I will not rate due to only having it a few days. This is my 3rd corolla and they have been flawless in reliability so I pray it remains the case. The car is very fun to drive, sporty and practical on economy. Has good power off the line and plenty of power in reserve when driving. Drives solid, powerful, and quiet like a European car. I hope Toyota recalls the rumored transmission issue they knowingly sell the car with. I have heard about it and pray it's not true, but I hope Toyota remains in good standing by honoring a fix to any known issue. Otherwise, this boy won't be buying anymore cars from them. It could be nothing but do your homework and keep abreast of news about this
Good sporty little car

I purchased a 2009 Corolla XRS, 3 months ago. I like the car a lot, I drive at least 100 miles a day. I deliver for a living. I have had Toyota trucks in the past, and had nothing but good experiences with them. And decided to try a Corolla (a guy I work with has a 2003 Corolla with 220,000 miles with no breakdowns), thats one reason I went with the Corolla , don't like the space ship look of the Civic si. The only complaint I have with the Corolla, is the highway noise above 60 mph. Anybody else, have this complaint? Also, my left front tire is wearing, on the outside edge. Might be alignment, rotated tires and diffrent front tire doing same thing. Would Toyota cover alignment since I have less than 11,000 mls.
