I’m not impressed

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

The electric power steering produce vague steering feels, it is pretty comfortable and easy to drive at lower speed. On the highway it gets tossed around easily, very odd. Cruise control isn't included in the pricey XLE base price and it still uses plastic hubcaps whereas most of competitors use alloy wheels in their upper versions. Alarm system is activated at dealer for only $600.00! Brakes clank when it’s released at lower speed. Normal road vibration starting around 20 miles per hour creates dash noise and it squeeks, which get hided for wind noise around 55 miles per hour. At this point my only hope is the reliability and reputation of previous version remains on this 2009 model.

This is a great car. I am extremely happy with this car. I think the "road feel" is just fine. Anyway, I think the car is top quality, nice exterior, wonderful interior, great gas mileage, pleasant to drive in all circumstances. I am very pleased with this purchase.

After a lot of reasearch, I decided on the Corolla. I traded an '02 Altima and wanted something sporty and economical. I can't begin to tell you how impressed and happy I am with the Corolla. It drives very smooth at speeds of 70+. I don't know why "car experts" bash the driving experience. It does everything I want it to. You just have to remember it's not a race car, but it's great on the highway. Everything on the inside is within reach and easy to operate. I gotta tell you, when I drive it, I forget it's a Corolla, it really feels like much more. Great job Toyota!

Just bought the new 2009 corolla and am impressed with the leg room, and just took a highway trip to check gas mileage, and got 41.3 MPG with a automatic, Very impressive. And have noticed a big improvement on torque going up hills without it having to down shift. I highly recommend the 09 Corolla.

I just purchased the new 2009 Corolla LE over the weekend and I love it so far. The S model was too sporty for me so decided to get the LE model and it pretty much has everything I need such as power windows, power locks, a/c, keyless entry, etc. I was going to get the Yaris, but after test driving both vehicles, I noticed Corolla had more power and felt safer in the Corolla.
