Just bought an 09 Corolla. Immediately noticed wandering steering on the highway at greater than 60 mph. I heard that in some cases increasing tire pressure helps problem. Found out dealer had 40psi in tires when 30 is appropriate. I reduced to 30psi and it wanders more. Some people dont have problems with it, but some cars are coming off the line with this problem. Have to have 2 hands on the wheel. If you take one hand off the wheel to adjust the radio (particularly if in winds greater than 15 mph) you may find yourself going out of your lane. I scheduled an appointment with the dealer who claimed to know nothing of the issue. Its all over the internet and NTSB (25 complaints).
Loving it so far

Just bought an 09 Corolla LE with almost all the bells and whistles; includes remote keyless entry, ABS, and VSC. The car is very quiet and fit and finish is vastly improved over the outgoing model. The ride is on the softer side and not quite as sporty (or harsh) as the Nissan Versa rental I drove for a few weeks. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase.
More Bang For Your Buck

I've had my Corolla for two months now, it did 25.8 mpg city with a heavy gas hitter. The trunk has room for all my golf clubs and the split seat works well for my fishing rods. The placement of everything is logical accept the clock. The center console is a bit small along with the little compartment with the outlet. The plastic does scratch easily leaving marks. Everything feels solid nothing loose and feeling like it would break. The seating position can fit all, I'm 5'11 with long legs and it's really comfortable. If your looking for an economy car that gives you the most bang for the buck, this is it. A very big improvement from last year's model.

Just got the car on Tuesday. Didn't want a car but my truck doesn't get 30 mpg and I needed reliable and affordable for going back and forth to work. This is it! Haven't finished first tank of gas but it's already a winner as far as I'm concerned. Already have 200 miles on it and am nowhere near needing to fill up. This is an Automat. and i'm driving at 63- 65mph. Driving is comfortable and surprisingly quiet. Very easy to get in and out of. There is plenty of room in the trunk. Leg room is great in the front.
Great Car, Reliability??

Only had the car for 6 days and 340 miles. Car ride and handling is excellent at all speeds. Road and wind noise is not bad and acceptable. Bought the "S" model with the "SX" sport option. Great looks! Gas mileage 28 mpg combined city and highway. Hope it improves to 32-34 avg. Only on 2nd tank of gas and has away to go to be broken in. Very comfortable seats, roomy cabin frt and rear compared to the competition in its class. Reason questioning reliability, is the "trunk latch" failed. Used 10 times. Had to rope down trunk lid via the rear seat when laid down. Brought to dealer for repair. Latch on order. Hope this is not a sign of what's to come? Toyota reliability? Hoping it's just a fluke.
