2009 Toyota Corolla S
This is my second toyota corolla and i have alway loved toyota and could not see myself buying anything else. Well this car has changed that opinion and my next car will not be a toyota. This 2009 has had the whole A/C replaces, cam shaft gear, starter and the car still has problems starting. My corolla only had 56,000 miles. Total cost of repairs under warranty is over $9,000Â . beware of the 2009 year.
Not bad...
I've had mine for 1,800 miles so far. I'm getting a combined avg. of 35+ mpg and over 40mpg on the highway already. I don't mind the clock like some others on here have complained about. I'm not a fan of electric steering boxes in any car, and it took me about a week to get used to this one, but I don't have any problems with it now. I'm 6'4", and although head and shoulder room are great I wouldn't mind an extra 1-2" or legroom up front. The dead pedal is nicely placed and angled well though. This isn't the most exciting car I've ever owned, but acceleration is adequate and fuel economy is great. This is a really good and practical commuter car.

Just OK Car
Having driven and owned almost all Toyota models, I can definitely say this compact car is just OK. The exterior looks great but the interior lacks the quality I've had with my previous Toyotas, cheap plastics. The small multi-information display is not helpful at all being placed awkwardly in the dashboard. The Electronic Steering is kind of a little stiff and the car sometime drifts in strong winds but got used to it after 1K miles. Runs smooth & very quiet, you just have to downshift if you want to outrun other cars in the Hway. Got a lot of compliments from other people but overall, I'm happy with my purchase considering the economy. Will keep this car for a long time and will enjoy it!
09 Corolla XRS
Picked the Corolla for several reasons. Familiar with Toyota quality and reliability. Car looks awesome! Super White looks fantasic. The 2.4L performs well and is quiet, handles very well and is a blast to shift through the gears. Very smooth and easy to drive and all controls are placed well in the cabin. Build quality seems very good at this point. Time will tell.
2009 Corolla XLE
I love this new body style on the Corollas. I decided to get this over the Prius at the last minute and saved a ton of money and I'm not one bit sorry. The ride in this car is very smooth and handles the road well. I feel safe with all the great safety features it comes with, and the 10 airbags protect everyone that's in the car. Gas mileage is wonderful. I'm averaging 38 mpg. The car has a long list of standard features and they are all good. All told, it's a GREAT value for the money. I'm a first time Toyota owner and I'm very very pleased with this car. It's a keeper for sure.
