09 Corolla XRS

2009 Toyota Corolla XRS 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

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.

This is a Corolla, but it looks sportier than previous model. Personally, I like to to look like a Corolla S which got a 1.8L powerplant - i.e. people will think that they can easily pass me. My XRS usually surprises people driving an Integra who think they can overtake me from stop (except they brutally cut into line, then I give up). It got tremendous torque for such a small car. However, it does come with a price - the gas mileage isn't great at all. Besides, the suspension is a bit too stiff. You can feel every manhole cover and every uneven spots on the road - a bit annoying. Aside from that, it is a nice little car - storage is great and interior feels spacious.

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.
Wish I had my Camry back

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

My '07 Camry LE was wrecked and not the same after being repaired, so bought this Corolla. MPG is excellent, but the interior is cheap, with hard plastic everywhere. Center console has uncomfortable hard plastic to rest your elbow on. The car handles well in the snow with the traction control. Outside/wind noise is quite apparent at times. In spite of these complaints, it's a very good little car and I'd buy another one if I had to, but wish I had my Camry back. The Camry was luxurious compared to this Corolla. This car sits low, making it hard for me to get out of, even with the seat elevated as high as it will go. This car will run 70+ mph on the interstates without batting an eyelash.
Tall & uncomfortable

I just purchased a 2009 Toyota Corolla S and being 6' 3" there are few things that are making my ride uncomfortable. There is a foot rest for your left foot (drivers side) that juts out bending your leg into an uncomfortable position. Also, because I have the seat all the way back and at it's lowest position the weight of my legs is falling on the heel of my foot making my hour commute to and from work everyday a bit uncomfortable. I regret purchasing this car only for the comfort reason. Everything else is fine. I sure a shorter person would be very comfortable in the car but I'm not.
