The car gets great gas mileage and it's been dependable! Bought it with 119k miles. I've only had to replace: •The front left brake core(seized guide pin) •The brake master cylinder •The ABS pump •The 5 speed manual gearbox (1st gear) •The water pump •The vvt-i intake cam gear •The cylinder 2 rod bearing •Windshield fluid reservoir •The right cv shaft •The clutch release bearing •The front brakes again •The 5 speed gearbox again(3rd and 4th gear) •The cylinder 2 rod bearing again a month later •And lastly, the driver side mirror. Overall it's been a very reliable car since I bought it from Carmart a year ago. Been on top of maintainence

We love this car. I drive it to work 120 miles round trip. We drove the car from MN to Maine last summer. Car has always run great. It is not a sports car, but it is good reliable transportation.

Just what I needed

I love driving this car. Driving any vehicle is a privilege not a right, and driving the 09 corolla seems like an amazing privilege to me. Not the speediest car, but that's not what I'm looking for. I drive down and up a canyon five days a week and my avg. mileage is 37.5 to the gallon. Automatic lights, auxiliary plug for my iPod, volume and station controls on the steering wheel, room for a massage table in the trunk. Perfection. Sweet.

Great Car! A few problems though ...

This is without a doubt a great car! The ride is smooth and quiet, and I am averaging about 31 mpg on mostly highway miles. The transmission shifts great, and the JBL/XM radio/stereo is a blast. Oddly enough though, it ejects a CD and then shuts off once in a while for no reason. The dealer said that this could be caused by using colored or labeled CDs (makes sense), but this happens even when using the FM or XM radio too - weird. Also, the roof is leaking and during rain water is coming though the inside of the A pillars into the interior. But overall this is the best car I have ever owned and assuming they can fix the roof leak I will definitely buy a Toyota again.

This is a pretty nice car. I bought this car because the predicted reliably. It is pretty fun to drive. The best improvements from the 08 is the remote is built into the key and has a button to open the trunk. also it can calculate the MPG. It has a little more horse power not much but noticable. The stereo sounds much better than 08. It is one of the most reliable small cars in history, that's why I bought it. My only complaint is it is only available in sedan.
