Pros: What do you like about 2009 Toyota Corolla?
Headlights super bright.
Great gas mileage.
Comfortable for a little car.

Cons: How would you improve 2009 Toyota Corolla?
Brakes are weird.
Steering is strange too.
I got rid of the factory tires. I think they are horrible.
The new tires make it drive better.

Great car overall. I have 80,000 miles on it and have had 0 problems.
I hated the factory tires. Got new ones and car drives 100% better.

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Toyota Corolla?
Great gas mileage for 2.4L.
Low-end torque, acceleration and top end speed(XRS).
Solid construction & safety features (stability control) & anti theft & 5 speed AT.

Cons: How would you improve 2009 Toyota Corolla?
Steering feel not as bad as a regular Corolla but it's still really bad.

Hard plastic interior finish means no comfortable place to rest your elbows which is a major pain on longer trips.

2009 Toyota Corolla Review:
There's much less body roll in my XRS than other Corolla models, but it's the same Toyota drive by wire steering, which is just no fun at all. XRS has super low end torque, 2.4L gets great gas mileage vs. performance, the car accelerates quickly and tops out at over 210 km/hr., but unfortunately the steering feel denigrates all the other positive aspects of this car. I've driven this car for a year now without a single mechanical problem. Very good car except the steering feel takes the fun out of driving it.

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Toyota Corolla?
Gas mileage.
Seat comfort and position.
Controls.
Double glove box.
Trunk space.

Cons: How would you improve 2009 Toyota Corolla?
Put a clock on the radio display so I don't have to look at FM-1 channel 6 on the display. The placement of the clock by the odometer can't be seen by the passenger.
Outside body moldings to protect the doors.

2009 Toyota Corolla Review:
Overall the 2009 Corolla handles well. The controls are within easy reach and the driving position is good. The steering is good but the gas pedal requires a somewhat heavy touch on starting from stop which results in a faster start than I would like. The brakes are not as responsive as I would like.

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Toyota Corolla?
I love everything about it! The automatic headlights are really cool. I also like the 6 cd player. Great mileage--40 on the highway and 29 in the city. The two glove boxes are a nice feature. Just everything is nice.

Cons: How would you improve 2009 Toyota Corolla?
Automatic seat adjustment would be a nice added feature.

2009 Toyota Corolla Review:
I bought this car in May--wanted a Prius but dealership was out and the Prius was going for over the sticker price. So, I test drove the Corolla and really liked it. On the highway, you get almost the mileage of a Prius. I have the S model in Barcelona Red. It is really a cute car and has all the bells and whistles I wanted.

2009 Toyota Corolla Review:
This is my second Corolla and I was a fan due to the reliability and high value, and the new 2009 is even better -- interior feels more spacious and bright with new design.
