2009 Toyota Corolla Reviews

The new 2009 Corolla is a car I just can't like. It to me is a symbol of all the things that are wrong with Toyota now. I gave it an average style rating because truthfully its just a downgraded Camry so its not pretty nor ugly, pretty boring actually.

So why is the rating so low, is it the reliability? No since none of these have given me a problem. Fuel economy? Definitely not, its actually very good. Quality? Not exactly since the build quality on the cars at least coming from Cambridge is excellent. I must say though the quality of the plastics in this car are quite cheap, scratch easily and feel cheap despite being coloured nicely.

Its actually how the car drives which really turned me off. The power on this car...slightly better than the 2003-2008 version but not noticeable. The handling...same problem as last time not too good and still has a lot of body roll. The worst thing from this car is...the electronic power steering. The system put into this 2009 Corolla is so overboosted, there is no feel to it. You cannot sense whether your going straight or drifting off into another lane. Buicks normally have this problem but even they have not designed a steering system so lifeless. This is definitely not a drivers car, it will never be fun. The problems from the last car still occur, only this time the car is far more boring to drive.

This might be a great car for people who only think dollars when it comes to cars but I suggest a Yaris if your stick with Toyota. I love driving...but if all cars drove like this...I'd find my commutes the least fun part of my day instead of being the most fun.

Steering Control system - I can't keep the car in my lane at Hwy speeds. Toyota checked my car and they find nothing wrong. I am worried I will have a crash but they say the feedback issue is normal for the Corolla 2009.

working late at my dealership, I managed to grab the first 09 corolla to roll off the truck.  At first glance I thought it was a shortened version of the camry with it's new stubed nose, but after driving it I was very happy with the results that the new corolla engine produced which is the new 2ZR 1.8.  Although I will always miss the 2ZZ with the 6 speed

this car is awesome i like everything it had. Specially its exterior is mind blowing. good mileage and specially the sound system is perfect.

i only dislike its silver door panel which colour had faded as it was of bad quality used by toyota rest of it ROCKS!!!

Way better than the previous oNE..the Brakes, the looks, the performance..the acceleration..awl is much better than the previous models ranging from 2003-2007..a must drive car for awl the toyota fans..
when will this end :S..?
