2009 Toyota Corolla consumer reviews

mother purchased Base model im only 15 and ride in it at lease 2 or 3 times a day. the front seats are very uncomfortable. the radio never has reception (probably because our city is pretty much a bowl). in the winter with more than two inches of snow on the ground the car will not move! the tiers will only spin. on top of that the engine is Powerless. takes forever to get up to speed on the highway. my mom pushes the RPM's up to 4 and 5 and the car still does not move. when running the A/C when we turn it off we smell strong smell of Gasoline. nothing on the car. Crank Windows and No cruise control, no moon roof (not too worried about that). it will veer if you do not have Full attention on the road.

Purchased my first brand new car, the 09 Toyota Corolla Sport at the end of April 2009. I was rear ended and shoved into another car in July 2009. The Corolla was totalled due to the extensive damage of being pushed into another car. I received $2,000 more than what I actually paid for this car. This car holds it's value and you don't loose 30% of the value when you drive it off the lot. Waiting for my loan to show as paid in full and then back to the dealership for a 2010 Corolla! Would recommend to anyone!

I was in a 40 MPH side collision accident today and this vehicle saved my life. It rolled over onto the top of the vehicle and because I had my safety belt on I came out of the accident unscratched,just a little rattled. I would recommend this vehicle to anybody who likes being safe.

The 09 carolla is a good all around car with a great history of reliability.Gas milage can be as good as 30 city and 40 highway.If you like small cars,this is the one.

I LOVE THIS CAR!IT HOLDS EVERYTHING I NEED AND THEN SOME. IT'S ROOOMY, ICE-COLD A/C, QUICK HEAT, GREAT STEREO, GOOD PICK-UP FOR FREEWAY PASSING, EVEN THE BACKSEAT IS NICE TO RIDE IN.

If you looking for a sports car, then the Corolla is not for you, but if you want a car that's dependable, reliable, great gas milage, decent ride, value for your money, easy on insurance and police radar, then the Corolla is your car, I bought the "S" trim to get the leather steering wheel with audio control/fog lights/sports seats, I didn't buy the "S" to drive "fast and furious" so I didn't mind the numb steering and the family sedan like handling. You owe it to yourself to check out the Corolla before buying the Civic or the Mazda3.

I have had no problems with the steering. Gets great gas mileage. I did have a problem with the keyless entry not working but the dealer replaced a part. Side mirror button is hard to reach.

My steering sometimes get out of control.The dealer noticed it but can't do anything until there is a firmware fix.

Earned 1000 miles on my 2009 Corolla S in just a month after I got it from the dealer with 0 miles. I've read that the S does have a bit stiffer chasis than the other models except for the XRS. It is fun to ride and drive and my royal blue beauty fits the S ptofile - front, side, rear skirts, spoiler and fog lamps. Quiet cabin. Good cornering and highway comfort. Superb snow/icy traction and feels solid. Roomy interior. Premium JBL sound with XM satellite and blue tooth came standard with the S model.

I sold my BMW and bought the Toyota for economic reasons. The ride is good, quiet and very comfortable. Gas Mileage is awesome. Going from a BMW to the Toyota was an easier transition that I would have expected. I agree with one of the other review, the electronic steering is poorly designed. On the highway, the car weaves all over the road and you are constantly ever so slightly correcting. Took it into the shop and they said that that is the way the car is. Given that, I still would recommend the car.
