2009 Toyota Corolla Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This car actually gets up & goes. :) So far, 3 recalls, but is an excellent car. I love the sport interior. :) Gets 31.2 mpg average. I have a great time driving this car & taking on long trips. I highly recommend Toyota.

The first thing I noticed about this car I really dislike, is the gear shift. Between Drive and 3rd you are a simple bump away, it does not lock into Drive. So if you have a large passanger or a child they could easily down shift you at the wrong time. Other than that in the first 24 hours I am very happy with the purchase.

Cost of ownership is excellent because it is very frugal with fuel. Toyota build quality is second to none. I live 8 hours from the nearest dealer and I am so sure that I will not have trouble that this fact is not a problem. The styling is rather coservative. the performance is not spectacular but is definitely sufficient. I would prefer a standard shift for the fun factor but my wife's arthritis prevents me from indulging this preference.

Great little economical vehicle. I traded in my Tundra, which I loved, to save on gas. It's gotten me around town in sporty style especially after I added the leather. Have never had a mechanical issue. Actually fun to drive around and I laugh at all the gas guzzlers as I cruise past the gas stations.

love my new car should have sacraficed the gas and gotten the XRS 2.4 L but still love my S 1.8 L would have gotten a little more pick up to the acceleration. For my S i get 27/35 . Love this car!!

acceleration could be better with a much bigger engine, but then the mpg would obviously get worse, the brakes are amazing, handles very well, no squeaks/rattles, looks amazing and sporty, low maintenance cost, and its just really fun to drive

Solid as a rock - no problems at all in almost a year, not bad looking for a four-door family car, lots of room for stuff and legs, cheap to run, comfy, not the most exciting to drive but great family vehicle.

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.

Coming from a SUV to a car, was a big change, but I love the corolla, it runs great, and is just an overall amazing car. Could use a little more power though.

Great car but bit overpriced for how the vehicle is

It's a bit of a rare find from what I've been told, it's a 5 speed! One minor recall that took a whamping 30 minutes to perform. Love the looks of the car, very sleek/stylish! MPG's are awsome: 24-32 in city (depending on what gear I choose)/ 34-40 on hwy. Over all a very fun car, couldn't ask for a better or more fun "family" car.

Its a speedy car with royalty! Its comfortable to drive and it has excellent Braking, Acceleration and a handling System! Its interior system gives a royal comforting look and its exterior Styling challenger Honda City, Civic and Liana, and several other cars. This car is handy in drifting, speed racing and stunts.its Audio System supports usb cable connected to a compatible device. It has a huge carriage facility.Its AC and heater both are well and nice! GLI

Relating to Pakistani cars its 2009 performance is very good its evry thing its brakes ,engine ,its body etc. The build quality is very good not so hard and not so much week .Its appearance is very stylish and comfortable.

Its a nice ride, with immense power, good for handling and the best Mid-range Sedan in this category which is affordable. It can be made more stylish by addin outer accessories and also on performance packs too !! Hell a smooth ride !!

Accelerates good especially after 100 km/h, top speed is over 190 km/h, brakes are way better than previous Corolla and handles great. Didn't need much repairs till now except that i had to install a new wheel bearing, don't know why and just change air filter every month, going to install intake this week. Fuel consumption is very less. Exterior is very nice, especially the LED rear lights and the Black Side View Mirror with Indicator. Interior looks a little cheap because of plasticky material but very comfortable and easy. The car is really nice and comfortable to drive, i use it for extreme driving and had no problems till now, except that the original 'Euro Star' tires had a very bad grip.

Extremely responsive, great gas mileage, averaging about 30.5 to 33 MPG. Not bad interior. No need to replace the seats, already pretty sporty. Sound system is okay, needed to get the JBL package, but not availabe on the S, you have to get the XLE. A bit on the heavy side, but the 1.8L actually moves it pretty good.

Reliable brand,good features,Especially the steering.Love corollas all around. Best car.

Cargo Capacity is too small. Performance on the high way is much better than expected. The maintenance and parts are very cheap. I just replaced, the from tires, front breaks + completed detailing for less than $ 300. The air condition is excellent ( very cold). My wife loves it as it is easy to handle and control on the road.

Great on gas. Has a very quite cabin. Appropriately priced. The brakes are not the best in the world. Needs more horsepower. The sports trim is the only one with more than 1.8L engine but it costs more than entry level Camry.

It's a good looking car, I get compliments almost every day. Not bad on gas either. I get about 24 mpg the way i drive. Could get better mileage tho. It is pretty quick and fun to drive. Has the same engine as the scion tc and 4 cylinder model toyota camry. more horsepower than the base mitsubishi lancer and honda civic. wish more perfomance parts were available but its still a fun car.

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

I like this car a lot and would not get rid of it accept there is not enough interior room for a rear facing car seat behind the front seats, The person in front of the carseat only has 8 to 12 inches of knee space

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!!!

The car is almost has high as a SUV, acceleration is pretty good for a Toyota, but the CD sometimes does not play some Discs, or the Discs get Jammed in the player,I do wish this problem can be taken care of. Apart from that it is a lovely car.

Good fun car, plenty of power for its size but still gets really good gas millage.

First Model year of this gen Corolla and seemed to have a slew of issues, if youre looking for a used Corolla I would suggest the 2010/2011 most issues were fixed by then.

It's a lot more fun to drive than our SUV and averages approximately 29 MPG currently. We're taking it on a freeway road-trip soon so hopefully that average will go up significantly. With gas prices over $4/gallon right now that is very helpful.

Well I like the fact that it has the camry's 2.4L engine and it gives great gas mileage. I just didnt like the fact that Toyota could have done more to make it a much better car to have fun with!

Performance - it runs like a 6cyl i love it Build Quality - its built well i guess. except the air duct under the passengerside dashboard keeps falling out-_- Appearance - i love it. its metallic blue the interior is black and tan with blue and silver accents, i know that sounds weird but its just cuz im bad at discribing Cost of Ownership - its like $20 a week for gas Fun Factor - its actually really fun to drive, and half the time your going a lot faster then you realize=)

nice braking.steering regular.suspension good. Build Quality - yes,,u know toyotass! Appearance - front bumper,grill,interior.don"t like the rear bumper. Cost of Ownership - minimum.. gas mileage 32mpg on Manual transmission . Fun Factor - sure I have fun every day! every minute i'm on it,and i'll keep the upgrades.

The thing I dislike the most about my car is the fact that it does not look as sporty as I would like it to be. Not as quick as my previous cars. Although I do like the gas mileage.

this car will last for ever the gas milage is great the upkeep is cheep it looks good and drives well the only thing is its slow as hell and it well its just slow as dirt but wtf im a dad.

performance---mdiocre at speed in its class. braking is reliable enough, hadling is perfect build quality is good, appearence is awesome, best in its class, gas mileage is very nice, fun factor is alright, hadling at high speed is awesome

The soft music of a powerful engine combined with the stability makes you feel unity with its metal, simply I wanna drive it forever.... simple but i like it and if you drive it fast you will see but not very fast lol

the car is awesome there is no problem in it is luxuries and sporty type .i would preferthis car than any other toyota model. its the best shape of the toyota corrola yet.buy this car and you will love it

performance is good acceleration is excellent braking and handling too, build quality is good never require any thing but normal service is enough, Appearance is good looks like younger sister of Camary. Gas mileage is good comparing to other cars in this segment but fast moving spare pearts are expensive like side mirrors. i like to drive this car

Its a great car,, looks nice, moves smooth , cost so little to maintain. easy to handle and not complicated like the other new cars Fuel Economy. you can drive from Jax to Miami for 30$. Have a great A/C system.
