Replying to: mcdawgg (Mar 19, 2008 4:19 am) But these innovations are still in the early stages and much must be learned from real-world reactions. The ECTi and ETCi and EPS and VVTi all need to be perfected model by model. I can see where there might be an artificial resistance programmed into certain vehicles to simulate hydraulic/mechanical steering whereas others such as the plush cruisers and basic commuters might just be left as-is. After all the Corolla is basically a $17000 appliance to get from A to B, safely, time after time after time. |

Replying to: mitcheel (Mar 19, 2008 3:51 am) * "Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) with Traction Control (TRAC) is a new feature" for 2009. I thought VSC was available on the previous-gen Corolla? * "A new 158-horsepower DOHC 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is available for the 2009 model." Isn't the 2.4L engine carryover from the Camry et. al.? * "All-new 2009 Toyota Corolla and Matrix will be the first Toyota brand vehicles to offer XM Radio as a factory-equipped feature." Really? Other Toyotas e.g. Avalon, Sienna, Camry didn't offer XM radio before the Corolla did? I find it hard to believe Toyota would be so late to the game with XM radio. |

Replying to: backy (Mar 19, 2008 4:01 pm) Yes, the 2.4l engine is the Camry's but it's new to the Corolla. VSC and leather were available in the last generation. Trying to find one was another story.  Mack

Replying to: backy (Mar 19, 2008 4:01 pm) XM radio is a new factory installed feature on Corollas with JBL stereo. On other Toyotas, XM is dealer installed.

Replying to: jaxs1 (Mar 19, 2008 8:40 pm)  I am really surprised there was no Toyota before the 2009 Corolla to offer factory XM radio.

I purchased Corolla S 2009 and while waiting for the delivery (vehicle was ordered from the factory), I found out that the OEM tires BRIDGESTONE TURANSA EL 400 according to tire rack survey wearing out at 15 000 miles. The comfort and noise is unbearable and tire perfomance ratings in wet, dry and winter condition is poor. I would like to get BRIDGESTONE TURANSA SERENITY OR MICHELIN HARMONY and would like to know if it is possible to negotiate this change with the dealership after the Purchase Agreement was sign. I don't mind to pay the difference in price. Is it possible to do it? Does anybody has experience in tnis matter? I will appreciate any advice.
