Replying to: raychuang00 (Apr 13, 2008 7:28 pm)  The 1998-2002 Corolla was a nice car, smooth and quiet for its time and without the driving position problem of its successor. But it had a really tight back seat, which struck it off my list when I bought a small car in 2000. The 2009 is improved there, still not near the best in class but better. And as we know, large discounts are already available.

Replying to: backy (Apr 13, 2008 9:54 am) 1993-1997 was best in class and while Corolla has never been bad since, it has not impressed vs. the competition as the 1995 did since that 1993-1997 generation. I would love to see a wagon offered in the 2009 version. I'm not too fond of the Matrix styling and the plastic hatch floor area of the Matrix. |

Replying to: mcmanus (Jan 27, 2008 3:58 am) Check this review. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhcQKtnfrkw It is an asinine design. It wouldn't have been quite as bad if you could cycle through the displays with steering wheel controls, but you can't even do that. I had to stick my hand through the steering wheel to reach the little push stalk to switch the outputs. Very awkward and unsafe to change the display while driving. Even peering through the steering wheel to check the time on the little, tiny LCD is awkward even if you always leave it set on the clock and give up viewing outside temp and other functions. Why the clock wasn't put into the radio if they they didn't want to have a dedicated clock display (like the Camry) is anybody's guess. |

First impression from the 30 minute drive home. Smooth and roomy. Felt like my 1994 Camry LE. Which by the why my daughter owns it now with 150,000 miles. If anyone is considering buying now you get some great deals. Mine was had for $2269.00 under MSRP plus 0% for 3 years. I also test drove the 2008 Civic LX. Sportier look but not as comfortable or quiet as the Corolla. 1994 Camry LE 2009 Corolla LE Wheel Base 103.1 inches 102.4 inches Overall Length 187.8 inches 178.7 inches Width 69.7 inches 69.3 inches Height 55.1 inches 57.7 inches Curb Weight 3086 lbs. 2745 lbs. Keep you posted. |
