Doesn't matter what area of the country. If you are anywhere in the US except Hawaii, it would have paid you to somehow get to Fitzmall and take their $2600 discount on their typical S and drive it home. 2.9% for 60 months makes this car a great deal.

The clock was super annoying even though I only had the car for a few days.
 
Check this review.

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.

I have been looking online for some heavy duty car mats. I can't find any for 2009 Corolla. Does anyone know if the 2008 Mats will fit.
 
Thanks.

I am sure Toyota has all-weather mats available, which are good. The other good ones are Weather-Tech, but I am not sure they are available yet, since the '09 is all-new.

Sorry to butt in, but I just wanted to say I can vouch for the rear seating on the 8th generation. If I had to sit back there all the time I wouldn't be able to stand it for long. For me, though, being the sole occupant most of the time when I wasn't ferrying Mother to dialysis, it was - and is - the perfect-sized compact car, especially for a single person. And you'd be surprised how many houseplants fit back there.
 
I do praise No. 9 for having a higher seating position, though. Easier on the back and feels less like a coupe, in my opinion.

One dealer told me they wouldn't fit because the whole body style has been changed. Are you looking for heavy duty rubber mats, or carpeted mats.They are out there for 2009.. My car came with the front, back, and cargo carpeted mat. I intend to buy a set of clear plastic mats to go over those to preserve them, especially in the wet seasons.
 
This place has a pretty good line up of 2009 accessories, including carpet and rubber mats.

Also look on ebay. Just do a search for 2009 Toyota Corolla and it will take you to ebay motors. I've seen all kinds of mats there. If you don't see them the first time, keep checking. There are new deals everyday.
 
Here's another place that has mats and other accessories:

If you want a spoiler the best place to go is:
 
http://www.spoilersource.com
  
They match the factory color and it's free shipping and no tax. I am very happy with mine and they were a good deal.
 
Whatever you buy check several sites, and compare price and shipping charges.

Hi Mackabee, i have a question for you since you work in a dealer, I bought my new 09 corolla and they installed a third party (AST) remote start / alarm which worked well in the first 2 weeks but started to over crank the engine after that, I asked the dealer so he referred me to the third party person who installed the system, i called him and asked him to remove the system from my car , he did. when i went back to the dealer asking for a refund he wouldn't give me and he want to install another third party system? they charged me $900 for that alarm - a rip off what should I do? Thanks\

Oh echo you didn't!! I keep saying, don't buy third party alarms/remote engine starters. If something goes wrong and it causes other parts of your car to malfunction Toyota may not cover the repair.
900 bucks is a lot of money. You shouldn't spend more than 3-6 hundred for such a system.
The Corolla has a factory/dealer installed optional remote engine starter for 529.00 MSRP. I would talk to the service manager and ask them to install the factory one and refund you the difference. If that doesn't work then talk to the customer relations manager at the dealership. If they don't have one then call 1-800-GO-TOYOTA and have them open up a case number. Tell them what happened and what you want done. They will contact the dealership and someone will call you to make things right. If you haven't received the survey yet than hold it over their heads and tell them if you don't get any satisfaction TMS USA will hear about it. Surveys have gotten to be at the top of the list for dealerships as they affect everyone in the pocket book. Let us know how it goes. One more thing, which trim level Corolla did you get? S, LE, XLE, ?
