I 'm going to end this debate with you as I don't wish to contnue wasting my time debating with someone who dosen't even own the freaking kind of car he's bashing.
 
Ohhhh, i get it now. I post something you don't like, and it doesn't count because I don't own it, and is qualified as useless "bashing."
 
the flat floor in the back is unmatched by any economy car.
 
Like the flat floor the Civic has offered for nearly a decade?
 
For all of you drivers contemplating the purchase of a new 2009 or 2010 new Toyota Corolla "go for it".
 
How about "drive it and its competitors, and decide for yourself which best fits your needs/wants?
 
And, why all the yelling at the end of your post? Guess we won't know why since you're through bashing me for disagreeing with ya over the handling merits of an economy car (or at least claim to be). You don't think its silly? I do, but I'm not leaving the forum just because you want me to do so. I'm not making it personal.

I have not driven may cars more expensive than a Corolla, but I have driven many less and my history of owning 5 different year Corollas should tell you my opinion. I love the way they drive. I like a comfortable car that just goes. I have not had the steering problem in amy of them. My 09 was the best yet. I could take my hands off the wheel and drive most of the time. I almost always drive one handed. I did test drive an 08 Civic and it wasn't anything special IMO. I didn't like the location of the E brake personally and it was my main reason for not getting that car. I plan on getting another Corolla when I get back in the States again.

The steering is precise, yet it is extremely light and lack feedback! When i drove one off the parking lot, i smacked it so hard and then realized that i was driving a Toyota... rofl...

You forgot one thing when reporting the news to tell the whole story.
 
1-Toyota Corolla was RECOMMENDED by Consumer Reports with a check
 
2-The Corolla is one of the best riding small cars, and it soaks up bumps well. Its cabin is quiet, except for relatively mild road and wind noise, and a smooth engine hum. ( the previous sentence that you left out)
BY CR 2009

You are correct, I did not repeat the entire CR review of the Corolla, since the thread we're on was about steering feel (plus I can't type that fast!). I agree the Corolla is one of the smoothest-riding and quiet small cars. But again, the thread we were on was steering, so that is what I focused on with my excerpt from the CR review.
 
I did say I thought the Corolla has many good points. It's just that I don't think steering feel is one of them.

I'm with you, backy. My ex-gf had a 2004 Corolla LE. Very nice little car for $18k, and rode quite nicely. A mini-Camry. Just because I don't like the steering system in the '09, doesn't mean I'm trashing the car.

Wow two of the biggest Corolla bashers on the thread agreeing with each other. Go figure.

Of course you are!

Sure did!

No, not at all!

Geez, why so defensive? I mention not liking an aspect of the car and suddenly I'm bashing it. What did this post have to do with the Toyota Corolla?
 
Seems pretty "off-topic" to me.
