Just pruchased a 09 Corolla LE. I have 2 questions.
 
1) I have noticed that he car idles a little higher then most i've seen. Between 600 to 900 and with AC on, 1000. Is that normal, what has your experiences been?
 
2) Does this car use a timing belt or chain?

I have a '96 Altima and I know the '07 Corolla felt severely underpowered in comparison.
 
Is the '09 Corolla's pick up and passing power close to the '93 Altima?
 
How is the MPG compared to he Altima?
 
Thanks

Nanapat2,
 
Can you expand on the issues you have experienced with your Corolla?
 
I have gone back and looked at the postings, but I only found 1 specific about the tilt steering wheel.
 
Thanks!

I too notice this when driving on the highway. I've just accepted this as characteristic of the car.

fuel injectors, creaking sunroof, and power steering by mlenhart

">I'm really questioning my impulse buy on the 09 Corolla S. I was all set to buy a Civic, but the new 09 Corolla model looked really sharp... and everyone has Civics. I really liked how the Corolla test-drove compared to the Civic and it was a lot more spacious in the interior. I also liked the availability of options.
 
I purchased the Corolla in March. At 400 miles my car sporadically was having trouble turning over when I tried to start it. The dealer couldn't duplicate the problem so I drove it for a few more weeks. The problem persisted (2000miles) so I went back to the dealer. Turns out I need all of my fuel injectors replaced! It's in the shop right now (after waiting 2 weeks because the parts were on backorder).
 
I also noticed trouble with the steering on the highway. I am constantly battling with the car to keep it between the lines. It's very tiresome.
 
I also noticed that my sunroof is creaking when I turn the corner or hit a small bump in the road (3000 miles). Right now I'm just concerned with the fuel injectors, but I'm sure my car will be back in the shop soon to deal with the sunroof. I have an 09 Corolla loaner at the moment and entire front roof panel (in front of the sunroof) has a persistent squeak! I pushed up on the panel and it was really loose. Hopefully that doesn't happen in my car!!
 
I'm thinking I should have went with the trustworthy Civic.

LOL with Toyota USA, your dealer and the car.. I picked up my new '07 Toyota Corolla on 5/30/07 (see my previous post's).. Corolla's are made at the NUMMI factory in Calif. which is now in the middle of a whistleblower lawsuit for permitting "known defect's" on the car's produced there to still leave the factory.. I am about to report my car again for rust forming around the trunk which could be the same rust problem that has now caused the recall of the Toyota Tacoma's also produced at this same factory..
 
Yes you should have bought the Civic and I should have stayed with Ford Motor Product's..

Never had any noises coming from my sun roof....the one thing i don't like about the sun roof is that it doesn't tilt much at all. i think it tilt like maybe 2 " max. I thought the 08 model tilted like 6 ". other than that not problems (knock on wood) with the car and i have 5600 miles on it.
