Replying to: denvecsr (Apr 29, 2009 12:28 pm) You might be interested in the 2009 Corolla review by the Edmunds' editors. Here is part of the review: Body roll is decently controlled, but the electric steering on non-XRS models provides so little feedback, you may find yourself making corrections simply to keep the car traveling in a straight line. Toyota retuned this setup for the XRS, and indeed its steering feels crisper and weightier. Driven on a back road, the Corolla XRS is undeniably a capable compact sedan, but compared to rivals like the Mazda 3, Civic and Lancer, it's not a very entertaining one. In any case, getting back to the discussion at hand - we all need to be careful not to make differences of observations and opinions into personal issues. Let's just talk about the EPS experiences here and not each other. |

Is the new EPS steering a drastic problem or is it something that you can get used to after a few weeks? If it is a drastic problem, should I start looking for another vehicle? and also, what is a good OTD price range for the toyota corolla le sedan?

Replying to: mnf (Apr 29, 2009 1:01 pm) To clarify: I find my 09 to be effortless to steer around town, a little vague maybe but not too bad. Definitely less effort than my previous 2 corollas. The issue I have could be described as a floating, wandering, aimless sensation when running at real-world expressway speeds - sorta like my long-ago Ford Torino with bald tires and bad shocks. Problem is I commute an hour each way daily at those speeds so it gets tiresome, and I'm not sure I will be able to live with it for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. I'm not saying I expect superb, crisp, agile handling - if that was the case, I'd have bought an Acura.... What I'm looking for is, has anyone had success getting this corrected?
