"Once you have a Corolla, you never go back"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing yet, will keep you guys updated.

General comments?

I think that the 2009 Toyota Corolla is a great car. This car seems to be a winner with great gas mileage and a great ride. The five speed brings a lot of fun out in the Corolla. When looking at other cars of its class, this seems to have a way better build quality (sorry Honda & Nissan). I would suggest this car to anyone.

Corollas are very nice little cars and I'm glad that you like yours, but a 10 in both comfort and performance? I think that might be a little over enthusiastic.

My personal experience would give a Corolla a six (or seven at best) in those categories.

Original reviewer, well this is my second Corolla and to me they have a good comfort level. As for the performance, no it's not a race car or sports car, but once again for its class it performs great compared to some other economy cars, cause that's what it is.

Yes they are comfortable, but when you look at ride, noise level, level of support in the seats, they are not my first choice for a cross-country trip. Thus I personally would not score them a 10. Also in performance if a Corolla is a 10, what would a high performance car score?

Again, nice cars - as much car as most people might need, but more of a 6 or 7, than a 10 in my book.

Well, looking beyond these minor matters, just want to add that this superb vehicle saved my sister's life this week, in an accident which resulted in the Corolla going over the road edge and rolling upside down below. All the safety features (massive air bags, etc) unleashed, she was wearing her seatbelt, and apart from hurting afterward in every imaginable way, she walked away without severe harm. Truly a miracle.

When I queried the tow company as to why the roof hadn't caved in, further trapping her, they replied that these cars are superbly built and highly safe; more than most in this class. So, she is awaiting settlement from the insurance company and then heading straight to Toyota for another of the same!!

Positive TEN points all around for the 2009 Corolla 1.8 ~~!!
