Any time a car comes in five different trim levels, as the 2009 Toyota Corolla does, one would expect a large variety of standard and available features, and the Toyota Corolla delivers on most counts.
The 2009 Toyota Corolla offers a respectable list of options on the most basic versions, with Cars.com listing standard features as "air conditioning, power mirrors and a CD stereo with an auxiliary jack." Moving up the trim list on the Corolla Toyota, Edmunds finds that "the LE gains power windows and locks," while the XLE version of the 2009 Toyota Corolla adds "electroluminescent gauges, keyless entry and variable intermittent wipers." Finally, they add that the top-end Toyota Corolla XRS includes "chrome interior trim" and standard cruise control.
Additional available options for "all Corollas except the base model are available with the optional moonroof," according to Kelley Blue Book, and "XLE buyers can specify JBL audio and navigation" for their Corolla. Toyota’s latest effort, Cars.com feels, "doesn't boast quite as much value for the money as some of its competitors do."
Conclusion
The 2009 Toyota Corolla comes with a large list of features, notably the optional moonroof and navigation system, but they can be a bit pricey.

I love the car but not the "Digital Clock" in the dashboard. Now my kids can't see the clock. In the brochure shows the Clock as a separate device and not included with the multi information display.

Electronic Power steering dangers -
On a few cars they didn't calibrate the new steering. Some will notice that it will not track straight. It will seem to pull to the left or right. But this should be a recall but I am just one person.

I am having a little issue. It's like driving a shopping cart. My steering drifts all over the road. I almost ran into sign.

Driving many hours day the car is pulsing from right to left. My neighbor has one the same year and it drives just fine. The Toyota Dealer says it's just a common complaint but it's normal.

What Happened the the new Corolla? I just bought the new 2009 and the steering is something awful. Someone is going to get HURT! It takes the wheel and sometimes wont give it back.
Steering is near perfect

I've had my 09 XRS for about 7 or 8 months now and I've never had any problem with steering. I can let go of the wheel for a good 8 seconds at 120kph with little to no drift in either direction. I drive it every day.
This steering problem that some people are having definitely doesn't happen on all of them.
steering is very dangerous

steering is a constant correction over correction etc and is extremely dangerous.the dash gages are difficult to read in most daylight conditions.clock and temperature gages should have dedicated spaces.as it is you have to take you eyes off the road to long to read all the info.gas/temp gages to small
