Other Choices:

The Honda Civic emerged in 2006 from a redesign with a spacey interior and less backseat room, but with a better sense of style and road feel than the new Corolla. The Hyundai Elantra's a big bargain compared to the Toyota, as is Hyundai's larger Sonata compared to the $22,000 Corolla XRS. The Nissan Sentra has jazzier style and a better backseat, while the Mazda3 is the zippiest of all, and it can be tweaked out in turbocharged Mazdaspeed3 form.

    MIS Operations

    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.

    Wheel is all over the road

    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.

    Power Steering is Dangerous

    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.

    Corolla for Life

    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

    My wife and I have 2 2009 Corollas (His and Hers). They are both the same and both are getting 49 mpg plus at 60 mph on Cruise Control on the freeway on trips. The steering takes some getting used to but is no means dangerous. We are completely satisfied with ours--I have 10,000 miles on mine and she has 7000 miles on hers. Don Thomason, waucondaone@q.com

    My first Toyota since having a Corona (what the Camry was called man moons ago). The best thing about it seems to be the engine. It very efficient, but still peppy when you need it. My only complaint would is that all trims should have disk brakes all around. Home on, how much more could that be these days.
