News and reviews on new motor vehicles
2009Toyota Corolla 4-DoorXLESedan
Toyota Icon Evolution Not Revolution
by K athleen
C arr
Now in its 10th generation, the Toyota
Corolla has become an icon on American
roads, a symbol of simplicity and practi
cality. While other compact sedans have
sought to recreate themselves, the new
Corolla treads in the footsteps of its pre
decessors.
Redesigned inside and out. the 2009
Toyota Corolla is an economically priced
4-door sedan which comes in five trims,
the Base.LE, XLE.Sand XRS. The Corolla
surpasses all o f its competitors in reliabil
ity and attractive styling. For this reason,
Corolla could be considered the ideal to
and from work vehicle.
With a 1.8 liter I32hp4-cylinderengine
standard, the Base, LE and XLE variants
please the fuel economy buffs with 27mpg
city and 35 mpg highway. The remaining
two trims offer an optional 2.4L 158hp 4-
cylinder engine that gives 22mpg city and
30mpg highway. A four-speed automatic
and 5-speed manual are the two transmis
sion choices.
We found the lesser Corolla models to
be perfectly acceptable if not outstand
ing. Their performance is adequate with
the five-speed manual, less so with the
automatic. Their brakes are strong and
fade-free, their ride is good and their han
dling better than previous Corollas but
not up to some of the best of the compe
tition.
We would prefer more feel than is trans
mitted through the electric power steer
ing, and a higher level of interior materials.
The top-of-the-line XRS has much more in
the way of sporty looks, handling dynam
ics and get-up-and-go performance. With
larger tires and wheels, structural enhance
ments and more tightly-tuned steering, it
gets around corners more smartly without
much sacrifice in ride and will accelerate
from zero to 60 miles per hour in just less
than nine seconds. It's sprightly, but not
as quick as some of the higher-performing
small cars.
Take a brief glance at the old Corolla
and the new Corolla and you'll have a hard
time telling them apart. A longer compari
son makes the differences clear — the new
Corolla has an emphasized wedge motif
with stronger, straighter creases and new
headlights, taillights and grille. But the
basic shape stays the same - if you'll
forgive the totally worn out car review
cliche, it's evolution, not revolution.
With its blackout front grille and multi
reflector halogen headlamps, the new

Corolla displays unmistakable down the
road graphics. Adding Io the mystique of
the car are its color-keyed external mirrors,
rear-deck spoiler, and side rocker panels.
Along with aftermarket performance ac
cessories, you may be tempted to upgrade
its 15-inch wheels to 16- or 17-inch boots.
4-wheel ABS and front wheel disk brakes
are standard, as well as a unitized body.
While you may be perfectly satisfied
with the standard audio system on the
2009 Toyota Corolla, an option that needs
to be experienced to be appreciated is the
JBL AM/FM audio system with 6-CD

Toyota puts your safety first by equip

imposing. Walk away from almost any

umn.
The 2(X)9 Corolla’s interior is sporty
and distinctive-w ith roomy-feeling com
fort. While Corolla maintains the same
headroom, legroom and should room as
the previous models, it feels larger, thanks
to a careful redesign to enhance comfort,
utility and storage.
The instrum ent panel is very user
friendly and easily readable. A newly
developed highly efficient air-condi
tioning system brings cooling perfor
mance to im proved levels. A pollen-
rem oval filter is part of the new air-
conditioning system.
A variety of useable, easy-to-reach stor
age spaces add convenience and usabil
ity to the 2009 Corolla's interior. These
include center console side pockets, a
storage box above the usual glove box,
front and rear door pockets and more.
The 2009 Toyota Corolla promises to
continue the heritage of outstanding reli
ability, unsurpassed safety, and attrac
tive styling which has become the trade
mark of a great economy sedan.
When it comes to car styling, American
buyers are a conservative lot. You don't
buy a Corolla to impress your neighbors.
You buy a Corolla because it's frugal and
sensible. You buy a Corolla because it fits
your needs, not because you want to make
a statement.
