Just my opinion
Don't buy a 9th gen corolla, I understand with every car you have problems, But for build quality get something else like a Camry, or Honda Accord.
Problems I had so far.
Rear left Drum bolt problem, Had to replace the wheel hub myself, cost $190.
This has happened ever since we got the car, dealer said he never heard the noise,
Got worse as time went by, so bad, I had to replace it. It's a real problem some bolts weren't completely tighten. Toyota ignores it. Google it.
Interior near windows start to loosen up and fake leather becomes detached, fixed with superglue.
Electrical problems with front headlights running battery dead, dealership fixed twice, they couldn't fix the problem, finally problem went away. Weird.
Lights sockets both needed to be replaced, kept burning out replacement bulbs.
AC leaks, around condensor, due to rock hitting condensor.. Toyota didn't really protect this important piece.. Just google AC Corolla problems, There was a guy who went on a rant about why toyota didn't protect the front condensor.
Some other problems i noticed on the other corolla, I have 4 relatives who all brought around the same year (03-05) corolla S All have AC problems, and All have fan blower problems. One guy just drives car with fan settings on the highest setting.
Just changed the starter yesterday on my 03 corolla with 150k miles, That is normal, but now the AC leaks for the 2nd time so i'm going to replace the condensor..
Sorry to many problems for me just my 2 cents get a better build car.

. The only problem I have with it right now is a low idle/stumble that I've been trying to track down. Other than that it's been great for the several months that I've owned it so far. 99k miles and counting.
