What is the difference between the 09 and the 10

[digisattech]

Hi i was just wondering what is the difference between the 09 and the 10 as i am thinking of buying one. Did they Fix any issues that people were having with the 09 about the rpm, the grinding etc.

I never used the Search option, so I tried it, but still didn't find the answer to the question above, "Did they fix the 2009 issues on the 2010 Corolla"?

I was doing some research on them...just so i can help out in here some (i'm a Camry guy). I believe they added traction control and stability control as standard features across all models. I know in '09 they were options.

As for issues i don't know.

Not really sure what issues your are referring to, I believe they specific to certain batches, not the entire model year.


Obviously, as the model gets older, more options become standard. But they didn't reinvent it, its still an economy car that has a few rattles, motivated by the front wheels through an efficient 4 cylinder.

only way to find out if the issues were fixed or resolved is to drive a 2010 corolla. no one really knows. my wife and i bought the 2009 corolla not knowing that problematic issues are going to arise in some units. but ours still have the one and only issue which is the static reception of some FM radio stations. other than that we have never experience any issues to this day and the car is almost a year old.

The latter half of that assertion would constitute opinion only and should be given the weight it deserves.

LOL... Don't know where to start here.

4 out of 5 dentists agree the '10 is better than the '09.

If you experience dizzyness or shortness of breath, do not buy the '10 and call your doctor.

Side effects from buying the '10 have been reported, including diarrhea, bleeding, fainting and erections lasting longer than four hours.

Your mileage may vary...

The difference.....12 months and a thousand dollars.
All 09 problems have been fixed, but now you have the 2010 problems to deal with.

thats true. then what are the 2010 issues.

[scathma]

There are a whole list of problems with the'10. Use the search:

Oil gelling in the 2.4 (now the only engine in '10)
Premature burn out of the optional HIDs
Problems with the 5spd trans now that it's standard across the line
Ditto with the rear disc brakes
Body kits falling off the LE and XLE's
CAI fouling the MAF's
and tons more squeaks and rattles

So glad I got an '09...
