What about a 50% half/half or maybe option, because I love everything about the corolla except its weak acceleration and responsiveness.

If you bought the Corolla hoping for a car to race in, you're probably not going to be too impressed. If you bought it for its reliability and efficiency as a car to get you around, you're probably going to like it a lot more. It would be nice if the AT in the non-XRSes came with 5 instead of 4 ratios, as the engine runs a bit faster and as a result gets a bit louder at highway speeds. The engine is especially made more audible due to the low wind noise of the car (a plus by itself though). Overall, I love it. 
I wonder what those “people” drive and what their age group is?
If I’m happy with my car than I do not care what other people saying and what their impression about my car is. You bought this car for yourself, so be happy and enjoy.

I've been in love with the Corolla S since November, and I had not even driven one yet. The car in general has a sporty look, which is what I was looking for, but also has everything I need, including four doors. I couldn't be happier. For a woman it's odd for me to be "in love" with my car, but it's true. I spend so much time making sure it looks good you'd swear I was more of a chick then I actually am.... Overall, the car, is amazing, I could not be happier and I most definantly am in love with it
I'm 26 years old. I bought a 2009 Toyota Corolla XRS in October. So far I really like my car. Some of things I love is the 2.4L engine its got a lot of torque coming from owning Honda's the torque is something I really enjoy.
Going quick on ramps its kinda of disappointing its def not as sporty suspension as I would have hoped the XRS has some sort of sway bar under the hood I don't think it does to much personally. :sosad:
One thing that I've even thought about going into the dealer for but I'm sure they would just shush me out of there. Is the driver and passenger doors you can see the clips that hold the door in threw the plastic on the door. this is just a visual aspect of the car that makes it look "not finished" thats disappointing. :sosad: (its like 4 or 5 bumps in the door that run hormonally above the handle.)
I don't like how the button that opens the doors is not lit up when its dark it be nice to quickly look down and hit the button when my friends are getting in the back seat seems no brainier for Toyota to put a led in that button.:sosad:
The $1300 GPS def the biggest mistake the navigation this thing is junk the only thing i like about it is i can log maintenance on it. The speakers are OK but nothing great .:sosad: (would like to replace the speakers)
The things I love is the simpleness of the car it should last long I like the 5 speed manual.
I wish the paint was stronger too its seems kinda of delicate but this is my first new car maybe thats how new cars are now of days. :sosad:
If i was in the market again I would check out the Ford Fusion that car has a lot of nice features I really think American cars might be steeping up to the plate. don't mean to hate on the car I just paid a decent amount over 20K for but they always say you hear about the negative things a lot more then positive. I am happy my biggest HOPE is that the resale value this 2009 XRS is half way decent if i go to sell the car in a 5 to 10 years.

What exactly are you saying here?
I must take you on a drive.
I'm happy with my 'rolla, especially after the alignment. Steers like a dream now.
