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.
