My undying love of Rue aside - I've driven the '08 and '09 Corolla, and I wouldn't touch it with Eve's store-bought titties. Its still a cheap-feeling pile of back-crushing crap. Reliability is one thing, but running up my chiropractic bills is another. So it gets 30 mpg on the highway, so what? That rating is under ideal conditions and ONLY with the anemic 1.8 liter coupled to a manual transmission that would make my old '67 Ford F100 laugh it's rust off. I also own a 2005 Ford Focus that gets 30 mpg ACTUAL and with a 2.2 liter coupled to an automatic that shifts seamlessly, and has all the balls that the Corolla's manual lacks. It also leaves my spine, and my aging butt in one piece and doesn't make me worry that the doors will fall off if I close them just a little bit harder than necessary. As for the '09 Corolla, after driving one for 10 days I spent as much time looking for the Mattel label as I did for a less punishing position to sit!
