I’ve owned mine for a year–its my second toyota, and i haven’t had one problem with it. The gas mileage is great. Its an excellent commuter car and it actually pretty nice on long trips.

@Debtx – There are lots of variables. The only way to get a precise number is to manually calculate the average mileage each time you fill the tank. You’ll also want to reset the mileage indicator with each tank fill.

I have had my 09 Corolla since July 08. The mileage indicator started at 38 mpg when I picked it up and it has decreased by a fraction consistently since which is strange because my driving is all in-town and has not fluctuated much since I purchased the car. I am currently getting 28.3 mpg according to the on-board indicator, I have to wonder if it’s right or just there to make me feel good. Is the number credible at all?

I bought an 09 Corolla over 6 months ago and average 42 mpg combined driving in summer. Its coming in about 38 mpg in winter. I use some hypermiling techniques.

I just bought a Corolla base model and it is loaded with stuff previous generations left out. The odd thing is no power locks. The ride is smooth and cabin sound low. This is the first automatic I have bought because the millage is higher with the auto than with the manual.

any idea why the corolla with the 2.4 gets such terrible gas mileage. i mean, shouldnt it get at least the mpg as the camry with the same engine. it is lighter. is this an inaccurate epa number (not likely) or what? this would be a cool concept, big 4 cyl in an economy car. just what a performance minded driver turned hypermiler would want in his driveway. please shed some light.
