| The Toyota Corolla has been completely redesigned for 2009. The compact affordable car offers a quiet ride, generous cabin, refinement and reliability. The all-new 2009 Toyota Corolla appears lower and sportier with its A-Pillar and C-Pillar pushed out to increase the angle of the window glass and improve its aerodynamic performance. The addition of a telescoping steering wheel improves the Corolla’s quickness and driving position. A fuel-efficient engine is another highlight of this sedan. For 2009, it gets variable timing for its intake as well as exhaust valves. |
