Safety
You know how they say “you get what you pay for”? While you’re not going to “spend an arm and a leg” for the Corolla, the doors sound tinny when they close, lending to a cheap feel. This always makes me wonder just how safe I am.
Fortunately, the 2009 Corolla does come with a slew of standard safety features. There are front-, side-impact and side curtain airbags; active head restraints; and all kinds of energy-absorbing beams and crumple zones. But vehicle stability control and traction control aren’t standard. If you want those items, they’re gonna cost you a bit more. Unfortunately, the Corolla’s IIHS Crash-Test Ratings for Side Impact and Rear Crash Protection weren’t available at the time of this review. Check back later to see when they’ve been added to this page.
