The interior of the 2009 Toyota Corolla has gotten very positive reviews from around the car community. Toyota has done it again by using high quality materials to create a simple, yet elegant car. The Corolla has been in the top five bestselling vehicles despite not having any drastic changes since the 2003 remake. The Japanese car company has stuck with that strategy this year. They haven’t overloaded the driver with a hundred different buttons or options because their past success has shown that people in the market for compact cars such as the 2009 Toyota Corolla aren’t really looking for that. Instead, they care more about having a quality car, one that is easy to use and reliable.

      Toyota has given them just that in 2009; again. The interior has low-gloss black plastic on the center stack, trimmed on both sides by silver pieces. In line with most Toyota products, the knobs and gauges are very big and easy to use. Many competitors lack this ease of use, but Toyota is known to use high quality materials for their gauges, since they use almost the same ones in all of their cars from the low-end to high-end. Not only are they easy to use, but it isn’t difficult to tell what each does (even the first time you drive the car), and they are all laid out in a very efficient manner.

      The 2009 Toyota Corolla comes chalk full of features, some standard and others optional. Among the standard features is a standard tilting and telescoping steering wheel in order to make it comfortable for every user. Every 2009 Toyota Corolla also comes with air conditioning (with air filter), power mirrors, an auxiliary radio input, foldable rear seats, a fuel economy gauge (shows average and current fuel economy, distance to empty, current outside temperature, as well as a few other facts in a multifunction display.) It also has a satellite capable AM/FM/CD audio system with four speakers. A more powerful audio system is also available at request (only in some trims of the car). There are many other features to the 2009 Toyota Corolla, these are just some of them which a driver or passenger may notice on the interior.

      The interior of the 2009 Toyota Corolla is not only efficient, it is also comfortable. The 2009 Toyota Corolla is similar in legroom and interior size at past models, but a redesign on the shape makes it feel bigger now. The seats are very comfortable (in both the carpet and leather models) with great lower back support as well as thigh support. The back has headrests for all three seats. The space has been adequate for most people, although there may be leg room issues for anyone over six and a half feet tall. Other than that the interior has been noted as one of the best in the compact car market. The 2009 Toyota Corolla is certainly one to think about if you are in the market for a compact car.
