not stupid . We test drove an '09 COROLLA and the steering was one of the reasons why we went with the YARIS . The COROLLA seemed to wander ( lose ) on the interstate during the drive . The YARIS more tight . Someone we know that has an '09 says her steering seems awkward . Not sure if the electronic steering in the COROLLA is set up different than that of the YARIS . Programming ? Parts ? The 2 YARIS we have are quite tight and responsive . Like the ride of the YARIS better . The COROLLA had more engine noise too . Maybe due to the 5w-20 motor oil that's now used in the newly designed 1.8 ltr. motor for the '09 and 2010 COROLLAs . The new engine STEERED us away from the COROLLA as well .

+1.
I really like the new design "S" Corollas. I would not hesitate to buy one, but I'm broke!

my Corolla gave me almost everything i wanted moving up from the yaris. a quieter engine, less road noise, smoother ride, much smoother shifting in the manual, BUT...
...any wandering the yaris did was due to its weight and tall profile in the wind, not the steering so much. toyota, imo, never got the eps right in the corolla. now that it is being looked at, i am one who would be happy if toyota was prompted to find some kind of adjustment to the eps that would improve it. |

I dont believe toyota intended for someone to hack into the computer and foricibly cause a short. I smell some bs. Im sure you could short things in other vehicles that were not intended to be shorted and cause all kinds of problems.

My dad drives his 90' Toyota Camry everyday to work (he's owned a 86 Camry, 90' Camry current, 1998 Camry), commuting 30 miles each way, rain, shine, wind, etc....has never...RAN AWAY....
I drive my friends 05 Toyota Corolla S, he drives hard, i baby it going to Tahoe and everywhere...it hasn't escaped from him, has it? 60k + miles...still running like a beast. Toyota wouldn't screw people over...why, after such a long period of time? F- the media and GM...i drive a Japanese, more importantly, a Toyota...not touching anything other than a Japanese or...German (Audi). There should be some guidelines set on posting any more recall threads on here~ It seems like people are sinking themselves more and more into this subject than any other subject they took in college...lol |

Toyota wouldn't screw people over...why, after such a long period of time? To overtake G.M. as worldwide leader . Get too big for your britches syndrome
 . Get tainted by the mighty $  .

take a peek at this from ABC's NIGHTLINE about computer glitch : http://abcnews.go.com/NIGHTLINE and click on AUTO PROFESSOR PINPOINTS POSSIBLE CAR FLAW . If it's made and programmed by a human there's room for error . TOYOTA is run by people , so greed
 takes over right from wrong and the power goes to their heads . . If this turns out worse and it impacts the TRADE IN VALUE even more for all TOYOTAs including the YARIS we'll be p*ssed  like so many others . That's one of the many reasons why we and others buy TOYOTA .

not gonna lie.... after hearing everything (and personally thinking since the start of this) it has to do with something with the DBW...... i am very confident in that.
am i worried? no will i buy another toyota? YES will i make a false claim to toyota or anyone jsut because toyota is so weak and i can? NO and many people need to think about this. yes, its made by humans, yes its possible to fail (bu really even if it were made by robots which were made by humans it still could fail) is it a serious issue? HELL YEAH!! but toyota is finally getting its share of issues. i do personally believe toyota is being great on this, they are bringing in and checking almost any car possible but at the same time, i think they are hiding a few things and they still arn't exactly sure what the issue is..... jsut my $0.02
