I didn't believe you at first, my 99 was ~2300 pounds if I remember correctly, but the 09 is over 2700.... that's a little dissapointing

the 09 corolla didnt get much longer than the 9th gen (if at all), but got a little wider. along w/ added standard safety features/sound insulation, hard to avoid the weight gain. but, its pretty quiet and smooth riding for an eco car. still i get about 1.5-2 mpg less than i did w/ my yaris on the same route, same driving style, so that new 1.8 engine is very efficient. would love to see it in the next gen yaris.
