The 2016 Toyota Corolla: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2016 Toyota Corolla for sale by us right now. The 2016 Toyota Corolla for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 215 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, service brakes and seat belts; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain here is the 1.8L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 7.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 22 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $33.48 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,063 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the Corolla
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Best uses
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Drive it on your own roads
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the Corolla answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $111.60 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,063 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Ready when you are
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
