What to check on the Corolla

NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 187 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Specs, explained

It runs the 1.8L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

When the Corolla makes sense

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Room inside

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is 368 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Rent it for a week first

A week with the Corolla answers more than any brochure. A test week in the Corolla tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Which one to look for

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
