The 2015 Toyota Corolla CE for buyers

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2015 Toyota Corolla CE for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2015 Toyota Corolla CE, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

What to check on the Corolla

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Owners filed 220 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, structure and unknown or other; have those parts checked.

The numbers in plain words

The engine 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.

A combined rating of 7.5 L/100 km works out to about 23 litres per 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $34.89 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,125 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

A good match for

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

What the Corolla is like

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The trunk holds 368 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the Corolla for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Choosing the right one

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Running costs

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $116.30 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.63 in fuel.
