Auto loans: the 2022 Toyota Corolla XLE

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2022 Toyota Corolla XLE; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2022 Toyota Corolla XLE, here are the facts that matter.

A buyer's checks

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 105 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, power train and service brakes. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the specs mean

Its 1.8L 4-cylinder drives through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Expect about 22 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.3 L/100 km combined rating. In money, 1,000 km costs about $113.20 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Size and space

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. For luggage, 368 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Best uses

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

A longer test drive

A test week in the Corolla tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Money matters

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.32 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $113.20 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Which one to look for

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
