Recalls and complaints

There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 215 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, service brakes and seat belts; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Under the hood

Its powertrain is 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.

Its combined rating is 7.0 L/100 km, which means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. Expect about $10.85 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,000 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

The Corolla in everyday use

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The trunk holds 368 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who it is for

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

A longer test drive

Rent the Corolla first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Running costs

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,000 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

Year and trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Compare the LE ECO with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
