The 2016 Toyota Corolla LE: before you buy

Recalls and complaints

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 215 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, service brakes and seat belts; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

Under the hood

The powertrain to know here is the 1.8L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

It is rated 7.5 L/100 km combined: about 23 litres every 300 km. Expect about $11.63 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,125 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Who the Corolla suits

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

What to expect from the Corolla

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. In plain terms, its 368 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Try before you buy

Try the Corolla on your commute, then decide. If the Corolla is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Corolla answers the big questions.

Year and trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. 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.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$2,125 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $116.30 at our price setting.
