A buyer's checks

NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 105 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, power train and service brakes; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Under the hood

It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder and 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.

Fuel use is rated 6.8 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 20 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $10.54, and a 300 km weekend about $31.62. The EPA estimates US$1,925 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Good uses for the Corolla

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Room inside

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 510 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

Rent it for a week first

A week with the Corolla answers more than any brochure. Rent the Corolla for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $10.54 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
