What to check on the Corolla

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

What the specs mean

Power comes from the 1.8L 4-cylinder, driving through 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.

Rated at 7.3 L/100 km combined, it needs around 22 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km weekend costs about $33.96 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Good uses for the Corolla

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

What the Corolla is like

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

A longer test drive

Rent the Corolla for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the Corolla first, and buy only if it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Picking a year and a trim

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $113.20 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.32 in fuel.
