Recalls and complaints

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 105 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, power train and service brakes.

Under the hood

It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder and 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.

Plan on about 21 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.1 L/100 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $33.03 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,000 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who rents the Corolla

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

Space and size

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. In plain terms, its 510 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.

Try before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Corolla for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the Corolla on your commute before you commit to it.

Which one to look for

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.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$2,000 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting.
