Before you sign for the Corolla

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 187 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, engine and unknown or other. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

The numbers in plain words

Power comes from the 1.8L 4-cylinder hybrid, driving through an automatic (CVT). It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Plan on about 14 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 4.5 L/100 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $69.80. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$1,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

The Corolla in everyday use

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Luggage space is 368 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Good uses for the Corolla

Its low fuel use suits long commutes and high-kilometre weeks. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

A longer test drive

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. Rent the Corolla for a week and see how it fits your life.

What it costs to run

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$1,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $6.98 in fuel.

Year and trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Compare the Hybrid LE with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
