What to check on the Corolla

NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 187 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

What the figures tell you

The 1.8L 4-cylinder, paired with an automatic (CVT), drives it. 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 at 7.3 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 22 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $113.20 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

What to expect from the Corolla

As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A longer test drive

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

Narrowing it down

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

Running costs

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.32 in fuel.
